2021 Gigs

At the Marketplace Barn in Amana for the Chautauqua, September 2020

2020 was a tough year for us as a band as well as all our music fans, doing the things we all needed to do during this Coronavirus pandemic. Most of our gigs were canceled, and rightly so. But we did manage to play a couple socially-distanced shows.

This year things are opening up a bit. We all have our shots and we are able to practice again. It sure feels GOOD! AND we can perform again!!!

Here is our schedule
