Hi Everyone,
We apologize for the delay in this newsletter—it's been a busy year for the band! We've had an incredible time performing at various events, dances, and festivals, and we're excited for another year full of music and community gatherings.
We have some sad news to share: our beloved bandmate and friend, Eric Noffz—our talented saxophonist—passed away on January 12, 2026. To honor his memory and read more about his remarkable journey, please visit our Tribute page at www.mondokane.com/tribute.
