It’s summer!

The Detouristas are on the prowl, looking forward to a summer of performing and recording!  So far it’s been a glorious summer in Michigan, with perfect festival weather all ’round.  We had a terrific time playing at the annual Niles bluegrass extravaganza with the Hillbenders, Lonesome Meadow, and our old pals in Special Consensus.  Then we joined Seth and May, Corn Fed Girls, Red Tail Ring, and other good friends at the Great Bear Music Festival up the road in Bloomingdale.  Now we’re looking forward to returning to our old stomping ground in Manistee for its Roots on the River concert series and then up to East Jordan, near Charlevoix, for an evening concert in the park.  Later on we’ll be appearing at the Salt River Acres Bluegrass Festival, Dunegrass, and the Great Lakes Folk Festival in East Lansing.  Watch our gig calendar and our Facebook page for updates and word from the Detour fans out there!  The band is working up new material from Jeff’s famous catalog of great tunes and devising some pretty cool new arrangements of our existing stuff, so please come by, have a listen, and stop for a shake & howdy!
