MICKEY FREEMAN is a self taught vocalist who began her career in Boston in 1980 when she became a member of the 30’s/40’s campy swing group, The Boo-Bette Band, who toured throughout New England.
In 1982 she formed the vocal-based group, The Ritz which was inspired by the likes of The Manhattan Transfer and Lambert, Hendricks & Ross. The Ritz played jazz festivals, both domestic and international, and toured with such artists as Dizzy Gillespie, Woody Herman, Gerry Mulligan, Kenny Burrell, The Pointer Sisters, Phil Woods and Spyro Gyra in Finland, Morocco and Singapore. The Ritz also released two albums “Steppin’ Out” in 1985 and “Born To Bop” in 1987.
In 2010 Mickey was reunited through Facebook with her old friend and leader of the Rhode Island based Roomful of Blues…Duke Robillard. Duke asked Mickey to come to his gig at the Iridium to sing some tunes with his band. A magical collaboration ensued and she recorded “Livin’ The Dream” produced by Duke Robillard on Blue Duchess Records. Duke Robillard and saxophonist Scott Hamilton are guests on her CD. For the next eight years, Mickey fronted several jazz trios and quartets in New Jersey.
In 2018, Mickey relocated to Vero Beach, FL, where she performs regularly at The Grind & Grape Café, Costa D’Este Hotel, Cobalt at Vero Beach Hotel, Vero Beach Country Club, Vero Beach Yacht Club. Mickey has performed at the Laurel Awards at the Indian River Theater.

Space Coast Crew is the sport team of Space Coast Crew Boosters, Incorporated, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, established in 1996 to promote the sport of rowing among Brevard County scholastic students in rising grades 5-12. The team was initially formed in 1989 with 22 young women as a club under the direction of John Harbaugh and head coach Pops Atkinson.
Space Coast Crew started when multiple High School rowing teams in Brevard County came together to share resources and equipment. What started as a collection of multiple teams quickly grew to become one club team. From there, the club grew to add more and more student athletes and competitive programs and divisions. Today, over 25 years from our founding, our club serves Elementary, Middle, and High School student athletes from all over Brevard and we run programs for roughly 150 Youth student athlete members between all our programs. We are committed to teaching rowing while simultaneously using the natural lessons that come with our sport to teach youth how to work hard, be patient, and set goals.
We are a parent run, volunteer organization with a professional coaching staff. We depend on parents, community volunteers, and community donors to operate, manage, and maintain our wonderful programs.

2026-03-08 14:00 - 16:00 (America/Halifax) | Brevard Veterans Memorial Center, 400 S Sykes Creek Pkwy, Merritt Island, FL, 32952, United States
Ron Pirtle is “one of the most sought after bassists in Brevard County”, according to Florida Today news.
He is an Ohio farm boy by heritage, a retired mail carrier, and an exceptional bass player. His music journey began at the age of 12 when his parents gave him an electric bass guitar. His brother played lead guitar, so the two boys formed a rock and roll band. Ron’s proficiency grew with the music and his bass, and soon he was much in demand by other bands. Ron traveled throughout Ohio and neighboring Pennsylvania, playing music.
He discovered blues and jazz when he worked with an older blues piano player and switched to upright acoustic bass. From there, he nurtured his talent and love for this pure American art form.
Currently, Ron works a couple of regular weekly night club gigs and takes other dates when they come available. He leads his own jazz group, the Ron Pirtle Quintet, and has recorded a CD, “Gettin’ in the Groove”, with that group. In the meantime, Ron can be heard playing his bass all over Central Florida.
General admission is paid at the door. $30 for members of the Jazz Society and Brevard Veterans Memorial Center. $35 for guests and students are FREE. Bring your own food and drinks, Tables, chairs and a beautiful view of the river are provided.
