On this Podcast, John Gonzalez and Amy Sherman of "Behind the Mitten" offer some winter fun in Gaylord, a chance to check out a great New Year's Eve Party in Grand Rapids, an interview with legendary band Tower of Power and a tasty Christmas ale for Beer of the Week. This episode aired on multiple radio stations across Michigan, Dec. 16-17, 2017.

Segment 1: John and Amy visit with friends from Treetops Resort in Gaylord where general manager Barry Owens is getting ready for a busy season and showing off some major renovations at the Main Lodge, as well as The Inn. They also talk about dinners, sleigh rides and other activities at Treetops. Also, making an appearance is Paul "King of All Things Snow" Beachnau of the Gaylord Tourism Bureau, who talks about why his community is the state's premiere wintertime location. You can even see the Elk.

Segment 2 (Listen at 10:32): John and Amy interview Emilio Castillo, founder and leader of the Tower of Power, the California rock band making music for nearly 50 years. The band performs Jan. 17, 2018 at the Forest Hills Fine Arts Center in Grand Rapids. Tower’s sound can be hard to categorize, but Emilio says their sound as “Urban Soul Music.” Tower’s rhythm section lays down a groove like no other band. The band’s horn driven sound is unique, and the way they approach everything, from writing and arranging to mixing and performing, is totally their own.
