Prospecto Musical Showcase and Sonic Experience
09.23.2010 - 8pm - Downtown

 Welcome to The Mitten. For better or worse we signed up for this place and this is where we live. Resting on a backdrop of beautiful oceans of fresh water juxtaposed to the ghosts of mechanized industrial livelihoods, Michigan is one of the most interesting places on earth. The Upper Peninnsula gave you the iron for your steel (thanks Ohio, sorry about the war). If you are sitting in a chair, it was most likely designed or manufactured here. We brought you cars, delicious fruit, pasties, Michael Moore, The Wings, The Pistons (don't worry about the Lions). In a post outsourcing world we have felt the hardships, usually the worst, but when time gets tough people create, and considering the amount of tough times we've had, there are plenty of songs to write.

While Detroit is a world-renown pillar of exceptional musical offerings, her sister Grand Rapids on the west side of the state has had some quite impressive gems. Al Green, Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Mustard Plug, The Verve Pipe, and James Maynard Keenan of Tool all hail from Grand Rapids, Michigan. Grand Rapids is a beautiful midwestern city littered with college campuses and churches. The dichotomy of old guard Protestant suits juxtaposed to the Bohemian intelligentsia - this town is sweltering with creativity.

So the Prospecto family decided it was our duty to pull off a showcase for the great talent in Michigan and in doing so we invited some friends from around the country to anchor in support. Excellent Nationals, excellent locals, with one common thread- giving you an excellent experience. So get over to Grand Rapids, September 22 -25th, the Mitten is kind.
