Commonground Music Festival Review ~ Lansing, Michigan


By Patricia Britt

The Commonground Musical Festival is 14 years old, and held annually in mid July.

“Daley” hailing from Manchester, England covered some American tunes like Chaka Khan’s Sweet Thing, and performed some original music for an appreciative crowd at Lansing, Michigan’s Commonground Music Festival. Daley.tv.

Dee Hibbert & Company is a local band from Lansing, Michigan performing light original jazz, and R&B cover tunes from Luther Vandross catalog like Never Too Much, Bobby Caldwell What You Won’t Do For Love, and more. The keyboards were like raindrops, and the base was smooth.
Two guest vocalists worth noting on their jazz climb was Jesse Foltz covering Jill Scott’s Is It the Way. And another songstress sang with a gritty Mavis Staples style on Isaac Hayes “Do Your Thing.”

The overall performance of the diverse group was spellbinding.
