DENNIS WITCHER AND THE BREW

DENNIS WITCHER is back with a great new band!!! Plus a special bonus tonight will feature special guest the amazing Gabe Witcher on Fiddle. Dennis Witcher, former leader of the iconic LA based Bluegrass band, The Witcher Brothers, is back to performing after a three year hiatus during the recent pandemic. For twenty-five years, The Witcher Brothers performed and toured across the western states playing most all of the major Bluegrass festivals (and many not so major festivals) and with Dennis at the helm singing lead vocals, playing mandolin,and writing, or co-writng (with Tony Recupido) many of the band’s most notable songs. After The Witcher Brothers disbanded, Dennis continued to perform with Tony Recupido as Witcher & Recupido. As a mult-instrumentalist he has also been a much sought after addition to many other local Bluegrass bands in the LA area. Now, he’s brought together an exciting new gaggle of LA’s finest young musicians to form his newest venture, DENNIS WITCHER & THE BREW.

Andy is not only a great singer and songwriter, he’s also one of the most sought-after guitar players on the LA Bluegrass scene today. He didn’t want Dennis to mention it, but he recently won first place at the Topanga Banjo & Fiddle Contest for advanced guitar.
