Written by Jayson Bussa | Saturday, 30 January 2016 22:04 |On the weekend, he’s Paul Bauer, animalistic drummer for Kalamazoo-based funk/soul outfit The Mainstays.

Jared Knox and the Hägar Bombs countrify West Michigan
Written by Abigale Racine | Sunday, 01 November 2015 11:33 |Local country band Jared Knox and the Hägar Bombs deliver an energetic, modern country sound that’s as enjoyable as the spicy, bitter German liquor its namesake is borrowed from.
