Hi,
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 "I Just Try to Move the Chains," one of my original songs. You can read about the song’s history, review the lyrics, and listen to the song. If you want to add the song to your playlist, you can download it at Amazon or iTunes.
On Thursday, 12/17, Gordon Munding will be our performer in the “Side room” at Buffalo Bill’s. He will be presenting his original material. I hope this impressive bio entices you to come to his show!
“From upstate New York, Gordon Munding is an accomplished Blues, Roots and Folk musician. He is part of Rochester N.Y.'s Blues and Folk scene and a respected friend and peer. Way back in the 70s and 80s after meeting and opening for guitar gurus like Doc Watson and Richard Thompson, Gordon began to master the Piedmont and Delta guitar styles himself. He has also since mastered the resonator guitar, playing and teaching students this unique style, emulating the blues masters, while encouraging original improvisation. Frank DeBlase, of Rochester's City Newspaper, describes Munding's style as: "He dances across old National strings with red clay overtones in the swampy air. Crisscrossing with Appalachian, Bluegrass & Delta Blues, arising from the smoke of an impending collision." In another article Frank listed Munding as one of his “favorite guitarists” in Rochester’s eclectic music scene. In 2006 Gordon started a weekly tribute to Delta blues legend Son House (who was rediscovered living in Rochester N.Y. in the 60s). This jam continues today, almost 10 years later, now hosted by Bluesman Genesee Johnny. Gordon has opened for many national acts, including: Doc Watson, John Hammond & John Mooney. He has fronted local & regional bands, including "Blue Delta", and most recently "The Crawdiddies. He currently performs solo and teaches blues and finger-style guitar in workshops, festivals, and schools.
Since Gordon won Rochester NY's 1st Stan Rodgers songwriting contest way back in the 80's, he has continued to write successfully having his music aired on Ithaca, Jamestown and Rochester radio stations.”
Here is a video of Gordon with The Crawdiddies at the 2013 Lilac Festival.

The concert is free, but we do ask for donations to support our performers. Siobhan has created three CDs, one for each of our three 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.

SINGER/SONGWRITERS IN THE SIDE ROOM PRESENTS KERRY REGAN OF WATKINS AND THE RAPIERS
Hi,
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 "The Road Less Traveled," one of my original songs. You can read about the song’s history, review the lyrics, and listen to the song. If you want to add the song to your playlist, you can download it at Amazon or iTunes.
On Thursday, 12/3, Kerry Regan will be our performer in the “Side room” at Buffalo Bill’s. Kerry, who regularly performs with the group, Watkins and the Rapiers, will be showcasing a special show of his original material. I hope this little description from the Watkins and the Rapiers’ web site entices you to come to Kerry’s show!
“We play mostly original music, written by the band’s four songwriters. It’s Americana music, folk music with a beat, exploring many genres, rather than calculating a sound to fit a marketing category.
We had our first performance in January 1996. At the time, we weren’t a band, but friends who took turns hosting a weekly hootenanny / jam session with other musicians. The date, at the Rose & Crown, was arranged by our crowd’s mandolin / fiddle player, but the opportunity came up too quickly, and he was unable to participate. So Scott Regan asked the mandolin / fiddle player from his band, the Water Street Boys, to join us that night. Always up for a musical challenge, Bruce Diamond accepted. He raised us to a new level, and the next thing we knew, we were the bar’s Wednesday night band.
For that first job, bar manager Will Taggert had taken out an ad in advance, before he knew who would perform. He called the band Watkins and the Rapiers, the name of his own band from his teenage years in England. (The name derived from an inexpensive electric guitar from the 1960s, the Watkins Rapier.) We didn’t have a name and figured taking on the bar owner’s choice was good politics. And that’s how we became Watkins & the Rapiers.
A few months into the gig, Bruce invited his old band mate, drummer Marty York, to sit in. Soon he was a regular, and our original six-member lineup was in place. We played about a year of Wednesday nights before we had a practice. It was fun, like bowling night, Bruce noted. We played a wide-ranging repertoire, including many original songs along with covers by the likes of Donovan, Steve Earle, Roger Miller, the Morells, John Prine, Jonathan Richman and the Troggs.
We began to practice only after we decided to record a CD of some of our original songs. That CD, Play Along with Watkins & the Rapiers, was recorded and released in 1997. In 1998 we staged the first of our annual Christmas shows. By writing a few new songs for that show each year, we have amassed more than 40 original Christmas songs.
By 1999, accordionist/guitarist/songwriter Rob Goodwin was preparing to move to Bozeman, Mont. To ensure we had a record of the leading songs in our repertoire, we recorded our second CD, What Ever Happened to Watkins and the Rapiers.
We took some time off after Rob left, and then reformed in 2002 as a five-piece, often with friends sitting in. In May 2006, we went back into the studio to record about two dozen songs, half of which are on our third CD, It’s Christmas, Baby!, which we released at our 2006 Christmas shows. The rest were released in 2010 on The Return of Watkins & the Rapiers.
In between, in 2007, two players who had been sitting in with us became full-time members: Steve Piper, who mainly plays electric guitar with the band, and Rick McRae on trombone and keyboards.
We continue to play at pubs, coffeehouses, cafes, concert halls, festivals, fundraisers and farmer’s markets.

“The Dady Brothers are a musical duo who have been performing and winning the hearts of crowds professionally for over 40 years.

The instruments they have command of are: The guitar, 4 and 5 string banjo, pennywhistle, ukulele, fiddle, mandolin, bodhran, harmonica, concertina and the uilleann pipes. They have taken their talents to many diverse venues from the reaches of Alaska to Ireland from the Caribbean to Nova Scotia. They have performed well over five thousand shows at concert halls, schools, music festivals and night clubs. John and Joe have shared the stage with notables like: Tommy Makem and Liam Clancy, Terry Gibb, Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown, Ani DiFranco, Rick Danko, Arlo Guthrie, Kate Wolf, The Clancy Brothers, Johnny Paycheck, Paddy Keenan, John Hume, Papa John Creech, Jay Unger and Molly Mason, The Makem Brothers, Pete Seeger, Paddy Reilly, Cherish The Ladies”

So, if you just started reading my post and are interested in my original material, here is a link to "Boogie Woogie Therapy," one of my original songs. You can read about the song’s history, review the lyrics, and listen to the song. If you want to add the song to your playlist, you can download it at Amazon or iTunes.
On Thursday, 11/5, John and Cathy Cadley and their guest Perry Cleaveland will be our performers in the “Side room” at Buffalo Bill’s. I hope this little description from their web site entices you to come to their show!
“John and Cathy Cadley are one of the area’s most entertaining and popular duos. Following in the tradition of great male-female duets like Ian & Sylvia and Emmylou Harris and Gram Parsons, they show how the simplicity of two voices and two acoustic instruments can produce powerful music.
Their repertoire draws on the traditional bluegrass of Bill Monroe and the Stanley Brothers, the tight harmonies of the Louvin Brothers, the “new acoustic” sounds of Alison Krauss and Claire Lynch, and John’s own originals, which have been recorded by national bluegrass artists such as Tony Trischka, Jim Hurst, Missy Raines, and Lou Reid, who, with Vince Gill and Ricky Skaggs singing harmony, took John’s song, “Time,” to the #1 spot on the national bluegrass charts for three consecutive months. Cathy’s resume is equally impressive, including 21 years leading a church and gospel group in her hometown of Fayetteville, NY.
Their live concerts feature everything from traditional mountain ballads and bluegrass classics like “Bury Me Beneath the Willow” and “Blue and Lonesome,” to Alison Krauss’ “The Lucky One,” to the Louvin Brother’s “Cash on the Barrelhead.” And just to add a few surprises, you’ll also hear a great acoustic rendition of Paul McCartney’s “I Will,” a few of John’s originals from his Nashville-produced solo CD, The Closer I Get, and Cathy’s knockout version of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” For an evening of soulful duet singing and tasty picking on guitar and mandolin, the Cadleys are not to me missed.”
To give you a feel of John and Cathy’s style, here is a video of them doing "Don’t You Never Trust a Woman If She Don’t Like Dogs," a song from John’s latest CD, the Hard Years. To learn more about John and Cathy, you can check them out right here. Hope you can join us for this show!
The concert is free, but we do ask for donations to support our performers. Siobhan has created three CDs, one for each of our three 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:

SINGER/SONGWRITERS IN THE SIDE ROOM PRESENTS RICK HOYT AND COOL CLUB
Hi,
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 "Musician’s Prayer," one of my original songs. You can read about the song’s history, review the lyrics, and listen to the song. If you want to add the song to your playlist, you can download it at Amazon or iTunes.
On Thursday, 10/15, Rick Hoyt and Cool Club will be our performers in the “Side room” at Buffalo Bill’s. Rick delivers his lyrics in a style that may best be described as a rocking jump jazz blues mixed with some boogie-woogie ragtime swing. His group, Cool Club, is often composed of different members. They are as follows: Tom McClure, Perry Cleaveland, Doug Henri, Joe Crum, Oscar Yuan, and others. Who will show up this Thursday? I don’t know. What I do know is regardless of which cast of characters shows up, the show will get your juices flowing and your toes tapping. Check out these videos to see what I mean:
"I Can’t Be Any Better Than I Am"
"The Riches to Rag"
"White Men in Business Suits"
Hope you can join Rick and whoever shows up!

SINGER/SONGWRITERS IN THE SIDE ROOM PRESENTS TOM WHITMORE AND GARY HOLT
Hi,
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 "Tricklin to the Top," one of my original songs. You can read about the song’s history, review the lyrics, and listen to the song. If you want to add the song to your playlist, you can download it at Amazon or iTunes.
On Thursday, 10/1, Tom Whitmore of Watkins and the Rapiers will be our performer in the “Side room” at Buffalo Bill’s. Gary Holt will be backing up Tom on bass. If you do not already know Tom, here’s a little bio taken from Watkins and the Rapiers’ web site:
Tom Whitmore “Whit” (bass, guitar, mandolin and vocals) is one of Watkins and the Rapiers’ several songwriters (Scott Regan, Kerry Regan, Steve Piper, and Rick McRae). He has performed for more than a quarter century, including a stint as lead guitarist with the Syracuse-based quartet, the Sputniks, which included two other Regan brothers, Phil and Craig. Tom has a strong repertoire of campfire sing-alongs. Now that he is retired from his day job as a telecommunications executive, he devotes much more time to his music. In addition to his clever songwriting, Tom’s sense of humor is second to none.
Now, if you don’t already know much about Gary, here’s a little bio taken from his web site:
Since 1980 Gary Holt, founder and owner of Holt Studio, has provided musicians across the country with the finest in creative production. Combining comfort, with cutting edge technology, and wrapping it in affordable rates, Holt Studio has endured as a mainstay for the creative musician. Beyond the technical realm of the studio Gary lends himself easily to opening creative doors. A well respected studio and performing musician. Gary is often heard saying "OK, then let's try this ..." when faced with the ever lurking creative block clients occasionally face in the studio environment. It is this patient and knowledgeable attitude that has set him far apart from the mediocre in his field.

Here’s Tom with Watkins and the Rapiers playing "Long Walk Home," one of his original songs. Enjoy!

"SINGER/SONGWRITERS IN THE SIDE ROOM" PRESENTS LAMAY AND REESE WITH GUEST PERRY CLEAVELAND
Hi,
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 "Put Another Trophy on the Shelf," one of my original songs. You can read about the song’s history, review the lyrics, and listen to the song. If you want to add the song to your playlist, you can download it at Amazon or iTunes.
On Thursday, 9/17, Joe LaMay and Sherri Reese will be our performers in the “Side room” at Buffalo Bill’s. Perry Cleaveland will accompany the duo with his mandolin and fiddle. If you do not already know Joe and Sherri, here’s a little bio for you:
“Joe LaMay and Sherri Reese call themselves An American Folk Music Duo because their music reflects their love of our nation's rich traditional musical heritage.
Before they met in 1998 at a folk song circle, Joe had been a solo singer/songwriter, while Sherri had been singing and playing in a family old-timey and bluegrass band.
LaMay & Reese are committed to the sharing, learning, and promotion of folk music within their local community and beyond. Aside from being touring musicians, they host a monthly coffeehouse, a weekly acoustic music jam, head up a songwriters group, and since 2004 have contributed monthly roots music segments on Bill Knowlton's Bluegrass Ramble Radio Show (NPR).
Joe & Sherri's appreciation of the old songs is evident in their songwriting. Their songs feature old-style harmonies with a traditional feel. Several of their original songs have been recorded by other folk and bluegrass musicians. LaMay & Reese performances are always entertaining and fun. With Joe on guitar and Sherri on banjo, they present a collection of traditional and original songs that are sure to inspire the novice and please the traditionalist.
LaMay & Reese have released five CDs of their music, and printed a songbook featuring twenty-eight of their original songs.
Songwriting:
Joe wrote and recorded his first original song, “Comin' Home to Say Goodbye,” in 1976, and when he and Sherri teamed up in 1998, she began writing songs. Together, they have written a number of songs that have been recorded and performed by other folk musicians and bluegrass bands. Joe & Sherri present songwriting workshops at festivals. In their local community, they host a writers group and teach songwriting workshops at their local arts center. In 2013, they printed their first book of original songs – Words & Music.
Radio Show:
Since 2004, LaMay & Reese have been contributing monthly home-grown music segments to Bill Knowlton's Bluegrass Ramble Radio Show. Their twenty-minute segments feature songs and musicians recorded "live" in Kentucky and on the road. In over 100 segments, they have featured dozens of musicians, and hundreds of songs, showcasing American folk and bluegrass roots music. Now in its 43rd year, the show is aired on NPR throughout the northeast and over the world-wide web.
What Folks Are Saying:
With their story songs, beautiful harmonies, and their presence on stage, I believe LaMay & Reese are keeping alive a form of music that is more and more becoming a thing of the past.
Adam Phillips
WHAY 98.3FM
Americana 24/7
I know Joe & Sherri are good, but I never realized how good until I listened without distraction. No TV. No video. Just sound. Their harmonies are way cool.
Bill Davenport
Musician
Louisville, KY
Joe & Sherri have a special feeling for bluegrass and old time folk music, and are excellent songwriters who capture the sentiment and color of earlier music and many of their songs sound truly traditional.
Ray Baumler
A Variety of Folk
WRUR 88.5 FM
Glad my girls got to hear you two. I'd told them about you - but nothing like live!
Dulcimore Dan
Musician/Dulcimer Maker
Clarksville, IN
"We have seen Joe and Sherri perform a number of times, most recently at the Central Ohio Folk Festival. They did a brilliant set, playing and singing extremely well, and engaging the audience in a professional and most enjoyable way. We enjoyed every song they performed."
Phil Cooper & Susan Urban
February Sky

Joe & Sherri's appreciation of the old songs is evident in their songwriting. Their songs feature old-style harmonies with a traditional feel. Several of their original songs have been recorded by other folk and bluegrass musicians. LaMay & Reese performances are always entertaining and fun. With Joe on guitar and Sherri on banjo, they present a collection of traditional and original songs that are sure to inspire the novice and please the traditionalist.
LaMay & Reese have released five CDs of their music, and printed a songbook featuring twenty-eight of their original songs.
Songwriting:
Joe wrote and recorded his first original song, “Comin' Home to Say Goodbye,” in 1976, and when he and Sherri teamed up in 1998, she began writing songs. Together, they have written a number of songs that have been recorded and performed by other folk musicians and bluegrass bands. Joe & Sherri present songwriting workshops at festivals. In their local community, they host a writers group and teach songwriting workshops at their local arts center. In 2013, they printed their first book of original songs – Words & Music.
Radio Show:
Since 2004, LaMay & Reese have been contributing monthly home-grown music segments to Bill Knowlton's Bluegrass Ramble Radio Show. Their twenty-minute segments feature songs and musicians recorded "live" in Kentucky and on the road. In over 100 segments, they have featured dozens of musicians, and hundreds of songs, showcasing American folk and bluegrass roots music. Now in its 43rd year, the show is aired on NPR throughout the northeast and over the world-wide web.
What Folks Are Saying:
With their story songs, beautiful harmonies, and their presence on stage, I believe LaMay & Reese are keeping alive a form of music that is more and more becoming a thing of the past.

I know Joe & Sherri are good, but I never realized how good until I listened without distraction. No TV. No video. Just sound. Their harmonies are way cool.
Bill Davenport

Joe & Sherri have a special feeling for bluegrass and old time folk music, and are excellent songwriters who capture the sentiment and color of earlier music and many of their songs sound truly traditional.

"We have seen Joe and Sherri perform a number of times, most recently at the Central Ohio Folk Festival. They did a brilliant set, playing and singing extremely well, and engaging the audience in a professional and most enjoyable way. We enjoyed every song they performed."

"SINGER/SONGWRITERS IN THE SIDE ROOM" PRESENTS THE MICHAEL YACCI TRIO
Hi,
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 "The Good House Is Built Upon A Rock," one of my original songs. You can read about the song’s history, review the lyrics, and listen to the song. If you want to add the song to your playlist, you can download it at Amazon or iTunes.
On Thursday, 9/3, Mike Yacci will be our performer in the “Side room” at Buffalo Bill’s. Mike, who released a new collection of original songs in 2014, will be playing songs from this new release as well as some favorites from his older collections. If you do not know Mike, here is a little bio for you:
Michael Yacci is a multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, and audio producer. His most recent album, Almost Somewhere, was released in 2014, and is a finely crafted studio album of original pop/rock music in which he plays all the instruments and sings all the vocals (available on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, Rhapsody, Kunaki, and Apple Music.) His original music is often likened to artists such as Todd Rundgren, Brian Wilson, and Ben Folds. Previous recorded works include the 2012 album, Better Than Real and the 1980’s era vinyl recording, entitled Michael Yacci, all featuring Yacci as a multi-tracked instrumentalist. As a touring keyboard player and vocalist he has performed in 21 states, playing clubs and concerts working as many as 300 nights per year. Current musical efforts are largely devoted to writing and recording with a variety of musical styles, artists, and projects.
Performing as the “Michael Yacci Trio,” Mike will be accompanied by Bryan Maslin on drums and vocals, and Paul Yacci on bass, vocals, and saxophones.
To learn more about Mike and listen to his music, click here. Hope you can join us for the show!
The concert is free, but we do ask for donations to support our performers. Siobhan has created three CDs, one for each of our three 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.

"SINGER/SONGWRITERS IN THE SIDE ROOM" PRESENTS STEVE PIPER
Hi,
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 "Chasin’ the Sun," one of my original songs. You can read about the song’s history, review the lyrics, and listen to the song. If you want to add the song to your playlist, you can download it at Amazon or iTunes.
On Thursday, 8/20, Steve Piper will be our performer in the “Side room” at Buffalo Bill’s. Steve, who released a new CD since his last show in the “Side Room,” will be doing a solo show of songs from the new CD as well as some favorites from his older releases. Here is what Pat Maloney, an awesome songwriter, has to say about Steve’s music. “Steve Piper's songs are filled with the kind of longing you get when you are alone, but warm and dry on a rainy night - little circles of light in a dark and stormy world. I hear flashes of Buddy Holly and the Everly Brothers peering in from the darkness. I am nostalgic for Steve's past and want to join him, through his songs, as he slouches off towards Kansas City, searching for the truth.”
Here is a video of Steve doing “This House,” at his show in the “Side Room” at Buffalo Bill’s.
Here is a video of Steve doing “It Never Gets Old” at his show in the “Side Room” at Buffalo Bill’s.
In addition to being a great songwriter and guitar player, Steve is a terrific photographer and artist. To learn more about him, click here. Hope you can join us for the show!
The concert is free, but we do ask for donations to support our performers. Siobhan has created three CDs, one for each of our three 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.

Eddie Lee, Thad Maxwell, and Greg Gefell were our performers On August 6. We don’t have any videos of that show yet, but to give you a feel of the setting of these concerts, here is another video of Steve Piper doing another one of his songs, "See These Days Unwind."

SINGER/SONGWRITERS IN THE SIDE ROOM PRESENTS EDDIE LEE, THAD MAXWELL, AND GREG GEFELL
Hi,
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 "Ridin’ Down the Back Roads," one of my original songs. You can read about the song’s history, review the lyrics, and listen to the song. If you want to add the song to your playlist, you can download it at Amazon or iTunes.
On Thursday, 8/6, Eddie Lee, Thad Maxwell, and Greg Gefell will be our performers in the “Side room” at Buffalo Bill’s. The trio will be playing songs from Eddie’s recently released CD, all original music. Here’s some information about these guys in case you don’t already know them:
“Eddie Lee & Closing Time is headed by founder, singer songwriter and front man Eddie Lee. Upon his return from Nashville, the band enjoyed its first taste of success in 1997 with the release of its album “Eddie Lee & Closing Time”. The band released its first album self-entitled “Eddie Lee & Closing Time” which included 11 of Eddie Lee’s self-penned songs. The CD found great reviews in Europe and received local radio support winning a new song competition against major label recording artists 5 weeks in a row. The band endured a rigorous schedule of shows and took over as the house band for 92.5 WBEE radio. In recent years Eddie Lee has had the pleasure of sharing the stage with the likes of Phil Vassar, Joe Nichols, Sammy Kershaw, Confederate Railroad, Joe Diffie, Aaron Tippin, Marty Stuart & Jarrod Niemann.
In 2015 The Closing Time Train Rolls On! A NEW SELF-PENNED CD featuring 10 new songs has been released and is now available at shows as well as on ITUNES and CDBABY!!! This year also brings another calendar of shows with Fairs, Festivals and some of the bands favorite Honky-Tonks & Clubs.
Thad Maxwell has spent half his working life as a professional musician in Hollywood, CA. He played guitar, drums, bass, and pedal steel guitar on TV (over 40 appearances on the Tonight Show), recording, and touring with artists and bands such as: Swampwater (Linda Ronstadt), Tarantula, Arlo Guthrie, Mac Davis, Dolly Parton, Rick Nelson, and the Flying Burrito Brothers. He retired from 20 plus years of the music life and returned to upstate NY to teach third grade in Davis, Dolly Parton, Rick Nelson, and the Flying Burrito Brothers. He retired from 20 plus years of the music life and returned to upstate NY to teach third grade in Honeoye Falls for 21 years, and gradually returned to the music life and is playing with Eddie Lee and Closing Time. Yep, do the math and he’s a geezer, but still rockin’!
Greg Gefell is an Amazing Musician / Singer-Songwriter that has had a long standing career as the guitar player for local favorites Blue Jimmy. Greg has also spent time on the road with Nashville Recording Artist Sean Patrick McGraw. Greg spent the last year teaming up with Singer-Song Writer Eddie Lee. Together they collaborated to bring Eddie Lee’s new songs to life. Greg not only played guitars on the tracks but the album was recorded at Greg’s Studio “Red Door Studio” with Greg Producing and Engineering the project. Listening to the new CD the collaboration was really magic!”
Here are a couple of videos from Eddie’s latest CD:
"Tougher Than Train Smoke"
"I Would Take Your Place"
To learn more about Eddie Lee and Closing Time, click here.
The concert is free, but we do ask for donations to support our performers. Siobhan has created three CDs, one for each of our three 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.

SINGER/SONGWRITERS IN THE SIDE ROOM PRESENTS BONNIE ABRAMS AND ALLEN HOPKINS
Hi,
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 "Caught in the Middle," one of my original songs. You can read about the song’s history, review the lyrics, and listen to the song. If you want to add the song to your playlist, you can download it at Amazon or iTunes.
On Thursday, 7/16, Bonnie Abrams and Allen Hopkins will be our performers in the “Side room” at Buffalo Bill’s. Bonnie writes and performs her own songs AND she sings everything from choral music to Broadway show tunes. As "Voice of the Second Generation", Bonnie has performed programs of song and narration from the European Jewish experience at multi-cultural celebrations and Holocaust Commemorations. With Allen Hopkins, who has played bluegrass, blues, Celtic music, and even Stephen Foster ballads on his three dozen acoustic instruments, Bonnie’s versatility is complete. Time spent with Bonnie and Allen is a musical gift. The audience will laugh, clap, sing along, and maybe Even shed a tear.
Here are Bonnie and Allen at a
previous show in the Side Room doing "Rainforest Crunch," one of Bonnie's original songs. Enjoy!
To learn more about Bonnie, click here.
To learn more about Allen, click here. Hope you can join us for the show!
The concert is free, but we do ask for donations to support our performers. Siobhan has created three CDs, one for each of our three 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 takes 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:

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 takes 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:

SINGER/SONGWRITERS IN THE SIDE ROOM PRESENTS JIM CLARE, PERRY CLEAVELAND, AND TAYLOR PIE
Hi,
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 "Shake the Dust off Your Sandals," one of my original songs. You can read about the song’s history, review the lyrics, and listen to the song. If you want to add the song to your playlist, you can download it at Amazon or iTunes.
On Thursday, 6/18, Jim Clare will be our guest performer at the “Singer/Songwriters in the Side Room” concert series. Jim’s sense of humor is second to none, and it, along with his self-deprecating manner, really draws his audience to him. For this show, Jim will have Perry Cleaveland and Taylor Pie joining him. Perry (mandolin, fiddle, and vocals), like Jim, is a down-to-earth guy who really knows how to have fun with an audience. Taylor, a singer/songwriter friend of Jim’s from Nashville, is doing a little tour in the Finger Lakes Region, and this is one of her stops. Her beautiful songs and genuine nature should be a nice addition to the mix. I’m sure the three will create a delightful evening! If you have the time, check out these videos of Taylor and Jim doing their original material.

"SINGER/SONGWRITERS IN THE SIDE ROOM" PRESENTS CONNIE DEMING
Hi,
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 "Leavin’ All Our Troubles Far Behind," one of my original songs. You can read about the song’s history, review the lyrics, and listen to the song. If you want to add the song to your playlist, you can download it at Amazon or iTunes.
On Thursday, 6/4, Connie Deming will be our performer in the “Side room” at Buffalo Bill’s. Siobhan and I have followed Connie’s music career from somewhat of a distance over the years, first seeing her at McGinnity’s way back in the 1970s. She has played in many places, and quite often, you will find her at the Little Theater Café in Rochester on Saturday nights. Connie has done a couple of shows for us in the “Side Room,” and they were simply outstanding. With her acoustic guitar, awesome voice, and powerful, thought-provoking lyrics she captivates her audience. Her heart-warming stories, injected with just the right amount of humor, put her listeners at ease, and it feels like you are sitting with a friend in your living room. Since her last show in the “Side Room,” she has released a new recording, Into the Blue, and you can expect to hear some of these terrific new songs in her upcoming show. Here’s a video of Connie from a previous show at Buffalo Bill’s. Enjoy!
"Across the Table"

"SINGER/SONGWRITERS IN THE SIDE ROOM" PRESENTS PAUL SWIATEK AND PERRY CLEAVELAND
Hi,
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 "Crystals," one of my original songs. You can read about the song’s history, review the lyrics, and listen to the song. If you want to add the song to your playlist, you can download it at Amazon or iTunes.
On Thursday, 5/21, Paul Swiatek and Perry Cleaveland will be our performers in the “Side room” at Buffalo Bill’s. If you don’t know either of these guys, here’s a bit of info I snatched from the web.
Paul:
“I have been playing music since I was in elementary school. Singing, banjo and guitar playing helped me earn money for college. Music is one of the great joys in life that we are able to experience. With a little know how and practice, you can participate in this lifelong creative way of life. Check out my menu of services that lists the instruments and topics that I teach
1) DISMANTLING THE "I CAN'T PLAY AN INSTRUMENT" BELIEF SYSTEM VIA THE MOUNTAIN DULCIMER- I love working with children and adults who believe that they are not "musical"or "talented". If you sit down with one of my mountain dulcimers, I promise that you will be playing a song and smiling within fifteen minutes. There are many people who have been taught negative, restrictive beliefs that have kept them from even trying to play an instrument. If you are one of these people, I invite you to contact me and move past this mental lock. Music is for everyone, no exceptions!
2) HOW TO PLAY THE ACOUSTIC FOLK GUITAR
3) HOW TO PLAY BLUEGRASS STYLE GUITAR
4) HOW TO PLAY FINGER PICKING STYLE GUITAR
5) HOW TO PLAY THE FIVE STRING BANJO
6) HOW TO PLAY THE MOUNTAIN DULCIMER
7) HOW TO PLAY HARMONICA
8) HOW TO BUILD A MOUNTAIN DULCIMER
9) BASIC MULTI TRACK SOUND RECORDING
10) SONGWRITING FOR THE BEGINNER-INSTRUMENTALS
11) SONGWRITING FOR THE BEGINNER-VOCALS
12) WORKSHOP: "CONSORTING"- MAKING MUSIC WITH NO TALENT REQUIRED!
13) WORKSHOP: HOW TO PLAY THE MOUNTAIN DULCIMER.
14) If you are an artist who is interested in deepening your emotional awareness and how it connects to your work, let's talk. Individual one hour counseling sessions are available at my office on 1580 Elmwood Avenue.”
Perry:
“He is a SAMMY Award winning mandolinist who also adds lead and harmony vocals, fiddle, lead guitar and clawhammer banjo. Born in Louisville, Kentucky Perry emigrated to Syracuse, N.Y. and grew up in a household that hosted many bluegrass luminaries during his formative years. In his High School years, and continuing later, he began playing in a number of New York State Bluegrass bands including: Hard Times, Pleasant Valley, Bristol Mountain Bluegrass, Rosewood, John Rossbach & Chestnut Grove, The McCarthy Paisley Band, and Lost Time. He has performed for festivals, colleges, clubs, private parties, corporate events, arts centers, schools, town concerts, PBS/NPR affiliates: WCNY, & WXXI, and New York State Council on the Arts-sponsored events, including Arts in Education series’ under the auspices of Young Audiences of Rochester.
His innovative mandolin playing keeps him in demand as a recording session player throughout New York State having played on projects by many regional Bluegrass, Old Timey and Folk artists such as: Joe Davoli, Maria Gillard, John Cadley, Ted Lambert, John Stevens, Andrew and Noah Van Norstrand, Jim Clare, Northwater, The Atkinson Family, Lisa Bigwood, Rebecca Colleen & the Chore Lads, Meyer & McGuire Brian Coughlin, and those bands as previously listed. Perry recently shared a CD release with the Rochester's Impressario of 'Songwriters in the Round', Brian Coughlin, and, as well, is featured on a new project from Meyer & McGuire. He is currently working on a project of his own original melodies and musings.”
Want a feel for how these two will sound together? Here is a video of them doing one of Paul’s songs, “Sell the Banjo, Dad.”

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 "Crystals," one of my original songs. You can read about the song’s history, review the lyrics, and listen to the song. If you want to add the song to your playlist, you can download it at Amazon or iTunes.
On Thursday, 5/21, Paul Swiatek and Perry Cleaveland will be our performers in the “Side room” at Buffalo Bill’s. If you don’t know either of these guys, here’s a bit of info I snatched from the web.
Paul:
“I have been playing music since I was in elementary school. Singing, banjo and guitar playing helped me earn money for college. Music is one of the great joys in life that we are able to experience. With a little know how and practice, you can participate in this lifelong creative way of life. Check out my menu of services that lists the instruments and topics that I teach
1) DISMANTLING THE "I CAN'T PLAY AN INSTRUMENT" BELIEF SYSTEM VIA THE MOUNTAIN DULCIMER- I love working with children and adults who believe that they are not "musical"or "talented". If you sit down with one of my mountain dulcimers, I promise that you will be playing a song and smiling within fifteen minutes. There are many people who have been taught negative, restrictive beliefs that have kept them from even trying to play an instrument. If you are one of these people, I invite you to contact me and move past this mental lock. Music is for everyone, no exceptions!
2) HOW TO PLAY THE ACOUSTIC FOLK GUITAR
3) HOW TO PLAY BLUEGRASS STYLE GUITAR
4) HOW TO PLAY FINGER PICKING STYLE GUITAR
5) HOW TO PLAY THE FIVE STRING BANJO
6) HOW TO PLAY THE MOUNTAIN DULCIMER
7) HOW TO PLAY HARMONICA
8) HOW TO BUILD A MOUNTAIN DULCIMER
9) BASIC MULTI TRACK SOUND RECORDING
10) SONGWRITING FOR THE BEGINNER-INSTRUMENTALS
11) SONGWRITING FOR THE BEGINNER-VOCALS
12) WORKSHOP: "CONSORTING"- MAKING MUSIC WITH NO TALENT REQUIRED!
13) WORKSHOP: HOW TO PLAY THE MOUNTAIN DULCIMER.
14) If you are an artist who is interested in deepening your emotional awareness and how it connects to your work, let's talk. Individual one hour counseling sessions are available at my office on 1580 Elmwood Avenue.”
Perry:
“He is a SAMMY Award winning mandolinist who also adds lead and harmony vocals, fiddle, lead guitar and clawhammer banjo. Born in Louisville, Kentucky Perry emigrated to Syracuse, N.Y. and grew up in a household that hosted many bluegrass luminaries during his formative years. In his High School years, and continuing later, he began playing in a number of New York State Bluegrass bands including: Hard Times, Pleasant Valley, Bristol Mountain Bluegrass, Rosewood, John Rossbach & Chestnut Grove, The McCarthy Paisley Band, and Lost Time. He has performed for festivals, colleges, clubs, private parties, corporate events, arts centers, schools, town concerts, PBS/NPR affiliates: WCNY, & WXXI, and New York State Council on the Arts-sponsored events, including Arts in Education series’ under the auspices of Young Audiences of Rochester.
His innovative mandolin playing keeps him in demand as a recording session player throughout New York State having played on projects by many regional Bluegrass, Old Timey and Folk artists such as: Joe Davoli, Maria Gillard, John Cadley, Ted Lambert, John Stevens, Andrew and Noah Van Norstrand, Jim Clare, Northwater, The Atkinson Family, Lisa Bigwood, Rebecca Colleen & the Chore Lads, Meyer & McGuire Brian Coughlin, and those bands as previously listed. Perry recently shared a CD release with the Rochester's Impressario of 'Songwriters in the Round', Brian Coughlin, and, as well, is featured on a new project from Meyer & McGuire. He is currently working on a project of his own original melodies and musings.”
Want a feel for how these two will sound together? Here is a video of them doing one of Paul’s songs, “Sell the Banjo, Dad.”

The concert is free, but we do ask for donations to support our performers. Siobhan has created three CDs, one for each of our three 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 each 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:

"SINGER/SONGWRITERS IN THE SIDE ROOM" PRESENTS SCOTT REGAN
Hi,
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 "The Circle Comes Around Again," one of my original songs. You can read about the song’s history, review the lyrics, and listen to the song. If you want to add the song to your playlist, you can download it at Amazon or iTunes.
On Thursday, 5/7, Scott Regan will be our performer in the “Side room” at Buffalo Bill’s. If you don’t know him, here’s a bit of info I snatched from the web. Hope it entices you to come to the show!
“Since 2004 Scott Regan has been introducing listeners to an eclectic mix of rock, folk, and acoustic music weekdays on Open Tunings. A fan of all kinds of music and strong supporter of the local music scene, Scott often invites local musicians and bands traveling through Rochester and the Finger Lakes area in studio to perform and share stories about their work. In 2012 Open Tunings was voted best radio program by Rochester’s City Newspaper.
Scott is also a musician and released his first solo album Autumn Moon in 2013. He is a member of Watkins and the Rapiers, an Americana music band with a folk beat. They mostly play original music written by the band’s four songwriters – of which Scott is one. In the band Scott plays guitar and percussion, and sings. He’s also an artist and recently released a book of sketches and haiku with friend Jeff Spevak of the Democrat and Chronicle called Jazz Lines.”
Perry Cleaveland, also known as the “House Band” in the “Side Room,” will be backing up Scott with some mandolin and fiddle.
Want a feel for how these two will sound together? Here is a video of them doing one of Scott’s songs, “Blue Blue Planet.”
