New Ref has a gig Saturday, February 6.

But we cannot invite you.

It’s a private affair, and we’re glad to be there celebrating a significant corporate event.

It’s in Ann Arbor, and the cast of New Ref characters include:

Mark Sluiter, West Olive, trumpet

Keith DeWitt, Flushing, trombone

John Simpson, Lansing, clarinet/saxophone

Gary Stutsman, Charlevoix, tuba

Dave Kadwell, Grand Rapids, banjo/guitar

Rick Bryant, Millington, Drums

David Oppermann, Saginaw, piano/leader.

Bob Barcalow, Saginaw, sound tech/road manager

We’re bragging about this to remind you that we enjoy opportunities to perform in front of ‘by invitation only’ audiences.

Be sure to join us February 9th in Big Rapids (Cranker’s Restaurant) and February 26th (Saginaw on Stage)
