You like folk music? You like Rock music? You like when the two are recklessly smashed together and performed on stage in front of a live studio audience? Well that’s what’s going to happen tonight at The Strutt, and that’s pretty cool.

Coming in all the way from New York, former University Of Michigan student Charlene Kaye is on tour and playin’ the house.  Her music is less folk-rock and more folk-jazz – not that she doesn’t rock per se, just that she be swingin’, and that’s okay. She’s got a set of pipes too, which further aids in the process of getting down.

Spencer Michaud hails from Ann Arbor currently, and is a bit more straight-laced in terms of his folk music. It’s good though, real good.

Finally, local Folk Rock Heroes Birches are providing the jams, the grooves, and the hometown support. This is one of my personal favorite Kalamazoo outfits, and it’s always good to see ’em playing at home. The doors for this one open at 8:30 and it cost 5 bux to stop by, but don’t let that deter you from some awesome music.

If a funkier, bluesier sort of night is what you’re looking for, though, you could always swing by Bell’s Eccentric Cafe and check out the BMF Band and Marble Garden. It’s gonna be good times either way though!
