On
the stage of Lakeside Melodies in 2009 |

Adrienne
Frailey, young and promising!
Last
summer the Lakeside Melodies stage was the domain of young,
fresh talent. Adrienne Frailey, accompanied by Joy Frailey
played a lot of tunes from her first, just released cd
Goodnight to the stars.
A cd full of original tunes. Adrienne Frailey, coming
from a musical family, is developing into 
|
a
good singersongwriter. Her voice has matured over the
last couple of years, which shows in the number of good
(folky) ballads and other songs on her cd. She plays guitar
and piano. If you're interested, click HERE!
The
website links you to several youtube movies, so you can
judge for yourself. Lakeside Melodies was happy to have
her on stage and we're sure this is not the last we will
hear from this talented singer.

| Reily
O'Connor & Molly
Moon, a great blend
Reily O'Connor and Molly Moon swept our usual crowd of
their feet in 2009. The musical couple played some great
original songs at the stage of Lakeside Melodies during
the monthly pot luck dinner for friends and music lovers.
Molly playing mandolin and guitar, Reily playing guitar,
both singing. The two know how to create a good atmosphere.
We'd love to have them back any time!
Reily has made several cd's. If you didn't get a chance
to join us in May, click HERE
to know more about them.

A nice group of musicians joined in the jamming, including
guests of Lakeside Melodies traveling with a piano! They
had a blast.

'It sounds like this group has been playing together regularly',
according to the audience.

B.B.
Wolfe, real folk
The audience was pleased with the performance of B.B.
Wolfe at Lakeside Melodies. This wonderful singer and
songwriter showed he knows what folk is all about. His
music comes from a tradition of folk, folk-blues and roots
music wrapped around lyrics that are part of what it means
to be human and the conditions that brings. A story about
life and living.

Elliott
surprises with great lyrics
He's been a musician over decades. Michael Elliott from
South Bend. Last year he played and sang at Lakeside Melodies
at one of our musical pot luck dinners for our faithful
circle of family and music friends.
Elliott surprised the crowd with his original tunes. Beautiful
songs about love and life, all written by himself.
Great singing and guitar playing, but the lyrics strike
you most of all. He had a very attentive and enthusiastic
audience.

| New
CD: Waterbound
Kevin Lockhart and Bill Bosler have released
a new cd: Waterbound. It's a combination of guitar and
singing (Lockhart) and hammered dulcimer (Bosler). The
album is a nice mix of original tunes and traditional
folk songs.
Live on WVPE
Bill and Kevin played for half an hour on WVPE on the
Sunday night radioshow The Back Porch, hosted by Al Kniola.
They played lots of their new tunes and had a blast.
