Dave Boutette |
 |
| Songs of highway hijinks and wildcat oil drillers in the Michigan
woods are as likely to be heard as old favorites that have been in your
head and heart for years. For Boutette, it’s the sharing of songs that
holds all the magic. Whether banging out a set of saloon songs at a
Michigan watering hole, or settling back for an evening of singing at a
fire ring afterward, Dave Boutette will hold his listeners as long as they
keep the lights on or until the rain starts. |

Conga Se Menne |
 |
| The musical style of Marquette, Michigan's Conga Se Menne is
impossible to pigeon hole, running the gamut of Blues, Funk, Latin,
Reggae, Rock, Caribbean beats and ethnic Finnish sounds. Island beat
percussion blends smoothly with mellifluos keyboards, sonorous horns and
big shouldered guitar work - all mixing with an influence of traditional
styles. While the lyrics are geared for fun, the quality of their sound is
no laughing matter. DerrelSyria's original songs carry the flavor of
Michigans Upper Peninsula in lyrical silliness and the spirit of its
hearty residence in musical excellence. |
