    October 18, 2013 Music Business in Detroit: Estimating the Size of the Music Industry in the Motor City Prepared by: Anderson Economic Group, LLC Colby Spencer Cesaro, Senior Analyst Alex Rosaen, Senior Consultant Lauren Branneman, Senior Analyst Forward by: Patrick L. Anderson, Principal & CEO Anderson Economic Group, LLC 1555 Watertower Place, Suite 100 East Lansing, Michigan 48823 Tel: (517) 333-6984 Fax: (517) 333-7058 www.AndersonEconomicGroup.com © Anderson Economic Group, LLC, 2013 Permission to reproduce in entirety granted with proper citation. All other rights reserved. Foreword I'm pleased to share with readers of Crain's Detroit Business, as well as with others in the Detroit region, this first-of-its-kind study of the business of music in southeast Michigan. Everyone that grew up in this area knows of the "Motown sound," as well as the heritage of jazz, blues, and rock that has steeped into our culture. Many of us are also aware of the more recent innovations of techno and hip-hop, much of which has roots in Detroit. However, until now there has been no systematic analysis of the business of music in our area. Our Anderson Economic Group consultants have combed census and other business records; examined the geographic pattern of nightclubs and perfor- mance venues; scanned demographic patterns for concentrations of heavy enter- tainment consumers; and even conducted primary research into the days/nights of live music available to metro Detroiters at over two hundred specific bars, taverns, and clubs. What we have assembled is a thorough analysis of an indus- try that has always been important to our culture, but can now also be known for its contributions to our employment and earnings.

  • Jeremy Kittel Band
    Jeremy Kittel Band fiery blend of jazz, Celtic fiddling, and sultry world grooves “Outstanding Michigan Celtic-jazz-bluegrass fiddle whiz … “ — The Boston Globe “We’d call him a rising star, but he’s clearly already risen.“ — Detroit Free Press If you should run into Jeremy Kittel somewhere on this planet, ask him any question except “What’s your favorite style of music?” It’s not that he’ll be so offended as to reprimand you with his violin bow — on the contrary. As anyone who has seen him in concert can attest, his talent is matched by a kind of confident good nature that once spurred the Ann Arbor News to write, “If he didn’t come across as so nice, he’d be a little scary.” It’s just that Kittel, as someone who is truly steeped in a few very different musical traditions, has heard that question before … many times before, and it’s easy to understand why. When a musician is as likely to be found playing a ferocious set of reels in some dark pub in Ireland as he is likely to be found trading licks with a saxophonist at a hip New York City jazz club — and he is occasionally even seen doing such apparently odd-ball joining Turtle Island Quartet, Kittel was earning his masters things as exploring Indian classical music on stage at Carnegie degree in jazz performance at the Manhattan School of Music Hall — one starts to wonder … what is it that drives him? and skipping town on weekends to perform across the country Whatever the source of his inspiration may be, it has led to alongside fiddle legends Mark O’Connor and Darol Anger.
