Each week, on MI Local, you’ll get a sonic tour of the state of Michigan, featuring the latest releases by artists based in Grand Rapids, Lansing, Traverse City, and of course Detroit.

 

This often results in experiencing quite a smorgasbord of genres, some sweet, some piquant. And that’s exactly the case this week — from folk to punk, avant-garde to a cappella, garage-glam to ethereal indie-rock, you’ll get quite a sampling of mitten state music, from Ann Arbor’s Fred Thomas, to Detroit’s Mod Lang, and even Shelby Township’s Sunbather — dig in!

 

Upcoming local shows to catch in the week ahead include appearances by May Erlewine at the Magic Bag, the aforementioned Fred Thomas at the Lager House, plus Grand Rapids-based indie-rockers Low Phase will be in Hamtramck, opening up for Illuminati Hotties.
