“The John Fogerty Tribute Project” is not a cookie cutter tribute act giving you the same songs and robot style performances. Rather, their live, interactive, heart throbbing performances are at the core of a real live John Fogerty concert. An energetic tribute that will bring the house down with all the songs you would expect to hear from both John Fogerty’s Creedence Clearwater Revival years and his solo career. A fitting tribute to the man and his music while maintaining the individual musicianship of each band member and their talent. Via their media outlets, you can follow the developments, hard work and “fan-extras” no other tribute band provides. 
The band is also in contact with current members of John Fogerty’s touring band while seeking their advice and critique on the project. “The John Fogerty Project” leaves their audiences with a memorable uplifting rock and roll experience while paying tribute this classic and timeless music everyone knows and loves leaving the fans wanting to do it all again. This tribute band is an absolute “must see”.A truly unique experience on the tribute band scene.

Confused about all the different ways to take hormones? You’re not alone, and the answer is not one-size-fits-all.
Join us for an educational evening at Milford Med Spa where we break down your options in a way that actually makes sense.
🗓 Tuesday, May 12 ⏰ 6:00–7:30 PM 📍 Milford Med Spa
🚨 Limited to 10 attendees for an intimate experience
We’ll cover: ✨ Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone—what symptoms they can help ✨ Bioidentical vs. synthetic hormones—what that really means ✨ Delivery methods explained clearly: • Patches • Creams &amp; gels • Injections • Pellets • Oral options
✨ The pros and cons of each—including absorption, convenience, safety, and lifestyle fit ✨ Commercial (insurance-covered) vs. compounded (private pay) options—and how to choose what’s right for you
As an integrative practice, we offer both approaches, helping you navigate what’s accessible, effective, and aligned with your goals.
This event is especially designed for women navigating perimenopause and menopause, and is also relevant for men experiencing age-related hormone changes.
💫 If you’ve been told your labs are “normal” but you don’t feel like yourself 💫 If you’re curious about hormones but unsure where to start 💫 Or if you want to better understand your current therapy
This is for you.
