Thank you to the folks that came out for the final Friends of Joe concert A great big hug thanks to Ken West, Joe Gavin, Bill Peed, Joey Prine, Robert Phillips, Bryan Rivers, Pete Burnett, Dave Stimson and Billy Needs a Beard, the fine musicians who made this a memorable evening.
Friends of Joe was organized in 2005 to continue the legacy of the late Joe Prine and his commitment to music. They presented over 80 international and nationally known performing songwriters along with outstanding local musicians in a family friendly listening room setting. This may be the end of an era, but not the need to keep music LIVE. Without music what would our life be?
