Presents: The GREATEST of the GREAT LAKES Michigan is the birthplace of some of the most gifted souls to bless the world with their talents. It is time to bring this attention to the World.
Bigger Than Life Entertainment, Inc. (BTL) will produce and host one of the biggest and most unique events to showcase the magnificent city of Detroit. This event will transform how the world sees the state of Michigan. We’re looked at as the city that is lost. Everyone has forgotten Motown, and what it did for Detroit. When they moved away to Los Angeles, we became Hockey Town by winning three Stanley Cups and now the Tigers are in the Playoffs and the Lions are winning. We are back and this Concert will put the light right where it Mission should be, Detroit is still alive. This event will Benefit Michigan Board of Statement Education and the local charity of Coats 4 Kids, The City of Detroit Serving underprivileged youth in the State.
The GREATEST of the GREAT LAKES by Bigger Than Life Entertainment We here at BTL would like to work towards bettering the lives of the Michigan youth by the success of this event. “Hoping to boost the confidence of the youth of Detroit, and its surrounding cities” by providing them with a brighter future, generated by people who care and have over come the same obstacles they endure. Bigger Than Life was founded by one that made it out of the tough streets of Detroit. We will look to bring programs to the schools, to help curve our youth to make better choices. Our efforts may assist in creating another Michigan born soul whom will become a beloved and cherished household name, like so many before them. Business man or woman, builder, even a store owner.
Coats for Kids was founded in 2004 & has Mission distributed over 13,000 coats to date. The events success hopes not to have one Statement coatless child in the state. The future of our Youth Support youth is in our hands.

The GREATEST of the GREAT LAKES by Bigger Than Life Entertainment America has found itself enduring some of its most challenging economic times. States such as Michigan, which is the birthplace of the automotive industry, have been hit the hardest due to struggles in sales and production. Nevertheless, Detroit has been the home of so many of our most talented and prominent artist that have gone on to become common house hold names.
