Here in Detroit, we’re blessed with countless great artists spanning all genres. When you include visiting bands, touring festivals and our renowned performing venues, the verdict is indisputable: Motown is one of music’s critical hubs.

• Keeping the Demons at Bay: Sleigh Bells
• MT Staff’s “First and Best” Concerts
