The Handgrenades
The Handgrenades are a four-piece indie rock band from Detroit, MI. Highly influenced by the British Invasion era, Andrew Pawelski, Tom Pawelski, Sam Vick, and Nick Chevillet have developed a refreshing sound that is all their own. Featuring three-part harmonies and catchy pop melodies, they are a rare gem in the Detroit music scene.

6pm-7pm ------------------------------>
Ryan Dillaha &
the Delmatics
A folk pop trio that finds their influences among the deep reservoir of American soul music, the Delmatics came together at a local watering hole south of Detroit Michigan. Long nights of long necks and pints
turned into after hours jam sessions long before they hit the stage.  Anchored by songwriter and guitarist Ryan Dillaha, the Delmatics are comprised of the tight rhythm section of brothers Joshua and Mike Boyd on bass and drums respectively as well as the soulful and soaring harmonica and vocals of Tim Rios whose reputation as a harp player is only superceded by his reputation as a bartender. Ryan Dillaha and the Delmatics have begun to develop a reputation for their energetic live shows. The fun they have on stage is as infectious as their melodies.


7:30pm-
9pm --------------------------------------------------------> 
Subourbon Son

Tin Scribble

Led by guitarist/vocalist Michael Moore, Tin Scribble take musical paths not traveled by many, but well worth the journey. With music reminiscent of prog legends like Hawkwind, Gong, King Crimson and Van Der Graaf Genrator, Tin Scribble is a force on the progressive rock front to be dealt with. Along with the live re-recording of the band's debut CD, Tin Scribble are fervently working on their follow-up studio album, tentatively titled The Most Unaccountable Of Machines. The band hope to have the album completed for release in late 2008.

6pm-7pm  ------------------------------------------------>
The Pomegranates
Pomegranates began in the young minds of Jacob Merritt and Isaac Karns. With a mutual desire to make music, the two began penning songs. Immediately they felt this new project was heading places, so they solicited the help of Joey Cook, and the three got down to business. Their initial practice session gave shape to what would later become their first song, "Nursery Magic". Poms were official. June of 2007 saw the release of their well received debut EP 'Two Eyes'. Their full length, 'Everything is Alive', was released in May of 2008. Pomegranates continues to write music and share it with whoever lends an ear.

7:30-9pm  ------------------------------------------------------>
Manna & Quail

Eclectic pop with folk progressions. Manna and Quail flowed into the Detroit music scene like a waterbed on wheels. Their futuristic sound often reminds one of a deep-sea adventure or of blissfully dancing on the sun.

12 Noon-1p
m ------------------------------------------------------>
Ryan Dillaha
Ryan Dillaha's music finds equal measures of influence from the finger-picking troubadours of the country folk music tradition of Texas and Tennessee as from the soul stirring singers of Motown and Stax records. His shows move seamlessly from covers of Smokey Robinson or Sam Cooke to songs by Steve Earle or Hank Williams, and his originals that comprise the majority of any given performance seem to negotiate the waters between these traditions. Born and raised in Downriver Detroit, Ryan honed his songwriting craft during a decade long stint at a local steel mill. He is currently polishing his songcraft while
studying for a PhD in literature. Cleveland songwriter Matt Harmon has said of his songs: "Ryan's songs are unfiltered, leaving specks and clumps of real world grit floating amongst otherwise romantic sensibilities. You'll want to drink this S#*T through a crazy straw!"
 

1:30pm-3pm ------------------------------------------------------->
Ghost of Scott Slotnick
The Ghost Of Scott Slotnick is a Indie, Acoustic band that originated from the problems in the world and in Scott Slotnicks life. With lyrics so profound that you would expect them to come from a more seasoned songwriter, Scott at the age of 19 has found a way to paint a vivid portrait of his life through his lyrics. The Ghost Of Scott Slotnick sounds like bands: Bright Eyes, Kevin Devine, The Good Life, and Neil Young.

 

3:30pm-4:30p  
Deastro -----------------------------------------------------> Randolph Chabot Jr. started to make electronic music when he was 13 at his home in Sterling Heights, MI. He finished his first album that year despite the ecstatic, aural trauma it caused his mother. He studied youth development in college with the intent of becoming a social worker, dropping out to pursue music full time. He formed an electro band called Veleciraptor, which inspired the ideas for his current synthesized projects: Our Brother the Megazord and Deastro, which try to blur the lines between electronic and acoustic music. All the music is made in Randolph's basement with the help of alot of sampled children's toys and synthesizers. Deastro's "the Young Planets" and Our Brother the Megazord's "Time the Teenage Twister" are set to be released as a 34 song double disc in July of 2007. He is currently working on songs for
his acoustic project Jr. Jr. and the new
Deastro album entitled "Dark Diamond."
