M&M SONGWRITERS SERIES PRESENTS JOHN DADY

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 Sunday, 3/1, John Dady will be our guests in Quiote at Rio Tomatlan in Canandaigua from 3 to 5 PM. If you have never seen this great singer/songwriter, raconteur, and entertainer, you are in for a great experience. To get a feel for his talent, take a look at the videos below!
"Minstrel Man"
"Mind to Move"
"It Used to Be Darker"
"Little Stream"
"It Will All Work Out"
"You Bring Out the Peace in Me"

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

THE MARIA GILLARD TRIO COMES THROUGH ONCE AGAIN!

Another full house for the terrific show given by The Maria Gillard Trio this past Sunday afternoon! Maria, mixing her new well-crafted songs with her classics ,and displaying, as always, her unpretentious, sincere nature, captivated a highly appreciative audience for two hours. “no One Will Ever Know,” a song she wrote for the songwriting contest developed by Sarah Long Hendershot, “What If All of Rochester Wrote the Same Song,” was one of the new songs added to her catalog. Another great new addition to her show came when she had Perry Cleaveland fill in for Scott Regan on “Blue Ridge Moon,”a song from A LITTLE LUCK, analbum of duets she recorded with Scott. Her band members, Perry Cleaveland (mandolins, fiddle, and vocals) and Doug Henrie, (standup bass) deftly enhanced Maria’s performance with improvisational leads that were often interrupted with an enthusiastic response, especially on “Red Dirt,” a song from LITTLE ROSE. As only it could have, this beautiful afternoon once again came to a conclusion with a rousing standing ovation! I’ll leave you with one of my favorites she played this past Sunday, "I'm a Country Gal with the City Blues."
Big thanks to Maria, Perry, and Doug for such a super show! Big thanks to Raf, Erin, Teresa, Trevor, Noah, Hanna, and the rest of the staff at Rio for their help in setting up and running this event! Big thanks to Scott Regan of WRUR’s “Open Tunings” for always taking the time to promote our shows! Finally, big thanks to you, the audience, for being there and supporting this event! Without you, it just wouldn’t work! One of our area’s favorite sons, John Dady, will be in Quiote on March 1. Hope you can come back and make it another great afternoon!
