Get to know the artists before the event!

This event will be hosted by David Steves! David is a Kalamazoo based comedian that has performed at Laugh Fest, and currently hosts the M-89 Bar and Grill Comedy Night in Otsego the 2nd Thursday of each month.  David who is also a Father and Veteran of the US Army, has a high energy delivery and stories that anyone can relate to!  Come and catch his crazy stories and antics on stage

SkitzoMichigan (10:45pm) – SkitzoMichigan has toured the country performing with the likes of Esham, Bizarre of D12 and others. His sound can be compared to Dr Dre meets Public Enemy – hip hop with a socially conscious flair. His favorite venue in his hometown is the State Theatre and he looks forward to taking the stage with his DJ, DJ Enyce, and his hometown compadre Boombox Ronnie.

The Mushmen (10:00pm) – The Mushmen are quite possibly Kalamazoo’s ONLY Ska band. Which coincidentally also makes them quite possibly Kalamazoo’s BEST Ska band. Or PREMIERE Ska band because that word totally sounds more grown up and important.

Trifocal (9:10pm) – The trio fuses elements of multiple genres to create a musical experience filled with twists and turns. Throughout the many changes of feel and energy, their music maintains a sense of groove that is impossible to ignore.

Ghost Bunnies (8:20pm) – Ghost Bunnies play an ever-growing collection of fun indie rock originals and select covers from yesteryear. A double dose of percussion, lively keyboards and a triple scoop of harmonies have kept the dance floor lively since 2012!

Chadderboxx and Anserz (7:30pm) – Local DJs team up for a special club style performance. Spinning a mix of modern and decade hits, these DJs will let you experience your favorite tracks in a whole new way.
