Our bluegrass gospel group ‘Bluegrass Revival' has played churches, bluegrass festivals and county fairs throughout Michigan for 21 years. Saturday night, January 19th , we once again performed at The Great Northern Music Hall in Howard City. It was a festive evening with fun had by all, especially the band! The performance closed with a rousing sing along with everyone on their feet clapping along.Set in the sanctuary of an old historic church, The Great Northern Music Hall provides a great acoustic setting for performers and audiences alike. All acoustic bands like ours pose a challenge because of the extensive use of microphones but sound man Nate Beemer masterfully mixes the sound with nary a trace of feedback.

Proprietor Clint Gitchel opened The Great Northern Music Hall & The Gettin' Picky music store 2001. Since then ‘The Hall' has hosted luminaries from the world of bluegrass music as well as offering a showcase for homegrown talent as well. And the shows are not limited to bluegrass. In the coming weeks ‘The Hall' will host both Ragtime and Blues music performers.

Interested in a non-alcoholic, smoke free venue to enjoy the music you love? The Great Northern Music Hall is all that and more.
