The 2018 edition of the Local Spins Calendar is bigger than ever, with 24 Michigan acts featured in dazzling Local Spins concert photos, plus music festival dates. It’s a one-of-a-kind Mitten State Christmas gift.
So many great bands, so many groovy photos, but only 12 months in a year.
Support our coverage of
West Michigan's music scene
That’s the quandary Local Spins faces every year in creating its annual calendar showcasing Michigan bands and solo artists in vibrant concert photos taken by our top-drawer crew of photographers.
So to make it a little easier on us this year, the Local Spins 2018 Calendars feature an extra page of photos so we can spotlight 24 acts — all new for this year — as well as provide a separate, robust list of Michigan music festivals to help you plan your year of musical fun.
And to make things even more fun, the first 25 calendar orders will receive a free CD: the popular “HopCat presents Local Spins Live at River City Studios” album boasting tracks by 12 West Michigan artists.
Of course, as we’ve done every year, a portion of sale proceeds will be donated to Access of West Michigan, which coordinates food pantries for needy families and operates anti-poverty programs in Kent County.
These one-of-a-kind wall calendars make ideal Christmas gifts for all music lovers on your holiday shopping list, a unique way to show that you’re in-the-know when it comes to Michigan’s music scene. And no other calendar features the dates and locations of more than 50 Michigan music festivals.
But get yours now, because there’s only a limited quantity of them available and they sell quickly. Order your calendar online here in the Local Spins Gift Shop.
