We've hosted RJ Spanger and Friends here at Royal Oak twice a year for the past few years. All the musicians he brings are fabulous and very well received. He's bringing James O'Donnell back on December 9 at 3 pm for a *Swingin Holiday,* and also on February 10 at 3 pm. RJ will return for a Fat Tuesday Celebration.
