This Saturday June 20th, from Noon - 5pm at The Loving Touch in Ferndale is the Michigan Music and Merch Swap. John from New Grenada came up with the idea and I think it is a good one. John’s blurb about it goes like this:

“Detroit area record labels, poster artists, t shirt printers and more will be at the Loving Touch in Ferndale, selling their goods. Pick up new releases from current Detroit bands, or find rare out of print stuff you may have missed. Admission is free. Bring friends. Buy records. Support Detroit’s music community!”

I’ll be there selling Suburban Sprawl and Quack goodies, and everything will be marked down for the occasion. The Warehouse Sale will be in full effect with the option to buy individual releases for $1. Don’t want 10 CDs? Just buy one for a dollar. What a mad deal.

I won’t go on and on about this, but I will say this is a relevent and healthy event for musicians and labels in Michigan. While everyone is going out of business and the world seems so horrible, people are still trying to make jams and sell them. The Michigan Music and Merch Swap is a fun way to support local artists and businesses who choose to function in Michigan.
