The Hang Ups went on to release five splendid records, and over their career the line up grew and evolved.  This month an old friend returning to town has inspired the original trio to return to stage for the first time in two decades!

Korda’s own Jim Ruiz will also be appearing, as well as Mountain Singers, Stephanie Says, and guest of honor Reba Fritz.  Don’t miss it!
