House Band pays respects to band's founder with a tribute concert
The All-Star members of the House Band are paying their respects to the band's founder today with a tribute concert today in Ludington Park. Kevin Chown passed away this month after a lengthy illness. He started the House Band to be the house band at the House of Ludington. Wednesday nights became a regular gig, with the band playing 121 straight Wednesdays until the House of Ludington burned in December. Dave Potvin, who drummed with Chown in the House Band, says it was a blessing to be able to play with him.

RADIO SHOW: Friday
Kevin Chown has been a part of my radio program for six years. Each week he would come in to talk about music, life and his vision for Escanaba. Cancer took his life this week at the age of 56. He seamlessly transitioned between the world and national stage as a musician and his hometown. Today, his sister Amy, Marvin Szukalowski, Joe Hellberg, Mark Woerpel and Pete Ammel reflect on the life and music of Kevin Chown.
