Kid Rock Goes All Out for Orlando Calling Festival 11/13/11(Photos & Review)
http://kidrock.com/ http://twitter.com/kidrock The taxi drivers of Orlando informed us that Kid Rock rented out the famous Florida strip joint “The Dollhouse” for some pre-performance debauchery the night he got into town. While this is purely speculation, let’s hope he squeezed in some deserved downtime in Orlando because his spectacular Sunday performance called for it. For a Detroiter, it’s uncanny to travel down South and see hordes of Southerners rockin’ “Made in Detroit” gear.

Iron & Wine at Orlando Calling 11/12/11 (Photos)
My camera has a love affair with Iron & Wine. Perhaps the more a performance inspires me, the better the pictures turn out. Sam Beam is brilliant live. Their set could be described as: clever, stoic, risqué, rich, fluid, and thought-provoking. New album, Kiss Each Other Clean, in stores now –http://wbr.fm/keocitunes Websites http://www.ironandwine.com http://www.playedlastnight.com http://www.youtube.com/ironandwine http://www.twitter.com/ironandwine http://www.passingafternoon.com

Jessica Hernandez & the Deltas Play at Orlando Calling Festival 11/12/11 (Photos)
Jessica Hernandez & The Deltas traveled from Detroit to play at the Orlando Calling festival last weekend. The group put on a vibrant performance that generated a lot of positive buzz throughout the festival. Local Detroiters can find the group performing at various venues around the city. One of the best places to see them perform is at The Bakery Loft above The Mexicantown bakery. Jessica’s family owns both Armando’s Mexican Restaurant and The Mexicantown Bakery. Another interesting fact about Jessica is that she makes her own performance outfits! http://Jessicahernandez.net http://twitter.com/#!/DetroitJess http://myspace.com/jhernandezmusick http://jessicahernandezthedeltas.bandcam… http://artistdata.sonicbids.com/jessica-… http://www.purevolume.com/JessicaHernandez http://www.reverbnation.com/jessicaherna… Here are a few bonus pictures from Jessica’s performance at the Detroit Music Awards!
