Here is a look back at a cover of The Sign of Fire by the Fixx that we did back in April 2013:

Today is the five year anniversary of our last concert. Hosting the E.G.O. fund raiser at the Plymouth Arts Council was a lot of fun and a very significant event in D’Art Band history. While it is always difficult to guess what the future might bring, looking back we certainly played some great music and had a good run. I am extremely grateful to my bandmates for all you do and the good times that we shared–you are truly my brothers and sisters in music. And to all supported us through the years: thanks for being there for us and with us. You are the best!

While we don’t have any direct announcements to make there are a couple of D’Art related events for the month of November that you may be interested in:

• Waldon Reed, Jr. will be performing with his Steely Dan tribute band Major Dudes on Saturday November 11th 9PM at O’Malley’s, 15231 Farmington Road, Livonia, MI (click here for more info).
• Erica’s Global Outreach will be holding a fundraiser at Noodles & Company in Novi on Saturday November 25th 4PM to 9PM at 26425 Novi Rd., Novi MI 48375. Use the flyer below and Noodles & Company will donate 50% of sale to Erica’s Global Outreach.

Hope to see you at both of the great events!!!

Thanks to everyone who made it out to the concert last Saturday and to those who were only able to join us in spirit. Erica’s Global Outreach was successful in raising a significant amount of the money needed to build the roof for the school in Ghana. If you haven’t made a donation and would still like to here are a couple of options: a limited number of tee shirts are still available (size large and extra large). Just send an email to info@dartband.com if you would like to order one. You may also make a donation directly to Erica’s Global Outreach at their web site. Just go to the EGO donation page at the link here.

Finally, a big thanks again, to Ami, Connie, Nishat and all of the volunteers at Erica’s Global Outreach who made the food, served refreshments and otherwise worked very hard to make the evening great. It was a joy working with you!

Join us for good tunes, good friends and especially to support a good cause! The concert is tomorrow, Saturday July 16th, at 7PM at the Plymouth Community Arts Council Joanne Winkleman Hulce Center For the Arts 774 N. Sheldon Road, Plymouth MI.

Help support Erica’s Global Outreach with the purchase of this limited edition concert tee shirt for $15. All net proceeds will be donated to Erica’s Global Outreach. Contact D’Art Band via email to place an order while supplies last. Go to this link for tee shirt size information.

You may be wondering what has become of D’Art Band. Fear not – the group is alive and well! In the midst of a variety of dramatic changes for many of us, we continue to meet and make music regularly.

We will be back eventually, and returning in excellent form! Though we haven’t been performing, we continue to grow and learn as individuals and as a group.

Thank you for looking in!

One week to go and we want to see YOU there!!! Hope you can make it. Go to Facebook and let us know if you can.
