Come pick on Cystic Fibrosis!

Well, the Detouristas have been really busy lately playing to packed houses in Lansing, Thompsonville, and near Manistee. Our concert at Elderly was a blast; we got to run through a number of tunes from our new CD and playing in a room filled with great instruments and enthusiastic musicians is always inspiring.  Up at the Brown Town Hall near Manistee we held a CD party for local friends, and filled the place with happy listeners.  The evening’s proceeds — some $500 and change — all went to the Community Table, and we had a great time playing and visiting with fans.

We invite you to join us and a parade of Michigan bluegrass bands at the Pickin’ on Cystic Fibrosis benefit at Dogwood Center in Fremont on Saturday April 4 — details in our gig calendar and at the concert website.  Some of our favorite local musicians turn out for this event in a theater with great acoustics.  The event is organized by our sound man, Jimmy Kittle, himself a fixture on the bluegrass scene in Michigan.  We look forward to seeing you there!
