Livingston County’s Tim Bucci & the Barley Boys, Saturday, February 20

at Black-Eyed Susan Acoustic Café

Hank, Willie, Dylan, Young, Garcia...  When only a first or last name is needed for identification -- as it is with these musician-composers -- it likely means one has achieved the rank of “musical icon”.  

On Saturday, February 20th TIM BUCCI & THE BARLEY BOYS will treat audiences to high-spirited renditions of classics by these and other mid-century American songwriters at Black-Eyed Susan Acoustic Café, 22 W. Main St., Angelica NY.  

Guitarist TIM BUCCI is the host of a long-running weekly open mic at “The Statesmen” in Geneseo, NY.  He is joined by BARLEY BOYS Chris Peacock on upright bass and ANDY GEIER on slide guitar. All three add competent, harmonious vocals to the mix. Over the past year they’ve performed at “Better Days” in Wellsville; the “Idle Hour” and “The Statesmen” in Geneseo, and “Gonzo’s” in Lockport.   

Don Ash of Black-Eyed Susan remarked, “Tim Bucci has jammed with a long list of musicians from around western New York. You can count on great sound when Tim is in the picture. The depth of his repertoire is astonishing. I don’t know how he keeps all those lyrics in his head - but I’m glad he does!” 

The doors at Black-Eyed Susan open for dinner, specialty coffees and desserts at 4:30 every Saturday. Enjoy the mellow sounds of JIM SCHWARTZ on guitar at 6:00, with TIM BUCCI & THE BARLEY BOYS beginning at 7:30 p.m.  There is no cover charge, but guests are expected to contribute to the musician’s tip jar.  The kitchen remains open on Saturdays until 10:00 p.m. and the café closes at 11:00.  Reservations for dinner -- while never necessary -- are strongly encouraged.   

Upcoming shows include a return engagement by father-and-son duo ERNIE and ANDY LAWRENCE playing blues, folk and progressive music on Feb. 27th; AARON HALL performing folk and original music on violin with vocals on Mar. 6th; an evening of Afro Celtic rock music with GEORGE HOCHBREUCKNER on Mar. 13th; and notable folk singer/songwriter LISA BIGWOOD of Naples, NY on Mar. 20th.
