This "Handlebar Jam" thing tomorrow evening looks like a most worthy event, chock full of future Detroit superstars. You'll be supporting a very good cause that's trying to help people not get foreclosed on and kicked out of their houses, and seriously a chunk of these performers will be international superstars someday soon and you can say you saw them in an intimate setting long before they came back to town to headline the Fillmore. There's a sliding scale $10-$20 admission, and it's at the Jam Handy.
Come celebrate the last day of The Tricycle Collective's campaign to help Detroit families save their homes with an evening of incredible local performers in an amazing venue.
