November 19 – 7 Million Jigawatts CD Release – Here’s a first, take a small art gallery, fill it with people, serve drinks and sushi, and toss in a rock band for good measure. Excellently presented in Kaiser Suidan’s Next Step Studios Gallery in Ferndale, the intimate space worked well for 7 Million Jigawatts’ Taking Flight CD Release. 7MJ gave us a boisterous combo of rock and soul including tunes from the new CD. Check them out if you haven’t already.

Hard Rock Cafe & Dream Town Media Partner to Benefit Toys for Tots
Featuring: 7 Million Jigawatts wsg/Kevin Roney
Live at the Hard Rock Café Detroit
Thursday December 10th
Detroit MI – Dream Town Media presents a evening filled with music for a great cause. Come out and help bring a smile to a child this holiday season at the Toys for Tots fundraiser at the Hard Rock Café on Thursday December 10th.
Toys for Tots is a great and simple way to spread some holiday cheer this year to those who are less fortunate. This program which was founded in 1947 by the United States Marine Corp. is truly a blessing to those in need that may not be able to provide their children with a gift for the holidays. The mission is to collect new, unwrapped toys and to distribute them as gifts to needy children.

7MJ Motor City Rah Rah's & BZ the More Cowbell King
Much love to the Armstrong’s who hosted an amazing
Dream Cruise party. The crowd cruised in their classic 1975 Corvettte’s, old Model A Ford’s and classic Dodge R/T’s. They stuffed themselves with
Chicken Shack and drained the keg before the sun went down. 7MJ performed an evening infused with rock n soul music.
The Motor City Rah Rah’s stopped by to get the party rolling.
Vivian George, local singer songwriter and Julie Hecker from
Punk Fitness Detroit, danced with the band and had the hosts on their toes.
