Bower Community Concert Series Virginia based singer-songwriter, Paddy Dougherty, returns to The Bower Center stage with her bandmates of thirty years to present one of three farewell concerts. With a mix of emotions and a blend of genres “Movin’ On” will commemorate the quartet’s many years of soulful blues, jazzy ballads, and commanding originals. Paddy, known regionally as the voice of the award winning band, Mainstreet Rhythm & Blues, also spent time on the road as a backup singer for national bluesman, David Bromberg. She had several of her songs fully orchestrated by legendary arranger, Charles Callelo and performed in concert with the Lynchburg Symphony Orchestra and Rita Coolidge. For five years, she toured as a songwriter with Kid Pan Alley writing hundreds of songs with thousands of children and after nearly thirty years of teaching music, Paddy retired from the classroom to return to the stage with consummate musicians Larry Scott/drums, Glenn Buck/keyboards and saxophone, and Robin Tolley/bass. “Life takes turns, things change, priorities shift, and people move. Sometimes it’s just time to honor what once was, celebrate it, and then embrace and make room for the new. Sharing music with these guys has been life changing. They are not only consummate musicians, they are dear friends. While keeping the band together is not sustainable or feasible given our current life circumstances, I sure know who to call when I need a drummer, bass player, keyboardist or sax player!”Join us for an unforgettable concert with Paddy right here at Bower Center for the Arts on February 28th, 2025.
