March 2007 - March 11, 2007

March 2007.

Lately, I've been hard at work on music projects in the community of Jamaica Plain (where I live) and Berklee College of Music (where I work). I've changed my main focus away from performing for the time being, but I do have some shows on the gig page. I'd love to see you out there at a gig, or at one of these awesome events I'm coordinating!

Toshi Reagon has been named to present pioneering all-female rock group Fanny with the ROCKRGRL Women of Valor Award, Friday, April 20, at the Berklee Performance Center, located at 136 Massachusetts Ave., Boston. Tickets are $15 and the show begins at 8:15 p.m. For ticket information, please call 617 747-2261, or visit www.berkleebpc.com. Berklee and ROCKRGRL are pleased to welcome WMBR 88.1 FM's Lost & Found as a media sponsor.

Fanny, the first all-female band to release a full-length album on a major label, signed with Warner Brothers' Reprise Records in 1969. The group released five albums on the label by 1973, influencing the Runaways, The Go Go's and countless female musicians across generations.

I'm also very proud to announce that the acoustic music series I launched, along with my faithful volunteers, in February 2007, has been a smashing success so far! Click the image above to be directed to JP Unplugged's website for more information!
