Bruce & Claudia

Bruce Dedrick and Claudia Lynn

“Unplugged at the Steak n Brew”
Following my Free Design years, I had the good fortune to work with a very talented singer, Claudia Lynn. We sang together for many years doing the Holiday Inn and other restaurant circuits, political rallies, local TV shots, some jingles, various corporate and private functions. We have also performed in Lake Placid, NYC clubs, and opened for the band Orleans of “Still The One” fame. “Clyde” can sing sweetly, as well as belt it out, and our voices blended nicely on the harmonies. This is the only time we had a live performance recorded, by a friend who came into a Steak and Brew one night with a tape machine.

CD 1 and 2 are the result of that recording. Just two voices, a guitar, some percussion instruments (including two kazoos), unadulterated, with all its flaws, (including table seating announcements in the background) but generally an entertaining listen. Included, are a lot of great songs, some well known and some obscure, from the folk era into the 80s. Plenty of love songs and fun up-tempo tunes from artists like the Beatles, Jim Croce, Paul Simon, Peter, Paul, & Mary, Gordon Lightfoot, CSN and more. CD 3 features a couple of incarnations of my band in subsequent years doing live performances of a variety of fun stuff. The last five tracks are some studio recordings of songs I liked, including a recent recording of Tom Paxton’s “Last Thing on My Mind.” You probably won’t be able to take this all in one sitting, but I hope you enjoy it.
