Get ready to hear Americana-Detroit style when Doop & The Inside Outlaws take the stage at their CD release party for their second album “Everett Belcher.” The performance and listening party takes place on Saturday, August 1 at 9pm at the Park Bar. Joining the Outlaws for this show are friends Matt Dmits, and Whitey Morgan and the 78s. To kick off the album release, Doop will perform on the Fox2 News Morning Show on Friday, July 31 at 7am.
 
Doop & The Inside Outlaws hail from downriver Detroit enclave of River Rouge. A firefighter by day and singer/songwriter by night, Don “Doop” Duprie and his band play a mix of outlaw country and rock n’ roll that comes straight from the soul. The band has steadily made a name for themselves this year, here in the city and beyond. They received three country nominations in the Detroit Music Awards; performed at the Downtown Hoedown; and their debut album, “Blood River,” was named one of the top local records of 2008 by the Metro Times. The album received critical acclaim by numerous radio stations and music websites worldwide.

I just wanted to let you all know I am still alive and well here in sunny Florida and am opening a cafe/bookstore! I am so excited and have an outreach for young musicians as well, offering free music lessons and support. I am not sure how many remember me but if you are ever in Florida look me up!

This week I am building the stage! Please check out the pics and visit our myspace, blog and main store site!

"The Night Before Fathers Day" will be an acoustic celebration featuring local Fathers and their children performing songs for the sake of mothers with cameras creating memories. FREE admission for all on Saturday June 20 2009. So far I have 2 coffee houses locked in.

The Plymouth Coffee Bean in Plymouth MI from 8 to 11pm and Solid Grounds Coffee House in Northville MI from 6 to 9pm. Instantly I've received a dozen requests from fathers that want to participate. I didn't even advertize yet. This might be an interesting focus on a healthy Metro Detroit scene that is rarely seen. The Detroit area has a rich musical heritage of all styles. Acoustic music is spread throughout our Blues, Jazz, Rock, Country, Gospel, R&B, Hip Hop, Motown, Reggae, Dance, Metal, Punk, Rap, Polka, Eastern, Ethnic, ect… every single guitar player no matter what style occasionally plays an acoustic-something for self enjoyment. And many fathers simply play guitar yet have never performed on a stage for an audience.

Eclectic, brooding, manic, lyrically-flooded, melodic, sleepy, and occupying his own little world (to which you are welcomed).

The debut release from Melvyn Bernard, The Life You Thought You'd Have, was written, recorded, and mixed in two weeks for rpmchallenge.com, solely with many tweaked layers of acoustic guitar and vocals (the remix doesn't count). Future output will most likely have more. Or less.

All songs are streaming and for free download at alonetone.com.

Even fewer songs can be heard at the Myspace page.
