Dear Folks,
Two years ago the collaborations of Dennis McCue and Kat Everitt
brought about a combo that brought diversity to the open mike stage
of the San Francisco East Bay Community...
A combination of musical genres reflecting folk beginnings and
melodic new twists to pop songs.
Denny’s classical musical background began in brass instruments,
winning several awards, including the nationally recognized John
Philip Sousa Award; and then progressed to the musical stage, with
his performing in twenty theatrical productions. Leaving that behind,
he toured with his folk group through Europe and also another
European tour with the St. Charles Madrigal Singers.
In the Navy he was accepted into the Marine Corp. band, but instead
chose to tour with the Navy Bluejackets Choir doing concerts through
out the Midwest, while he served in the Naval Air Command.
The succeeding years found him playing in Bluegrass groups, and
studying at the Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago on Guitar
and Banjo. While in Chicago, he studied under banjo master Michael
J. Miles; and performed with Pete Seeger in Chicago; as well as
singing the National Anthem in several ball parks, including the
Chicago Cubs Wrigley Field.
Kat Everitt comes from the same Classic back ground as well, and
performed lead rolls in the musical theater. She also conducted
several Irish and Alpine singing groups in the Bay Area, for about a
decade. Kat performed Solo Irish Music for over five years. She is a
valued back up singer to several performing groups in the Bay Area.
As a California Credentialed K/12 Multiple Subjects Teacher, Kat
also taught and directed Singing/Performing Groups for ages twelve
through eighteen for over a decade. She also has written scores of
Lyrics, twenty of which have be given their melody by Song Writers
in the Bay Area, and are performed regularly at venues in the Bay.
Both of us are very interested in Radio. Kat performed in radio for
years as a child, and loves the medium...Both of us are personable,
articulate, experienced performers, who would love to share all the
wonderful musical selections, artists, genres and performances we
have known and loved for so many years. In addition, we have a
wealth of Friends who are Performers, Singers and Musicians and
Song Writers, who would be willing and able to perform Live on any
‘Show’ we put into production. We would be happy to work with the
Local Performers of the Counties reached by KQBM, to have them
perform for our ‘Show’ frequently.
We intend to call our ‘Show’: DOWN FROM THE MOUNTAIN.
Our Production would be Americana Music, meaning songs and
instrumentals from the Old Timey Music genre; Fifties R and B
genre; through the Folk Period Revival of the Sixties; into the Blues
from the early decades through today; Country and Western;
Bluegrass; and more ‘folksy’ Jazz, such as Dixieland, even! The
Music is historical and American in orgin...we’d be commentating as
we went along throughout the Production. We anticipate the ‘Show’
to be at least a halfanhour
long, at least once a week, at a good
primetime
spot, if we could, as we believe there is a very large
audience of folks who would enjoy this music very much, in our
Mountain Communities. We would be happy to consider more time in
Production, if the Radio needed our Programming.
We are delighted to be a part of the Mountain Music Community and
the rich historical and musical heritage tradition around us. We hope
to be part of your Airwaves, as DOWN FROM THE MOUNTAIN, in
many positive and productive ways, all in service of Music!
