Meet the Songtenders! These c ollaborators and longtime friends are on a mission to serve up great music . Don’t we all get crushes on songs? Great songs never die but they sure c ould get played more! The Songtenders do just that–they echo songs from th e past with sweet harmony and hearty respect. Singer Melanie Reid and pian o player Evelyn Idzerda started The Songtenders after an epic late-night j am. The music that resulted made them realize their chemistry is perfectly aligned for giving service to songs they love. Later\, to even better ser ve those songs\, they were joined by Luke Painter on electric guitar\, Bar bara Barry-Doyle on stand up bass\, and George Beekman on percussion. It’s always a treat when the Songtenders serve up their fun musical nostalgia!
