Upcoming Shows

Belhaj & McIntyre

 —  —

North Star Lounge, 301 N 5th Ave, Ann Arbor, MI 48104

Alex Belhaj and Erik McIntyre play intimate acoustic music on vintage guitars with swinging rhythm, sweet and haunting melodies, and an interweaving of joy and sorrow through improvisational conversations inspired by Blues, Jazz, and a plethora of early 20th century recordings. Their music is dynamic and never the same twice. Gentle voices searching for home.
