The lineup is exactly why we shift to coffee at 3pm weekly. We like all beverages but coffee at 3pm daily. It’s as good as it gets with some fine tunes hosted by Acoustic Alternatives with John Bommarito and Sonic Coast!

Big shoutout to our friends at Sonic Coast for their support and partnership, and above all their commitment to playing Michigan music and a super accessible format!

If y’all haven’t downloaded the app yet, what are you waiting for? 🤘😎

Big dogs. BIG dogs.

Ypsi-bred, scattered across Detroit and Ann Arbor now, loud and poppy and fast in the best way.

These guys went and made an Ypsi-themed video game. A real one. And the storyline drops you into Grove in the first level.

Like, our studio. In a game. Made by a punk band from our own backyard.

This is exactly the Ypsi we love. Three musicians decide "yeah let's also code a whole-ass video game about our city" and then actually do it. That's the energy. That's why we're here. That's why we built this place.

Go play it, go listen, go tell your friends → weareteamcabin.com

How are ya?! Hopefully better now that you know this exists.

How are ya?!

Last Friday night we hauled ourselves down to Aretha's Jazz Cafe at Music Hall in Detroit for the Gettin' Spins DIY Radio Publicity Workshop, and BEAUTIFUL...we're still chewing on this stuff days later.

Chris Simpson (Catch & Play Songs) and Jennifer Westwood (Jennifer Westwood and The Handsome Devils, host of "Your Americana" on WAKT 106.1) absolutely brought it. A music business pro AND a working touring artist who hosts her own radio show? You can't beat that lineup for a workshop on getting indie music played on the radio.

The line that wrecked us in the best way: "Radio doesn't respond to talent...it responds to clarity and readiness." HEAVY.

A few highlights we're still thinking about:
🎙️ Treat your music like a small business — infrastructure first, talent second
🎙️ Your EPK is everything — sharp photos, real bios, easy downloads
🎙️ Short pitches beat long ones, every time
🎙️ Pick up the phone (it's a "lost and dying art" and it WORKS)
🎙️ Old catalog still has value — streaming changed the rules

We took full notes and the complete breakdown is going out in our newsletter. If you're not on the list yet, drop your email in the comments or sign up at https://grovestudios.space/

Huge thanks to Chris, Jennifer, and the co-sponsors: Playing in the Detroit Area Tonight, Sounds of the Zoo, Rocket Printing, and Sonic Coast. This is exactly the kind of community work that makes the Michigan scene what it is.

If you're ready to actually do this, cut a clean radio edit, mix down a single, put your EPK together...that's literally what we built our studios for. Open 24/7. Night owls, we built this nest for you.

Our friend Brian Maloney over at Sonic Coast and Sonic Detroit getting some well-deserved press about his radio stations bringing old school radio to your black mirror device the way radio should be! 🤘😎

Nice work Brian and team!

How are ya?! We've got something good for you.

If you've ever wondered how to actually get your music on the radio, not just hope for it, but make it happen, this one's for you.

On April 24th, we're proud to be a part of Gettin' Spins: A DIY Radio Publicity Workshop at Aretha's Jazz Cafe inside Music Hall in Detroit. Doors at 6pm.

You'll walk out with a real EPK strategy, airplay pitching skills, fan engagement tools, and a network of people who are just as serious about this as you are. Then stay for the Rustbelt Sounds Music Showcase at 8pm because the energy in that room is going to be incredible.

We don't know who needs to hear this. But here is the thing you need to hear. Right here. For hearing. Your music is ready. Now let's get it some spins.

Shoutout to our partners on this one: Catch & Play Songs, Sounds of the Zoo, Sonic Coast Radio, Rocket Printing, and Playing in the Detroit Area Tonight. Collaboration over competition, every time.
