For those in-the-know, after an unexpected exile, lengthy trials and tribulations, this will be a night for Encore Studios’ owner Kojo Asare, formerly Studio 4 Music Rehearsals, to apologize to loyal clients for the inconveniences of the sudden setback; to say thank you for the support that you have given him over the years; to fundraise for the facility; and, to celebrate the completion of a great rehearsal space with colleagues, friends, and family.  Come one, come all, it will be a night of fun.  Cheers!
