Dan Tennant - A banjo wielding songwriter from Southeast Michigan who writes fun and heartfelt songs for folk lovers and rock and rollers alike. Dan’s influences come largely from Folk, Bluegrass, Punk, and Dixieland Jazz resulting in toe tapping songs that get stuck in your head and leave you smiling. Dan continues to write and perform songs, both solo and with a number of groups, for fellow music enthusiasts and merrymakers all over.
Since picking up a career on the sidewalks of Toronto, multi-instrumentalist indie folk songwriter Maddy Ringo has become prominent emerging artist in the Southeast Michigan folk scene with her poignant songwriting. She brings a contemporary edge and a mellifluous, jazzy voice to a timeless musical tradition of cultural conversation. Her latest album People of the Earth and Sea explores vivid narratives of the complex internal world within an alienating post-industrial society, drawing on her experience as an artist raised in an urban environment.
Steve performs as a solo acoustic artist, bringing his blend of soulful original material and songs by his favorite artists to more intimate settings. His music is streaming on all platforms both as a solo artist and his band, The Steve Taylor Three. Their latest album “Temporary Heart” won the Michigan Music Award for Best Americana Album.
Weaving styles from many corners of the globe, Mikey creates a tapestry of music that ranges from romantic Mexican boleros to Celtic melodies. As an avid composer, Mikey draws from his pool of influences and classical study to create instrumental melodies inspired by things of nature like the mountains of Montana. As a songwriter, his influences include Bob Dylan, Yes, Fleet Foxes, and Wilco.
