THE SIDE ROOM PRESENTS PAUL SWIATEK AND PERRY CLEAVELAND

Hey Folks,

This blog started out giving you posts of the songwriter’s notes, lyrics, and music for my original songs. As with many things, it has gone in new directions. So, if you just started reading my post and are interested in my original material, here is a link to mySongwriter Notes.

On Thursday, 4/19, Paul Swiatek and Perry Cleaveland will be our guest in the Side room at Buffalo Bill’s. As well as being great songwriters, These two are also terrific players of folk, Country, bluegrass, etc. Take a look at these videos, and you’ll see what I mean:
”Nihilist Blues”
”Am I Here Now”
”Breezy Point Long Island Fire”
”Sell the Banjo Dad”
”Mr. Sutter’s Lament”

The concert is free, but we do ask for donations to support our performers. Siobhan has created six CDs, one for each of our six seasons. Each CD contains songs of the performers who appeared during that season. The requested donation for each CD is $10, and the proceeds go to the performers who are playing on the night of the donation. The CDs have gotten good reviews, and we hope they get passed around to let others know about the great talent we have appearing at this venue.

The concerts take place on the first and third Thursdays of every month in the side room of Buffalo Bill’s Family Restaurant and Taproom, 19 Main Street, Shortsville, NY. The show runs from 7 to 9 PM. To learn more about Buffalo Bill’s, check out their site right here:

Here is a link to videos of performers playing in the Side Room. The videos will give you a feel of how much fun we have at each show. Check them out!

Hope you can join us!
All the best,

Siobhan and Frank
