Dancing, Singing and some Uke's Misbehavin'

1st Set (2:00pm) - AN & BEN

Both accomplished musicians in their own right, when Andrea and Ben Lubberts make music together, their sum becomes more than the parts put together. It was music that first created sparks of romance between this now-married duo, which is readily apparent upon hearing the earnest songwriting, delicate melodies and interwoven harmonies they share.
