Tecumseh Indie Fest Debuts October 27th
A new “Fest” hits the Detroit area this fall. Born out of the “boredom” of life in small town Michigan, the Tecumseh Indie Fest 2007 will make its debut at the Tecumseh Center For The Arts in Downtown Tecumseh, Michigan on October 27th beginning at 6:30 pm. The local band from Tecumseh Michigan, “Ace On A Detour”, had finally become frustrated with having to travel to other areas for entertainment. According to the band’s manager, Matt Mejia, “This is actually the first year of Indie Fest. It came about initially because the local band that I work with, Ace On A Detour (AOAD), and I were bored in our small town. We wanted something to do here. We're tired of going to other places to have fun. So we set up this show” At first, looking to garner some publicity for their band, AOAD quickly realized that something bigger was brewing from within. Mejia explains, “We also decided to do something to help people. We are donating a large portion of our revenue to a local Habitat For Humanity project. A family lost their house in a fire and that same week, the father of the house was in a car accident and was paralyzed. We felt this to be a very good cause, so we are working with many organizations to make this show happen in order to help this family.” Well Dr2 thinks this is a “Good Cause” also, and with an “all star” line up like this one, it should be a huge success. Tickets are $10 in advance, $12 at the door, though you will probably want to bring more money to buy band merch and food. There are plans to have a live DVD/CD made of the show, so wear your favorite clothes in case you wind up in any of the shots. Tickets are available from the TCA box office or by phone @517-423-6617.
