Majestic Theatre
February Update from Grupo Escobar
Last Updated February 8th, 2009 by escobar
Hi Everyone, This is from Steve from Grupo Escobar, I just wanted to
send a brief message about the gigs we have coming up in the Detroit
area.
The
last few months have been very exciting with our December gig at the
Scarab Club, and our most recent January gig at Gleaner's. Now we have
an upcoming Valentine's Day gig at The Magic Stick, and more to come in
'09. We love this music and are are trying to bring Cuban Salsa to the
masses at places not necessarily known for Latin Music. We've received
very enthusiastic response from venues and first timers alike about the
unique experience of salsa and because dancers are part of our music we
are making sure that the venues are dancer friendly.
We have been around for a few years now and are working hard to
help develop a scene where music and dancing are a way of life in
Detroit. With that we are trying to find the best venues and create
the best events for our music.
The Magic Stick was renovated last year (70,000 bucks!), and is now
a modern and very professional venue with a new very modern sound
system. There is a $4 guarded parking lot and space for regular free
parking. There is a great dance floor, bar service, cocktail tables
with the high chairs, regular tables on an elevation,security, and it's
very clean! When i saw it I was knocked out, as I hadn't been there in
about 7 years. The Magic Stick is also part of the Majestic Theater,
Majestic Cafe, and the Rock-n-Bowl complex, the Cafe offers a different
full service bar, food,etc. The Majestic Theater plays host to a lot
of music from different parts of the globe as well as the Magic Stick.
Lots of people coming in and out of this place all night long!
The
Band and I want to make sure you feel welcome at these new locations. I
want people who have supported us in the past to know that if you're
coming up alone, that you can hang out with us! You can contact us
through Facebook, myspace, or regular E mail, or phone, to try to
reserve a table if there's problems getting through at the venue.
I've
had a lot of feed back from new people who want dance lessons, and
others who see all the music and dancing as some of the best partying
they've seen in a long time! I think we can make the scene bigger and
better by bringing Detroit City into the fold.
Thanks!
Steve
