Come see the Grateful Dudes perform Friday, March 3, at 7 p.m. in the Community Room.    

Rodger Phillips and Scott Micale first met in the early 80's when they joined a band called Pacific Light Opry.

Barry Berkowitz was the originator and was a bit put off when the band was billed at the Banjo Cafe in Santa Monica as the PLO. Barry quickly changed the name of the band to High Strung.
Over the years, there were many band members who came and went, but most remained good friends.  In the late 80's, Rodger and Scott started playing at Vincenzo's Pizzeria in Newhall, California as the Grateful Dudes with Ron Sutton on dobro, Tom Corbett on mandolin, and Rob Carlson on bass.             

Around 1993, Ron and Tom left the band and fiddler player, Dennis Fetchet, joined. Though journeys separated them for over 25 years, they have recently gotten back together, wandering through a maze of folk songs and a variety pack of vintage Rock N Roll mutations to feature an even  broader variety of music. They are very grateful to be playing again for all of you.!
