Greetings Everyone!
Ben Steel will return to the Wildwood Friendly Tavern this coming Saturday, the 11th, from 8 pm to 11 pm. As always, this venue offers good food, affordable prices, warm hospitality and a red-hot music scene! The Wildwood is located at 46721 Hayes Rd., just south of 21 Mile Rd. in Macomb. We hope you have the opportunity to join us for a set or two! http://www.joebologna.com/
Please note: Due to a travel conflict, our monthly engagement at Marge’s Bar will take place on Sunday, February 26th from 6 pm – 9 pm. Look for us to be back on our regular 3rd Sunday of the month schedule on Sunday, March 18th. Marge’s Bar is located at 15400 Mack Avenue, at the corner of Beaconsfield, in Grosse Pointe Park. For info, call 313.881.8895. (FYI: Marge’s was just voted “Best Place for a Burger” in Patch.com’s online poll)

Friday, March 16th: Our biggest event of the year! The Ramblers will perform from 8 pm to 10 pm at the annual Players Playhouse fundraiser.

Reservations are required! Tickets are $25.00 each in advance and $30.00 at the door, and include snacks, refreshments (yes, beer!) and a light dinner. (You may carry in your own wine or other preferred beverages if you’d like).

Saturday, March 17th: The Balduck Mountain Ramblers will be back at Nemo’s for the annual St. Patrick’s Day party at Nemo’s. Times are from 12 noon to 7:30 pm.
