Piano, Paintings, and Pilgrim the Cat: Inside the World of Pocket Vinyl
Pocket Vinyl is a band that has accomplished a lot in their time. Fastest time to tour in all 50 states, comics, paintings, and at times it feels like they're still just getting started.

No Stitches Required: A Conversation with Detroit’s Musical Veterans The Needmores
The Needmores are a band that stands apart from most. They're a part of the life cycle of life-long musicians where they are local legends, who have all crossed paths with fame, but never set that as the end goal. They have all been playing in and out of Detroit for over 20 years and have collectively been in dozens of bands. But this time was a little different, they wanted to play with people who got it, other veterans like them. That's how The Needmores was born. They rele
