Inspiración: Lisa Luevanos Mural Dedication in Southwest Detroit

On December 19 we were honored to attend the dedication of a serape mural created by our good friend and client, Lisa Luevanos in Southwest Detroit. As she told the Detroit News:

Luevanos calls the viaduct mural Inspiración, or inspiration, in Spanish. Her inspiration was her mother and grandmother, both artists, and this mosaic is a fitting tribute to her roots. But she also hopes the piece will inspire everyone who passes by — and that’s a lot of people on this busy thoroughfare. “What I want you to take away is a moment of happiness,” she said. “When people look at it, it makes you happy.”

Congratulations on this fantastic gift to your community, Lisa!

It has been some months since the debut of Joe Jaber’s highly anticipated second recording and it’s accompanying video, both entitled “Keys to the House”, and the key to the perfect place and time to showcase and celebrate the projects had seemed frustratingly elusive….until the arrival and advice of friend, fan, seasoned performer and benefactor Ty Stone… ”Just do it,” said Stone, “Throw the damn party….Better late, than never!”

VIDEO: Phredley Brown on Fox 2 Detroit

Detroit’s own Phredley Brown, also known as Bruno Mars’ musical director, performed his newest solo material on Fox 2 Detroit in advance of his show-stopping set at the 24th Annual Detroit Music Awards. Phred is feverishly cranking out tunes for his solo project while he has some time off from his hectic touring schedule. The Los Angeles resident returned home to see how Detroit’s brutally honest crowds reacted to his new music, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. What do you think?

Yep. That’s me on bass with Kali Douglas on drums and Onnie Medina on vocals.
