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whose reputation as a harp player is only superceded by his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.

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.

Manna & Quail
Eclectic pop
with folk progressions. Manna and Quail flowed into the Detroit
music scene like a waterbed on wheels. Their futuristic sound

dancing on the sun. The humans that makes up Manna and Quail
thoroughly enjoy bringing you their omni-directional musical
delight.

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

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.

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
