KIMBERLY HAYNES with Vito Gregoli – Kindled by an awareness of divine guidance and conscious connection with spirit, singer/songwriter KIMBERLY HAYNES brings forth an uplifting invitation to discover a sacred space deep within the heart. The spectrum of her eclectic and enlightening songs evokes both the tenderness of a mother’s touch and the ancient feminine power of a tribal priestess singing her truth. Her debut album “Awaken Me” was nominated for Best Vocal Album and Album of the Year in OneWorldMusic awards and was recently reviewed in LAYoga Magazine. She is accompanied by her co-producer and co-conspirator David Vito Gregoli. http://www.MusicMedicineWoman.com
ALFRED JOHNSON is a highly regarded singer/songwriter & funky piano player and is considered by some one of this century’s most animated & original songwriters. Alfred co-wrote 3 songs with RICKIE LEE JONES on her Platinum Grammy Award winning premiere album containing the hit single ‘Chuck E’s in Love’. His energetic style of playing the keys brings a wonderful compliment to his music. Alfred’s songs have been covered by Diane Reeves & Ernie Watts. Known for his clever song crafting, Alfred’s lyric-driven tunes will captivate you. His music encompasses Funk, New Orleans, Pop, Rock ‘n’ Soul, Gospel, “Rhythm & Bluegrass,” and more. Alfred has written over 900 tunes, and at least 70 of them are published. http://www.facebook.com/alfredjohnsonmusic/
THE PAINKILLERS semi-acoustic show – Playing a collection of songwriter Steven Moos’ soulful, bluesy tunes & some choice covers, each Painkillers’ performance is a unique and memorable musical experience. What’s special about this band is the organic energy, great vocal harmonies, and interplay between founding members Steve Moos and lead guitarist Don Kirkpatrick. Joining them on background vocals, Carol McArthur & Lauri Reimer, and Julia “The Duchess” Thornton on percussion. https://www.facebook.com/ThePainkillersMusic/

#singersongwriter news from #BethSassMusic 🙂
I am pulling together material from three sources for my next album!
First of all, it will include two digital singles recorded and written with Jerry Kimbrough that have already been released: HUNTINGTON AVENUE and MY FAVORITE TARGET. It will also include two acoustic tracks I recorded with Bruce Dees: HANDS ON THE WHEEL (two versions: one with acoustic piano and one with acoustic guitar) and HARDEST PART OF TOWN. Finally, it will also include new several new songs written and recorded with Walter Egan over the past year. Here’s a sneak peak of MASTER OF THE YEARS.
Additionally, I hope everyone has also been enjoying my Archival Soundcloud Page, where many early and unreleased recordings are “seeing the light of day”, as Bruce Dees likes to say.
“Like your mother and her mother you started out before us
With peril and gravel, sweetness and silence on the way, on the way.
Through amber autumns and grave winters, spingbolts of cobalt and generous July’s along the way, on the way.
Still you walked , walk you still
Always have, always will”.
“….the window’s opened and the heat is on…..like me and you it’s at the halfway point”
Worked on #TinyDesk Style videos ALL day today in #Boston….
ALL DAY…ALLLLLL DAYYYYYY. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Thank you Scott Lilliott for your never ending dedication. XOXOOXO
