Proudly serving the Grosse Pointe communities and the greater Metro Detroit area.

I saw your performance at Del Web last evening and was tremendous. I have all the respect for each member of the band and their ability to play each and every instrument. I am a retired keyboard and thought Gary Polkow performance was fantastic. You all being from Chicago, I bet Gary cut his name from some like Polkowski or something close to that.
Keep up the great work!
Sincerely,
Steve Lazdowski
