I'm proud to be from the great state of Michigan. I've lived in the Mitten several different times throughout my life spending time in all corners of it. My journeys took me up and down the Lake Michigan coast, out east to explore Detroit and Ann Arbor, and to the dense forests of the UP.
Before writing with Only In Your State, I worked as a local TV news reporter and anchor, most recently in South Bend. Many of the stories I covered took place in Southwest Michigan. My roots are even deeper in the Wolverine State as I often head to Kalamazoo to visit family.
When I'm not out exploring nature, I'm avidly watching sports. I specifically have a deep love for the Michigan Wolverines (my alma mater), and I get to write about them and several other Big Ten teams as and editor for Athlon Sports. I also love to enjoy the great outdoors with my wife and our dog, Piper.
I'm excited to share all my favorite Michigan destinations with you. Keep exploring.
Detroit isn’t just called Motown as a monicker for the Motor City, but also because of its history as the birthplace of Motown music back in the late fifties. That culture remains to this day, and there’s one particular club in Detroit that continues to nurture it. Once you step into Aretha’s Jazz Cafe, you’ll be transported back to the days when Motown flooded the airwaves, as they bring the soul of this city to life.
Whether it’s for the perfect romantic night on the town or a prelude to the main show at the Music Hall, guests at Aretha’s Jazz Cafe will undoubtedly get a taste of what built Motown and fostered generations of musicians and innovators to come. Make sure to follow Aretha’s Jazz Cafe online to find out who’s performing before you plan your trip.
