BOB BLOENK

He is noted for his performances of literally hundreds of songs, many of which he actually finishes in performance. A skilled magician, he has performed all around the country. The focus on Bob for our concert is on his wonderfully expressive voice which will be used to flesh out the character of some of our most intimate depression era songs.

KURT MILLER
is one of the Great Lakes Bay Region's most accomplished and popular actors and is about to celebrate his 40th anniversary as an actor. Appearances at Orchestra Hall in Detroit and as a singer at an international NCAA track meet are the spice of a career that has led to many leads in musicals and plays throughout Michigan. He has performed characters as diverse as Thomas Moore, Oscan Madison, Mozart, Nicely-Nicely Johnson and even Boyd Gilbert in "The Big Bang." Kurt describes himself as a born again skeptic, and lost only a little of his smart aleck personality since first tyring it out on Tommy Landry in Miss Joyce's kindergartn classroom in 1957 where it earned him three stitches.
