Described as a "deeply twisted comedy that steals your heart – after breaking your ankles, punching you in the gut and puncturing your lungs," this show follows the story of Injun Bill and his sidekick, Froggy on their quest for vengeance in the old Wild West. The Ballad of Injun Bill is performed live by the actors during the show and is interwoven into the script as a way to transition from scene to scene.

We had the pleasure of setting music to Joseph Zettelmaier's gritty and poignant lyrics and we're excited to share them with you! We had SO much fun recording this! Dead Man's Shoes will be running through February 26th at the Williamston Theater. It will also be performed at Performance Network in downtown Ann Arbor from March 8th through April 8th.

Please make plans to see this gritty and poignant show (and say hello to Rochelle who will be stage managing this production at both theaters)!


The Ballad of Injun Bill is available for FREE download on our BandCamp page right now! Enjoy! :-)

In fact it'd be spot on.


The first song "On With The Show" is a favorite of mine. I love tunes that flow and set a mood, scene and story. This song sure does it for me. The first time I heard of The Potter's Field, it was a show put on by Rochelle alone (WinterFolk at the Charlevoix Public Library) and I knew I had to hear more. Shortly thereafter, I enjoyed this song at one of their concerts (Shorts in Bellaire). When I first heard John and Rochelle together my mind immediately began a search to express what I was feeling and hearing. After the show I told them their fit of song and music was like John was the heaven that held the voice of an angel, Rochelle. Hey, wait till you hear them and give it try. See if you can come up with something better. 



The stories they tell will grab hold of your music mind and take you to places and feelings that only good song writing can do.



John and Rochelle’s song writing is genius and sometimes very introspective. One Eyed Bird, Pleasureville, Ghosts, Antietam Creek, Home and Don't Look Down When You Go are songs full of thought and depth. The stories they tell will grab hold of your music mind and take you to places and feelings that only good song writing can do.



The harmonies that John and Rochelle gift us make it easy and interesting to listen to Pleasureville.



When you need a break from the emotional story telling  you can sit back and enjoy the simple joy of songs like Nothin' All Day, You know What I Like and Sweetest Waste of Time. The harmonies that John and Rochelle gift us make it easy and interesting to listen to Pleasureville.  A good place to start all in all. It’s like a place you can look at the heavens at night and actually hear an angel or two sing and that's the music of Pleasureville. Thank you John and Rochelle.


Come check it out in our local music collection here at the library and I'd enjoy hearing your comments on “Pleasureville"  or any of the music that we have in our collection.
