Act Casual
Act Casual, a dynamic fusion band hailing from Detroit, has garnered attention for their electrifying performances, haunting harmonies, and innovative improvisational style. Merging elements of the blues, funk, extended instrumentals, and catchy pop melodies, the band has become a vibrant force within the Midwest music scene. Their rise from intimate basement jam sessions to sold-out performances at renowned venues such as Detroit’s Magic Stick, Ann Arbor’s Blind Pig, and Columbus’s Woodlands Tavern reflects their growing popularity and dedicated fanbase.
In addition to their regional engagements, Act Casual has made significant strides in the music festival circuit, performing at large events such as Summer Camp Music Festival, Hookahville, Weekend at the Cave, Solshine Reverie, Summer’s End Smokeout, Ann Arbor Hash Bash, and Arts Beats & Eats. The band was invited to perform at a Bernie Sanders campaign rally and has opened as direct support for notable national acts including Bootsy Collins, Wishbone Ash, Larry McCray, Laith Al-Saadi, Omega Moos featuring Brendan Bayliss and Ryan Stasik of Umphrey’s McGee, The New Mastersounds, Ekoostik Hookah, Spafford, Dopapod, Moon Hooch, The Werks, Mihali, Magic Beans, Dixon’s Violin, and The Nth Power. Prominent musicians including Ben Carrey of Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Muruga Booker and Gabe Gonzalez of Parliament Funkadelic, and Chris Houser of The Werks have also sat in with the band.
Act Casual’s palpable stage presence and energetic performances have attracted media attention, leading to features in publications such as Rolling Stone magazine, Detroit Metro Times, Music Connection magazine, Local Spins, and The Stratton Setlist. Their latest album “Livin’ a Lie”, which has surpassed 50,000 streams on Spotify and received airplay on 101 WRIF and 101.9 WDET, has solidified their status in the independent music scene. Act Casual recently completed their 35+ date 2025 summer tour and a recording session at Third Coast Recording Co., looking ahead the band is slated to releasing new music in 2026 and embarking on an even larger summer tour.
