DITKalamazoo is a loose collective of individuals in the Kalamazoo area that seek to help the local community’s music scene thrive and grow by providing venues for shows, organizing concerts, and booking a wide variety of acts both local and distantly out-of-town.
In addition to all that nonsense, we will also be giving our two cents on the various shows and albums we see and hear in our travels. Not that our two cents is worth a lot (there have been experiments set in motion to settle weather two cents is even a fair value – data so far shows this figure may be on the high side), but at the very least we’ll try and tell you what something may sound similar to, or what you may be out to expect. Keep your eyes open for that.
Above all, though, this site is here as a contact point between the folks that put on the shows, and the folks that want to go see them. So if you want to book a show somewhere in Kalamazoo through DIT (K), you can let us know through email: ditkalamazoo (at) gmail (dot) com. And of course, if you want to know what shows to attend, keep checking back, and we’ll be sure to let you know.

My name is Rick Beerhorst and I front the band The Wealthy Orphans. We are a quartet with accordion, percussion, base, guitar, banjo and vibes. We are kind’a moody/gypsy rock towards Dovotchka. We are based in Grand Rapids and have played Founders and The Pyramid Scheme. We would like to stretch out to Kalamazoo. I first heard about DIT(K) through Dan Climie and right away dug what you’al are about. We would like to play the Strutt but are open to suggestions. We know cool stuff is happening in Kazoo like The Red Sea Pedestrians and we want to enter in. You can check out our record, Little Piece of the Pie at The Wealthy Orphans on Band Camp and ReverbNation. We appreciate what you are doing to keep the cultural wheel spinning here in Michigan and wish you the best and more of it.
Warm Regards, Rick Beerhorst
