Join us Aug. 25 for a talk about the state of the local music industry. What's the Detroit sound right now? How has the scene changed over the last decade? What is music's role in our local economy and cultural tourism? Detroit hosts a lot of big music events -- Movement, Blowout, Jazz Fest -- but is it sustainable for musicians to perform and live here year-round? How do we build a stronger infrastructure to promote and support local talent?Those questions and others will be part of the discussion, Thursday, Aug. 25 on the patio deck (weather permitting) at the Magic Stick, 4120 Woodward Ave., in Detroit's Midtown.
