Bill Bynum Concert Opens The Kettle Season

Bill Bynum & Co. performs at The Kettle's first 2011-2021 season concert Saturday, Oct. 22 at the Hartland Music Hall, 3619 Hartland Road in Hartland.

Doors open at 7:30 p.m.; karaoke precedes the concert.

With songs both traditional and original, and a sound that's at once as comfortable as old jeans and as fresh as a new blade of grass, Bill Bynum & Co. is a band that's easy to love and hard to quit. The band's core of guitar, pedal steel, fiddle, bass and harmony vocals can lean into country, veer toward bluegrass, or take listeners on a unique journey through Bill's original songs.

Although a Detroit native, Bill’s musical roots are in the South. His parents migrated from Black Oak, Arkansas to work in Detroit’s steel industry in the 1940s, bringing—like many others—their love for bluegrass and country music. Bill grew up listening to artists like Johnny Cash and Buck Owens on Detroit’s country radio station, “The Big D.”

The band includes John Lang (pedal steel), Mary Seelhorst (fiddle), Chuck Anderson (bass) and Bill Bynum (guitar).

"My music is kind of a Southern roots-based acoustic music, but I feel like I am very hard to box into a category," Bynum said. "There's more emotional content to my music than probably most people's.''

As always, The Kettle gives back to the community by donating a portion of our net profits to Gleaners Food Bank.
