WEEKLY UPDATE FOR OUR MUSIC FANS

Another great weekend of music, and I am just here to express my appreciation to all those who made it great for us! It was beautiful this past Saturday night, and Siobhan, Perry Cleaveland, and I played to a large crowd of folks who were enjoying the scene at Brew and Brats. Thanks to Perry who, as usual, lit it up with his mandolins and fiddle. He really captivated the crowd when he brought them to the Caribbean by making his electric mandolin sound like a steel drum. Thanks to Jack Jones, our good friend and one of the songwriters in our concert series, for joining us and playing one of his new tunes and engaging the crowd in a couple of classic sing-alongs. Thanks to John and Katie Brahm, John and Sherry French, Angela MacAllister, Edgar Brown, Alex, and the rest of the staff at Brew and Brats for their exceptional hospitality. Finally, thanks to all our friends, old and new, who came to see us. It was great catching up on the news with you, and we really appreciate your support!
Sunday brought us back to Rio Tomatlan to host another concert in our songwriting series. The Healing Committee (Alan Whitney, Kathryn Koch, and Tim Pitcher), knocked it out of the ball park for a third straight year. Their instrumentation, harmonies, and well-crafted lyrics were simply exquisite. Thanks to the healing Committee for coming through with another great show, and thanks to Perry Cleaveland for adding some mandolin to one of Tim Pitcher’s original songs. Thanks to Raf, Erin, Teresa, Julie, Brittany, Trevor, Sadie, Chris, and the rest of the staff at Rio for all the help they give us in our attempt to develop this concert series. Thanks to all of you who were there to enjoy The Healing Committee’s show. Siobhan and I are really committed to enriching our community to the beautiful original music of its local songwriters, and your presence at these concerts gives us the juice to keep going with our endeavor.
Still reading? If so, have a great week and thanks for being in our lives!
