MI Local: Breathtaking new music from Fred Thomas; May Erlewine’s Ferndale tour stop + more
Listen to “MI Local” with host Jeff Milo every Tuesday from 9-10 p.m. ET on Detroit Public Radio 101.9 WDET.
Ann Arbor indie-rocker Fred Thomas will perform at the Lager House on Saturday, Oct. 12, with Quivers and Deadbeat Beat.
Each week, on MI Local, you’ll get a sonic tour of the state of Michigan, featuring the latest releases by artists based in Grand Rapids, Lansing, Traverse City, and of course Detroit.
This often results in experiencing quite a smorgasbord of genres, some sweet, some piquant. And that’s exactly the case this week — from folk to punk, avant-garde to a cappella, garage-glam to ethereal indie-rock, you’ll get quite a sampling of mitten state music, from Ann Arbor’s Fred Thomas, to Detroit’s Mod Lang, and even Shelby Township’s Sunbather — dig in!
Upcoming local shows to catch in the week ahead include appearances by May Erlewine at the Magic Bag, the aforementioned Fred Thomas at the Lager House, plus Grand Rapids-based indie-rockers Low Phase will be in Hamtramck, opening up for Illuminati Hotties.
See the full playlist below and listen to the episode on-demand for two weeks after it airs using the player above.
