The concert is free, but we do ask for donations to support our performers. Siobhan has created seven CDs, one for each of our seven seasons that were held in The Side Room of Buffalo Bill’s and now in Quiote at Rio Tomatlan. 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 day of the donation. Since the performers who played in Buffalo Bill’s Side Room will now be playing in Quiote at Rio Tomatlan, the CDs will give you a good feel for what to expect in the upcoming shows.

Here is a link to videos of performers playing in Quiote at Rio Tomatlan and the Side Room at Buffalo Bill's. The videos will give you a feel of how much fun we have at these shows. Check them out!

Hope you can join us!
All the best,

Siobhan and Frank

SCOTT REGAN, THE VOICE OF WRUR'S "OPEN TUNINGS,"DELIVERS!

Shortly after Tiger won over the hearts of his fans throughout the world, Scott Regan won over the hearts of the audience who heard him in Quiote yesterday afternoon! In this intimate setting with simply his guitar, voice, and well-crafted lyrics, he created vivid images of his experiences with life, touching on topics centering on his mother and father, war, politics, being a stay-at-home dad, nature, and philosophy. He enhanced his exquisite performance with rambling, extemporaneous, entertaining stories, which only endeared him more to an already totally captivated audience. This perfect performance was further enriched when, at times, he invited Kerry Regan, Steve Piper, and Connie Deming to join him.
Big thanks to Scott for a terrific show! Big thanks to Kerry, Steve, and Connie for joining Scott! Big thanks to Raf, Erin, Brittany, Trevor, Julie, Chris, Sadie, Amy, Jasmine, and the rest of the staff at Rio for all the help you give us to make this event work! Big thanks to Scott Regan for promoting these shows on WRUR’s “Open Tunings!” Big thanks to you, the audience, for your continuous support of this venue! Without you, it would not be possible! Our next show will be on Sunday, April 28. The Brothers Blue (Ben Haravitch, Matt Sperber, and Charlie Coughlin) will be our guest in Quiote. There will be music downstairs for the brunch before The Brothers Blue takes the stage in Quiote at 3 PM. Stay tuned for more details about “Sunday Music at Rio!”

PICKIN' & GRINNIN' WITH SWIATEK, CLEAVELAND, AND HUGHES!

Great pickin’ and grinin’ and harmonies with Swiatek, Cleaveland, and Hughes in Quiote at Rio Tomatlan yesterday! The well-crafted lyrics of Paul Swiatek and Perry Cleaveland, whether in the style of blues, folk, or bluegrass, were surrounded by some incredible harmonies and guitar, banjo, mandolin, and dobro leads, and the audience reciprocated with an enthusiastic response throughout the afternoon. Ethan Hughes, a terrific dobro, guitar, and singer from Delaware, was a big hit in his debut with Swiatek and Cleaveland, and I only hope he finds a job in this area when he finishes up his degree at RIT. He would be a great addition to the Rochester music scene. Big thanks to Paul, Perry, and Ethan for a super job! Big thanks to Raf, Erin, Brittany, Trevor, Julie, Chris, Sadie, and the rest of the staff at Rio for all the help you give us to make this event work! Big thanks to Scott Regan for promoting these shows on WRUR’s “Open Tunings!” Big thanks to you, the audience, for your continuous support of this venue! Without you, it would not be possible! We’re coming right back at you with a show this Sunday, April 14. Scott Regan, a member of Watkins and the Rapiers, The Spring Chickens, and as I indicated above, the voice of “Open Tunings,” will be our guest. Whirlwood, MG Gonzalez, Perry Cleaveland, and Doug Henrie, will play for the brunch before Scott’s show. Stay tuned for more details throughout the week about Sunday Music at Rio!
