Jill Jack with Billy Brandt

See Jill in the intimate setting of our Market pavilion.  Jill, with her soulful voice, has won 25 Detroit Music Awards including three more in April 2008.


Her genre-jumping sound doesn't fit easily into any one format and keeps her free to write and sing what she wants, "I am a folk artist and I'm proud of that".  Jill can do more than just a good folk song. She can sing a sweet ballad and rock the place out too.

Dan Goree

Dan is a gifted player. He is accomplished in many styles, including funk, smooth jazz, classic soul, rock&roll and he's a great vocalist.

Bob Monteleone

Catch Bob & his trusty Seagull or Taylor acoustic guitar. As much as he loves the give & take of other musicians, playing solo gives Bob the freedom to take off in any direction, any time. He's more likely to play more Neil Young, Radiohead and other personal favorites as well as original songs.
