McCabe's Ladies - Celtic
 |
~~~~McCabe's Ladies~~~~ Featuring Detroit Music Award |
Measured Chaos - Electric Blues
 |
MEASURED
CHAOS
was formed from the splinters of several well known Detroit area heavyweights
("Savage Grace","Lightnin'", "Vantage Point!").
From writing their own brand of blues-fusion to interpreting songs by
the masters, one thing is for sure, these guys can really play. A typical show served up by the Michigan based band opens with some tasty and inspired appetizers. Nuggets like Willie Dixon’s “You Can’t Judge A Book By The Cover”, or their very snaky version of “Back Door Man”. The main course displays some exhilarating originals such as “Six Days Of Sinnin’”, the jazzy “Night Ridin’” and the fiery “Spreadin’ The News (Not Preachin’ The Blues)”. The frosting on the cake is the delicious interaction between hot-blooded guitars and passionate vocals. ~ International touring Musicians~ |
Fushicho Daiko - Japanese Taiko Drummers
 |
Taiko
is the Japanese word for "great drum." Fushicho is the word for the mythical
Phoenix. Fushicho Daiko is a performing
group of fiercely dedicated musicians and modern masters of the ancient
musical art of Japanese drumming. This art form called taiko, originated
centuries ago in Asia; and in Japan was a means to signal to distant villages
the approach of an advancing enemy, an impending disaster, or time to
come in from the fields for dinner. Only in the last 50 years in Japan, and the last 25 years in North America, has taiko evolved into a powerful performing art. A performance by Fushicho Daiko is both spellbinding and stimulating. Deep in the core of every human heart is an instinctive desire to beat a drum. Fushicho Daiko satisfies this eternal yearning in an unforgettable, dramatic way. Their evocative sounds and pulsating rhythms combine to make music one literally feels as well as hears. Furthermore, their colorful costumes and masks accentuate the stylized high energy of their performance. Primeval and haunting, the music can truly be a cathartic experience. Based in Phoenix, and founded in 1992, Fushicho Daiko is a 5 person ensemble; Esther Vandecar, Tony Trapasso, Eileen Morgan, Ken Koshio, and Marsha Robb. They have traveled all across the United States sharing their music with schools, colleges, and communities in a number of different venues. China and Mexico tours are slated in the near future. . Group, duo performances and teaching and educational workshops available. International Performers! |

DOTAD is a detroit based group of international performers and folklorists. Solo, duo and group performances and teaching and educational workshops available. ~ International Performers ~ |

 |
Maggie's Farm, all natives of the Metro-Detroit area, revives the old style blues and brings it home. The combination of guitar, Dobro, harmonica, mandolin with male and female vocals set the sound apart and brings home the old school blues so rarely seen today. Sippy Wallace, John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters are a few of the influences that provide the backdrop for Maggie's Farm. Our repertoire includes blues from as early as the 1920's to our own, original material. Maggie has been honored to receive the Performers Awards of Detroit "Best Live Performance" award and was nominated for "Female Entertainer of the year", a great honor for any artist. Carl Henry was the winner of the 2003 Detroit Blues Society - Blues Challenge and was just nominated for the 2004 Detroit Music Awards Outstanding Blues Instrumentalist."...some of Detroit’s finest -Thornetta Davis, Jim McCarty |

presents a credible and mature effort," writes Patrick Chimner of
Common Time Music Magazine. "Stacia has a strikingly fine voice and
uses it to plead for positive change." Barbara Scott of the Blues
Review writes, "Stacia's voice quality is astounding in both its
clarity and sweetness of tone and her tunes, as she performs them, convey
a rare sense of honesty." Other honors include being a New Folk Finalist

Jarosz Originally

close harmonies of Ellington, Monk, and Bill Evans, STEVE JAROSZ blends
the history of American music with an original flair into jazz standards,
rare pop classics, Jewish folk music and Cuban influenced melody. Early
swing and blues feels to sambas and slow ballads, even bluegrass and haunting
dissonant melodies have been played at various venues such as bars, clubs,
private parties, coffee houses and variety shows in the U.S. and England.
Steve has fit in perfectly at martini bars, evening dinners, and private
parties to blues and rock bars and alternative and avant-garde spaces. Available for solo, duo and group performances. "Having traveled the world in search of the musical holy grail, Steve Jarosz has made his way back to the Motor City. Former leader of "Blue Voodoo and guitarist for the "Twistin' Tarantulas", Jarosz's evolution into a jazz guitarist is nothing short of brilliant. From standards to blues to sampled loop improv, the showmanship and contagious energy from his performances makes for a high-fevered evening. -- "Detroit Metro Times" 2003 |
