Tomorrow: Michigan Rattlers & Oliver Hazard @ House of Blues

Oliver Hazard, my most recent house concert artist, is coming back to town!  They’ll be opening up for the Michigan Rattlers tomorrow at the House of Blues (Cambridge Room) for $20.  I’ve been checking out Michigan Rattlers and it should be a pretty good show, particularly if Rolling Stone is right about this quote!

If you weren’t at my last house concert, you’re in for a treat.  Here’s what you missed:

Renegade Sound System Day Party (7/7/19)

First there was Revive, and now this Renegade Sound System Day Party.  These outdoor DJ parties down in the Flats are such a good idea - and so much fun!  This one was obviously much smaller, like a big group of friends just squatting for a party - where we wanted.  No bars, no bathrooms, just chillin’ down by the water on a beautiful day.  I grabbed some video, but the wind made it unusable - however, here’s my photos:

Flying Fish Cove (7/3/19)

It’s been a great vacation this last week and a half, primarily consisting of time in the woods, in my yard, and always with my dog.  The only downside was there wasn’t much live music.  Last Wednesday I finally just started searching for any show, which is difficult around any particular holiday (this one being the 4th).  Luckily Mahall’s came through with Flying Fish Cove out of Seattle.  They performed down in the Locker Room and put on a fun little indie rock show.

They ended up playing the middle slot on the bill.  Ending the night was Sweater Curse, which apparently this was their first show.  The lead singer turns out to be the lead vocalist in another local rock outfit, Total Downer.  His voice was amazing and his exuberance was infectious.  I didn’t get to stay for much of their set (catching the RTA home), so I only grabbed this photo - but definitely want to see what they come up with!

Video Day #tzachill

Jamila Woods just dropped her new video for BALDWIN, my favorite song off her excellent new album. Caroline Polachek put out her first new sing and video for Door, off an upcoming album. Sharon Van Etten shows us how No One’s Easy To Love in her new video.  

Bonus: Ra Ra Riot is a blast from the past, and have reemerged with their new video for Bad to Worse.
