Friday Music

Ruby James and saxophonist Stephen "Coopy" Cooper formed this Midwest phenomenon in Door County with a chance meet-up that somehow involved the Holiday Music Motel in Sturgeon Bay.  You know, that place born of the Steel Bridge Songfest where musicians come and stay for a long weekend to compose and record music. 

I’ve seen this group perform their brass-infused brand of soul and funk several times on the peninsula.  Sure, you may have to drive an hour (maybe) but they are worth the trip. You can read the entire story behind the story in this piece by Matt Mueller and published in OnMilwaukee about the same time as I became aware of the group.  And if you like their music like I do if I had to hazard a guess their 2019 tour dates will soon be showing-up on Face Book and the band's website here. 

In the meantime there is Forever My Dear by WIFEE and the HUZzBAND...
