Live at PJ's: Black Jake & the Carnies
Ypsilanti octet that calls its energetic, foot-stomping blend of punk, old-time music, and bluegrass “crabgrass.” All Music Guide writer Steve Leggett calls it “a kind of raucous acoustic Americana that tosses postmodern Appalachian murder ballads, Irish drinking songs, skewed, twisted love songs and general cautionary tales into a stylistic blender that has them sounding like nothing so much as a maverick, hopped-up punk polka band in full 21st-century everything-fits jug band mode.”
The Savoy: Jake Allen
Experimental rock singer-songwriter from Grayling.
Zingerman's Roadhouse: Lady Sunshine & the X Band
