Hello y'all

Man, its been a good spring. Nice and warm. Makes you thing of all the good music out there that will be coming soon.

The Macpodz and Lucky Brown, are going to be playing a night of sensational music at the Magic Bag Tonight. The Podz are old and dear friends of the Update. They have gotten some national traction opening for bands like Moe and playing huge festivals across the US. They will bring their smooth rifts and fiery funk at you all night. LB also are friends of the Update. Music has a twinge of reggae and R&B in it, but their sound is their own. This is a local music extravaganza .

Might want to check Chene Park this weekend. Erykah Badu is there tonight. Babyface is there tomorrow.

Also Breathe Owl Breathe a staple at the Annual Dunegrass Festival in August will be at the Ark tonight

Don't forget Michael Franti and Spearhead this Tuesday at the Royal Oak Music Theatre.

Dead Again, the premier Detroit tribute to the Band Beyond Description, plays next Saturday (6/11) night at Fishstock at Fishbones in Saint Claire Shores.
