ELDERLY BROS!
HRRC's own Phil Clark and renowned guitarist Joe Fluken will appear in a sold-out show at noon. Tour manager Sue Bramley, Inc. - a division of Low Bid Enterprises - has managed to carve some time out of their jam-packed travel calendar for a quick visit to Rotary. Clark, a regular in the noted local band Bernie & the Boomers, has partnered up with Fluken, a Sunday morning favorite at Jane Kucharski's church. Being Rotary's social chairman extraordinaire, Jane always has her finger on the hottest tickets in town! Check back here for tour announcements, concert schedules, locations & venues for the fabulous ELDERLY BROTHERS! See ya Thursday!
