Luttrell Performing Arts Series

The Fat Cats Are Coming.....
 
On Friday, May 14 at 7:30 pm, the Francis Luttrell Fine Arts Series will present their final concert of the program year. 

The Fat Cats are a local group who play music they love from a variety of styles and have a great time doing it! 

 

Doug Cassens, saxophonist, has a long history in the music business.  He recently created his third CD: “Angels Among Us,” with Grammy-nominee Kirk Whalum.   He can routinely be heard in the Detroit area’s best nightclubs.  He is always creating a truly enjoyable atmosphere for everyone.

Dan Valeen, guitarist, has opened for several national acts including Carole King, the Oak Ridge Boys, Neil Young and numerous others.  He also produced his own CD and has toured with comedian Mike Ridley for years. Quite the comedian himself, Dan’s tremendous ability and talent keep audiences tuned in all night long.
 
Dave Jensen, bassist, trombonist and trumpeter, has appeared with Natalie Cole, Ray Charles, the Temptations, and many other national artists.  He is a veteran teacher in the Royal Oak Schools and a long-standing member of the Jazz Faculty at Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp.  Also active in the studio, he works as a performer, composer, arranger and maintains many private students ranging from beginners to adult professionals.
 
With such a talented, diverse group, you can be certain there will be “something for you” at this concert.   Please join us on the 14th of May for a wonderful, musical evening with an “after glow” opportunity.  Meet the Fat Cats and enjoy a delicious  table prepared by Randy Jarman.

Tickets are available after worship services in KFH or by calling the church at 248-541-0108.
 

On Friday, February 12th, FPCRO and the Luttrell Performing Arts Series were proud to host noted Jazz Musician Alex Graham and his Trio. The Kirkman Fellowship Hall was transformed into a swinging jazz night club for the evening performance, with a delicious hors d'oeuvres and dessert buffet also being served. A fantastic time was had by all.
 

Alex Graham was featured on the Fox 2 News Saturday morning show on February 6th.  Watch the clip from Fox 2 by clicking on the link below:
