Kent Koller is now entering his 2nd year as the host of Metro-Detroit's premiere open mike. He is within a lineage of hosts that have included some of the best singer-songwriters in the area.Kent hosts Thursday evenings (8pm-11pm), at A.J.'s Cafe in downtown Ferndale, formerly the home of Xhedos Cafe. Xhedos started a tradition of having the best listening, and highest caliber open mikes since 1996. After an ownership change in 2007, A.J.'s Cafe is continuing the tradition of excellence. Open mikes are currently running every Tuesday (host: John Finan), Wednesday (host: Ted Berlinghoff), and Thursday.
Kent Koller Incorporated and NASA Records are pleased to announce the release of the self-titled "Kent Koller" album.Perhaps the most anticipated musical release of the decade, "Kent Koller", with his 3-piece electric band, is breaking the musical manufacturing mold. Originality might actually be his middle name. Kent Originality Koller. Or maybe he should name the backing band "Originality"...Kent Koller and Originality. Oh well. I'll talk to the publicist.
Sean Z (see top friends) will be releasing his album as well. Sean Z is perhaps the best original blues guitarist in Detroit, and he is "living the dream, baby". This is a dual CD release concert.
