KALAMAZOO

As Local Spins photographer Derek Ketchum put it, it was a weekend that boasted “a little bit of everything from the future of West Michigan’s music scene in the Kalamazoo Academy of Rock to the folk and bluegrass and blues sounds at the 20th Annual Kalamazoo Loaves and Fishes Thanksgiving Benefit hosted by Kalamazoo Folklife Organization and Trinity Lutheran Church.”

Indeed, Saturday’s Loaves and Fishes event featured “a full house of music fans coming together to benefit the Kalamazoo Loaves & Fishes Food Pantry helping to make sure no one goes hungry this Thanksgiving,” with performances by Dana Scott, Schlitz Creek, Bride of Fleckenstein, Bob Rowe & The Green Valley Boys and Who Hit John?

Earlier in the weekend, the Kalamazoo Academy of Rock flaunted young talent at The Entertainment District; Captain Cat, Brandon Mann & The Reprimand and Bill Clements (playing with Max Brown & Herb Ledbetter) fired up Louie’s Trophy House Grill; and the Mark Lavengood Trio and Front Country brought a bluegrass blitz to Bell’s Brewery.
