41 West

December 13, 2024- Marquette, Mi.- 41West prepared 29 Christmas tunes and played them with vigor even though it was a frosty 22, and dropping as the evening went on. Mayor Jessica Hanley joined us on stage and shared a few sentiments as Santa showed up on the scene. DDA event organizer Michael Bradford caught up with Santa and directed him to the giant switch to light the tree.

29 songs went off without a hitch other than it was so cold, “the Teens”, and Todd’s trombone iced shut, Eric’s wah wah pedal would not wah, Glenn’s trumpet kept giving him challenges, but somehow outdoorsman Luke Noordyk was able to jam on the bass and run sound with his roving tablet too!

41West sure enjoyed being with folks downtown Marquette at the Commons. 10year old VanAnder Noordyk sang his debut Christmas Time Is Here. Dan Lindholm played the drums, Eric Heidtman guitar, Glenn Bengry played trumpet, plus Nikki and Naomi sang beautifully. Our 34foot portable stage sure works well for making events be extra special. We would come to your next event. Text or call us at 9063613325. Mark Johnson took some photos and there were lots of smiles had by all.

Marquette, MI- 10am 12-13-24 – Silver Creek Church Pastor Kevin Taylor setup a service for veterans on a very chilly Friday morning.  41West lite, the family band version, gathered for 6 songs in the chapel and Kevin shared his thoughts on the Nativity and birth of Jesus 2,000 years ago.

It was good to see and spend some time with our local veterans.  They were smiling some and we saw a few toes tapping too.  God Bless our veterans and thank you for serving.

Naomi Noordyk-Piirala sang,  Tim Noordyk-Piirala was stage crew,  Luke Noordyk played bass,  Rita Noordyk took pictures, Todd Noordyk played piano, and Pastor Kevin Taylor sang harmonies and gave an upbeat message.

We’d be happy to come do a service, or an event for your group activity.  Text or call us at 906-361-3325
