A vision of community , friendship, and music

You may look at the pictures of our little band, River North, and simply see a group of smiling musicians, but its WAY more than music. You see, we’ve been friends a LONG time. Decades long. Music friends, church friends, artsy friends, and David and my late husband, Scott, were Electrical Engineering friends way before I had even met either of them. (so adding a little geeky to the artsy mix. ;)) These were the friends that walked me through that great loss of my husband in 2009 when I was 41 years old. These were the friends who were there for me as I was left with 4 little boys (10 and under) to raise alone as a widow. Along with a wider amazing supportive community, (Of which I am forever grateful) these were the friends who were by my side. These are the friends who played on a worship team together with me at our church. These are the friends who’ve hung out around a fire pit, talking about life and faith, and pretty much anything else. It’s been a special combination – friendship and music.

Lately, we’ve been thinking, “How can we bring that to others?” How can we bring “Friendship and Music” to a wider community? How can we offer music and a hearty, “Come and gather with us!”? So spawned the idea to collaborate with a local coffeeshop to offer music and an opportunity to gather. If Covid taught us anything – it’s that real in-person connection and gathering is SO important! And we’d simply love to share our joy….of friendship and music. And we truly hope that you have as much fun listening, as we do playing for you! For no other reason, but to enjoy music and connection.

So…. Thank you Phoenix Coffee Roasters, for hosting us yet again, and for anyone in the Atlanta/Duluth area, “Come and gather with us”….enjoy some music, coffee, dessert and life-giving connection. Bring a friend, or maybe make a new friend while you are there.”
