JAZZ, FUNK & BLUES
The Motorcity 3
Rodney Walker (guitar), Paul Price (drums), and Rick Mickens (bass) are three experienced musicians from Metro Detroit who enjoy playing jazz, funk, and blues. Each member of the Motorcity 3 has performed in other ensembles and groups locally and nationally for many years in the jazz, rock, funk, and blues genres, but it’s the jazz format where they thrive. No matter the genre, they strive to get people movin' and groovin'. As they perform a variety of swinging jazz and jazzy funk & blues standards, listening for the influences is part of the fun.

CAJUN & ZYDECO
Creole du Nord Trio
With Manchester-based bandleader Mark Palms at the helm on accordian and fiddle, the Creole Du Nord Trio beautifully re-creates the irresistibly lively sound of Cajun folk music with a mix of musical history, fine musicianship, and pure dance-floor joy. Creole du Nord’s sound can be traced to southwestern Louisiana. They play Zydeco, Cajun, Creole & other traditional music that suggests sounds from pre-mass media Americana. It’s what the band refers to as "down home sound for sawing or two-steppin’ on a sawdust floor." This concert is part of the Michigan Medicine Gifts of Art Summer Courtyard Concert Series.
