A CHANGE IN THE RECIPE

The Recipe
After over a decade of touring across the country, The Recipe's most recent ensemble has made the decision to part ways. Original members Tom Whelan (percussionist), and Gregg Lowley (drummer), as well as long-time bassist Mike Vitale and tour manager Jeff Shirley, will be performing their last show with the band on New Years Eve at The Purple Fiddle in Thomas, WV.

Though the decision was not an easy one to make, the time has come to change course. The parting group is thankful to have been blessed with the opportunity to make music together for so many amazing years, and is so very grateful for the eternal support given by the one and only Porch family. Please keep an eye out for future projects from these members.

Joe Prichard and Uncle Ed Mahonen will continue to tour as The Recipe in support of Jubilee, the band's most recent release.

We're going to miss you Greg & Tom. Looking forward to seeing what Joe has up his sleeve next.

Hey Tom, it was fun to party with you each time you came to town. Good Luck with your next endeavor. Peace, Jason in Florida.

I want to start off by saying I love these guys. They are soooo much fun to see live. However, I never really thought they had the same power as they did with Julie on lead vocals. The first time I saw them was at the Spring Fling a long time ago when they still had the cute fiddle player and banjo guy. They covered the theme from Fraggle Rock!!!!!!!!! I was hooked!!!!!!

dont worry fans of the recipe. although tom, gregg & mactally were the driving force behind the P for many many years, (and fantastic musicians and humans in general) i know what they have up their sleeves for the next lineup, and you wont be dissapointed. take a look at the schedule for 2007.

Wow, this is really, really sad for me. I want to thank the Recipe for so, so, so many wonderful memories. Greg and Tom, I love you and hope to see you on the run. Guess this means I have to change my screen name!
Love,
Adrianne
P.S. Is it really right the The Recipe name to still be used, really?

Guys - Surprise, Surprise. The Recipe changes the line up again....this is news? The Recipe has not been able to hold a line up for any extended period time since their inception in 1993 or so.

I will always love this band. Greg, Tommmy, Jeff and Mike you will always be friends, thanks so much for the music through the years. Can't wait to see you one last time for NYE at the Purple Fiddle. You guys have been the sound track to my life for the last 10 years.

Thanks so much.

The first time I saw these guys, I thought they moved me. The next time it was a new line-up, not as powerful. I think you can only go through so many changes before you lay the girl to rest. The original singer was the best & they never did replace her voice.
Porch People Rule!!!

What? I just saw Jeff in Ashvegas, I thought Tom and Greg were leaving but everybody else was good? Being a Recipe fan you kind of get used to a rotating crew, but we are loosing staples that have been added to and detratcted from with no worries. Hope you can mannage to hold it together, but not sure it will be the same. Not seeing Jeff at the table will be really wierd. Can you try and get a lookalike! LOVE YAL!!

John Welton and Joe Prichard have merged and it is a very good sound, some of the best I have heard so far from either artist. Don't miss the new Recipe!
