Friday, January 25, 7:30 pm: David Molinari and Creolization @ Foundry Hall - Grand Rapids songwriter David Molinari plays a unique blend of high energy, improvisational, Zydeco-influenced music with his band, Creolization.

Tickets are $10, $8 for Foundry Hall members, or are available for a suggested donation after the show starts. (www.creolization.com)
Friday, January 26, 9:30 pm: Womack Family Band, Sean McDaniel @ Black River Tavern - Since their debut in 2010 The Womack Family Band has captivated audiences all over the eastern U.S. with their spot on three part vocal harmony, tight musicianship, and old soul songwriting. Their instrumentation includes guitar, mandolin, trumpet, trombone, upright bass and percussion. Calling on the spirit of The Beatles, The Band, Paul Simon, and James Taylor, the Womack Family Band combines the vibe of the 60's 70's songwriter with the roots of American folk, blues, jazz, country, and rock music. Sean McDaniel is a South Haven singer-songwriter, and former bassist for the popular funk-jam band, Me3Mind. (www.womackband.com)

Mike Reeb is a full-time touring solo musician from Lafayette, Indiana. Throughout the Midwest, Mike has performed with Alejandro Escovedo, Joe Pug, Sleeping at Last, Bill Mallonee, Pete Krebs, Switchfoot, Denison Witmer, Elsinore, Derek Webb, and Company of Thieves.

Saturday, January 26, 9:30 pm: Jake Simmons & the Little Ghosts @ Black River Tavern - Jake Simmons, one of two songwriting talents behind the excellent (but now defunct) Dead Scene Radio, is back. With a hand picked supporting cast and unapologetic swagger, Jake is taking his blend of punk, rock, country, pop and folk out of a southwest Michigan garage and into the Black River Tavern. With the Little Ghosts (essentially a complete motown-era rhythm machine) in lockstep, Jake's live show swings wildly from soulful acoustic ballads, to catchy doo-wop, to cascading sheets of caterwauling feedback.
