notloB Parlour Concert News
September 2013
THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING LIVE MUSIC!
notloB Parlour Concerts is unique in the greater Boston area in terms of the model (admission is by suggested donation, all proceeds, less production costs, go to the artists). The series would not be possible without the support of our loyal patrons and volunteers. Join us and bring a friend or two or three to an upcoming concert!

DAROL ANGER AND EMY PHELPS WITH FAMILY AND FIENDS
In our last newsletter (July) we stated “Unless David Grisman or Sam Bush call asking for a gig, the next notloB parlour will be Saturday, October 5. The artists’ names will not be released until September.” Well, as Sam will be in the area during the months of September and October, we highly recommend see one of his performances. Not sure when Dave will be in the area. But we do have someone who has played with both as our October feature, the one and only Darol Anger will be returning, this time with Emy Phelps and family and “fiends.” This will be at a private residence just west of Cambridge, so advance donations are required; on receipt the address will be provided. Please send reservation requests by email to notlobreservations@gmail.com.
DOWN THE ROAD
After six years at the Loring-Greenough House notloB is moving to a new venue, the First Church in Jamaica Plain, which is literally across the street at We will be combining resources with the former “Eliot Street Soirée”, read the details here. The new series will start on November 1 with Fellswater, a veteran of both series, and will continue with The Bombadils from Quebec on November 22. Visit the bands’ websites; more information will be in the October newsletter. Tickets for both concerts will be available for purchase through Brown Paper Tickets. The Eliot Street Coffeehouse will soon have a web presence on First Church Jamaica Plain’s website - http://firstchurchjp.org/

LORD GEOFFREY PRESENTS
For the fall, our brother series, Lord Geoffrey Presents will be offering an unplugged series in Cambridge featuring rising young talent from the Berklee College of Music and New England Conservatory! The concerts will be presented at Outpost 186 in Inman Square, where there is plenty of space and on-street parking / close to the T, not in a bar where artists compete with loud conversations and blaring televisions, or in a cramped listening room packed four to a tiny table!
September 25 - TBA
October 16 - Cat and The Moon
November 20 - Dan Bui and Friends
December 18 - TBA

History. Since June 2, 2007, notloB Parlour Concerts has presented over 100 old-time, blue/newgrass, folk, Celtic and country blues artists to audiences throughout the greater Boston area. The concerts are volunteer-run and not for profit. 100% of the patron donations go to the artists and production expenses.
"The concerts always have a warm atmosphere and are fun to play. From a musician's perspective, I really appreciate the effort Jeff puts into his shows. Nobody on the Boston folk scene works harder to pull a concert together."
~ Alastair Moock
"In this era of pop-driven acoustic music, notloB is keeping the folk tradition alive."
~ Jack Hardy
