The free, 4th annual JP Music Festival will be held at Pinebank Field on Saturday, September 6, 2014 from 12–7 PM. Event on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/261461284013483/.
The festival will have two stages, with continuous music from more than 20 artists and bands. The festival features musicians, bands, group, or ensemble members who either live or work in Boston’s Jamaica Plain neighborhood.
This year, Jamaica Plain-based Samuel Adams is donating use of a trolley to take residents to and from Pinebank field before and during the festival with live acoustic music on-board. The trolley will make stops around JP and help decrease the need for parking near the concert site. Specific stops will be announced soon.

• Bed of Coals: winner of the JP Bar Wars event from JJ’s Foley’s Fireside Tavern
