Greater Alexander:
The path to achieving a dream can be a long, arduous journey. On it, you see remnants of
those that have traveled before you. You see lost hope and altered courses. Indie-folk artist,
Greater Alexander, has seen all of that and more, yet he steadily walks that long road with a
smile and a big heart. Love is his fuel and spreading it is his goal.
Hailing from Southfield, Mich. (by way of New York and Athens, Greece), Greater Alexander
is a tried and true singer/songwriter. Partaking in this rebirth of Michigan and its glorious folk
music, his voice is instantly soothing as it floats across the finely plucked and gently strummed
guitar that finds its home in his arms. Greater Alexander nurtures his music from its birth on
paper to the recording stage where he tracks his own vocal melodies over one another to create
a full-fledged, lush sound

The Detroit Social Club
Like many of our most noteworthy musical stars, The Detroit Social Club Band is born of the streets of the city of Detroit. Motown has always been more than Motown and the DSC Band is a testament to that. Inspired by the “chitlin’ circuit” era of the Motown (aka Motortown) and the Stax/Volt Revues of the 50’s and 60’s, the Detroit Social Club is an entire show featuring the finest R&B, Blues, Hip-Hop/Pop and Smooth Jazz you will find in the Detroit area.
