Justin Burns (Reverend JJ) has been playing music up and down the Merrimack Valley acoustic scene since 2002. He was formerly host to the now dearly-departed Evos Arts Institute open mic in Lowell, MA.

When not playing solo he is most likely strumming a tune in Thunderpants Johnson’s Hillbilly Orchestra.

This series, originally developed by Jen Kearney, provides a unique forum for songwriters to play their original work alongside other songwriters and the public.

The public is welcome to come watch, eat, drink, and applaud the work of many original songwriters and artists from the area.

Songwriters interested in playing only need to show up. There is already a house mixer. speakers, mikes, and stands there.
