Presenting performances from top national/international touring artists and the area’s finest local musicians, the collaboration is 100% about the music. . The series will launch on September 5th with a rare area appearance by British rock icon Graham Parker. New York singer/songwriter Tom Freund and Ferndale artist John Milroy will also perform as part of the bill.

The initial schedule includes bluegrass, folk, blues, alt-country, pub rock and even “jam” rock. We are honored to have punk music icon Tommy Ramone, the only living member of The Ramones coming to do bluegrass/folk music – plus a rare meet and greet with fans. Here’s a chance to meet and talk to living legend. Punk rockers mixed with bluegrassers….that just seems cool and unique. Diverse Americana/Roots music is what we as partners and this series are all about,” continued Carrick.
Carrick House Concerts is considered a “Roots” music pioneer having regularly presented noteworthy artists in concert for the past several years. Callahan’s opened late last year in Auburn Hills and quickly established itself as a premiere entertainment club by featuring the best local entertainment and establishing a successful Blues concert series.
“Callahan’s is a perfect fit for us and “Roots” music because it is a small intimate venue with an honest passion for music. Additionally they have top-notch gear, great people, and a great location,” commented Carrick. “Located near the intersection of I-75 and M-59 it easy to get too from anywhere in the metro area. Their start-of-the-art EAW PA, computerized lighting, and skilled production manager allow them to deliver quality events. Most importantly they are into the experience and making sure patrons are comfortable by doing the little things like restricting smoking and serving great food and beverage. Its friendly like a coffee shop, but also a place where you can have a cold beer or adult beverage and see a first-class show,” he concluded.
Callahan's located at 2105 South Boulevard (South of the Palace and Just East of Opdyke) in Auburn Hills. Open Monday - Saturday serving lunch and dinner the venue has a neighborhood bar & grill when not hosting national entertainment.
