Dinner with Coffey

The Dennis Coffey Quartet is scheduled to play Wednesday night, May 6th at the Northern Lights Lounge.  I last saw Dennis Coffey at Baker's Keyboard Lounge (another MCB fave) a while back, and his jazz and FUNK licks were pretty sweet, and the rest of his band is super tight.  

Coffey has also appeared in the documentary, Standing in the Shadows of Motown, the PBS Special, Rhythm, Love and Soul and From the Heart - The Four Tops 50th Anniversary TV Special. 


Based on what we've found, it looks like these Wednesday nights Dinner with Coffey are going to be a regular occurrence.  The Dennis Coffey Quartet will also be playing at the Magic Stick with Rodriquez - May 9th, and at the Salute to Baker's Keyboard Lounge on Thursday, May 14th.

Located on Baltimore between 2nd and 3rd in Detroit's New Center district (that's east of the Lodge and west of Woodward, a block or so from Grand Ave.), the Northern Lights Lounge is a mainstay for Detroit's lounge scene.  Featuring stiff drinks, a decent (and actually kinda healthy if you want it) menu with a kitchen open til 11pm, and a long shuffleboard table (so I don't have to go to Dave an Busters to get my shuffleboard fix), the Northern Lights is a great place to spend an evening.
