In the whirlwind of networking and stress and calling in favors that is planning a last minute tour, I've found a diamond in the rough of the internet. Mr. Moss sent me a bunch of links of Boston venues, one of which is a little place in Jamaica Plains called the Whitehaus, who seem to have some pretty rad stuff going on. They're a venue/record label/artists collective-type thing, with lots of cool music that you can get for free or cheap, and a very friendly-looking kitty cat named Red. I miss my cat... Ethel, if you're reading this, I'll be back in CT in March. Don't pee on my stuff while I'm gone.
They recently re-posted a comp called the Whitehaus Family Sampler: Vol. 1 that is really quite great. Lots of lovely folky stuff with pretty voices and glockenspeils and stuff; the types of songs you would want/expect to hear at a living room house show that was also a vegan potluck and a bike repair workshop, or something. I've been listenening to it all morning.
Sewing Machines is gonna be playing their Hoot (short for Hootenany) on March 6, which sounds like it's gonna be an awesome time. So if you're in Boston then (or any other time) you should totes czech this place out. They do good things.
Also, they already linked to FFR from their website, which was sweet of them.
