SONG o’ DECEMBER / JANUARY

I hope everyone has a great holiday season! We’ll be celebrating a much-anticipated Christmas in Grand Rapids, and we’re looking forward to ringing in the brand new year. I hope you enjoy the bluegrass version of “Auld Lang Syne” featured here.

If you like the blues, try a rockin’ Texas-shuffle version or, if you want to see a one-man band, CHECK THEM OUT
