Time: 8 p.m.

Music:
Thursday, June 25 at 8 p.m -  “Mustard’s Retreat”

Mustard's Retreat has been performing together for 35 years.  A typical show features David Tamulevich and Michael Hough singing their own songs, telling ‘tall tales’ and offering up a treasure or two from America’s vast traditional song library.
 

Thursday, July 16 at 8 p.m -  “Robin Lee Berry Jazz Quartet”

Northern Michigan's resident singer-songwriter Robin Lee Berry is an amazingly talented performer who shape-shifts from folk to jazz, from ballads to blues but the underlying constant in all her music is the conviction in her voice showing us again that her heart is right where it should be with her songs flowing right from the center.
 

Thursday, August 13 at 8 p.m -  “Song of the Lakes”

Song of the Lakes is a band that’s not afraid to show its emotions, as they belt out sea shanties, seduce you with a sultry Brazilian melody, or break your heart with a bittersweet ballad.
