Join us for a free happy hour concert!Southeast Michigan native Gabe Peacock uses classic rock and folk influences mixed with upbeat and rhythmic guitar to create indie folk and alternative originals meant to catch the ear and tell stories. Inspired by a wide array of music spanning from classic artists such as Bob Dylan and John Prine to new wave indie bands such as Flipturn and Houndmouth, Gabe aims to create a variety of unique and enjoyable songs that appeal to many.
Gabe first entered the music scene in East Lansing while attending Michigan State University. While there, his love for songwriting and performing grew as he cofounded East Lansing band Pummelo and started experimenting with attention-grabbing guitar leads and blunt expressive lyricism. The years after graduation would see the growth of Peacock as a songwriter as he traveled, starting to create the songs that would grow to become tracks on his first studio release. Set to release in 2024, Gabe’s studio EP I Promise You There’s More explores the realities and challenges of establishing oneself as a young adult in the modern world. Now temporarily back in the Ann Arbor area, Gabe hopes to release and share music that could act as the start of a long musical adventure.
Hailing from the Ann Arbor area, the Pontiac Trail Blazers have been the house bluegrass band for Detroit Street Filling Station since 2017. They are often joined by a bevy of special guests and focus on the beautiful harmonies and acoustic prowess that are unique to their Bluegrass roots. With a deep repertoire of traditional standards, originals, and unique covers, the Trail Blazers will keep you guessing with unexpected tunes and arrangements every week. Joining them this week will be Joe Vega on mandolin.
$10 cover.
