Join us in Kalamazoo for Cooper's Glen

The annual Coopers Glen Bluegrass Festival is coming and the Detour crowd is looking forward for a terrific weekend of performing, workshops, and jam sessions.  We've had the opportunity to play this great festival a couple of times before and the audiences were fantastic.  The sponsors, our friendsat the Great Lakes Acoustic Music Association, provide space for jam sessions at all playing levels.  Even better, it's inside the Radisson Hotel in downtown Kzoo, so it's play, play, play, snow or shine (and it's snowing a lot over there this time of year).  We go on stage at 10.15 PM Friday, February 15 right after the big 35th anniversary celebration for Grassroots, WMUK's folk and bluegrass radio program (hosted by Detour pals Lorraine Caron and Mark Sahlgren).  So it should be a blast.  Bring your axe and join in!
