East coast born and raised, midwest influenced and rooted, Anna p.s. continues to captivate audiences across the nation with storytelling, introspective lyrics, and the humor encompassed in the everyday and the mundane of the human experience. They have been dubbed a one-person-symphony for incorporating many instruments into their live performance using flute, guitar, foot percussion, and vocals. Years of private classical lessons and band competitions form the foundation of what they're doing now. With technical acumen acquired during an early career as an audio engineer, and a humble but confident stage presence groomed as a founding member of indie roots rock band Shiny Shiny Black, Anna stepped out as a solo musician in 2014. They've been on the road intermittently since the debut of their LP Umbrella in July of 2016, showcasing their signature sonic blend of melancholy, hope, and resilience.
As many artists can relate, Anna experienced their fair share of loneliness and lack of belonging as a young person. While it’s not a time in their life they cares to go back to, those years of yearning for connection inform much of their songwriting. Anna’s music helps their listeners feel less alone, but not with false cheeriness. Their listeners know from their songs that they've been there, and felt what they’re feeling. They are able to form an empathic bond with their listeners, weaving intimacy and connection from the strings of their guitar and the soul in their words.
In their twenties, Anna was one of the founding members of the roots rock band Shiny Shiny Black. They spent several years playing with the successful indie band before embarking on their solo career, and their former bandmates have deep respect and affection for Anna: “Anna's songs fill you with a sense of longing, of friendship, and community. Dark and warm vocals complement lilting acoustic melodies—creating the perfect moment in which to reflect, to mourn, to live with hope in your heart. We were honored to share the stage as bandmates and happy now to see their own project take wing.”
Throughout this time, Anna also worked as a sound engineer for live music venues; that technical knowledge has aided them greatly not only on tour, but in the production of their album Umbrella. The tracks on Umbrella showcase Anna’s rich, warm vocals and deeply personal lyrics. These are songs with dirt under their nails from working in the soil, and grass stains on their feet from running out into a summer rainstorm, breathless and weary and yet full of life.
Anna's songs translate beautifully to their live shows, where their gentle but unyielding voice, simple but vibrant guitar, and lilting flute make every show feel like an intimate living room concert. They have an easy rapport with their crowd, using humor and storytelling to set the tone for their songs. They’ll even surprise listeners at some shows by interspersing their own music with an eclectic selection of cover tunes, ranging from Over the Rhine to Corinne Bailey Rae.
The song “Free” on Umbrella starts out, “I want to be with the sun and the green, and the wild things beneath my feet.” Anna’s songs could all be said to have wild things beneath their feet, full of life even as they know the hurts life can bring. Whether sharing sunny skies or offering an umbrella, Anna will keep translating life’s ups and downs into songs that help their listeners feel less alone.
Anna released their second album, In The Void, in July 2019 on both CD and Vinyl, putting on a collaborative show with Goshen's own Improv troupe. The album itself was a collaboration with long time musician friend Tony Eckenrode. It departs from Umbrella with fuller instrumentation and production work.
Their most recent album of original music, 11 Songs Till Sunday, was released in November of 2023 at Goshen Brewing Company, sharing the stage with local legends Sonny Carreño on percussion and Bryan Chris on bass. This album gets much closer to what they sound like in concert, with a surprise at the end.
Anna currently lives on on the road, traversing much of the USA throughout the year. They are also gradually making a home in the woods in the often forgotten upper peninsula of Michigan.

Chris Sterr is a multifaceted guitar player and vocalist. With roots that run as far back as the delta and Chicago blues, to the Englishman whom reinvigorated it in the 1960's, to the experimental and improvisational sounds of Jeff Beck, Bill Frisell, John Scofield, to the uncompromising pop-rock sensibility of Ryan Adams and Beck, he embraces and performs a wide array of music.
Born in Detroit, he embraced the sounds of The Funk Brothers-era Motown, and grew up with parents with exquisite taste. The Beatles, The Moody Blues, Cream, Pink Floyd and Moby Grape (just to name a few) were a huge part of shaping an early musical palette, as well as creating a musical and sonic frame of reference that would shape his taste and vision for years to come.
Having toured regionally as well as nationally for ten years with his Detroit-based band, Bump, Chris now resides in Traverse City, Michigan since 2010. When not performing on his own, he performs with many other performers and artists such as his trio, as well as Chicago-based, Stolen Silver. His latest project is The Pocket, a Traverse City-based 4-piece inflecting a fusion of Jazz fusion, rock, blues, and soul. The Pocket holds a residency at Kilkenny's Irish Public House every Wednesday.
Sterr's solo show includes both guitar and synth sounds, and accompanies himself with live loops both for atmosphere and backing tracks.... See MoreSee Less
A long time ago, at the dawn of the Atomic Age, a succession of no-good punks and ill-mannered teenagers took the best of American roots music — hard-partying honky tonk country, searing gutbucket blues and lonesome hillbilly twang — and distilled it into a potent moonshine known as rockabilly. This combustible formula, passed down through the generations, forms the heart of the revved-up stylings of Delilah DeWylde.
Delilah DeWylde got her start in 2004. Just like rockabilly originators Johnny Cash, Bill Haley and Carl Perkins, this Michigander cut her teeth on steel-guitar driven country in the style popularized by Hank Williams, Ernest Tubb and Webb Pierce. But the draw of the big beat was irresistible, and over time the band’s approach has become sharper and tighter. Not self-consciously retro, Delilah remains committed to hand-crafted American music that stands at the crossroads of creativity and craftsmanship, liberally drawing from honky tonk country, rockabilly and surf music Fender Amp Bandleader Delilah DeWylde (upright bass/lead vocals) is veteran of the West Michigan music scene and an alumna of rockabilly institution DangerVille. Her out-sized stage presence is the centerpiece of the show — one minute singing sweetly, the next slapping her bass into submission.
Next to the sound and fury of Miss Delilah stands cool character Lee Harvey on electric guitar. His serious demeanor on-stage reveals his reverence for the precision and technique of the “original” guitar gods—the likes of Paul Burlison, Billy Byrd, Cliff Gallup, Grady Martin, Dick Dale, Luther Perkins, Scotty Moore and Don Rich. Taking their task seriously, this trio plies its trade the old-fashioned way – live and in person, logging more than 120 gigs a year throughout the Midwest and beyond. The band also has recorded three LPs (as they used to call ’em): 2008’s Honky Tonk Heart, 2010’s The Price You Pay and Win My Love - recorded in 2012.... See MoreSee Less
The Whiskey Charmers create their own brand of dusty Americana, with melancholy guitar lines weaving through vocals that don’t try to break your heart, but somehow always do.
They’ve won multiple Detroit Music Awards, and their lonesome sound caught Sony Entertainment’s attention, landing a placement in a bar scene of the video game Detroit: Become Human (2018), which has sold over eleven million copies and introduced their music to fans worldwide. Since 2015, they’ve released albums steadily, most recently Streetlights, which Ken Capobianco of The Boston Globe calls “some of their most compelling songs, filled with yearning, melancholy, and tentative optimism.”
The Charmers are currently recording their sixth full-length album in Detroit and Nashville, set to release by the end of 2026. They’ll be hitting the road this May with a tour down south, and in July, heading out west to Wyoming and Montana.... See MoreSee Less

Levi Britton is an indie/folk/rock artist who hails from Traverse City, Michigan. Growing up around music sparked his drive to make it his profession. At age 20 Levi moved to Chicago, playing down in the subways, Potbelly restaurants, and any gig he could find.

In 2011, Levi and DTL band mate Dan Myers formed Stolen Silver, releasing two albums—most recently in June 2014. Stolen Silver has been touring with actor Gary Sinise and The Lieutenant Dan Band, playing stadiums and military bases in support of U.S. troops and their families.
In addition to playing with Stolen Silver, Levi launched a solo career at a whole new level in 2014.

Featuring veteran players from the Midwest festival circuit, the band delivers songs that feel both road-worn and urgent, driven by deep pocket rhythms, rich harmonies, and a relentless commitment to the groove.
1000 Watt Prophets is a band that has always strived to rise above. Born out of a 20+ year friendship and musical alliance between Zak Bunce (vocals/guitar) and Denny Richards (bass/vocals), the group has worked its way up from duo shows at small venues to a full-band lineup playing festivals and concert series throughout their home base of Northwestern Michigan.
2025 became a banner year for the group. They began taking a more serious approach to songwriting, drummer Sean Reisig (drums/vocals) passed the tenured mark, ending what had been a rotating lineup, and the band added multi-instrumentalist Brett McDowell (fiddle/sax/keys/vocals) to bring some extra musical color to the mix.
The band has evolved into an Original Soul-Drenched Roots Rock band with a hint of Backwoods Fire. November 2025 marks the online release of two original songs, "Gravity" and "Paint the Moon," recorded in a secret Northern Michigan studio lair, with a full album currently in the works for 2026.

Friday Happy Hour w/Anna P.S.
6535 First St, Lake Ann, MI Map
East coast born and raised, midwest influenced and rooted, Anna p.s. continues to captivate audiences across the nation with storytelling, introspective lyrics, and the humor encompassed in the everyday and the mundane of the human experience. They have been dubbed a one-person-symphony for incorporating many instruments into their live performance using flute, guitar, foot percussion, and vocals. Years of private classical lessons and band competitions form the foundation of what they're doing now. With technical acumen acquired during an early career as an audio engineer, and a humble but confident stage presence groomed as a founding member of indie roots rock band Shiny Shiny Black, Anna stepped out as a solo musician in 2014. They've been on the road intermittently since the debut of their LP Umbrella in July of 2016, showcasing their signature sonic blend of melancholy, hope, and resilience.
As many artists can relate, Anna experienced their fair share of loneliness and lack of belonging as a young person. While it’s not a time in their life they cares to go back to, those years of yearning for connection inform much of their songwriting. Anna’s music helps their listeners feel less alone, but not with false cheeriness. Their listeners know from their songs that they've been there, and felt what they’re feeling. They are able to form an empathic bond with their listeners, weaving intimacy and connection from the strings of their guitar and the soul in their words.
In their twenties, Anna was one of the founding members of the roots rock band Shiny Shiny Black. They spent several years playing with the successful indie band before embarking on their solo career, and their former bandmates have deep respect and affection for Anna: “Anna's songs fill you with a sense of longing, of friendship, and community. Dark and warm vocals complement lilting acoustic melodies—creating the perfect moment in which to reflect, to mourn, to live with hope in your heart. We were honored to share the stage as bandmates and happy now to see their own project take wing.”
Throughout this time, Anna also worked as a sound engineer for live music venues; that technical knowledge has aided them greatly not only on tour, but in the production of their album Umbrella. The tracks on Umbrella showcase Anna’s rich, warm vocals and deeply personal lyrics. These are songs with dirt under their nails from working in the soil, and grass stains on their feet from running out into a summer rainstorm, breathless and weary and yet full of life.
Anna's songs translate beautifully to their live shows, where their gentle but unyielding voice, simple but vibrant guitar, and lilting flute make every show feel like an intimate living room concert. They have an easy rapport with their crowd, using humor and storytelling to set the tone for their songs. They’ll even surprise listeners at some shows by interspersing their own music with an eclectic selection of cover tunes, ranging from Over the Rhine to Corinne Bailey Rae.
The song “Free” on Umbrella starts out, “I want to be with the sun and the green, and the wild things beneath my feet.” Anna’s songs could all be said to have wild things beneath their feet, full of life even as they know the hurts life can bring. Whether sharing sunny skies or offering an umbrella, Anna will keep translating life’s ups and downs into songs that help their listeners feel less alone.
Anna released their second album, In The Void, in July 2019 on both CD and Vinyl, putting on a collaborative show with Goshen's own Improv troupe. The album itself was a collaboration with long time musician friend Tony Eckenrode. It departs from Umbrella with fuller instrumentation and production work.
Their most recent album of original music, 11 Songs Till Sunday, was released in November of 2023 at Goshen Brewing Company, sharing the stage with local legends Sonny Carreño on percussion and Bryan Chris on bass. This album gets much closer to what they sound like in concert, with a surprise at the end.
Anna currently lives on on the road, traversing much of the USA throughout the year. They are also gradually making a home in the woods in the often forgotten upper peninsula of Michigan.

Lake Ann Brewing Co.6535 First StLake Ann, MI49650 Map
Chris Sterr is a multifaceted guitar player and vocalist. With roots that run as far back as the delta and Chicago blues, to the Englishman whom reinvigorated it in the 1960's, to the experimental and improvisational sounds of Jeff Beck, Bill Frisell, John Scofield, to the uncompromising pop-rock sensibility of Ryan Adams and Beck, he embraces and performs a wide array of music.
Born in Detroit, he embraced the sounds of The Funk Brothers-era Motown, and grew up with parents with exquisite taste. The Beatles, The Moody Blues, Cream, Pink Floyd and Moby Grape (just to name a few) were a huge part of shaping an early musical palette, as well as creating a musical and sonic frame of reference that would shape his taste and vision for years to come.
Having toured regionally as well as nationally for ten years with his Detroit-based band, Bump, Chris now resides in Traverse City, Michigan since 2010. When not performing on his own, he performs with many other performers and artists such as his trio, as well as Chicago-based, Stolen Silver. His latest project is The Pocket, a Traverse City-based 4-piece inflecting a fusion of Jazz fusion, rock, blues, and soul. The Pocket holds a residency at Kilkenny's Irish Public House every Wednesday.
Sterr's solo show includes both guitar and synth sounds, and accompanies himself with live loops both for atmosphere and backing tracks.... See MoreSee Less
Delilah DeWylde
Lake Ann Brewing Co.6535 First StLake Ann, MI49650 Map
A long time ago, at the dawn of the Atomic Age, a succession of no-good punks and ill-mannered teenagers took the best of American roots music — hard-partying honky tonk country, searing gutbucket blues and lonesome hillbilly twang — and distilled it into a potent moonshine known as rockabilly. This combustible formula, passed down through the generations, forms the heart of the revved-up stylings of Delilah DeWylde.
Delilah DeWylde got her start in 2004. Just like rockabilly originators Johnny Cash, Bill Haley and Carl Perkins, this Michigander cut her teeth on steel-guitar driven country in the style popularized by Hank Williams, Ernest Tubb and Webb Pierce. But the draw of the big beat was irresistible, and over time the band’s approach has become sharper and tighter. Not self-consciously retro, Delilah remains committed to hand-crafted American music that stands at the crossroads of creativity and craftsmanship, liberally drawing from honky tonk country, rockabilly and surf music
Fender Amp
Bandleader Delilah DeWylde (upright bass/lead vocals) is veteran of the West Michigan music scene and an alumna of rockabilly institution DangerVille. Her out-sized stage presence is the centerpiece of the show — one minute singing sweetly, the next slapping her bass into submission.
Next to the sound and fury of Miss Delilah stands cool character Lee Harvey on electric guitar. His serious demeanor on-stage reveals his reverence for the precision and technique of the “original” guitar gods—the likes of Paul Burlison, Billy Byrd, Cliff Gallup, Grady Martin, Dick Dale, Luther Perkins, Scotty Moore and Don Rich.
Taking their task seriously, this trio plies its trade the old-fashioned way – live and in person, logging more than 120 gigs a year throughout the Midwest and beyond. The band also has recorded three LPs (as they used to call ’em): 2008’s Honky Tonk Heart, 2010’s The Price You Pay and Win My Love - recorded in 2012.... See MoreSee Less

The Whiskey Charmers create their own brand of dusty Americana, with melancholy guitar lines weaving through vocals that don’t try to break your heart, but somehow always do.

Since 2015, they’ve released albums steadily, most recently Streetlights, which Ken Capobianco of The Boston Globe calls “some of their most compelling songs, filled with yearning, melancholy, and tentative optimism.”
The Charmers are currently recording their sixth full-length album in Detroit and Nashville, set to release by the end of 2026. They’ll be hitting the road this May with a tour down south, and in July, heading out west to Wyoming and Montana.... See MoreSee Less

1000 Watt Prophets
6535 First St, Lake Ann, MI Map
1000 Watt Prophets are a Michigan-based roots-funk powerhouse blending Americana, New Orleans groove, and soul-forward rock into a high-energy, deeply musical live experience. Featuring veteran players from the Midwest festival circuit, the band delivers songs that feel both road-worn and urgent, driven by deep pocket rhythms, rich harmonies, and a relentless commitment to the groove.
1000 Watt Prophets is a band that has always strived to rise above. Born out of a 20+ year friendship and musical alliance between Zak Bunce (vocals/guitar) and Denny Richards (bass/vocals), the group has worked its way up from duo shows at small venues to a full-band lineup playing festivals and concert series throughout their home base of Northwestern Michigan.
2025 became a banner year for the group. They began taking a more serious approach to songwriting, drummer Sean Reisig (drums/vocals) passed the tenured mark, ending what had been a rotating lineup, and the band added multi-instrumentalist Brett McDowell (fiddle/sax/keys/vocals) to bring some extra musical color to the mix.
The band has evolved into an Original Soul-Drenched Roots Rock band with a hint of Backwoods Fire. November 2025 marks the online release of two original songs, "Gravity" and "Paint the Moon," recorded in a secret Northern Michigan studio lair, with a full album currently in the works for 2026.
Fully charged and ready, 1000 Watt Prophets are gearing up to showcase themselves at farther-reaching and larger venues for 2026.... See MoreSee Less
