Light Up Electric Forest The Crane Wives’ story is both charming and unlikely. Grand Valley State University students and aspiring musicians Kate Pillsbury and Emilee Petersmark worked at the same Chinese restaurant where they began performing on Friday nights under the moniker The Crane Wives. Soon after Tom Gunnels (banjo), Dan Rickabus (drums/vocals) and Ben [...]]]> https://mispymag.com/2012/05/the-crane-wives/feed/ 0 https://mispymag.com/2012/05/sonic-lunch/ https://mispymag.com/2012/05/sonic-lunch/#comments Tue, 29 May 2012 13:00:46 +0000 David Nassar https://mispymag.com/?p=6199
One of my absolute favorite summer events, the free concert series Sonic Lunch, will be returning in 2012 with an impressive lineup of local and national bands and fantastic grub served up by local vendors. Every Thursday at noon between June 7 and August 30, Bank of Ann Arbor presents free shows in Liberty Plaza [...]]]> https://mispymag.com/2012/05/sonic-lunch/feed/ 0 https://mispymag.com/2012/05/gaining-speed-with-dale-earnhardt-jr-jr/ https://mispymag.com/2012/05/gaining-speed-with-dale-earnhardt-jr-jr/#comments Tue, 29 May 2012 12:52:32 +0000 Paul Kitti https://mispymag.com/?p=6256
Whether you live close enough to hear the bats crack in Comerica Park or you reside in the calmer shadows of the Motor City, you’ve probably referenced Detroit at least once when asked where you’re from. The further you travel, the easier it is to namedrop the troubled city (some people hear Ypsilanti and react [...]]]> https://mispymag.com/2012/05/gaining-speed-with-dale-earnhardt-jr-jr/feed/ 1 https://mispymag.com/2012/05/barn-music-at-its-best-with-andrew-bird/ https://mispymag.com/2012/05/barn-music-at-its-best-with-andrew-bird/#comments Tue, 01 May 2012 12:10:12 +0000 Amanda Slater https://mispymag.com/?p=6050
In many ways, Andrew Bird is an enigma. In some circles, his name is synonymous with “musical genius,” yet both his music and personality could be described as understated. His nine to five takes place in a barn (he’s not a farmer). He enjoys isolation when writing music – which (somewhat ironically) helps him create [...]]]> https://mispymag.com/2012/05/barn-music-at-its-best-with-andrew-bird/feed/ 0 https://mispymag.com/2012/05/mayer-hawthorne/ https://mispymag.com/2012/05/mayer-hawthorne/#comments Tue, 01 May 2012 11:53:52 +0000 Amanda Slater https://mispymag.com/?p=6043
Confessions of a music nerd and food addict. Mayer Hawthorne’s Wikipedia page advertizes Hawthorne (born Andrew Mayer Cohen) as a singer, producer, songwriter, arranger, audio engineer, DJ, rapper and multi instrumentalist – all of which is true. And his Twitter account advertises his love of food – among other things. Hawthorne came up with his [...]]]> https://mispymag.com/2012/05/mayer-hawthorne/feed/ 0 https://mispymag.com/2012/04/ann-arbor-summer-festival/ https://mispymag.com/2012/04/ann-arbor-summer-festival/#comments Mon, 30 Apr 2012 21:21:30 +0000 David Nassar https://mispymag.com/?p=6036
