| April was an exciting month at 4thFridays. Our special theme
and guests were women rock and that they did!
****
SiloamPool
Acid Jazz Artist SiloamPool soothed the audience with her poetic flare
and classic Euro style. She shared songs from her latest release
Colors of Black and White.
Kelly Smith
Unfortunately, singer and guitarist Pony Baldwin took ill just a week
before the performance and was forced to cancel. But Comedienne Kelly
Smith stepped up to the plate and was kind enough to fill in for Pony.
And while Kelly admits she’s no singer, she certainly is no stranger to
the stage. She has performed at clubs across the country including
The Comedy Club in Long Beach, California and was a comedienne for The
Disney channel’s Coming On.
Chris Maurer
4thFridays also added the Poet’s Corner. Chris Maurer who has an extensive
background in theatre shared the writings of local poet Ronald F. Shreve.
It added a very nice touch to the evening.
rufus harris
And last but not least our very own houseband, rufus harris, closed
the evening with their extraordinary rock and soul fusion.
If you were looking for some where to go last month, 4thFridays was
definitely the place to be! But there’s more to come in May.

Coming Up in May...
Two unique instrumental acts take the stage.
Scott
Loudon
Scott Loudon shares music from his latest release River of Jerusalem.
Scott takes listeners on a journey of the heart and spirit with what can
be best described as eclectic world music. He started playing guitar
and writing music at the age of 15. Since that time, his passion
for exotic sounds and unique rhythms has grown. He’s currently pursuing
a career in film scoring and is working on a Latin jazz album with film
composer, Terry Herald. He’ll also release a solo electronic folk
album soon.
Zamar
Contemporary Jazz Group – Zamar “Instruments of Praise” is quickly
taking the Metro Detroit area by storm. The word Zamar means to praise
and worship God upon musical instruments. This talented ensemble features
six seasoned, professional musicians who have trained in jazz, classical,
gospel, and rock music. They’ll refresh you with their celestial sound
on May 24th.
rufus harris
And of course we’ll listen to the sounds of rufus harris. You
