Somewhere between the crossroads and the graveyard… where the wind hums old gospel and the dirt remembers every sin… THE FURTHER ADVENTURES OF FATBOY AND JIVETURKEY They don’t just play music — they summon it. Led by the spellbinding voice of Benjamin Hall, a man with a voice like honey over razor blades, this band digs deep into the American soul, then drags it back out, howling. Acoustic blues, smoky jazz, backwoods country — all wrapped in the rusted chains of rhythm and haunted harmony. And then... there are the horns. A hell-blasted horn section, blaring like a funeral parade in a town that forgot how to die — they don't just back the band… they drive it forward like a possessed Cadillac on a midnight run. “One note and you're hooked. Two notes and you're marked.” The Further Adventures of FatBoy and JiveTurkey isn’t a concert. It’s a ritual. Clap your hands if you dare — but don’t say we didn’t warn you. Coming soon to a dive bar near you… if the spirits allow it.

IS Evolution doesn’t chase trends — they create their own lane.

With an edge carved from Detroit grit and unapologetic fire, the band hits hard with original compositions that cut straight to the core.

Fronted by the powerful voice of Inohs Sivad, IS Evolution blends heavy grooves and sharp riffs into a sound that’s both unrelenting and undeniable.

At the helm is Deus X, guitarist and music director, whose vision shapes the band’s sonic strike. Holding down the low end, CC Smith lays bass lines that pulse with precision and drive. Keviyan Richardson brings raw electricity to rhythm guitar, while Matt “Matadore” Lemons anchors the group with drumming that pounds and propels in equal measure.

Together, IS Evolution is a force — a collective where every note is intentional and every performance uncompromising.

THE DANGLING PARTICIPLES
The Dangling Participles are a Lansing-based indie-folk band with an eclectic repertoire and a feel-good vibe. Their music features spirited duets, soulful harmonies, storied lyrics, and vibrant instrumentation. Austin Kaufmann anchors the group on guitar, Tamiko May adds cornet and ukulele, and Tim Patterson (bass, piano) and Dan Moreno (drums) round out the rhythm section. With multiple songwriters composing across several genres, The Dang Ps’ songs appeal widely, evoking the breadth of human experience, lyrics drawing deep from the wells of literature, art, family, and relationships, and as one reviewer writes, “Listening to The Dangling Participles feels like a burst of dopamine.”

PINTER WHITNICK
Forming in a small studio apartment in Detroit, Pinter Whitnick spent 2020 distilling their favorite songs down into duo-sized versions. While Kayleigh played bass, sang, and controlled a live light show, Alex added guitar, keys, vocals, and foot percussion. The result was an 80s/90s duo with a full-band sound. Since then, Pinter Whitnick has taken their unique style to venues across the Mitten, turning back the clock and taking listeners on a sonic journey.
