AJ's Grill in Dorr presents Sunday Live Music
Rick Doogie & Tom Northrup debut showcase
May 1 - AJ's in Dorr, 5pm to 8pm 
After 6 years of doing solo Sunday dinner music at Hilliards Corners,
Guitar man Rick Doogie & piano man Tom Northrup are moving to Dorr.
Yes, Hilliards is shut down, with no word on future plans.
Amanda Gills, owner of AJ's, is picking up the torch.
Please come out and support this debut at AJ's.
On May 1, Rick and Tom will each play a solo set,
then they join forces for last set, with piano and guitar.
They have alternated Sundays for the past six years,
but never actually got together to play as a duo.
Rick and Tom will do alternating Solo Sundays. 5pm to 8pm.
Rick's first Sunday is Mother's Day, May 8, and Tom's first Sunday is May 15.
AJ's back deck will be ready soon. They're waiting for a bar top and tables.
How's Tricks? Where's Tricks?
You know 2016 is Tricks' 40th Anniversary!
You would think that after 40 years, a little weekend bar band would settle into a rut
of the same ol', same ol'. That's not how we roll. We gotta keep working hard.
Working hard to build our repertoire of tunes. Working hard to keep our playing tight.
Working hard to find different venues and party places to play.
One thing we would like to see is more private parties.
Reply to this e-mail to get the facts on having your own little Tricks party.
For birthday, anniversary, etc. In your barn, backyard, anywhere you choose.
We can do Tricks Lite parties for as low as $350 for 3 hours.
Some restrictions apply.
Yes, But what about ...?
Many of our friends are concerned because Jake's and Hilliards closed their
doors in the past few weeks. Don't worry, they will open again.
Not sure if they'll have live music. But there are always new places to play.
It not unusual for bands to continuously search for venues to play.
With that said, I bring you (drum roll, Steve) ...
All 59 venues from the entire Tricks 40 year history.
