What are this year's not to be missed sights or performances? My niece's choir is singing just after 5:00, then we're free to roam. There are a few DIA galleries we haven't seen yet and I know Thornetta Davis will be around, but what or who, aside from the major venues, should we check out? | ||

Audra Kubat posted this on her myspace page: quote: If anyone hasn't yet seen Blackman & Arnold...and you have ANY interest in virtuoso guitar...you owe it to yourself to soak in these musical geniuses. I cannot contain myself when Blackman comes down to Bert's Marketplace...he is smokin' on that axe. I adore Audra, too. Missed a performance she did at Cliff Bells recently, so I have to get out for these shows. Cannot handle the withdrawals... | ||

Hot Club of Detroit is playing at 6:15, 7:15, and 8:15 at the Detroit Artists Market.

What an amazing night! That snowfall made it so festive, it totally felt like a Jimmy Stewart/ Frank Capra movie! Noel Night was gorgeous! | ||

It really was- big turnout, which surprised me given the weather warnings. The Tartan Tenors were very entertaining! | ||

Best night of the year downtown (midtown) again! Only was able to get a taste of the new DIA before the kids dragged me on from there. Once again, a cold drink, good music, art and people watching at the Scarab Club and I felt like I was in a Sundance film. The snow made it perfect. | ||

Noel Night is the perfect way to kick off the holiday season!! Hot Club of Detroit was a great choice for the Detroit Artists Market, which was lively and fun!! Thornetta at the DPL was SRO!! The band had a great time!! The snow was perfect, at least for a time. | ||

The snow came at the perfect time. I walked to my apt from WSU before the evening and it was freezing and windy. When I walked out next to go to Noel Night, it felt like it warmed up, the wind stopped, and the snow started falling. It was great! But attendance seemed down to me. I have to say my favorite performance was at the Charles Wright Mus of African American History near the end where a group of dancers and drummers came to perform. The audience then had a chance to cut a rug and it was great!  |
