When ten or more women are gathered together, there is sure to be talk about everything from politics to family to love to sisters to children to men to ….did we say love? In this entertaining evening, the gals from the popular program Wine, Women and Song, now entering its 9th year as a sold-out event at Kerrytown Concert House in Ann Arbor, take the stage at Flint’s Kearsley Park Pavilion to dish about everything under the sun. If there is a subject of interest to them, they can find a way to sing about it. You will laugh, you will cry, and you will definitely need to bring your hankies. They are joined by the amazing Jerry DePuit at the keyboard.
