Delilah DeWylde and the Lost Boys are coming to the Dogwood’s Black Box!
This group marches to the country shuffle of a bygone era; before country was on FM radio, before country artists had personal trainers, and most certainly, before country sounded like rock and roll with a fiddle!
Mixing self-penned songs with old country hits (and unknown gems) by such artists as Hank Williams, Webb Pierce, Ernest Tubb, and Buck Owens to name a few, Delilah and the Lost Boys come out on stage looking and sounding like a 45 year step back in time. Dressed to the nines in the tradition of pre-color television country singers and musicians, donning matching western suits and playing the finest vintage musical instruments in the finest old school way.
The leader of the band, of course, is Delilah, playing upright bass and
singing lead. A veteran of the West Michigan music scene for over 15 years and an alumnus of rockabilly institution DangerVille, is also a holder of the secret of standing on the bass while she plays it. Don’t ask her how it’s done…..it’s a secret!
Lee Harvey is featured on lead guitar, on drums is D.J. McCoy, Drew Howard is behind the steel and some vocals, and Mark Schrock is featured on fiddle and vocals.
You just can’t get music like this on radio or television anymore….besides, there are plenty of New Country acts out there! Come on out and join us on Friday, November 19!
Tickets $12. Black Box. 7:30 p.m.
The Dogwood Center Box Office is open Monday – Friday, 9:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. and one hour prior to an event. For information, phone 231.924.8885.

December 17 – Three Men and a Tenor – "The Ha-Ha Holidays Show" – 7:30 p.m.
Three Men and a Tenor will bring a hilarious, holiday themed show called “The Ha-Ha Holidays Show” to the Dogwood Center! It is a full-blown music
concert with a unique twist…the group performs a full show without using any instruments!
The performance will be high-energy and have hilarious vocal antics and soothing harmonies as Three Men and a Tenor performs music you will recognize and some of their original arrangements.
Three Men and a Tenor formed in 1992 at Michigan State University by Paul Felch, Chuck Colby, Mark Stiles (all of whom are well over 6 feet tall) and Glenn Williams (a 5 foot tenor). Three Men and a Tenor produced its own nationally-televised PBS special, airing in markets including Los
Angeles, Miami, Nashville, Las Vegas, Philadelphia and Seattle. The group also has been on WGN-TV, the WB Superstation in Chicago and has recorded four cd’s.
