Greetings from the desk of Vince Paul
The Detroit music scene keeps us humble. Just as soon as you think you have the 411 on who’s who and what’s what, along comes a new generation of artists ready to vibe into the mix.
Aretha’s Jazz Café is the epicenter of discovery for Detroit music. Discover Elena Hirsch on the 2nd, a pop singer-songwriter fresh out of school with a brand-new band. Discover Re’Monda and The PhilGood Music Group on the 3rd, Nëw Crëw’s funk & soul sounds on the 8th, Chicago & Cleveland artists Kat Sherman & Vanessa Rubin on the 15th & 16th and re-discover King Moore -- a Detroit young artist now grown & on loan from Los Angeles, here to deepen his Detroit roots. Fifteen shows to discover this month in the Café.
Not to be outdone, the Main Stage hosts Grammy winner & ultra-captivating vocalist Ledisi on the 26th, and Air Supply on the 31st with tunes we’ll never fall all out of love with.
Don't forget, you can reserve a Jazz Cafe table before every show. Please note there’s an abridged menu on Main Stage show nights Menu so we can serve everyone in time for the curtain.
As always, "I'll see you downtown"
