Harvest Moon Dance Welcomes Autumn

(Charlevoix, MI)--A Harvest Moon Dance will be held at Dhaseleer’s Events
Barn, located at 15794 Paddock Road in Charlevoix on Friday, September 28,
beginning at 8 p.m. Local favorites the Horton Creek Band will open for the
award-winning band Switchback. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the
door and can be purchased at the Charlevoix Chamber of Commerce or by
calling 231-675-7768. BBQ food available for purchase during the event.

“We are looking forward to having an old time Harvest Moon Dance,” says
Brian FitzGerald of the band Switchback. “The moon will be nearly full on
September 28th, so we should be able to enjoy a beautiful evening both
outside and inside the barn. The Dhaseleer’s Events Barn has amazing charm
that is very conducive to a night of beautiful dance music. It’s a great
way to welcome in the Fall.”
Switchback will be featuring its trio that includes percussionist Nick
Hirka. Both Brian FitzGerald and Martin McCormack are no strangers to
northern Michigan, playing sold out concerts and benefits throughout the
region. They have been voted as the top performing act by the Irish Music
Association and have two concerts featured on PBS stations throughout the
US.

Carl Dhaseleer, owner of the events barn along with his wife Cornelia, is
excited about the evening’s line up. “We are pleased that Switchback is
able to join us for this dance. Most people have seen Switchback at our
Black Cat Concerts and are familiar with their music. It is always hard to
keep people from dancing to their music during their concerts, so we
decided to create a dance in our historic barn. Switchback can provide
rousing dance music, and those who have seen them at the Grass River
Benefit will know that this is an evening not to miss.”

Local heroes Horton Creek will open the evening for Switchback. A simple
country/bluegrass band formed out of Charlevoix County, Horton Creek began
as a one-gig get-together to fill a spot in a show and it went so well the
clan decided to give it a run. Horton Creek’s motto is “Our hopes are
high, the bass is low, and of course, the grass is blue.”
