Actually, we played in a tent right next to the beer tent at the Paul Bunyan Days festival in Oscoda at Furtaw Field in Oscoda, MI on Saturday September 16th from 6PM-10PM, but one side of the tent was opened up into the open side of the beer tent. And Happy Birthday Lex Kuhne!Ĥ96 9/16/23 Paul Bunyan Days Festival - Furtaw Field, Oscoda, MIįree Beer played the Beer Tent at the Paul Bunyan Days festival in Oscoda at Furtaw Field, 4986 N State St in Oscoda, MI on Saturday September 16th from 6PM-10PM.

She didn't win because our Keyboard Player pushed her candidacy so hard. The shiny 'sexy mermaid' clearly had the best costume. Free Beer toughed it out in the middle of a touch of the flu for a couple of the members to hustle our way thorugh another Halloween set. HERE IS A LIST OF EVERY GIG WE HAVE EVER PLAYEDĤ97 10/27/23 Hall-O-Ween - Northville Eaglesįree Beer returns for our annual Eagles Hall Halloween party. We have not and will not outline exactly what those are. Click HERE to find out more about the many versions of Free Beer!!!įree Beer officially retired on January 27th 2017, but we will occasionally play out if a certain set of conditions and criteria are met. We are on drummer #6 and bass player #5, but otherwise Kurt, Jim and Scott remain as 'original equipment'. There have been a number of incarnations of the band. So we started practicing in Kevin's basement in Royal Oak until we had our first gig. We all got up and didn't completely suck. This idea was cemented at Jim's Bachelor party where he had set up instruments so anyone could jam. Sure enough, we were not a bowling team, we were a band. We all turned to Paul, the IT master at 89X. Jim says 'I play Guitar', Scott says 'I played Keyboards in a band in High School', Kevin Yonker (Drummer #1) announced 'I Play The Drums'.

There was Karaoke at the bar and we noticed that Kurt was a pretty good singer. So one night after bowling the 5 members of the team gathered as we usually did and sat at the bowling alley bar bemoaning the fact we had just wasted another 12 bucks a piece.

Free Beer began from the ashes of the 89X bowling Team.
