Jill Jack has dominated Detroit’s folk/rock scene for the past decade. A woman with a strong drive and ambition, Jill has a voice with a distinct timbre that sets her apart – each year and each album, her voice becomes more clearly defined as uniquely her own.

Her newest CD, “Moon and the Morning After”, is a collection of Jill's most honest, raw, and comfortable songs to date … each song lyrically poignant and drawing musically from folk, country, rock, and gospel roots. “This is my most personally focused record ever – the truest material I have ever written – it’s all from my heart.”

Jill has worked relentlessly for years and has risen to the elite of Detroit's music scene, building a large and loyal fan base that literally stretches from coast to coast (with her website receiving thousands of hits each week). For this singer/songwriter, performing countless shows while balancing all the risks involved between her music career and raising her teenage daughter have really paid off. Jill has produced and released five critically-acclaimed albums (selling well over 15,000 copies), and has won 20 Detroit Music Awards for outstanding vocalist, songwriter, album, and artist across three different genres (Acoustic/Folk, Country, and Pop/Rock). Jill has garnered TEN nominations between the 2006 and 2007 DMA's.

She also performed at the 2008 Ann Arbor Folk Festival with Emmy Lou Harris, Buddy Miller, Patty Griffin, Shawn Colvin, and more.

Since 2001 the Cats and the Fiddler have been performing for dozens of venues each year throughout the Metro-Detroit area and beyond. Parade of Stars Bluegrass Festival, The Ark of Ann Arbor, Mama's Coffeehouse, Farmington Founders Festival, Milford Memories, and Whispering Winds Bluegrass Festival are just a handful of the many places where the Cats and the Fiddler have amazed audiences with their exceptional musical talent. 

In addition to appearing on television and radio stations such as WDIV, WJR, WDET, WCXI and WCSX, the Cats and the Fiddler were the winners of the 2005 Meijer Kid Talent Quest. The Cats and the Fiddler released their first CD "Just Warmin' Up" in 2005 when they were all just 10 years old. Their second CD, "Down the Fast Lane," was released in 2007.

Floyd King & the Bushwackers is the J. Geils Band of Folk Music.  You’ll enjoy songs you can stomp your feet to.

Songs about the “Castaway Bar” where the boys and girls get together for a Blue Grass stomp. Songs that go from a deal-gone-bad with the Devil to climbing to the top of the mountain in glory. A spine-tingling version of “Hard Times Come Again No More.”  Heaven and hell, life and death, love and war, vocal harmony with instrumental fire, all in one show.

Dennis Kingbury, Maggie Ferguson, Jim Bizer and Denise Marie Stein join together for a performance you won’t forget.
