Horseshoes & Hand Grenades

The greatest fucking band to come out of Flint Michigan. Mostly a classic rock party band but they also do quite a bit of alternative music. They mostly do Clapton, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and other great 70's stuff.
Dude, Jake, the guitarist from Horseshoes & Hand Grenades, Justin the drummer, and Nolan the bassist make a kick-ass team!
