Songwriter Sessions pairs host Herb Heins with some of the most talented songwriters and performers in the WNY region. These sessions will give the audience a chance to hear a wide variety of talent presenting new and innovative music that represents some of the best of what our part of the world has to offer. Each session will feature a regional songwriter; some established, many up and coming. Some sessions will feature full bands or backing musicians. Herb and guests will perform together on each other’s songs as well as doing solo sets. New songs, works in progress and songs improvised on the fly are all part of the show. Writers may discuss how songs came to be or their creative process. Here is your chance to see and hear these wonderful artists up close and personal.

Herb’s been composing, performing and recording in Rochester and WNY since 1985. His recent projects include Papa Herb & The Sol Vibration, Got Herb?, guest performances with The Gregory Street Pilgrims tribute to The Byrds album Sweetheart Of The Rodeo, performing with members of Into The Now’s tribute to The Rolling Stones album Goat’s Head Soup and guest performances with The English Project. Herb is also a member of The Nashville Songwriters Association. Herb’s album New For You and Papa Herb & The Sol Vibration’s album One Time is available on all streaming platforms.

Wednesday, September 25 brings the amazing Tom Mahoney to our stage. His beautiful melodies and insightful, story filled lyrics evoke the music of writers like John Prine, Townes Van Zandt, Hunter & Garcia and many other icons of American song. Tom fronts several groups in town, including the bluegrass sounds of Grand Canyon Rescue Episode, the grooving jams of Million Dollar Trailers or leading the legendary Into The Now on another long strange trip into the deepest parts of the Grateful Dead songbook. Check out Tom’s solo album Postcards From The Cafe Bliss as well as Grand Canyon Rescue Episodes albums Wishing Well, Follow and Dirt Road Highway, available on all streaming platforms.
