Hoping May would turn on its afterburners to provide some heat, as our outdoor season gets underway, but, so far, no luck! Anyways, looking forward to a great summer season with Howlin Mercy! May 19 we’ll be up in Berkley at O’Mara’s. Then, we’re into the great outdoors with Grosse Ile’s Islandfest on Friday, June 2 (along with the biggest fireworks display in Michigan that night!); then Sat. June 10, we’ll be at St. Francis’ Cabrini Festival for an afternoon slot. We’re back at Nancy Whiskey in Detroit, on Satuday, June 24. They just had a huge write-up in the Washington Post as one of the best dive bars in America! And if you’ve never been there, YOU MUST come on out and howl with us on June 24! You won’t regret it! In August, we just confirmed playing the main stage at Dearborn’s Summer Homecoming Festival on Aug. 4, then the next day, we head west to South Lyon for the Beer, Brats and Blues Festival! Shaping up to be a hot summer! Now, we just need the weather to do its thing! See you... read more
