About Boston Does Boston

Inspired by 1996 compilation, Burlington Does Burlington (Good Citizen Records), The Luxury’s guitarist/vocalist Jason Dunn pondered the recreation of the idea in Boston – “[Boston Does Boston] would be a way to knit an often disparate music community more closely together and make an unapologetically big deal out of the talent in the area without competition, rivalry or falling under any corporate or business umbrella, just plain mutual appreciation and tons and tons of talent on display.”

The idea continued with the production of CDs and CD release parties, giving all profits to The Animal Rescue League of Boston, where countless dogs, cats and other animals are given a second lease on life after being rescued from streets or abusive or negligent homes.
