The band has performed at Farmfest, Buckley Old Engine Show & many festivals, jamborees, square dances, street music, parties & more. Straight Forward Bluegrass has released two CDs.
George & Bob are a duo who just want to play music, any kind of music. George plays numerous instruments, too numerous to list, and is a master of most. Bob would sing and play guitar all day if he could. They perform together and separately at charity events, community centers, jamborees, parties, and any music jam they can find.
Pine River Parish Chime Choir, an 11 member choir who practice at LeRoy United Methodist Church, performs whenever and travels to wherever they’re needed. From Veteran Celebrations, to benefit and charity events, and Christmas and holiday concerts. The Chime Choir is ever ready to serve and bless.

Known collectively as “The Old Settlers of Isabella, Mecosta and Montcalm counties”, they were pioneers who created a foundation for future generations.
