The FOSTER BROOKS BAND is home-grown DETROIT ROCK MUSIC

The lights and sound were coming from the wooden-stock building and were bouncing off of Cass lake....it was THE FOSTER BROOKS BAND playing at the well-know establishment Bachelor One Sports Bar in Keego Harbor, Michigan. The sound and lights from the windows danced off the road and fun could be heard from inside.

THE VENUE: BACHELOR I, a non-nondescript building, made of a light-colored brown wood, has been around the Lakes Region here for years. From inside, a great acoustic space for bands exist. Basically a big rectangle, the stage is at one end, then a dance floor, followed by tables and small mounted tables to the game area in back with a pool table and video games. Clean and inviting, the staff went around serving the great crowd.


FUN ON THE DANCE FLOOR- FOSTER BROOKS CONCERT 10-25-14


THE STAFF: The friendly staff, and I'm not just saying that as I have been to most major venues and bars in the area, was cool. From "Momma", the seemly leader and mother-like figure, to the cool waitresses...all decked out in FOSTER BROOK T-SHIRTS, the 'hot pink' letters of the writing on the shirts seemly all over the bar as guests were serve was remarkable. They are friendly and a 'well oiled machine' compared to other staffs I have seen at other venues in the area.


GREAT & FRIENDLY STAFF@ BACHELOR I SPORTS BAR


THE PATRONS: A nice crowd, a nice mix of ages. The crowd got younger as the night progressed. I gauge crowds on how polite they are when it gets packed with people later in the evening- this crowd was great! The dancing got crazy by 10pm with the band playing and everyone having a good time. The dance floor isn't the biggest in the area but it was all used. 


THE COOL CROWD @ BACHELOR I SPORTS BAR


THE BAND: This Bloomfield Hills-based rock cover band consisted of Lead Singer Sam Gray, Guitarist Andy Markowitz, Bassist Mark Anderson, Scott Gittleman and Doug Kahan. These guys, all professionals by day, came together, as Sam Gray says, to do a thing they loved thing to do- play music. Sam says most guys their age have golf and those type of hobbies- THE FOSTER BROOKS BAND IS THEIR LOVED & FUN THING TO DO. From 60's songs to todays' hits- their range is great. To go from a song like "Jessie's Girl" to "Fire", one needs talant and a range! The crowd loves them!
