6/30- May Erlewine/Seth Bernard Two-For-One Blowout Bonanza!

It’s that time again!
That special time that comes around every so often in a town’s life when Michigan Folk favorites Seth Bernard and May Erlewine roll into town with their gaggle of friends and fellow musicians. The recipe’s perfect: incredibly talented musicians, song writing skills to embarrass your 8th grade English teacher, a whole evening’s worth of story-telling, and maybe even some good ol’ fashioned camaraderie… what’s there to lose!

As always they’ll be featured with a smattering of their usual line up of friends- Joshua Davis on keyboards, Mike Shimmin on drums, and Ian Gorman on bass. You really would be doing yourself an injustice if you miss this one!

So come on down for a evening of musical delights and do your soul some good!
