Meyer and McGuire Present Leslie Lee and Steve Gretz (with guest Perry Cleaveland)

Hi,

On Thursday, 11/21, Leslie Lee and Steve Gretz will be our performers at the “Singer/Songwriters in the Side Room” concert. Perry Cleaveland, who seems to be the resident mandolin and fiddle player at our concerts, will come downstairs from his apartment over the restaurant and accompany Leslie and Steve for this show. The three of them played a terrific show in 2012, and we are glad to have them back! If you don’t know much about them, here are a few links to check out:

"'Til September" (A video of one of their songs from last year’s show at Buffalo Bill’s)

"One Great Hour to Share" (a video of one of their original songs)

"Immigrants" (a video of one of their original songs)

Some Bright Morning (clips from their new CD released in 2013)
Leslie and Steve's Web Site (find out more about them)

For those of you who are worried about this concert being a church service, relax! Steve is an ordained minister in the American Baptist Churches USA. (They are the Baptist who will talk to you even if you disagree with them.) Steve and Leslie have some great stories, and both have great senses of humor. Trust me! You’ll have fun!
Hope you can join us on November 21!

The concert takes place on the third Thursday 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. The concert is free; however, we compensate the performers with whatever donations we can gather from the audience. To learn more about Buffalo Bill’s, check out their site right here:

Eva and the Dog Boys were our guests in October. To give you a feel of the setting of these concerts, here is a video of the group doing one of their songs, “Behind the Soccer Ball.” (Please excuse any noise coming from the kitchen. Sometimes things can get a little hectic back there.)

Meyer and McGuire: News and Music schedule

Hi,

Hope you are all doing well! Here’s what I have for you in this update.

I can’t thank you enough for supporting original music! Eva and the Dog Boys put on a fantastic show at the “Singer/Songwriters in the Side Room” concert in October. Siobhan will have a video of one of their songs from that show ready for my next update in a couple of weeks. In the meantime, I just want to give you a little preview of Leslie Lee and Steve Gretz, the group who will be performing at our next “Singer/Songwriters in the Side Room” concert at Buffalo Bill’s on November 21 from 7 to 9 PM. Perry Cleaveland will be joining Leslie and Steve with his mandolin and fiddle. I’ll have more details in a couple of weeks, but if you have the time, check out this video of them doing their song, "'Til September," at a show they did for us in the side room in 2012.
"'Til September"

For those of you who are spread around the globe and never get to see any of our shows, here is a video of Siobhan and me on our back porch rehearsing “Livin’s Small,” another new original song we are getting ready to record with some friends as soon as we can get off our lazy butts. Hope you enjoy it!

Well, have to go for now. Below is a list of our dates for November. Hope to catch you at a show! Take care!

All the best,
Siobhan and Frank
