Mr. Deacey. . .

 . . . speaks . . .

At Brewer’s Alley Songwriters’ Showcase this Monday, August 20, we are pleased to bring back as the featured singer-songwriter T. EDWIN DOSS! T helped out Jeff Talmadge last week on a couple of songs, but this week he gets to sing a bunch of his own country-tinged Americana creations, including a couple of new ones that will knock your socks off! T often plays with a hot trio, but I prefer to hear him solo – just his warm, lived-in voice, excellent guitar and terrific songs! Of course, he does play the guitar the wrong way round, so it’s hard to tell which chords he’s playing – but he sounds great anyway…

For the prelude this week, ROCKIN’ RAY JOZWIAK is back with his gonzo piano, boldly taking us to places no-one has gone before, not even him! As usual, come early to find good seats for the evening and to catch the entire prelude. You can come upstairs at 7:15 pm (maybe 5 minutes or so earlier than that if Rob is ready; performers can come up when they arrive).

For three-song cameo performers this week, we have a slightly extended line-up –TOM McBRIDE, a Boston native who now lives in DC, MARY GORDON HALL, who recently moved to Hyattsville from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, MARY SUE TWOHY, best known recently for her radio program and her job as program director for Sirius XM Radio, and Todd’s Pick – MIKE HOLLAND (Todd says we’ll love him!). As time permits, we will be also hearing from the usual crew; poet JOHN HOLLY reciting his poems between other performers, and TODD C. WALKER himself, who also takes photos, helps emcee and helps run sound. TOMY WRIGHT is away this week.

MISTER RON GOAD will be flying solo on percussive things this week, fresh from backing the wonderful Dulcie Taylor at the Kennedy Center today… Incidentally, we are losing Dulcie shortly, as she is going back to California in September… We hope she will sneak into Brewer’s for a three-song set before she leaves the area. I'll continue the Goad Chronicles next week, so you can learn what our hero has been up to...
