NY Times Article on the Music Scene in the Big D and some more shows

Hey Now

Miko, here, raising my head after my Spartans took a clobbering in the Championship Game. But, hey Sports Illustrated says they will be number one preseason next year. As a Jew on the Eve of Passover, we always have next year LOL!!!!

So, I am passing on this article recognizing our music here. http://www.modeldmedia.com/inthenews/musicscene18509.aspx Thanks to Ryan Hertz for posting it on Facebook.

So since this site is dedicated, in part, to the Detroit music scene, how about some shows?

Tonight

Andrew Bird A Hawk and A Hacksaw Michigan Theatre

Stacy Earle and Mark Earle The Ark

The Sugar People The Blind Pig

J Graves Erik Hartley Band Hardrock Cafe

Thursday

Krishna Das -the absolute master of Kirtan music. If you have never experienced Hindu devotional music and chanting, KD is a treat. To me, the best of all of them that tour and I include his versions in some of the facilitated drumming I do. He is playing at the Masonic Theater in Detroit. I am wondering if it is going to be in a room there because it says to bring a blanket to sit. You can still order tickets online. http://www.krishnadas.com/tour_schedule.cfm
