Tonight, the Strutt is hosting a night of folkie-rocky, singer-songwriter, electric-guitar solo madness – All native Michigan music too, I might add – and it’s going to be so good to hear it.

Jeremy Porter will be in town from the Upper Peninsula, and he’ll be bringing his new band, the Tucos, with him, playing an assortment of music from his new album ‘Party of One’. Guitar and vocals backed up by a full band and some excellent songwriting – A good way to spend a Saturday night if I’ve ever heard of one.

Joining them are Livonia, Michiganites Chris Richards + The Subtractions, who have also just released an album. Plus, local boys (and one of my favorite outfits) Birches will be out to support everyone while thoroughly getting down on some guitar-pickin’ rock and roll.  They’re working on an album themselves, but unlike the other two groups tonight, it’s not out yet. Good things come to those who wait, though.
