Band 101 About Town


You can catch Band 101 at a couple of upcoming events-- check it out!

Friday, July 27th-- Gail DeWitt and Linda Ruxton are playing their ukuleles at Whiting's Pierogi Fest! Sharpen your appetite for dumplings while listening to beautiful music. Their performance starts at 11:30 a.m., right before the official start of the festival.

Sunday, July 29th-- Members of Band 101 will be providing the music for the 12:30 p.m. service at Hyde Park United Methodist Church, 6348 Harrison Avenue in Hammond, Indiana. Darryl Dorton, Band 101 member and deacon of Hyde Park UMC, will be leading the congregation in song. Make a joyful noise and make your mom happy by parking your hind end in a church pew once in a while.

Sunday, August 5th-- Band 101 is returning to Deep River Park in Hobart, Indiana to play music during the Grinders vs. Shriners charity game! It's free to watch the game. Bring a blanket, stretch out under the trees and enjoy a thrilling afternoon of baseball played the old-fashioned way. All proceeds from snacks and sarsaparilla sold at the game will benefit the Shriners Children's Hospital.

And finally, an exciting announcement from our bass player Katy Garza-Province: she is starting her own food business! Packrat Salads are delicious, hearty, healthy vegan salads named after folks from right here in Northwest Indiana. I've had the pleasure of eating Katy's salads and they manage to be light, filling and delicious all at the same time. I don't know how she does it, but I'm glad she knows how. Keep checking the Facebook page for the official word-- it should be any day now.

More events coming this fall. Stay tuned, and we hope to see you around this summer!
