Dennis Stroughmatt - Family & Friends Concert
Sunday November 24 at 3 PM
@ Penn Station in Arthur Illinois
Message from Dennis ...
I have one more "band" performance for this year that we are adding. We've decided to have some fun, and having my family along to play will be a bonus. Thanks to Donald Caldwell, Dave Gore, Keeping It Country Live, and Konnie Crist we will be dropping in to play a few hours of Country, Cajun, Swamp Pop, and maybe even a little Zydeco in Arthur IL. We might throw in a Christmas song or two as well. maybe....if everything goes right in the next week, we will have a new EP CD to release with a mix of music featuring some of the West Coast Country we've been performing, along with a little Cajun, Zydeco, and a couple classic Country songs I'm sure you will enjoy.
We (my family and I, Douglas Hawf, Greg Bigler, and Virgil Franklin) are doing this to have some fun, and we hope some of you will attend.
