Ellen Keyt with  

special guest Deb Fedon

Ellen Keyt is a Detroit-area acoustic singer/songwriter with a big, warm voice and wide-ranging musical inspirations. Featured at the National Women's Music Festival, Detroit Marshall Fields Days of Music and the Ann Arbor Art Fair, Ellen's original work explores social issues, relationships, spiritual journeys, and the experience of just being human and trying to make sense of it all.  Ellen's music tells stories; inspiring, sad and silly stories. Stories are our bridges to each other. Stories are a key to ourselves. Her style is best described as urban folk, rock/blues with lyrical sophistication, folk with an edge, rock with a gentle heart.  Deb Fedon will be accompanying Ellen on the cajon and providing harmonies and background vocals.  http://www.reverbnation.com/#!/EllenKeyt

Russ Glenn

A resident of Detroit, MI, Russ Glenn plays a mix of (mostly) acoustic rock-folk-funk that brings to mind such artists as Jack Johnson and Ben Harper. Russ "write(s) melodic, soothing odes that crawl inside the recesses of your subconscious and root there for days at a time" (Jesse a.k.a. The Vicar www.indoorfireworks.blogspot.com) Russ himself has been described as "a fiery version of Van Morrison" (Green Cafe) with a "Morrissey and Stipe vibe" (Taxi.com). His song writing is insightful and poetic, weaving images and stories that "live in the universal flow of human experience" (Michael Pionkowski- Independent Music Critic). His musical influences range from the folk sounds of Donovan to the punk sound of The Clash. His performances focus on his original music but also include covers of bands and artists like The Velvet Underground, Jack Johnson, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Joe Strummer(The Clash), R.E.M., Van Morrison, John Prine, Bob Marley, Sinead O'Connor, Ben Harper and Red House Painters.
