Musicians & Entertainers at the 2006 Southwest Michigan Harvest Fest

Last year's Community Harvest Fest brought together a wide variety of some of southwest Michigan's most talented and entertaining musicians, as well as local farmers and the rest of our community, for a day of simple fellowship and celebration!

Andru Bemis

While Andru's travels and lifestyle earn him frequent comparisons to Carl Sandburg, John Steinbeck and Woody Guthrie, it's his unmistakeable voice, inventive self-taught banjo and guitar styles and exquisitely crafted tunes of travel, love and longing which have brought him rapid success and respect throughout the US and Canada.
