Earlier this year, the Santa Cruz River Band traveled to Washington, D. C. for a performance at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. It surely was a special event for these three talented musicians, who are on the road some 250 days a year across the United States and Europe.

Gilbert Brown, Michael J. Ronstadt (younger brother to Linda), and Ted RamÃrez make up the Santa Cruz River Band, from Tucson, Arizona. Performing in English, Spanish, and Native American languages, they present a powerful musical program filled with the history and mystical lore of the Great American Southwest. Their music is authentic and original, rooted in music styles of the U.S. and Mexico.

And now they're about to share their rare brand of music with Yellowstone Place residents who regularly attend the Center of the Nation Concert Association performances in Belle Fourche. This trio is the next act on the concert bill this season, and they'll appear on Thursday, February 7, 2008 at the Belle Fourche Area Community Center beginning at 7:30 p.m.
