Jamaica Plain Music Festival 5th Year Anniversary

The Jamaica Plain Music Festival is about to celebrate its Fifth Year anniversary. With its humble beginning in 2010, this free concert held at Jamaica Pond with two performance stages is scheduled for Saturday, September 12. In the Boston area in the last year, there have been significant changes in the music scene with the announcements of TT the Bears Club in Cambridge and most recently Johnny D’s in Somerville announcing they will be closing, puts the Boston music scene in a much tighter squeeze. To talk about these issues, the JP Music Festival, its importance and some of the issues surrounding Boston’s current state of Live Music, I am joined by the founders of the JP Music Festival; Shamus Moynihan and Rick Berlin.
