MI Local: New pop, hip-hop and metal with Kelsey, Brizzl, Mazinga + more

This week on MI Local, we had a fun mix of new and old tracks, from indie-pop to hip-hop and even a zesty hybrid of punk and metal coming out of Ann Arbor.

We kicked things off with a brand new song from a brand new project (sort of), with Kelsey., otherwise known as Kelsey Detering, an Ann Arbor based singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and music educator; having previously recorded and performed around the scene, Detering unveiled her new moniker with the single titled “Throw The Stone.”

We also heard a new song from veteran songwriter Tom Alter with “I Need a Ghost,” from his new album “Under the Firmament.” But, on MI Local, you get every genre under the sun, so we also checked in with local hip-hop artists like Brizzle and Illingsworth, who both just released new EPs on Bandcamp. Oh, and then there’s Mazinga, coming out of Ann Arbor — the four-piece metal/rock group just released a new album and you can see them live on Saturday at Ziggy’s in Ypsilanti.

Check-in with MI Local each week, heard Tuesdays from 9-10 pm here on WDET, and I’ll always provide you with a comprehensive round-up of local artists you can catch performing at venues around the region.
