Come on Down, It’s Always a Party With Marty!!

Cowgirl Pearl Breitbach is a bassist/vocalist/songwriter and a musical veteran who has raised an entire generation of gifted musicians and songwriters. Scott Kerry Guthrie is a songwriter/vocalist/guitarist who has spearheaded many projects around the country over the years. Together, they are “Medicinal Purposes” and their music is original (even the covers) and fresh. They bring a new raw energy to their performances. They very often share the stage with their opening acts and fellow musicians from the audience, which leads us to…Big Medicine.

They are the core of the evolving musical project “Big Medicine”, an evolving and revolving group effort that carries as many members as necessary to have the most fun and to promote the love of music. “Helping everyone sound as good as we know they can” is pretty much the group motto. Oh, and “Music Heals”.
