  6th Annual GRFAS Benefit Concert - Nobody's Darlin' and the Blue Water Ramblers
Saturday May 10

Blue Water RamblersNo body has treated the Blue Water Ramblers better than the Grand River Folk Arts Society and all you friends of traditional music. The Ramblers are proud to have this opportunity to say a great big “Thank you” and raise some $$$ for the society. They are making it an even more special occasion: This event is the 5th birthday of the Blue Water Ramblers. Every piece of cake you eat (after paying $2 for it, of course ;>) generates needed money to bring in next year’s artists.

         We are proud to share the stage with the prettiest, kick-butt string band in the region: Nobody's Darlin'Nobody’s Darlin’
will finally be somebodies’ - our - darlings. Join us all for hot jams and good fun supporting  the Grand River Folk Arts Society!   http://bluewaterramblers.com and http://www.nobodysdarlin.com/.
