Bob Hausler’s Songwriters in the Round podcast

Hi Everybody This is Bob Hausler for the Songwriters in the Round podcast. I have some exciting news, we are going to be presenting Dstreet’s Songwriters in the Round series at MI Elements grains and grounds in Midland. We like to send out a huge thank you to Garber Chevrolet of Midland for being our main sponsor. Be sure to stop in and thank them and let them know you appreciate their efforts to enhance the community by sponsoring the Songwriters in the Round. They are the reason we can offer these events free to the public.  

The show will be Sunday, April 24th from 2-4 pm at MI Elements grains and grounds 3124 Jefferson Ave, Midland, MI  We were very pleased to be invited in to use this wonderful space and we feel it will provide a great listening room for our audience and performers.  

Our featured songwriters this month will be Ann Arbor's Americana Queen Songstress Judy Banker and Loren Kranz. 

Judy is a terrific songwriter, performer, and community activist. She is constantly promoting and supporting other artists. You will love her as a singer/songwriter, but you love her more as a person. 

"Ann Arbor singer/songwriter, Judy Banker, writes songs rooted in vintage country style. Torch songs rife with intrepid melodic lines that twist and turn in delightful, unexpected ways, yet stay true to the genre. Her voice, tangy and bright as fall cider, brings to life articulate, arresting songs of lost love and the perfidy of human nature. Reminiscent of Loretta Lynn and Rose Maddox, Judy Banker's music remains contemporary, rich in everything the modern listener appreciates about old-time country music."  Maggie Ferguson, host of WXOU's The Old Front Porch Radio Show and Live! From the Living Room Acoustic Showcase 

Loren Kranz is one of the most in-demand musicians in the state. A founding member of the acclaimed group the Barbarossa Brothers. He is also a regular in Erin Zindle & The Ragbirds, The Mark Lavengood Band, The Straight Eights, and many more. Loren's roots as a drummer always give his songs a unique flavor. We are delighted to bring his talents to our audience. Loren spends much of his time working with youth to bring the joy of music to their lives.  

They will be joined by me, Bob Hausler, hosting and sharing some of my songs and stories.
