Detroit Proud Playlist: Week of 1/9

There's always something new happening in Detroit, so there's no excuse to get bored around here (trust us). This playlist is dedicated to getting you out of your comfort zone (except for the cozy acoustic show, that's all about the comfy), and into a musical space where local artists mesmerize with their talent.

Take a peek at some upcoming events below, and get into the spirit with tracks from some of the featured artists! (Plus, it's your lucky week, we've even included some BONUS tracks, beyond our normal 10!)

Cozy Acoustic Living Room Show at Crow Manor
Wednesday, January 11th
