Hillman, MI – “Fly in July Midsummer Blow Out!” 7 Million Jigawatts celebrates sun, summer and fun! Detroit’s favorite Rock n Soul Party Band, 7 Million Jigawatts returns to Northern Michigan for another summer concert. After their recently successful performance at the 107.7 The Bay Summer Concert Series, 7 Million Jigawatts fans have been calling non-stop requesting the group return to their Northern Michigan roots. 7MJ sought another opportunity to perform in their hometown. Hi-Way Bar proprietor, Jim Stoddard, offered the band use of the parking lot behind his club in downtown Hillman to hold their All Ages, Free Concert.
Two 7 Million Jigawatts members grew up in Alpena, Melissa Behring & Nathan Montgomery are very excited to reunite with their friends and families for this special evening of music. Performing hits off their recent CD, ‘Taking Flight’ featuring the single, “(I’ve Got You) Covered” from the 2010 Mustang advertising campaign and “Angel (Dressed to Kill)” the recent 107.7 fm favorite, this evening is sure to be one that you do not want to miss. 7 Million Jigawatts performance offers up an enticing mix of rock and soul that tantalizes your auditory senses that can be enjoyed by fans of all ages.
Come be part of this unique event that will stimulate your senses and get your feet tapping. The event, Fly in July Midsummer Blow Out, runs from 7:30-9 pm on 7/31/2010, is open to all ages and free to the public. The Hi-Way Bar is located at 231 State Street in downtown Hillman.
For those of you Metro Detroiter’s looking for a place to enjoy the beauty of Lake Saint Clair and do not own a boat to escape the heat of the city on, 7 Million Jigawatts has found the perfect place for you. At the end of Metro Parkway, AKA Big Beaver or 16 Mile, where the road meets Jefferson, swing a right and head down about 1/2 a mile. On the lake side, there’s a big banquet center called Gino’s Surf… and attached to it is the most killer patio bar called Luna Kai.
Plenty of dock space but get there early...
They have a lovely tiki bar, slips to dock your boat, spaces to park your car and loads of patio furniture to park your butt on. This place has all the perks of a beach side bar including great food, cold drinks and hot chicks.
7 Million Jigawatts returns to Luna Kai on Friday August 13.
Thanks to everyone who came out and supported 7 Million Jigawatts performances in Alpena this past weekend. It was great to return to Melissa & Nate’s hometown to play on Thunder Bay. The clouds parted and the rain stopped just in time for the Bay View concert to start. We met so many new people and saw alot of our old friends too. Wrapping up the Alpena Blues Festival later that night was certainly a treat. We jammed some blues tunes for the crowd and got everyone dancing til they turned up the lights. We are looking forward to playing in Alpena again very soon.
Special thanks to 107.7 the Bay for spinning the 7MJ tunes, “I’ve Got You Covered” and “Angel Dressed to Kill”. Please call the radio station at (989) 354-4611 and request that they keep playing our songs.
We are grateful for your support and couldn’t do it without you!
