Music Life
Besides playing music and doing live sound, I have been involved in several music and arts organizations to promote and share music around Michigan's Thumb and in the state.
The Bluewater Folk Society is a non-profit organization “Promoting Traditional & Acoustic Music in the Thumb of Michigan”. I was a founding member, board member and past president. In addition, I was a founding member of “Thumbfest”, a music festival in Lexington, Michigan and past director of the festival.
The Wheatland Music Organization is a non-profit organization founded in 1974 and started one of the first acoustic music festivals in Michigan; "Wheatland Music Festival", the grand daddy of them all. I have been going to it since 1982 and have only missed two years since. I have volunteered many years, been a member, volunteer, major supporter and have done sound there for over 10 years.
Sanilac Consortium for the Arts supports the development of skills and talents in the performing and fine arts and helps provide opportunities to display those talents in Sanilac County. We are a tax exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation headquartered in Port Sanilac since 1987.
