notloB Parlour Concert News September 2013THANK 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! Please spread word by “liking”/sharing our Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/notloBFolkConcerts

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

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.

LORD GEOFFREY PRESENTSFor 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
