The Sound of Sub-Strings

The first four recordings were made at a practice session; "Michigan Saturday Night" at the November 24th, 2007, Frankenmuth concert. The files are large. The download may take a while, even with high speed internet.

History of the Club

Gayle Koehler and Gloria & Herb Hansen started the club in 1992. The practices began in the Hansen's basement and from that came the name. The first performance was for a talent show at St. Mary's Medical Center. We weren't part of the talent, but instead played before the show started.

We're proud of our many years of the Snowfest Concerts, the Haithco Concerts, performances at the Lumbermen's Festival and countless other events. We love playing for "seniors," although most in our club fit in that category themselves.

Requesting the Group

We charge a very affordable fee, which is usually divided between the musicians to help defray travel expenses. We never know exactly how many musicians will perform, but we can give you an idea. If our large group (15-20 musicians) is too large, we do have smaller groups that are available independently. If you need a smaller performance, we can refer you to them.
