Tim Britt

Tim Britt, of Buffalo, NY is a self taught musician who got his start playing as a teen in the local clubs in his hometown of Whitesboro, NY.

With an engaging personality and vocals that range from a soft vibrato to a raspy rocker, from an operatic falsetto to a mellow baritone, this solo acoustic act continually proves he can entertain a vast audience, and never fails to impress. His original songs have an appealing style of honesty with bluesy undertones, and range from love songs, to contagious crowd sing-alongs.

His ability to combine humor, sensitivity, emotion, and true passion in his vocals, with a percussive approach to guitar, intricate finger work, and a looping system that can layer harmonies, rhythms, and sound effects, make this entertainer not only unique, but a refreshing change to the music scene.

Kate Clark

Kate Clark is an active vocalist and multi-instrumentalist in the Buffalo music community, playing most regularly with Almost Seamus and Uncle Ben’s Remedy (previously Rear View Ramblers, CPX, Stone Row).  She and her fiddle have also appeared in several theatrical productions in Buffalo (Ring of Fire; Once, and most recently, Come From Away). Sportsmens Americana Foundation’s Best Female Vocalist in 2018 and several Buffalo Music/Nightlife Awards for Original Female Vocalist.

Beave Sorenson

Beave Sorensen has been writing and performing as Leroy Townes for half of his life. The songwriting spark found him while he was working his first job as a paperboy and discovered a John Prine record at a garage sale.

In college, the Leroy Townes Band took off and has released four albums and an EP. His new project, The Blue Velvet Band sets its stage up back in Prine territory. Stay tuned for future releases.
