Description

Paddy D Quartet: Singer-Songwriter Paddy Dougherty Braunstein with her original quartet back in the day. The Paddy D Quartet, led by songwriter, vocalist, guitarist, and pianist Paddy Dougherty-Braunstein, reunites on Saturday, June 25, 2022, from 6-8 pm for the finale of this year’s Amherst Java and Jazz series at Second Stage | Amherst, 194 Second Street, Amherst, VA 24521. This concert will bring together Paddy and group members, Glenn Buck on keyboards and saxophone and Larry Scott on drums for its first full-length event in almost ten years. The fourth traditional member, Robin Tolley on bass, is unavailable and will be replaced for this concert by bassist Eric Hollandsworth. The band will perform original songs by Paddy D, as well as standards by singer/songwriters including Bonnie Raitt and Carole King to name a few. Paddy graduated from Randolph Macon Woman’s College and taught school at James River Day School before taking leave to tour nationally as a back-up singer, teach songwriting at Sweet Briar College and write over 300 songs for Kid Pan Alley. She formed the Paddy D Quartet, and the group became popular in the Greater Lynchburg area. In 2012, Paddy returned to teaching (music, drama, and choral groups) at James River Day School. Paddy looks forward to introducing the group to her grandchildren. Amherst Java and Jazz has been presenting monthly concerts of local bands since 2018, presented by Amherst Glebe Arts Response, and Second Stage I Amherst. Admission includes a free cup of coffee, water or soda from Baines Books and Coffee. Food will be available for purchase from Baines.
