Adrian AMVETS Events – 2011 Thanksgiving Festivities at Post 1957
The Midwest Home Grown Band Rocks the AMVETS Lounge in Adrian, Michigan on Wednesday, November 23rd at 8:00 PM. Kick start your Thanksgiving Weekend with live entertainment including all your favorite Rock, Country and Americana Tunes along with some great original music mixed in. Be sure to bring your dancing shoes! Check out one of the Band’s original songs, “Sturgis Calls”, by clicking on the video below:
The Midwest Home Grown Band is a unique council of Michigan Troubadours prone to inserting melodic musical morsels into tasty jam sandwiches filled with prophetic prose and inciting full Americana true-isms. They are also known for their migratory trolling of the pubs and clubs throughout the Heartland.
Bartering their craft for alcohol, cigarettes, gasoline, and an occasional buck, they are a happy-go-lucky bunch that cares much more about playing their clever tunes to an enthusiastic audience than about monetary remuneration. It should be said however, that they are not opposed to joining in the hunt for the ever illusive “W.P.G.” (Well Paying Gig). With the release of the debut CD called Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Hippiness, the M.H.G.B. hope to expand their fan base and hope that you will join in on their musical antics and infinitive journey.
The band lineup is:
Eric Einhorn – Singer/Songwriter & Guitar
Amy Moore – Singer
Bill Sisk – Singer & Lead Guitar
Steve Meyer – Singer & Bass Guitar
Rob Brines – Singer & Drummer
Come down to the post Wednesday night for some great fun and entertainment.
The next day, the Post will be serving a Thanksgiving Day Feast at Noon for those would like to join us.
If you want to bring a dish to pass (not required), we usually need desserts or we welcome your special homemade dish. Also, the Detroit Lions are playing at 12:30 pm to entertain us during the Feast. The Lounge is not normally open on Thanksgiving but one of our spectacular bartenders, Helen, has volunteered to serve us that day. Thanks Helen! The food is usually out until 5 pm and the Post will be open ‘till 9pm. Tuesday’s special drink prices will also be offered as a thank you to our members.
Saturday is a big day too. November 26th is the 2011 Annual AMVETS/Eagles Chili Cook-off held at the Post from Noon to 3pm, sponsored by the Sons of the AMVETS. Let’s help keep the trophy at the Post. Trophies for the top three chili winners will be awarded. The Club with the top chili winner will keep the traveling trophy for the next year.
The U of M – Ohio State football game, as well as other games, will be on at the Post and at 8 pm, Jammin’ Jerry takes over with Karaoke until Midnight. Come celebrate Thanksgiving all weekend at Post 1957.
