We are excited to be returning to the Buttonwood Tree performing Arts Center in Middletown, on Friday Night, December 9 at 8pm. We have a wonderful line-up of songs, including many songs we have not performed before from song writers such as Stuff Smith, Karen Taylor, Mac Beattie, Trevor McKenzie, Jimmy Rogers, Tim Hardin and others.
