Connections Band Tribute to Dan Fogelberg
Northaven UMC, Dallas TX
www.northaven.org
11211 Preston Road
Dallas, TX 75230
Although one of our founding members calls this church home, believe it or not, Connections has yet to play at Northaven! This omission will be rectified on this night, as we bring our very first tribute show back to life again. We had a great time with our two new songs --"Tell Me To My Face," and "Phoenix"-- the last time we played this show. And we'll add classics like "Leader of the Band," and "Same Old Lange Syne" to the mix, along with other classic and obscure Fogelberg cuts.
This show constantly gets rave reviews from those who see it. You won't want to miss it. As always, the show will be free, but an offering will be taken for "Nothing But Nets."
