Turn It Down! Lansing Music! in CITY PULSE

Message to Lansing area bands:
If you are a local musician and have a new CD or record in the works, let me know. Or if you have a big show you want people to hear about, drop me a line and I will do my best to spread the word.
I also encourage bands/artists to book shows at interesting venues, hang fliers and promote Lansing as a whole. But most of all, concentrate on writing the great music.
