Career

1960s

In the 1960s, Veitch gained fame as a part of popular folk and rock group, 3's a Crowd. Veitch, who was singer Donna Warner's guitarist and accompanist, joined with Brent Titcomb to become the Bill Schwartz Quartet (a promotional name for only three musicians).[2] Later, the Bill Schwartz Quartet recruited more members, including Ken Koblun, David Wiffen, and Richard Patterson, and changed its name to 3's a Crowd.[3] 3's a Crowd is credited for helping expand the role of jazz and eastern music in the folk rock genre. The band broke up in 1968; Veitch's reasons were to pursue other projects.

Veitch befriended Tom Rush in the 1970s and contributed his talent to several of Rush's albums.

  • In Rush's self-titled album, released in 1970, Veitch played the guitar, mandolin, and mandocello.

  • In the album Merrimack County, Veitch once again contributed his skills on the guitar, mandolin, and background vocals. He again shares songwriting credits on the tracks "Kids These Days" and "Merrimack County II" with Rush.

1980s

In 1981, Veitch and fellow producer Greg Mathieson produced singer Toni Basil's giant hit, "Mickey" and her LP, Word of Mouth.[4] He also produced Patty Brard's "Red Light" in 1986.[5]
