Derek Pritzl - Vol 17 - Pardon Me!

🎶 Hey there music lovers! 🎸 We've got some toe-tappin' news to share! 🎉 Guess who's gracing the Rhythm Cafe MKE stage once again? That's right, the one and only Derek Pritzl is back and ready to serenade us with his soulful tunes.
🎵 This time, Derek is bringing his heartfelt song "Pardon Me" to the spotlight. It's like a musical time machine that takes you on a journey through his love for music, which, trust us, goes way back! 🎶
🪕 Derek's inspiration for "Pardon Me" is a tale as old as the hills, rooted in the rhythms of Bluegrass legends like Ralph Stanley and Bill Monroe. Imagine this: the twang of strings, the ache in the lyrics—it's the kind of song that tugs at your heartstrings and gets your feet tappin' at the same time!
🛤️ And here's a fun twist: "Pardon Me" started off as a musical exercise, a little exploration into the Bluegrass world. But as Derek dove into the story behind the song, he found himself transported to a time when timber roads crisscrossed West Dallas, long before paved roads were even a thing.
📸 Imagine those old pictures from the days when folks relied on those timber roads to get around. Derek's imagination ran wild, conjuring up a character from 1912, navigating life's twists and turns, filled with regrets and nostalgia.
So mark your calendars, because you won't want to miss Derek Pritzl's soul-stirring performance of "Pardon Me" at Rhythm Cafe MKE. Join us as we embrace the magic of music and stories that span generations. 🎶✨
