Digital Folk

The Lonely Lovers is a northern-Michigan musical collective helmed by Mark Blaauw-Hara. It includes performances andcontributions by Jen Schaap, Caroline Barlow, Jamie Platte, Drew Baar, Chris Graham, Kevin Putman, Greg Carpenter, Cody Farrier, Chris Koury, and Ann Stebelton.
Rock
One of the tightest and most hard-hitting blue-eyed soul acts of the 1960s, Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels broke out of the Motor City to become major stars, racking up five Top 30 singles between January 1966 and May 1967. While Mitch Ryder’s powerful lead vocals were the band’s focal point, on their best work the band’s ferocious no-frills attack matched Ryder for passion and impact, with guitarist Jim McCarty and drummer Johnny “Bee” Badanjek leading the charge.
Blues Rock Trio
The power trio is not a term to be used lightly — for every Blue Cheer there’s a Blink-182 — but when it’s applied to the electrifying cacophony emitted by the Muggs, it’s almost not enough. The Detroit-based threesome is a power trio the way that Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath were — Robert Plant and Ozzy are cultural icons, but it’s what went on behind them that launched a million rock bands. The Muggs guitarist Danny Methric’s solos transcend the blues that spawned them by sneaking out of their major and minor trajectories without a care in the world, while drummer Matt Rost and bass player Tony DeNardo — the latter switched to the lower register on a Fender Rhodes after suffering a hemorrhagic stroke in 2001 that left his right side paralyzed — sound as if they’re joined at the shoulders.

As a duo of Resonator guitar and cajon drum, Drew Pentkowski and Loren Kranz began sharing songs in the spring of 2012. Soon they sought to expand to a full band with the addition of mutual friend Ryan Fitzgerald on upright bass.
Kranz: “It’s just a bunch of old friends playing some original music. I spent the summer in Grand Rapids, living in the same house as Drew, and we did a lot of writing in the backyard garden…”
