On June 12, 2010, the Boston Typewriter Orchestra is pleased to present
“Type-In, the Boston Typewriter Orchestra’s 5th Anniversary show.  The
show will be held at 80 Border Street Cultural Exchange Center in East
Boston.  The festivities will begin at 7:30 PM with an open practice for
anyone who would like to play a tune with BTO.  Audience participants are
welcome to bring their own typewriter or share a BTO typewriter.  At 8PM,
Jess and Keith from Mellow Bravo will be performing acoustic blues rock; to
be followed by the Boston Typewriter Orchestra kicking out the Qwerty jams.
 DJ Jim Barnes, who will hoof it up from the New York office, will
entertain throughout the evening on the decks with his unique vinyl
sensibility.  Cake and refreshments will be served after the show.

BTO began playing small parties in Cambridge and Somerville, but was able
to achieve significant recognition as a result of a featured appearance at
Somerville Art Beat in July, 2006.  BTO has been featured on television
several times including NBC Weekend Today and Chronicle.  BTO has also been
featured on NPR Radio and has performed live on WMBR.  The group recently
completed a successful run, opening for Le Cabaret Grimm at the Boston
Center for the Arts.
