Heads Up Everyone! We are planning a band social to kick off another year of making music together and to thank everyone for the hard work they’ve put in this past year.
Save the date of August 4 when we’ll get together at The Chair Factory on Grove Street for an evening of fun and games and good food. We’re still working everything out so stay tuned for more information.
Blessings!
David
