Detroit Music Update: June 2008

Just an FYI Van Morrison goes on sale TODAY He is playing on 9 July 2008 at the Fabulous Fox Theatre. I finally got to see Van about two years ago. His stage presence was much more than I anticipated and quite frankly, he is a rather adept sax player.

While I have your attention, newer friends of the Update, Flophouse, is playing tonight at

Outriggers Bar,

9901 N. Main St, Whitmore Lake, MI, USA.

These guys definitely got their "funk on."

Y'all have a great weekend and to the dads, the greatest Father's Day!!!!
