Volunteers needed for Notlob Acoustic Music Series at the Loring-Greenough House

Published by notlob at 3:13 pm under Other archive posts

The Notlob Acoustic Music Series at the Loring-Greenough House presents the best local and touring roots, Americana, newgrass, traditional and contemporary folk and blues artists in unique and unusual settings in the Boston, MA area. The Fall 2007 series continues at the historic Loring Greenough House, 12 South Street, Jamaica Plain, MA. 02130, http://www.lghouse.org.  Built in 1760, it is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and has been a historic house museum since 1926.  Its beautiful period decor and intimate size make it an ideal setting for acoustic music.

It may appear that producing a 40-seat concert is a cake walk, but lots of work is required behind-the-scenes.

Here’s the deal:  In exchange for being selected to work 4 hours (6-10pm) once or twice per month doing varied tasks as required you will receive

  • One comp to a future show,
  • An invitation to come (at your own expense) to after concert dinner with the artist(s),
  • A seat (when not needed elsewhere) in the foyer,
  • Recognition in the next newsletter,
  • Knowledge how to produce a concert,
  • Something to put on your resume,
  • A chance to rub elbows with some of the best folk musicians in the Universe.

The fine print.  Applying is no guarantee to being selected.  Having volunteered once is not a guarantee you’ll be asked to return.  You must apply for the show(s) to be worked.  Volunteers will be selected on the basis of need, experience and fit.  Volunteers will be under the supervision of myself or designee.

Volunteers will do no tasks I myself have not done or would not be willing to do.  Typical jobs:

  • Parlor and dining room set-up/take-down,
  • Merchandise sales,
  • Ticket sales,
  • Running for supplies (ice at Tedeschi’s, coffee at JP Licks, pastries at Sweet Finnish, etc.).
  • And any else as required.

If you have questions or are interested, send email to notlobmusic@gmail.com with your contact information and qualifications and we’ll talk.

Keep your lamp trimmed and burning!
