Michigan Blacksnake w/Jen Kearney & The Lost Onion
In the tradition of American "hipshaking" Soul music, Michigan Blacksnake waves its banner with rhythmic passion, vibrating the senses and shattering all misconceptions of the funk. Their fresh delivery and old school foundation is fueled by the groove and blended into their sound. Driven by the smooth vocals and downright nasty-guitar work of the band's founder Greg Luttrell, accompanied by an airtight rhythm section of drummer/vocalist Tony Hall and bassist Mik Mersha with the lush and post modern keyboard sounds from Ron Poster and Ben Hillman, the band has been amazing audiences all over with their diverse yet innately funky sound. www.miblacksnake.com This will also be a CD Release party for Michigan Blacksnake's new album: Mind Over Matter. Opening for Michigan Blacksnake will be Jen Kearney and The Lost Onion. Regardless of the medium or its rules, Jen Kearney has a firm grasp on the true principle of musicianship: that music is an ocean of culture expressed through sound and knows no boundaries. She is not afraid to dive into any music that catches her attention. She wants to know about its culture and meaning, she wants to live it, breathe it and experience it as if it was her own. This explains her ability to easily apply Latin, R & B, rock, jazz, reggae, blues and funk influences into her music, which is ever expanding into other realms. We can only expect her music and fan base to grow and reach into all parts of the community.
