The Eat It Up Trio / Boblo Islanders

Cliff Bell’s hosted a double feature of two concerts. The first performance at 5:30 p.m. featured the Boblo Islanders, who specialize in music from the 1920s to 1940s, highlighting Hawaiian guitar, fiddle, and vocal harmonies. Their style draws from the swing era, early country, and Tin Pan Alley, creating a unique sound. The band includes Lindsay McCaw, Joel Jackson, Grace van’t Hof, and Walter Prettyman, mostly residing on Detroit’s East Side.

The second show began at 7:30 p.m. with the Eat It Up Trio, a Detroit-based group comprising drummer Sean Perlmutter, bassist Trevor Lamb, and pianist/vocalist Mike Harrison. Their versatile repertoire spans traditional jazz to modern R&B, funk, folk country, and more, delivering an engaging and entertaining performance.

Doors opened at 4 p.m. for dinner. Seating for the Boblo Islanders began at 5 p.m., and for the Eat It Up Trio at 7 p.m. The $25 ticket price covered admission to both shows.
