This is one HOT,
HOT, HOT Band...Be fure to wear some oven mitts! The boys might
be playin' at a church service or at your local bar, but their
old-time hillbilly swing and gospel is genuine, sawdust covered and
from the heart.
Eastside Mike is keeping alive the tradition of the acoustic folk-blues. The beauty of his music is in its simplicity—melodies, harmonies and lyrics that speak to the joys and sorrows of the common folk and the pleasures and pains they celebrate in song.

premier Celtic band Iits authentic instruments and harmonies will take

Isles when music was not only entertainment but truly the vox
populi—the voice
of the people. Equinox creates a musical experience which surrounds
their
audience with rhythms and melodies as old as the hills, as vibrant as
the new
world, and as fresh as the dreams of tomorrow. A charter member

GT JAM
GT JAM was born in
June of 2005, formed by 5 Mid-Michigan musicians who longed to play
original, instrumental jazz. Leaning on their funk, R&B,
gospel, rock and jazz roots, GT JAM set out to compose the music that
has been floating in their heads for years. Funky, soulful sax
jazz with an old school feel. Their music is exciting, mature and
it makes you feel good! GT JAM is Gerald Palmer, guitar; Tom Barsheff, saxes; John Johnson, drums and percussion; Art Longue'mire, keyboards; Marco Franco, bass guitar. At
present, GT JAM is promoting
their debut CD "Feel
the Concept" featuring 12 original and diverse arrangements from
strait out thumpin' funk to sexy, old school R&B.
Holy Crow
New to Saginaw On Stage 2007.
Susan O'Rourke/vocals & guitar; Zig Zeitler/banjo, mandolin,
harmonica, vocals; Jeff Schrem, upright bass
Just having four musicians from very different backgrounds to end up on
the same stage is quite a feat, but this gets way better.
Michigan;s own multi-instrumentalist, Zig Zeitler, has once again
made his mark in yet another genre. Having performed blues,
cajun, zydeco and Irish music for the past 40 years, with 16CDs of
originals to his credit he has matched talent with his wife and
bandmate Susan O'Rourke. Susan, on vocals and guitar is a native
of Brooklyn, NY and has performed Irish music across this country as
well as throughout Ireland. Together with Zig they have released
two Irish CDs that have been met with outstanding reviews. On
upright bass is a "young and upcomer" with tons of talent, Jeff
Schremms. If Jeff seems familiar it is because he slaps with one
of the hottest hillbilly swing bands in Michigan "Cornpone".
Sharing the writing duties in theat band, Jeff has added a flavor
to "Cornpone" that is strangely curious and addictive. Holy Crow
is a ride you are NOT going to want to miss!
