Sweet Dirt is delighted to be able to give back to their community by performing at RBCC and are extremely excited to bring their passionate classic rock sound to the Center. The four piece band released an album of their own, "To The Moon," earlier this year. Their blues and folk influenced
music is sure to delight the crowd.

Ardor Glowing started as a duo and has recently added new members. The CD that they are releasing is comprised of music made by the duo, which they will perform that night in addition to songs by the full band. The band, whose members range in age from their early 30s to their 60s, is excited to present their fresh and relevant sound. "This band is about life and passion and people and creativity. It's about working together to create
something great through an approach that makes what we do together so much more than we could ever do on our own. Getting to do this at RBCC with people from the community that have always been about the same kind of ideals that we have is an honor," said Joshua Grassle of Ardor Glowing.
