Shake is not only my mentor but also my hero, my big brother and my best friend who believed in me when very few people did.
I was so lucky to have learned and worked with him and to perform alongside him. Sadly, I am not able to perform with this wonderful lineup (being Detroit-adjacent is what it is), but I plan to attend if possible. I hope many of you will share this opportunity to honor one of the best and most influential artists in Detroit from the second wave. Cheers from FBK.
