'twas the Night Before New Years
and its time for a show
Why You Jam is in the know
Happy Holidays from Miko, Benji and Steve
Let's dance our asses off, before 2010 takes its leave
Thanks to all for one hell of a year
Bringing live music loud and clear
We'll see you more in 2011
Rocking the Earth, all the way to heaven.
Happy New Years and come out tomorrow night to the Magic Stick
As you can see, we are offering another round of stellar local musicians in a showcase of music.
Billy Brandt and Sarana Verlin are veterans of the Detroit Music Scene. Billy has played in several bands such as Red C, Jill Jack, Ashcan Van Gogh, High Flying Birds and Grievous Angel. He has won several Detroit Music Awards.
Sarana started writing and playing at the age of 10 and was performing internationally at the age of 12. She has worked with many people, including grammy award winners Don Was (everyone from Willie Nelson to Rolling Stones) and Steve King (Eminem), and producer Ben Grosse (Debbie Harry, Marilyn Manson).In her twenties, VerLin fronted the band "Natasha" which won the Detroit Metro X Music Award for Best New Talent. She also won Detroit Metro XMusic Awards Best Instrumentalist three years in a row...and now is in the Detroit Metro X Music Hall of Fame alongside prestigious musicians such as Aretha Franklin and Iggy Pop. She was one of the original members of the supergroup Dark Carnival, a rotating group of superstars including the late Ron Asheton and Jim Carroll. There current music, combined, is called "Celticana." It blends the best of Celtic and Americana music. Having known Billy for years, I would say this music brings scads of influences such as Dylan, Neil Young, the Grateful Dead and even the English Beat. Come out and see what you think.
Jam Samich Hailing from the outskirts of the Motor City in the great state of Michigan, a group of dedicated musicians have come together to create Jam Samich, an improvisational-rock band serving up a plate full of delicious tunes that will satisfy your musical hunger. Turning people on to the music they create hasn't been a problem. Jam Samich combines elements of all the music they have soaked in to create their own unique sound. Combining rock, progressive-rock, funk, blues, jazz, soul, and metal, the songs are crafted with patience and conveyed with true musicianship. Jam Samich is fully armed with dueling guitars and a ground shaking rhythm. "We have the groove to make your booty move. This band features Joe Stanley and Chuck Moberg on guitars. There is a symbiotic relationship between them, much like I have seen in My Morning Jacket, moe. and Gov't Mule. These guys listen to each other and really make their own music. While it is on the jamband side, some might think it leans toward power-packed blues. I know you will love these guys as much as we do.
Back Forty. Admittedly, I have a lot of love for these guys. They are part of a cadre of bands that make up the Ann Arbor-Ypsilanti scene. This band has expanded well beyond those borders and has now become a staple at many midwest music fests. They have now been invited several times to play the annual Arts, Beats and Eats festival. What can I saw. Their instruments resemble traditional bluegrass. There is fiddle, guitar, mandolin and fiddle. But, here's the kicker, they tend to play electric. They call their music Funkgrass, but even that eclectic label may be limiting. Colin Murphey, the fiddle player jams celtic, reggae, rock and jazz. Many times in the same song. I am telling you, you better take some vitamins and get well hydrated. Otherwise this band is going to slay you.
