Every once in awhile, 2 Stones Events gets an opportunity to do something extra special for our hometown of Brighton, something that makes people go "Wow! This town is hip!" (Like when we got Sponge to kick off the opening of our amphitheater a few years ago.)

Well, we've got another unbelievable treat this Saturday during the Greater Brighton Area Chamber of Commerce's annual Holiday Glow celebration. After Santa lights the Christmas tree on the Mill Pond at 6 p.m., walk right next door to the fabulous Brighton Coffeehouse and Theater at 6:30 and catch a free, one-hour concert featuring Christmas classics and original holiday songs by TB & The Detroit Holiday Rockestra! If you're not hip to this band, it's an all-star lineup of Detroit musicians:

Chuck Bartels, bass (Sturgil Simpson)
Johnny Evans, sax (Sponge, Howling Diablos)
TB - Terrance Burns, vocals (The Corktown Popes)
Jimmie Bones, piano (Kid Rock)
Ron Pangborn, drums (Jill Jack, Was Not Was)
Rich Hwang, guitar (Broken Arrow Blues Band)

Click HERE for a little taste of what they sound like (and click HERE to check out the band's groovy stocking-stuffer merch, which will be available Saturday).

Lots of moving parts to pull this event off quickly. Hats off to the musicians for making this happen; Pam and Linda at the Chamber; Nick at Ciao Amici restaurant; Amy and Annie at the coffeehouse; Joe at Heslip Audio; and lastly and mostly, the man who saw the value in this show for the Brighton community and covered the nut -- Scott Griffith at Griffith Realty. Thank you!
