Opening Friday Nov 7th at the Pewter Plough Playhouse in Cambria will be the bio musical "Have A Hart". The play will run until New Years Eve, and is about the lyricist Laurenz Hart of the songwriting team of Rodgers and Hart. They wrote many standards including "Funny Valentine, Lady is a Tramp, Where or When and Blue Moon in their 25-year partnership from 1918 - 1943 when Hart died. This is my fourth year of doing these bio-musicals at the Plough with 96-year old proprietor Jim Buckley directing and writing the script. Previously, we have done Gershwin, Berlin and Harold Arlen. The cast has remained basically the same and the shows are very entertaining as well as informative. For reservations call the Pewter Plough at 805-927-3877. Performances are friday and saturday evenings and sunday afternoons.

 

Music remains the main focus in my life and I am currently enjoying various endeavors. The Seamus Conroy Band continues to explore the world of Irish Ballads, Reels & Jigs. We wiill be recording a live in concert performance at Painted Sky studio in Cambria on Nov. 9th with a cd release sometime in 2009. I have finished a retrospective cd of songs I wrote between 1970 -99 called "Songtree." I am hoping it will be available berfore Christmas 2008. It is solo guitar and voice of 14 of my favorite original songs from that period (see info). My partnership with pianist Bruce Beck has expanded into a quartet with Tracey Morgan on drums and Billy Baxmeyer on bass. We play a bit of everything and have had great fun on our first few gigs together. We have yet to be named, so for the time being I am calling it the' Mystery Band."
