I took some photos of "A Tad Wilder," that played some great music at our Community Picnic At St. Luke's - Everybody was saying how awesome they were. Maryann just loved Allen, the 14 year old who played the drums - because not only did he have a great voice "He had rhythm" she said. They were all good and our own St. Luke's Parishioner, Duane Becker is part of the group and played with them.
Folks that are interested can contact Duane or Tad for bookings. Contact information is:

I got a close up of Nick here, guess I was distracting him from performing just a bit

I asked "A Tad Wilder" Group if they would pose outside where I could get a better picture of them, which they did - Just an awesome group with a great personality. Shown left to right, Duane Becker, Allen, David, Tad, Nick & Jeffrey Wilder
