Scheduled Entertainers - "Together Again"

The band "Together Again" is composed of keyboardist Marti Bonne, bassist Jim Seidel and drummer John Briggs.  When they were in high school, Marti, Jim and John played together in many ensembles, and Marti and Jim also went to the Berklee School of Music in Boston.  In 2009, after more than 30 years apart, they reconnected on Facebook, and just like the "Blues Brothers," they decided to get the band back together!  You'll have a great time listening to them playing smooth jazz, fusion, Latin and pop.

NOW WITH A TWIST - "Together Again" will be offering a chance for you to "sing with the band".  They will be bringing song books containing nearly 200 tunes from which people can choose in order to come up and sing with the band.  The song list appeals to families, Baby Boomers and theater-type people (some examples: New York-New York, That's Amore, Fly Me to the Moon, Piano Man, Moondance, etc.).
