Synopsis: This zany comedy takes you to the heart of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula where the Soady family gathers for their annual deer hunting tradition. But this year, things take a hilariously bizarre turn when thirty-five year old Reuben Soady, still an unsuccessful hunter, believes he’s cursed! In a hunting story to beat all hunting stories, Escanaba in da Moonlight spins a hilarious tale of humor, horror, and heart as Reuben goes to any and all lengths to remove himself from the wrong end of the family record book.

COME ON OVER!

This is the way country music started out, with acoustic instruments, before electricity. People sat out on the lawn, on the porch, or in a friend’s house and played their instruments together.

Enjoy the originality of music which is still present in many circles of friends.
