St. Joe Jack at Grand River Brewery.  One-man-band plays 100 breweries in 100 days!  7 PM to 9 PM.  Straight out of St. Joe Michigan, Jack Adams dumps his soul into soaring vocals and hopping guitar licks. Drawing influence from the Grateful Dead, Bob Marley and various, rock R&R and jazz artists; Jack blends it all together as if Bob Ross painted a house party.  As a single act Jack paves his passion as a “one man-jam band”, looping musical phrases and beat-boxing to create a lively “dance like there’s nobody one in the room” vibe. Anybody who drinks their coffee black and enjoys wearing denim is in for a treat when Jack is jamming.  Grand River Brewery, Downtown Jackson.

Pets for Veterans.  Cascades Humane Society (CHS) is proud to announce a partnership with Friends of the Animals to provide adoptions to local veterans free of charge.   Friends of Animals, a non-profit organization in the Jackson area, is sponsoring this event thanks to a grant from the Samuel Higby and Margaret H.
