My new found friend, John from Illinois, was really a nice guy, and we had a great time catching some, keeping some and releasing some crappie on Saturday. John said they'd be coming back.

In a recent interview, Natalie Bergman, who anchors the band with her older brother Elliott, noted the irony of headlining a winter festival with a more summer appropriate sound. Still, she insisted the two are fans of the chillier
He put together his first band in 1934 and was given a spot at Billy Rose’s new theater restaurant The Music Hall (Stockdale, 1995). Later that year, he auditioned for NBC’s Lets Dance, a popular three-hour radio program that aired weekly and featured popular dance music styles (“Benny Goodman”, 2011).
