We are the Bongard Family Singers, a large family who loves to sing and play together, featuring guitars, mandolins, violins, banjo, and a bass. Mom and twelve children travel to various nursing homes and sing to the residents each month. Also, we enjoy singing at various church functions.
We look forward to singing Christmas carols with all of you.

Northwood Brothers – Home-Grown Gospel Music
The Northwoods Brothers claim to have produced some of their best music around campfires in the northern forests of Newaygo County. These brothers really did grow up together, and they have been singing and playing gospel music together for more than 50 years. “We like nothing better than to get together for some pickin’ and singin’ in the woods,” Mark Bushen said, “but our fathers taught us that, if you’re going to play and sing, you should play and sing for the Lord, so that’s what we try to do. We want to use our music to lift up Jesus, to point people to Him.”

The Acoustics’ – Hammer Dulcimer Group – Traditional Christmas Carols
We are a group of folk and acoustic music lovers. Many of us met through attending the largest dulcimer festival, held in Evart, MI every July. We have become great friends through learning and playing together. Most of us have the hammered dulcimer as our primary instrument, but we do have a few other instruments represented as well. The hammered dulcimer’s unique voice lends itself beautifully to Christmas music.
We are grateful and excited to be a part of the Shack Sing-A-Long celebrating the birth of our savior, Jesus.
