BANDS & MUSICIANS & ENTERTAINMENT (schedule to be announced)
> Funktion - Don't show up to a live show unless you've come to get down; this stuff is additive-free, high-octane dance fuel. And due to the fact that Funktion's sole mission in life is to make you shake your booty, trying to stand still might cause you a few problems.
> Heatbox - This One Man Entertainment System creates beats and builds songs of Motown, A cappalla, R&B, Hip Hop, Soul and Funk from the ground up. He uses a Boss Loop Station RC-50 and a DigiTech Vocal 300 to create his songs. Recording each part as he goes, Heatbox's music is live and in the moment. Using no tracks, samples, or pre-recorded music, each song and performance is distinctly unique.
> Crane Wives utilizes three-part vocal harmonies, eclectic instrumentation, and a passion for songcraft to create organic music that is both accessible and innovative. Each live show features contagious energy as well as original music that ranges from whisper quiet ballads to danceable grooves.
> Whitey Morgan and the 78s are a Honky Tonk band from Flint, Michigan. They haven't re-invented the wheel, they just picked it up and started it rolling all over again.
> Dragon Wagon - With multi-instrumentalist Rich Delcamp, Michael Bustos on bass, Fritz McGirr on percussion and the amazing Diana Ladio on fiddle, Dragon Wagon's live performance thrives with originality, humor and expert musicianship. Michigan Roots music at its finest, the band's sound can be described as bluegrass-folk rock with a shot of Irish Whiskey. Hold on to your hats and get ready for a boot-stomping good time!
> Rootstand - For over ten years, Rootstand has set course from the uplands and urban jungles of Michigan to seek their fortune on the seas and sounds of the roots of America and beyond. From fair shores to foul weather, Rootstand has remained stout-hearted; an honor that is reflected in the strength of its crew.
> Laith Al-Saadi has been a staple of the Detroit music scene for most of his adult life. His genre-defying musicianship has earned him spots opening for everyone from Buddy Guy to Taj Mahal to The Yardbirds and BB King. In 2006, Al-Saadi was crowned "King of the Blues" for the Northern Region of the United States by Guitar Center, making him one of the "Top 4 Blues Guitarists in the Country."
> Kielbasa Kings - From modern hits turned into polkas, to traditional Polish tunes, an original waltz and polka gems from the past this is what the Kielbasa Kings are all about.
> DJ Dominate - After being involved in the wedding scene and acquiring his first set of DJ equipment, DJD started his club experience inside Shimmers Nightclub in Traverse City, Michigan, in the summer of 2010 and ventured on a new music love in creating mash up tracks, taking mixed genre songs and combining them into new creations.
> Grand Traverse Pipes & Drums - Founded in 1974, The Grand Traverse Pipes and Drums have entertained crowds throughout the Northern Michigan region. The haunting sound of the pipes, the crisp thunder of the drums, and the flash of the kilts is an unmistakable delight to the eyes, as well as the ears.
> Silent Disco - "Disco isn't dead. It just went quiet. Just walk into a Silent Disco event and see for yourself: a couple hundred people, two DJs spinning, and a dance floor filled with gyrating dancers in total silence."
> Martha Marti Johnson

As with past festivals, the weekend will be a celebration of the craft microbrews, food, music, art and culture that make our region unique, as well as the natural beauty of the Village and the many wonderful merchants and residents who reside there.

ABOUT US
This will be our 6th Traverse City Microbrew & Music Festival, yet another event built to celebrate the fine craft of microbrews and of music, and also to financially support non-profits, artists and musicians, brewers, and small businesses. To date, the Traverse City Microbrew & Music Festivals have raised over $30,000.00 for local nonprofits. None of this would be possible without our team or our volunteers, a group of supportive community members that has grown to over 1,000.
In the three years since we, Sam and Abby, moved back to Traverse City (we were both born and raised here), Porterhouse Productions, along with our collaborators and partners, has sold/donated/comped over 40,000 tickets to community concerts and events. When you purchase a ticket to a Porterhouse Productions event, you support and give to so much more than just the event which you are attending: every week throughout the year we volunteer time and energy to cultural activities and programs through The Good Work Collective, a space that we've made available to our community and its non-profits, organizations, artists, musicians, youth, and businesses. Your support means such a great deal to so many. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to each of you.
THE SMALL PRINT

3. Please note, Porterhouse Productions is not responsible for drink ticket refunds. Last call will be at 9:30 PM. Don't buy more drink tickets than you can use!
4. Advance ticket price does not reflect outlet or online handling fees. We encourage you to purchase your tickets in advance. Even though we advertise a "Day Of" ticket price, there is always a chance the event can sell out beforehand.
5. In addition to microbrew samples, festival attendees will have access to a full lineup of musical talent, food and beverage vendors, merchandise, festival activities and special events. For this reason, discounted tickets are not available for designated drivers or non-drinkers. Thank you for your understanding.
