Michigan Scottish Pipes and Drums www.michiganscottish.org Hailing from Troy, Michigan, this elegant Scottish ensemble is under the direction of Pipe Major William O'Donnell. They are primarily a teaching band with all their members having begun as pipe students of Mr. O'Donnell in the Troy School District. They wear the MacDonnell of Keppoch tartan.
Equinox Celtic Band www.equinoxtheband.net The six members of Equinox come from the Saginaw, Bay City and thumb regions of south east Michigan. They all sing and play a wide variety of traditional instruments like bagpipe, Celtic percussion instruments, whistles, fiddles and guitars. They have incredible energy and more than a wee bit of Irish charm.
Monsieur Guillaume and His Zydeco Hepcats www.myspace.com/zydecohepcats Guillaume Gautreaux can trace his ancestry back to Alsace, France and Acadia, Canada on to Cajun Louisiana. This 6 member band performs on accordion, guitars, bass, drums, and frottoir (washboard). Expect a lot of energy and copious hot sauce.

Los Bandits de Michigan www.losbanditsdemichigan.com The Bandits have performed all over the United States from Washington state to Florida, Chicago to Nashville. They reside in south west Michigan in and around Plainville. They have just finished their fourth CD and will be selling it, and their other recordings, during their appearance in Marine City. Critics are quick to emphasize that the Bandits are a superior Tex-Mex style band but also stress that the Bandits are much more than just a Tex-Mex band. Prepare yourself for some exquisite musicianship and a joyous performance.
HEADLINERS
The Howling Diablos www.howlingdiablos.com The Diablos have been together since the 1990's. They are a beloved and admired Detroit musical institution and a big favorite of Marine City. We thought they were going to blow the tent down in '09. They don't represent a specific ethnic group with their music so much as a uniquely American amalgamation of ethnic influences like blues, funk, rock, and jam. What ever it takes to get an entire audience up and dancing, they've got it. Don't just take our word for it. Join us and see for yourself.

| Sunday, July 17, Pure Americana |
Dodworth Saxhorn Band www.dodworth.org The Dodworth Saxhorn Band is a very unique orchestra. The instruments they play are all authentic, nineteenth century instruments, not reproductions. In many instances the various brass horns are no longer manufactured. Through painstaking research and sometimes pure luck these rare originals were found, lovingly restored and returned to active musical life. The band specializes in the music and the history of the nineteenth century and costume appropriate to mid-century. They recreate a world that is marching ever distant from our times and yet is still so movingly real for Americans. This spring marks the 150th anniversary of the start of the American Civil War. Dodworth Saxhorn will play the music of the era and present a special commemoration of that momentous American experience.
