About

Western N.Y. singer-songwriter, recording artist and music adventure guide Alan ‘ADub’ Whitney writes songs about guys who steal Cadillacs and have “rope burns on their fingers from holdin’ on too long.” ADub rocks his own rhythm and soul Americana music. Early on, he worked as a singer-songwriter in Los Angeles and Nashville. Developing his music in legendary venues like The Troubadour and The Palomino on bills with such luminary Americana artists as Alison Krauss, Jim Lauderdale, Lucinda Williams and Dave Alvin has provided him a deep life experience upon which to draw.  Notably, he was honored to perform a living room concert for Motown legend, ‘Smokey’ Robinson.  With some choice writing credits and several albums under his belt, now living in Buffalo N.Y., Alan Whitney is working on a new album in Nashville and performing live with his latest projects, ADub & Timmy P. Acoustic Healing Duo and Alan Whitney with The Healing Committee Band.

Western N.Y. singer-songwriter, guitarist, multi-instrumentalist Timmy P. Pitcher is a third generation dance band musician who grew up playing in his Dad’s bluegrass band, backing his country songwriting Uncle Rog and performing his own electric rock music. Timmy P.’s deep pocket rhythm playing and lightning fast bluegrass flat picking, has put him on festival stages with Red Headed Step Child, Sanduleak, Victor Wooten, David Grisman, Sam Bush, Andre Foxxe Williams, and Keller Williams.  Timmy P. is also the man who will slide under a Winnebago on a rainy Kentucky morning and beat the starter with vice grips until the band is once again moving forward.
