Acoustic Café to host concert by Annie and Rod Capps Band on March 3
Annie and Rod Capps Band will be performing at the Acoustic Café on Friday, March 3, at The Howell Opera House. Doors open at 7 p.m. with the concert beginning at 7:30 p.m. The event is sponsored by the Livingston Arts Council.
On a musical journey that began in 1982, Annie and Rod Capps have earned sincere praise for their songwriting and musicianship, with two albums topping the Folk-DJ charts, multiple Detroit Music Award nominations, and as 2-time Kerrville New Folk Finalists (2012 & 2010).
Defining their “style” is not easy. It never ceases to be a moving target as they work continually to evolve with surprising new influences and inspirations, always striving for true musical and songwriting maturity. None-the-less, for more than 30 years they’ve been cultivating a symbiotic sound that reflects their deep and intuitive understanding of each other, delivering songs about broken things and poignant little ponderings with a rootsy vibe, a touch of twang and a soulful groove.
Open to the public, the cost is $8.00 at the door, $6.00 for Livingston Arts Council members.

Smith Elementary holding fundraiser for Leukemia/Lymphoma Society
For one week, March 3-9, Smith Elementary School in Fowlerville will participate in a collection for funds for the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society. The collection will take place online only.
On Friday, March 3, there will be three brief morning assemblies to kick off the event. The proposed times are 9:15am, 9:45am, and 10:15am. The way the prizes work is that the classroom that raises the most money will get the Hungry Howie’s pizza lunch, and when the school raises $1,300, the second place classroom will get a pizza lunch as well. But with the Flash 48 any classroom that raises $250 during that 48-hour online giving blitz will receive a pizza lunch as well.
So the potential of many classrooms getting a lunch is pretty high. The best part is that the kids with leukemia win! Email wedeskyp@fowlervilleschools.org for more information.
