7 Steps Up and Courtyard Concerts In Spring Lake Extend Giving in to Muskegon

When you're "not from around here" some of the traditional boundaries we see are really not all that apparent.  That's particularly important when it comes to helping out organizations like Mission for Area People and the United Way in Muskegon and more!

Meet Gary and Michelle Hanks who own 7 Steps Up in Spring Lake.

7 Steps Up is a totally remarkable concert going experience.  It's a small...intimate venue that holds a lot of history and a lot of acoustic perfection.

They are also behind Courtyard Concerts.  They are benefit events that help area agencies all over the lakeshore.  If you've ever been there for an event, you know these are good people running a great operation and they are doing it for the right reasons.  Passion for both great music, a great experience and to give back to the communities they draw from.

Michelle got a hold of me just to say hi.  I had done a couple things with them just before I left radio.  I guess we had lost touch....I don't think she knew about the blog :)  "Andy?  How do we get the word out in Muskegon about a benefit concert we're having with Ruth and Max Bloomquist?"   I thought about it for a minute and said "I know this guy who writes a blog....I'll send him"

The Ho Ho Ho Holiday show is this Sunday December 11th.  Ruth and Max Bloomquist are performing their holiday show and 100% of the proceeds go back to the agencies they serve!  It will be a fun show filled with Christmas favorites and some of Ruth and Max's staples.  That "guy with the blog" stopped in to see Gary and Michelle last night.  Take a listen to our chat below.

Great people doing great things....and as Michelle pointed out... they are on "our side of the bridge"  (funny).  If you're looking for a great way to add a little holiday cheer while you're doing a good turn for some pretty remarkable agencies... head down to Spring Lake and enjoy the show with Ruth and Max.  If you'd like to order tickets ahead of time or just a little more info.. click on the logo below!  I'd also like to add a note of thanks....after we got back from taping the interview I had a note from Michelle they loved the idea of the blog....and they wanted a sponsoring role.  So welcome to 7 Steps Up as Positively Muskegon's newest sponsor.
