The Jump Starts began the festivities of night two of An Under Cover Weekend at the Firebird with Justin Johnson and Sarah Ross occupying the front of the stage, assuming the role of the Violent Femmes.

Those who have seen JC Brooks & the Uptown Sound perform usually describe their reaction in two words: blown away.

An ensemble of talented local bands led those in attendance at Off Broadway to an onslaught of fun and excitement.

There is only one explanation as to why a handful of scantily clad, sweaty Abraham Lincolns were dancing at the Firebird: Electric Six was playing a Halloween show. Packed with fans in costumes, the Firebird was filled floor to ceiling with electrifying music and intense dance moves…and that was just the warm up for the Detroit-based band, currently touring behind the album Zodiac.
