My wife and I have moved to Florida 3 years ago from the UP, and miss hearing your music! We plan to return to the UP for a brief visit in late September for our 25th anniversary, and wonder if you are playing any gigs around that time…We will change our travel plans to involve any date in late September or early October…Would love to hear the band play again, and dance to the music….
