The Schrock Brothers, with Peter “Madcat” Ruth and Andy Wilson
What happens when some of the finest acoustic musicians in West Michigan gather with two of Michigan's harmonica virtuosos. The Schrock Brothers - Mark, and sons Jasen and Andrew, together with well-known percussionist Mike Shimmin will be joined by Peter "Madcat" Ruth and Andy Wilson for a night of high-energy songs and tunes.
Note: This show was originally scheduled to be held at UrbanBeat in Old Town, Lansing. Due to demand, it has been moved to the larger ULC.
“The joy is palpable with every note played, an experience that delights in intimate listening and a constant stream of dancing. It all makes for an uplifting, dynamic listening experience. The Schrock Bros continue to double down on that winning strategy of crafting wonderful music and surrounding themselves with good people and great musicians. Each track captures the spirit of their live performances with every chorus build and stellar solo. It’s no small wonder why so many folks made this soulful, rootsy band their focal point for the summer with “Faith In Love” added to the catalog.” – Dutcher Snedeker, Local Spins
“Their versatility to cover multiple genres is a thing to behold and a night spent listening to them will not soon be forgotten. Book them, see a show, I promise you won’t be disappointed.” – Paul Brown, Gopherwood Concerts, Cadillac.
