"New electric and acoustic rock from the Midwest"

The Grand Rapids band Sweet Japonic, self-proclaimed "masters of feel-good music," performed at the inaugural Rothbury music festival in northern Michigan, and their great live shows appeal to fans of the Dave Matthews Band, Train, John Mayer, Wilco, and more. Sweet Japonic's single "She Was Doin' Fine" has been gaining radio airplay, and they look like a Michigan band that's about ready to break nationally! On tonight's two-band bill they're joined by Daphne Willis, the personable and passionate frontwoman of the riff-driven acoustic rock band, Daphne Willis & Co. Willis has been described as a female Jack Johnson, but below the surface this introspective young artist brings a cutting-edge liveliness to the confessional singer-songwriter tradition that recalls the music of Rickie Lee Jones at the same age. Here's a great chance to get acquainted with a pair of fast-rising bands on the brink of big things!
