Ella Riot

Ella Riot calls it “Dancethink Music.” Some might call it high-brow guilty-pleasure dance music. At the end of the day, it’s hard to find a genre to apply to a band of music degrees shamelessly enamored with catchy hooks, who sing through a giant megaphone in French, shred Van Halen on electrified Irish bagpipes, write [...]

Seth & May

For Seth Bernard and Daisy May Michigan has, for some time now, been a deep resource for songwriters and roots musicians.

Greetings from the Rootstand Family. The trials, tribulations, and grassroot determination of our team has exposed us as one of the most upcoming and notorious roots bands on the scene. Few other bands dig as deep in to the God-given mojo and animusical magnetism afforded to Michigan’s favorite acoustic ghetto rebel sons. Rootstand successfully marries [...]

Jaik Willis

He has a most unique soaring falsetto and a wild eyes rolled in the back of his head fierce guitar style. He writes original songs, including a fantastic song about Freedom (the gas station). Jaik’s sound is somewhere between Anti-Folk and The Band and it is unlike anything I’ve heard from anyone else. His energy [...]

Song of the Lakes

Meet Song of the Lakes. A band that’s not afraid to show its emotions, as they belt out sea shanties, seduce you with a sultry Brazilian melody, or break your heart with a bittersweet ballad. The band made itself a name with sea shanties and Irish melodies in the early 1980s, but its range has [...]
