LAVA Rock

LAVA (Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Van Halen, AC/DC) Rock, and ROCK they do!  Lead singer Kerry Devine not only plays the parts of all lead singers, but can belt out the notes perfectly.  Robert on drums beats the skins like his life depends on it. Backing up the band with a super strong hold is John on bass with Gino & Gerald whaling on the guitars to complete the incredible sound of LAVA.  A must see band!

The Electric Red

90s Alternative fan?  Then this band will take you back to your college days (given you were in college 20 years ago).  The Electric Red is one of the tightest bands I've heard in a very long time.  Making every performance perfect as if they were hoping to get noticed and signed by some record label.

JGJ Band

Silent Bark

The Project

Glam Hammer

The Factory

As of  February, these talented musicians have only been playing together for two months.  Once you hear their eclectic taste in music, you will understand just how talented these guys are.  They appreciate the essence of great musicianship and are proud to pass that appreciation on to their fans.

Led Zeppelin 2

If you're only a studio sound type Zeppelin fan, don't bother.  But if you appreciate the raw live sounds of Page, Plant, Jones & Bonham then you will be very pleased.  An incredible likeness.  But don't let the first line of this review scare you.  I strongly recommend you check these guys out and be prepared to imagine you fell back into the time when music meant something.

Great Scott!

Love these cats!  More than a wedding band, casino entertainment or local bar band, it is a compilation of some of the best musicians around.  Great Scott!  will spend hours entertaining you with all of your favorite hits and even by request at times.  Be sure to check them out at the Gun Lake Casino this Sunday.  If you're still a little shy about what to expect, check out this video.  It just might help.  [Click Here]

After Effect

From Muskegon to, well wherever you want them to be.  These young lads can certainly kick out the jams. This is how Van Halen & Jimi Hendrix started out.  With the caliber of talent these cats have, there's no doubt they'll be playing big venues in no time.  Meanwhile, be sure to chat a glimpse of these guys at your local hang.

Old Friends: A Simon & Garfunkel Tribute

Nick Foresman & Jason Elsenheimer have been playing music together for over 26 years. Friends since the 7th grade, they began their musical careers by performing Simon & Garfunkel songs for family and friends at various social gatherings.

When Nick & Jason decided to put together a Simon & Garfunkel tribute show, it seemed so natural that they wondered why they hadn't thought of it sooner. They had already been singing these songs for over 25 years and that’s almost as long as the real Simon & Garfunkel.

So after a year of talk and nearly 2 years of rehearsing, refining the songs and working with some of most talented musicians available they were able to put together an amazing live show complete with a full 7 piece band; drums, bass, electric guitars, piano/keyboards and horn section. Nick was even able to locate and purchase the exact acoustic guitar model that Paul Simon used in the 1981 concert.

There is no other Simon & Garfunkel tribute show that even comes close. Old Friends pays ultimate homage to this amazing American duo in their most memorable performance ever and stays true to the beauty of their timeless songs. Nick & Jason's warm, blending harmonies, crisp guitar work and attention to every detail make Old Friends the premier Simon & Garfunkel tribute show.

Jedi Mind Trip

And what a "Trip" these guys are.  Such talent spewing out of every musician.  It's nice to see musicians take such enjoyment AND pride in their performances.  Jedi Mind Trip is a band based out of Saginaw that has be traveling across the Midwest for over 25 years.  Their perfect blend of 70s, 80s & 90s rock  will surely entertain fans of all genres & ages.  I have seen a lot of very good bands, bands that do a darn good job of such classics from the likes of Kansas & Boston and I have yet to see anyone nail it like Jedi Mind Trip. Every show will be sure to leave the audience begging for more.

Mega 80s

Mega 80s.  There should be no surprises what type of music these guys play.  A concert event that brings us all out of the 80's fashion closet.  The fans are just as entertaining as the band itself.  Zebra striped tights, beautifully teased hair and a bigger than life smile to tie it all in.  The women, on the other hand, wore leotards and leg warmers, beautifully gaudy prom dresses and enough hairspray to make the fire marshal cringe as the ladies of the 80s walk by the hot spotlights.
As with most everything in the 80s, there were a few disappointments.  Like finding out Milli Vanilli were frauds, Vanilla Ice "stole" music from other bands, and Elton John was gay...then he wasn't...then he was again. Keeping up with the traditions of disappointing 80s trends, The Mega 80s Band, although talented musicians, exposed the fact they couldn't play all the instruments needed to complete the songs. Mysterious keyboard rifs and backing vocals appeared from nowhere. They couldn't cover an entire song without breakin' into another.  A long ass medley or compilation.
All in all, extremely entertaining if you want to set back and reminisce about the times you can't remember.

The Bigger Picture

The Rock Show

Imagine, attending a live musical event, listening to the sounds emanating from the stage and hearing a song from your childhood or simply a favorite tune from your past. Focusing your eyes on the musicians, you are first surprised, then shocked to not see the original artist but - The ROCKSHOW: Ultimate Tribute Rock 'n' Roll Band! There really is no greater satisfaction for a musical performer; playing a tribute to another that sounds as close to the original artist as one can get; or as a fan . . . sounds and looks just like the real thing! This IS the unique experience you will get from The ROCKSHOW! Created by accomplished singer, songwriter and nimble-fingered keyboardist, Tommy K and gifted virtuoso guitarist Michael Hawkes...READ MORE

Trixy Tang

Time machine on stage. Let these young guys take ya down memory lane, one rif at a time.  These guys remind me of every wanna be rocker that cruised the halls in high school back in the 80s, and I say that with the up most respect. A little rough around the edges, but the choice of songs make it work.  Enjoy the mix of 80s & 90s rock Trixy spits out at ya and always remember to rock out with your wallet out.

Stone Thrown

It's nice to see, strike that, hear young musicians appreciate some great blues and rock.  Boy can these boys play. Such a tight sound played with passion and focus. This Grand Rapids area based band is a must check out talent.

Kastanza

How do you blend the sounds of Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stevie Ray Vaughn and The Darkness, then add some Soul?  Well you ask Ben, Andy & Kevin aka Kastanza to whip something out.  I first saw these monsters of innovation at Billy's Lounge in Grand Rapids, MI.  Amazed by not only the eclectic sounds but the incredible talents that spewed from their instruments.  Watch out for these guys, because you WILL be hearing more from them in the days to come. ****1/2

Outer Vibe

Outer Vibe is the revival of rock and roll's classic power and free thinking soul. The high energy 5 piece group uses trumpet and keys to color their Led Zeppelin, Queen, and Chicago-inspired music. Their sound is an innovative take on rock music's most timeless elements, which pays tribute to the voice that screamed out in the 1960's and 70's for change and freedom. The Outer Vibe has independently recorded and produced 3 full-length albums, and has sold approximately 1500 CDs in the past year. They are currently gathering material for a fourth full length album. 
The group is known to fill up to a 900-person capacity concert venue (i.e. Grand Rapids rock club staple, The Intersection). In just the last year The Outer Vibe has played over 50 shows within a 200-mile radius.  97.9 WGRD, Grand Rapids’ most listened-to rock station, selected...Read More
