Detroit does Detroit

Detroit does Detroit is something that has taken over the city by storm and continues to grow. Last year, a tradition was started. The first installment of Detroit does Detroit had blossomed. This is an event where local bands came together performing music of their favorite performances that have taken place in the motor cities throughout the years. It was originally created as a one time deal, but the feedback from the performances last years sparked interest in creating a series of Detroit by Detroit. Everyone loved the performers and the support and love of their favorite artists.

This April, the tradition will continue. Detroit does Detroit II will be taking over the city on April 14 at the Magic Stick in Detroit. Last year there were only few performers, as they did not know how the fans would react to the new event. Now that they know the fans are begging for more, there are 16 bands set to perform. Instead of having one stage like last year, the venue has expanded and there will be two stages to view during the celebration of our favorite performers. The event is expanding and the word is spreading.

Anyone who loves music, young or old is encouraged to be a part of this event. It is a $5.00 cover, and although it doesn’t seem like much, the proceeds are benefiting the School of Rock in Rochester, and a small five dollars will go a long way for all the starving artists looking for any help they can get. Grab all your friends and tell them about the experience and support they can give to the city of Detroit, just by showing up and having a good time. Not only will you have an amazing time, but you will be supporting the community and giving back at the same time. What could be better?!

Here is a list of the performers that will be attending this year, and the amazing performers they will be dedicating their renditions to:

Vatican (as Alice Cooper), Mick Bassett (as the White Stripes), the Handgrenades (as the High Strung), the Kickstand Band (as the Amino Acids), Lightning Love (as the Kickstand Band), John Nelson & the New Girlfriends (as Brendan Benson), Duende (as the Oscillating Fan Club), Citizen Smile (as Jesse & the Gnome), Pupils (as Adult), Woodman (as Chris Bathgate), the Ashleys (as Pupils), the Good Things (as the Sights), Skinny Wrists (as Deadbeat Beat), Young Blood (as Bob Seger) and Stephen Schmidt (as Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.).
