Uneven Ground at Tuesday in the Park
2018-07-24 19:00 - 20:30 | Central Park, Downtown Grand Haven, Grand Haven
A four-piece traditional Celtic band, Uneven Ground blends vocals with instrumentals to bring their listeners on a unique musical journey. Grounded in the roots of traditional Irish music, Uneven Ground presents a blend of songs molded from hundreds of pub tunes from around the Celtic region. By teaching the history of their music, mixed with their nonsensical humor, each performance offers the listener an escape from their busy lives. Figuratively named after the Irish slip jig ‘On the Rocky Road to Dublin,’ the group has become one of the most exciting traditional/folk Celtic bands to emerge on the scene today .

Woodchopper's Ball
2018-07-12 17:45 - 21:30 | Baker Lumber, 720 Pennoyer Avenue, Grand Haven, MI, 49417, United States
For the second year, two local institutions, D. Baker and Son Lumber Company and The Salvation Army of Grand Haven are teaming up for a big-band benefit dance to celebrate a successful fundraising capital campaign and to help raise funds for The Salvation Army’s on-going local efforts to help others in need.
On Thursday, July 12, D. Baker and Son Lumber Company, located at 720 Pennoyer Avenue, will serve as host to The Woodchopper’s Ball.

Last year the goal was to help raise $1.1 million for a capital campaign to expand the Salvation Army facility on North Despelder in Grand Haven. That total was realized in May. So, this year’s dance is both community celebration and a return to funding programming efforts, particularly for youth & children.
“We have met our goal,” stated Major Jay Davis. “And this is a way to both say ‘thank you’ to our supporters and to keep the ongoing needs in the community before the public. One of the reasons we hold this dance in July is because its six months out from our usual Christmas efforts and our work continues throughout the year.”
The July 12th evening will begin at 5:45 p.m. with an hour and a quarter of music provided by The Heritage Hill String Quartet, both traditional and contemporary string music, including music for easy-listening and dancing.
Big-band dancing will be from 7:00-9:30 p.m. and will feature the music of The Grand Rapids Jazz Orchestra under the direction of Bob Nixon. While the GRJO is a contemporary big band, for this event it will be playing from its dance book, to include tunes that are well known and long appreciated.
There is no charge for the event but donations are always appreciated. There will be light refreshments provided. Dancers are advised to have dinner before the event.
A dance at the D. Baker and Son lumberyard is more than appropriate and it all goes back musically to the late Doug Baker, both a lumberman and a professional sax player.
“Doug was a great talent,” said event co-organizer David Schock, who had plenty of opportunities to play with the elder Baker. “And he chose to play as a serious avocation and work in the family business. I think it was he who—in honor of the legendary Woody Herman tune ‘Woodchopper’s Ball’—dubbed his lumberyard the ‘Home of the Woodchopper.’ And now this event brings it all together again, maybe even as he intended.”
Nada Edson (née Baker) co-owns the lumberyard with her uncle, Bruce Baker. She is one of three fifth-generation descendants who now work at the lumberyard. “Gramps and Grama instilled a sense of community, goodwill, appreciation of music and all other arts that runs deep through our entire family,” she said. “We are proud to be Bakers and to be able to support the community and The Salvation Army by hosting The Woodchopper’s Ball. I think my grandparents, great-grandparents and great-great-grandparents would be happy with us!”
The lumberyard is no stranger to community events. There have been a series of “pop up” arts shows, Art at the Yard, to benefit not only art lovers and local artists but also the Grand Haven Schools Foundation.
The Salvation Army of Grand Haven will share an update for the upcoming addition to its physical plant. “We are so thankful for how the community has supported us during this campaign,” said Major Sally Davis. “Our hope is this building expansion will allow us to have the space to continue to provide current and new programs and services to this community like we have done in the past years.”
Along with D. Baker and Lumber Company, The Salvation Army of Grand Haven is grateful for D&W Fresh Market, Desserts by Design, and Christian Haven Independent and Assisted Living Center for their support in hosting this event. Underwriters for the music include Grand Haven Custom Molding, WestWind Construction, Linda and Stephen Vanos, Premier Lakeshore Title, The Village at the Pines, The Village at Rosy Mound, MacKite, Coldwell Banker Woodland Schmidt, and penULTIMATE, Ltd.
