Day full of surprises

Jann Klose and Gary Hoey met at a Candlelight Concert on March 23, the night before. They hit it off so well, Gary invited Jann to join him on stage at the Stone Pony. Throughout their set they would play one of Jann’s songs, then one of Gary’s songs. While one was lead, the other would back up on vocals and guitar. The set was amazing.
