Details:
This CD is the result of encore performances on August 12 and 13, 2005 at CZAR'S 505, 505 Pleasant Street, St. Joseph, Michigan.

In August 2004, the group performed to a packed house at CZAR'S 505 and later donated $1,000 to the John E.N. Howard Band Shell Rehabilitation Fund. The event was so successful the group was invited to return in 2005 for a two-night engagement.

The groupâs original members, Terry Brady (bass/vocals), Greg Horn (guitar/vocals), Fred Li (sax/guitar), Jeff Petrosky (sax), and Scott Schalon (drums/vocals), grew up in St. Joseph and performed together in an assortment of bands throughout their high school years. Jim Robb (keyboards) is married to a SJHS â74 graduate. The group is joined by local musicians Tom Gillespie (guitar), Charles Hartzell (percussion), Tim King (saxophone), Dave Maki (keyboards), and Kay Stickney-Dine (vocals).

The band established itself in Ann Arbor in 1973, playing its own original compositions and covers by Tower of Power, Chicago, Average White Band, The Doobie Brothers, Stevie Wonder, and many others. During its existence, All In Love performed in countless nightclubs throughout Michigan and was featured at numerous high school and college proms. In its heyday, the group would draw more than 1,000 people to the Back Alley nightclub (a former bowling alley) in Bridgeman, MI.

Although the group disbanded after a few years, and its members currently live in Minneapolis, Nashville, San Diego, The Woodlands (Texas), Honolulu, and Detroit, they have stayed in touch and continue to perform in their locales.
