detroit contemporary presents Join us Friday October 5 for a special evening of music and friends with The Trouble with Sweeney (Philladelphia), Judah Johnson (detroit), and Flashpapr (ann arbor) The Trouble With Sweeney:: Caught between breezy alt-country and '60s pop sentiment, the songs of The Trouble With Sweeney are self-aware with wry observations about the confused world that surrounds them. Disarming warmth and plain-faced sincerity. Judah Johnson:: This performance finds Detroit's Judah Johnson presenting their melodic, left-of-center art-pop for the first time as quartet. Lots of vibraphone, guitar, melody. Flashpapr:: Ann Arbor's Flashpapr makes the musical equivalent of stabs at piercing the heart of an insomniac's heartbreak and comes really close most of the time.
