March Highlights


What a time we had at the 4thFridays kickoff in March.  Comedy Duo Brian Fontaine & Myron Bledsoe who make up The Real Deal, dazzled the audience with illusions, ventriloquism and dance.

The highlight of their act concluded with a performance by Leroy Jackson, fictional cousin of pop star Michael Jackson.  Myron, a professional dancer, showed off his MJ moves and left audiences cheering for more.  A clever routine and really funny duo!!
The Real Deal


Troy Michael

We listened to the cool sounds of Troy Michael.  The Christian band from Pontiac, Michigan, fuses Gospel and Blues stylings to form a funky, smooth sound. The Band was tight – the lyrics absolutely inspiring.  Troy Michael delivered an unforgettable encore performance.

rufus harris

And of course, the 4thFridays house band, rufus harris, wowed and inspired the audience with their outstanding rock and soul fusion.  The band rocked the house with original sounds and a funky 4thFridays theme song. People were around well after 11pm.  Yep! 4thFridays was the place to be last month.  Nice lighting, great sound, and a big screen showing up close and personal interviews with the artists.
And there’s more to come next month.
