The challenges facing local news organizations are very real. That's why reader support matters more than ever. If you believe independent journalism matters, make a contribution today and help us reach our summer fundraising goal of $15,000 by August 9.
A cover charge seems fairly reasonable for a live musical performance, but many of today’s dance nights provide zero visual stimulation. That is, unless someone in the crowd gets drunk enough to strip and/or vomit in the middle of the dance floor. So why would you pay someone to push play on a laptop? Fortunately, this will never be an issue with Detroit native Jeremy Ellis (a.k.a. Ayro). Not only is his entire set a freestyle of electrified funk, nu jazz, and deep house complete with live keyboard and mpc drumming, but Ellis also sings, dances, and improvises over his creations, crafting new songs while remixing his old ones and adding songs by other artists.
