Band Bio:
This four-piece Detroit-based band was known as
‘Southband 75’ in an earlier incarnation, and, after
some personnel changes sometimes plays under the name
‘Northbound 75.’ The band, which delights its audiences
throughout Michigan with a variety of music, from Motown
to rhythm and blues to soul and funk rock, has been
featured the last two years in Grayling at the Au Sable
River Canoe Marathon. In fact, it’s the only band ever
to be invited back do perform in the Canoe Marathon
parade more than once. Drummer John ‘Strawberry’ Simpson
helped M33 Access design its first stage before his
‘Southbound’ band performed at our annual Festival and
Concert Fundraiser many years ago.

M33
Access Celebrates its 10th Anniversary
with Bike Week
Concert Extravaganza

M33’s Wilson
promises music event of the summer
in Northern Michigan at 25th Annual Bike Week
ROSE CITY – M33 Access is joining organizers of the Ogemaw
Hills Bike Week in an effort to bring Northern Michigan the
concert event of the summer to commemorate milestone
anniversaries for both organizations.
While Bike Week is celebrating 25 years of bringing a
premier biker event to Ogemaw County, M33 Access, the Rose
City-based high-speed Internet and telephone company, is
celebrating its 10th anniversary. Bike Week is scheduled for
July 12-19 at the Ogemaw County Fairgrounds.
“I can’t think of a better way to celebrate 10 great years
of doing business in this region than to join forces with
the folks who have worked so hard to make Bike Week such a
great success over the years,” said Glenn Wilson, president
and founder of M33 Access.
M33 Access is sponsoring the concert on Saturday, July 18,
and Wilson is promising that those attending will be treated
to a musical event unlike any before seen during Bike Week.
Over the years, Wilson and his company have held such
concerts at their annual Customer Appreciation Day
festivals, but this year Wilson is taking his signature
entertainment event to Bike Week.
But he isn’t forgetting his customers. Wilson promises to
make sure his customers who want to see the concert and get
VIP treatment at the event – with reduced rates and some
other perks. All M33 Access customers can expect further
details about the event directly from the company.
The Bike Week concert from M33 Access will take the place of
the annual festival, which Wilson said is necessary because
his company is in the midst of a massive build-out that is
greatly expanding its 10,000 square-mile grid that delivers
myriad Internet and telephone services to the region.
“While nothing gives me more pleasure than inviting the
thousands of our customers, neighbors and friends onto the
property for a day or two of festivities and music, it’s
really important right now to put all our efforts into
upgrading and expanding our services to a region that needs
it more than ever,” Wilson said. “I know our customers will
understand and appreciate that, because many have already
told me, ‘The parties are great, and we love them, but we’d
rather have you put all that money into more towers that
will give us a stronger signal.’
Meantime, the Bike Week organizers promise an amazing week
of fun at the Ogemaw County Fairgrounds and at special
events around the county, culminating with a great concert.
“Glenn has been an excellent upgrade to the rally. The dude
just has so much energy and great ideas,” said Kerry Klug,
one of the driving forces behind the rejuvenated Bike Week.
“I’m looking forward to working with him and Frank (Tschiggfrey,
M33 Access vice president) on the stage and various other
projects. He’s a great guy, and they’re a bunch of pros at
M33. Super people to work with.”

wireless broadband and dial-up connections that are
connected via wireless backhaul. Its 10,000-square-mile
