Michigan Bands News
Hello. My name is Rosie. My brother's name is Bryce. He is a 4.0 psych student at LCC. He had planned on transferring to MSU this fall. He recently received a letter stating he would be unable to transfer to MSU unless he pays for this summer's class. Now, he normally receives federal student aid and scholarships to pay for his schooling. The scholarships have never paid for his summer classes. The Pel Grant has though. This summer, t
Critically Acclaimed Nashville Pop/Folk Artist Dana Cooper and Maine Singer-Songwriter David Hardin Headline the 3rd Annual All Day Back Deck Acoustic Music Fest at Driftwood. (Croton, Michigan) National recording artists Dana Cooper and David Hardin will co-headline this year's "Back Deck Acoustic Music Fest" on Sunday, July 27th. This exciting event takes place in Newaygo, Michigan on the banks of the Muskegon River. It is held in the sun-drenched back deck location of the Drift
Toronto, CA - For the past fourteen years, the second week of June has seen music industry biz kids; aspiring bands and music fans make their yearly trek to Toronto for the North by Northeast Music & Film Festival and Conference, Canada’s answer to Austin’s venerable South by Southwest. NXNE provides a music conference with music showcases, networking parties and an indie film festival which has become a great place to check out new artists and films and also learn so
We are deliriously happy to report that Chris Badynee's Bogdon Box Bass was featured as Best In Show at the Summer NAMM 2008 in Nashville, TN! Born from the frustration of never having enough cash lying around to buy his own double-bass, Badynee created his own functional bass out of a cardboard box, a piece of wood trim, some weed-whipping twine, a few screws and some glue. Next he uploaded a video of himself playing his creation on YouTube and the video went viral. Local and ma
The first thing you notice when you cue up "Working Man" on Union Avenue's MySpace page is that this band lives deep in the pocket - which is a very satisfying place to be. The next thing you notice is the exquisite guitar work of Lenny Earls (we're told the son of legendary Sun Records 1950’s recording artist Jack Earls). Finally, you notice your foot is tapping, your head is bobbing and your body's wervin' to the funky rhythm of "Catfish" -
Join Platinum hit-makers Sponge and Marcy's Playground for a one of a kind rock and roll adventure on the high seas. Both bands will be featured entertainers on Carnival's Fascination for a 4-night cruise to the Bahamas on Oct. 23 - 27, 2008. The cruise departs from Jacksonville, Florida and includes stops in Freeport and Nassau. Each band will play full electric and acoustic shows, in addition to hanging out with fans during on board cocktail parties, poker tournaments
I don't know about you bandheads out there, but when I was gigging regularly I couldn't get my groove on without '...a taste born of hoary nights....the boldly flavorful yet surprisingly smooth spirit of Yukon Jack...' - or Southern Comfort, or Jeigermeister, or some other type of flammable liquer that was both sweet and dangerous when consumed in large quantities. Whiskey Rhythm is both the perfect description for that subtle state between stiff sobriety and alcoholic melt
Chris Badynee's Bogdon Box Bass has made the news again, this time right here at home in The Freep. The local musician/inventor has been peddling his wares in every available media outlet, including Bass Player Magazine, Good Morning America, on the Dwight Yokum tour with Jake Willemain, at the N.A.M.M. show out west and soon at the N.A.M.M show down in Nashville. According to The Freep he's already unloaded 500 of the cardboard contraptions at $99 bucks a pop via
"Emergenza is a annual musical showcase that claims to be searching for the best unsigned band in the world. They talk a big game and even look legit on face value. You submit a $70 fee to get in and they come back and supply you with strings and drum sticks. It's a showcase that is sponsored by Sony, Mapex, D'addario etc.. With bands competing in over 20 different nations for the "chance" to play in front of record label A&Rs The problem a lot of bands had with th

Long Branch Saloon in Carleton is looking for a rock n roll cover band for June 13 & 14 contact 734-586-8111 for more info
It used to be that a "garage band" was a group of young men who actually rehearsed in a garage and annoyed the neighbors as well as the local police department - not a band website, Mac recording software or some retro ideal to be attained after careful mimicry and thousands of dollars spent copping a sound. A real garage band would have to pull some strings and do some arm-twisting or convince the local bar owner that letting your mostly under-age act play for free in his bar wa
Royal Oak, MI -Honky tonk rockers The Orbitsuns host another round of “Rock N Roll Bingo” on Wednesday, May 28 at Four Green Fields.

If you've got a a hankerin' for some Hank Williams (I, II or III), some Graham Parsons or just about any flavor of hickbilly hee-haw music (they cover Buck Owens too!) with a healthy dose of classic rock thrown in for good measure, you'll probably want to see a band like Bullhonkey Deluxe, our latest entry in the Cover Bands / Country and Alt-Country category. This Flint-based quartet covers everthing from Alan Jackson to ZZ Top, from Brooks & Dunn to Social Distortion. Bul
I haven't heard Mr. Froggy Went A-Courtin' since second grade music class, or at least not since I last saw that episode of Tom & Jerry where that stuttering Uncle Pecos plucks Tom's whiskers to re-string his guitar (c-c-c-Crambone!). But it's the first track on the MySpace page of Muzyka! - our latest entry in the Original Artists / Folk & Traditional category. Muzyka! is a four-piece acoustic ensemble from the Midland / Saginaw area who play traditional fol
Having a name like Six Syllable Sin begs the question, just which six syllable sin are they referring to? Perhaps not-tun/ing-the-gui/tars? Or maybe sing/ing-in-the-wrong-key? Maybe it refers to choo/sing-a-stu/pid-name? Just kidding. Six Syllable Sin sticks to your noodle and is just fun to say - unleth you have a lithp in which cathe ith jutht cruel. Six Syllable Sin may be our newest band-link submission in the Original Artists / Indie Rock category, but th
Hey folks, I've been added to the May issues of Classic Drummer & Drum Magazine! Classic Drummer Magazine gave me a full color layout as well as an extensive interview and an Ad for Pintech Electronic Percussions new Rubber Ducky Drum Triggers. That same ad is also in Drum magazine. I'm very excited to be in both magazines but I'm especially pleased to be in Classic Drummer with one of my long time Idols, Carl Palmer, drummer for the legendary progressive rock group Emerson, Lake
The first time I heard the song "International Harvester" on a Lansing-area country station I thought it was a commercial for farm combines. Seriously. But what sounds like some crass product placement designed to compel casual listeners to buy gigantic agricultural equipment is actually an extremely popular song by Craig Morgan - and one that's covered very competently by our latest band-link submission in the cover bands / classic rock and country categories, Backwoods Thunder (g
After devoting six years to the female-fronted modern rock band Avenue, a popular act that enjoyed coverage by major media outlets in Michigan, guitarist/songwriter Todd Schoeneman decided it was time to put some passion back into his music and explore stylistic and emotional avenues he wasn't able to before. To aid him in the new venture, Shoeneman recruited Mark Pilotto on lead vocals, Jeff Korner on bass and Justin Sowers on drums. The band would be called Severance (as in severing

Several eco-friendly Michigan bands (ed - we hear they'll be moving their equipment by pedicab) will be performing at the second annual Green Street Fair in downtown Plymouth this weekend , Saturday May 3rd and Sunday, May 4th, 2008. The Wrenfields, Jill Jack, The Great Lakes Myth Society, The Ragbirds and Need To Breathe will be among a dozen bands who will perform over the weekend on the "Eco-Beat Stage" provided by Ann Arbor'
Well, the band links are piling up which means it must be time to get some work done. But instead of giving each of these fine, homegrown acts their own well-deserved space on Michiganbands.com, I'm going to be lazy and lump them all together under this one article heading ( send your complaints to Dept. Of Local Music Volunteers, c/o someone who still gives a shit). So click "read more" below and let me introduce to you the cavemanic musical stylings of Scott Cooley, the ori
Novi, MI: The Rock Financial Showplace will introduce a brand new concept in music trade shows this September.

Transplanted local rocker Jamie McCarthy, son of the late WJR radio legend J.P. McCarthy, will appear in episode 8 of the new video series Ced N Teri that will debut at The Park Bar on Sunday, May 4th. Doors at 8pm. The hilarious new series created by Mikey Brown, is redefining what it means to be a “sit” com. Ced N Teri is a politically-incorrect comedy about two, full-time couch potatoes and their cat. Shot locally at the Planet Ant Theatre in Hamtramck, Ced N Teri i
I'll be releasing a new CD titled You Can't Have It on May 8th, 2008. It is the follow up to "American Man" which is still available at Wal*Mart & WalMart.com. You Can't Have It includes 13 new songs and it is a slight departure from American Man. The record still holds strong to my country & southern rock roots but is more guitar heavy and adds a dose of blues and Detroit Soul thrown in for good measure. Release date is set for May 27th on my labe
Detroit singer-songwriter Don “Doop” Duprie, a three time nominee in the 2008 Detroit Music Awards and fellow rock nominee Ty Stone will be performing at the Detroit Music Awards on Friday, April 25 at the Fillmore Theatre.
