SINGER/SONGWRITERS IN THE SIDE ROOM PRESENTS LESLIE LEE AND STEVE GRETS WITH PERRY CLEAVELAND

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.

If you want to listen to me and my partner, Siobhan, Practicing, here is a link to ”Livin’ Small,” an original song on my YouTube channel.

On Thursday, 9/1, Leslie Lee and Steve Gretz and Perry Cleaveland will be our guests in the Side room at Buffalo Bill’s. Leslie and Steve, a duo who plays folk, gospel, and Americana music, will have Perry Cleaveland accompanying them with some great sounds from his mandolin and fiddle. Rather than tell you about this terrific group, I’ll show you what to expect with the following videos:

SINGER/SONGWRITERS IN THE SIDE ROOM PRESENTS THE HEALING COMMITTEE (ALAN WHITNEY, TIM PITCHER, KATHRYN KOCH)

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 "Blue Highways," 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, 6/2, The Healing Committee (Alan Whitney, Tim Pitcher, Kathryn Koch) will perform in the “Side room” at Buffalo Bill’s. This Buffalo based group comes with very impressive credentials. Here is some information I extracted from The Healing Committee’s web site. Hope it entices you to come to the show!

“The Healing Committee with Alan Whitney, Kathryn Koch and Tim Pitcher

Western N.Y. singer-songwriter, guitarist, and recording artist Alan ‘ADub’ Whitney writes songs about guys who steal Cadillacs and have rope burns on their hands from holdin’ on too long. ADub rocks his own rhythm and soul Americana music. Early on, he worked as a singer-songwriter in Los Angeles and Nashville. Developing his music in legendary venues like The Troubadour and The Palomino on bills with such luminary Americana artists as Alison Krauss, Jim Lauderdale, Lucinda Williams and Dave Alvin has provided him a deep life experience upon which to draw. Notably, he was honored to perform a living room concert for Motown legend, ‘Smokie’ Robinson. With some choice writing credits and several albums under his belt, now living in Buffalo N.Y., Alan 'ADub' Whitney is working on a new album in Nashville and performing live with his latest project, ADub, Timmy P, and Kathryn Koch, The Healing Committee.

Western N.Y singer-songwriter, guitarist, multi-instrumentalist Timmy P. Pitcher is a third generation dance band musician who grew up playing in his Dad’s bluegrass band, backing his country songwriting Uncle Roj and performing his own electric rock music. Timmy P.’s deep pocket rhythm playing and lightning fast bluegrass flat picking, has put him on festival stages with Red Headed Step Child, Sanduleak, Victor Wooten, David Grisman, Sam Bush, Andre Foxxe Williams, and Keller Williams. Timmy P. is also the man who will slide under a Winnebago on a rainy Kentucky morning and beat the starter with vice grips until the band is once again moving forward.”

Unfortunately, The Healing Committee FB Web Site failed to include any bio on Kathryn Koch, probably because she is the strongest member of the group, and you know how guys hate to be upstaged (just kidding). The truth is Kathryn is in a witness protection program, and we can’t reveal any information about her. With that said, after listening to some of ADub and Timmy’s arrangements, I am sure Kathryn will only make the music stronger than it already is, and if they choose to return, I will definitely have a bio for Kathryn next time.

Below are some links to give you more information about The Healing Committee and their music:
