We had our first concert last night and it was a great success! There were about 70 people who showed up for the concert, a great start for a first concert on a first series of its kind in Grand Rapids.
So great to have a tight jazz group performing in a concert venue in Grand Rapids! The biggest comment I received was that folks couldn't believe that the four guys in the band are in the Grand Rapids area. Who knew we had such amazing jazz musicians in West Michigan? Steve Talaga told me that it is a treat for Mind's Eye to play together. They have a whole book of original tunes, each by different members in the band and when they play together (which Steve Talaga told me unfortunately doesn't happen enough) it is very special.
Paul Petersen brought a nice group of folks down from Muskegon to see his photographs; that helped boost our crowd as well.
Thanks to the MAJIC task force members, and all of the Bethlehem folks who made for a nice reception at our first concert!
