Zappa Plays Zappa

Hey Now

I get information from the strangest of places. I signed onto my Yahoo Messenger and there it was in bold advertisement. Zappa plays Zappa Tomorrow at the Sound Board at the Motor City Casino. BTW a great sounding venue if I must say.

It is weird that this venue is getting all these bands. MMW was there recently. I think it is a little big for the bands that they are booking. I am also concerned that if we do not go to these shows, then these bands are going to be reluctant to book here. So , hence a Catch 22. Support the bands because we need the agents to know we are serious about getting music here. But, go to venues that are not where we would like to see music.

Anyway, I say go if you have the time . . .

. Come join and add shows, show revues, MP3's and comments . If you have a band or know a band that you wish to spotlight and the band plays in the 313, 248, 586, 734 and 810 area, sign up and share the love.

Greensky Bluegrass Ticket Giveaway

Howdy Y'all

My My. I sure hope that everyone is having a great summer seeing music, hanging with family and just doing all that makes them smile. I have had a great summer so far and that is why the blog has been on the low side. I saw Phish 6 times in June and just got down working the Rothbury Music Festival. I am a booth coordinator for a non profit. Also have squeezed in some music at the local venues. Ain't life grand

So I have been lobbying Jeremy at the Bag to get Greensky Bluegrass http://www.greenskybluegrass.com/ to town. It is finally happening. Yippee!!!!!!!!!!!They are playing this Saturday with special guests, our own Back Forty!!!http://www.backfortymusic.com/

So Miko, tells us more about Greensky. Well they used to be kinda local. They hailed from Western Michigan and played the Ann Arbor scene for quite a while. They are now considered one of the premier bluegrass/jamgrass bands in the land. They have won the prestigious Telluride Bluegrass Festival Band Contest in 2006, and regularly play with the likes of Tim Carbone from Railroad Earth, Tony Rice, Peter Rowan.Bill Nershi and Keith Mosely from String Cheese Incident,Del McCourey and his sons Ronny and Robbie, David Grishman and the Punch Brothers. But honestly they can stand alone. They have been tearing up the festy scene making appearances at the Allgood Festival, Rothbury, Langerado and Bonnaroo. They also play traditional bluegrass festivals.This is a must see band if you enjoy traditional bluegrass. But they are known to take some of jamband favorites, classic rock songs and even some Michael Jackson and give it there own extended play workover

I must also give a little plug for my friends Back Forty. http://www.backfortymusic.com/bio.html. I first laid eyes on them about four years ago. They had been playing the Ann Arbor/Ypsi scene and I had heard so much about them. They played a hootenanny with my friends the Ragbirds and Rootstand. When I saw them, I was hooked. When Colin plays the fiddle, you just want to rage. Dan on guitar and Andy on Mando/Guitar are the cat's meow. Now they play funkgrass so there are going to get you bumpin' and reelin'

Here's the best. My dear friend Willy Wilson from the Bag is allowing yours truly to offer 2 sets of a pair of tickets to this show to the first 2 people that reply to the email/blog. The show is Saturday July 11th. Tickets are 10 dollars and doors are at 8 pm.

Come join and add shows, show revues, MP3's and comments. If you have a band or know a band that you wish to spotlight and the band plays in the 313, 248, 586, 734 and 810 area, sign up and share the love.

Some Street Fairs for this Weekend

Greetings My Dear Friends

Will someone tell the powers to be that my dayjob is interfering with my fun LOL. Yep, been defending against the MAN since Tuesday. That means I have been in a lengthy contested trial that will end today.

But since I am always looking for fun to get some relief. I did take a scan of the sources.

There are two street fairs going on this weekend. One is tomorrow only. The Detroit Linberation Fair. It is apparently a marihuana legalization festival. But, I do know that local favorite Covert Operations will be playing there. http://detroitliberation.org/index.html

This weekend brings the Green Street Fair. www.greenstreetfair.com Over the weekend Bump and the Macpodz are playing. The music schedule was buried on the official site, so I decided to just copy and paste it.

FRIDAY, MAY 1
2:00-3:15: THE SAINTS
3:45-5:00: FOUR FINGER FIVE
5:30-7:00: ZOOROPA: A U2 TRIBUTE.

SATURDAY, MAY 2
2:00-3:15: LUKE WINSLOW-KING
3:45-5:00: ORPHEUM BELL
5:30-7:00: BUMP

SUNDAY, MAY 3
2:00-3:15: THE MACPODZ
3:45-5:00: SERENA RYDER

Saturday Brando and Friends plays Dick O'Dows. Also the Ultraviolet Hippopotamus are playing the Cadieux Cafe.

A show that I am going to draw attention to for next Thursday is Charlie Hunter returning to the Magic Bag. I know many of you know of Charlie. I have literally been seeing him for years. He built the guitar he plays. It is a combination bass and treble (a regular) guitar. It is amazing to see him play jazz rifts while playing the bass chords at the same time. The current version we'll see is a duo. I have seen Charlie in a duo before and my jaw was dropping

Here's another one May 22 Medeski Martin and Wood at the Motor City Casino. www.motorcitycasino.com . I gotta tell you, I was at the room they will play last Friday night, for a swanky gala. It is called the Sound Board and it was state of the art shit. I said to myself, a show in this room is going be tops. Then I saw that MMW, whom we all know, is the most amazing jazz-jam trio in the world.

I will put out some more when I can. I have been really "work" busy these past few weeks.

Ticket Alert

Hey Now Peeps

Happy Spring long time no talk.

I need to get this out though because the ticket alert is afire. Ben Harper is playing a rare club date at St. Andrews. Tickets go on sale Saturday at 10 am. at www.livenation.com There is a two ticket limit.

On going this week. Assembly Line Concert-Farm Aid for the Big Three. There is a music marathon (250 hrs) that started Friday at AJ's Cafe 240 West 9 Mile Road in Ferndale. Yours truly ended up on stage last night. It is to draw attention to the plight of the Auto Industry. Governor Granholm showed up there today. I get coffee at AJ's every day and can tell you the music has been superb. Saturday morning at 800 am there was a band that conjured the song of the British blues bands of the 60's and definitely called into play the gravelly sound of the Grateful Dead circa 1968. Brando of Brando and Friends showed up yesterday morning to fill a spot, He brought the heat, breaking out the elusive custom made Schwartz "Shaman" acoustic guitar. I say this guitar is elusive because he rarely takes it outside his private practice space. So come out to support this event. Live music around the clock and AJ's is trying to break a Guinness World Record for the longest record. But wait, there is competition from a cafe in Statesville, NC. Let's kick these Tar Heels' asses as will the mighty MSU Spartans in the NCAA Basketball Tournament!!!!

On the horizon. Next week, we host the NCAA Final Four. GO SPARTANS but y'all already now how I feel. Several bands are going to be playing around the Big D in support of this once in a lifetime event. For example, Flophouse is playing at the AT&T stage at 4pm on 4/3 at the GM Building (aka the Renaissance Center). This will be an outdoor event. I intend to do a little more research to get to the "meat" of the schedule. Also Flophouse and Ekoostik Hookah are playing the same night at Blondie. I am a bit surprised at this location.

More a little later this week. I hope.
