Urban Monroes May Update-Redwood Runaway Tour


We had a wonderful time playing in California again. Tucked away among our shows through Oregon and California, was a stop in Crescent City where we had the honor of playing the reception for the union of two remarkable people, both of whom just happen to be attack pilots. U.S Army Captain Michelle is an Apache helicopter pilot, and U.S. Air Force Captain Aaron is an Air Force A-10 pilot. Who ever said the different branches of the military couldn't get along? The joint mission these two war veterans have embarked upon seems to be off to a magnificent start. The UM's wish Capt. & Capt. all the best! These are great people who have performed a great service and held an event that was great fun!
