What it means to me
James wrote up a post about what Michigan music means to him. We’re hoping we’ll be able to see some of you this weekend, and hear about what it means to you.

I still have very vivid memories of my first local show. It was December of 2005, and this girl I really liked asked me to go see her friend’s band: Modulate to A. I remember standing in the dark Howell...
Michigan Music Matters: The Details
We have four shows that we’re really, really excited about this week. We’ll be all across Michigan playing with our pals in Tiger! Tiger! and Hawk & Son. Come out to one of these dates, and help us celebrate Michigan music.

The “Michigan Music Matters” idea came to me one night when my band, Good Weather for Airstrikes, was on tour this past December. We were in Tennessee or Georgia or something, really far away from home, and I was thinking about how much I love the place I am from. Specifically, the music, and all other forms of creation and expression, in the place I am from.
What I wanted...

WatchSeveral months ago, my parents did something increasingly common: they got divorced. What was weird about it was that they were married for 24 years before getting divorced.
It hit me really hard, and I let it affect my life in a lot of ways it shouldn’t have. As the oldest of four kids, I felt it was my responsibility to singlehandedly keep my family together. I also didn’t see the...

This is really good. You should download it.
WatchThis is actually the first track we wrote for this album, and it was written at least two years ago. It is a song written about lost love, and the hopelessness that I felt at the time.
Love does a lot of things to us, but mostly it intensifies everything around us. This occurs when we are in love, and everything seems brighter and full of life. This also occurs when we fall out of love, and...

WatchI often feel helpless, in a way.
I was talking to my brother recently, and we talked about the veil that is over the eyes of so many people. You don’t realize just how much is wrong with this world until this veil is removed. When it is removed, what you see can be too much to handle.
I don’t mean to be melodramatic. It’s just something I think about. There are so many things...
WatchI wrote the lyrics for this song towards the end of the summer in 2010. I spent most of that summer getting drunk or high or both, and in the process I lost sight of the things that were, and are, important to me. I spent a lot of time that summer fighting with my brother, Matt, who is someone I consider my best friend. He never really came out and said it, but I think it was pretty obvious that I...

RE-BLOG THIS IF YOU ARE IN ANY WAY ASSOCIATED WITH LIVINGSTON COUNTY’S MUSIC COMMUNITY!
Those of us who make up Fusion Shows have been doing shows now for nearly 8 years. It blows my mind to think about that. These days, we’re all over the state, doing shows in Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Pontiac, etc. But it all started in two places. Irving’s Northlawn Music started in...
WatchWe wanted to create something.
We took everything that we knew, and combined that with the questions we don’t know the answer to. We contemplated love, life, loss, and what it is exactly that makes us human.
We wanted to learn more about ourselves and the people around us. We wanted to explore the thoughts that push us forward, we wanted to know what makes us tick. We wanted to feel every...
