Lakeshore-local jam-band Four Finger Five is ready for air-play. This is an amazing group that has spent the last few years gaining local and regional notoriety at bars, festivals, and most recently Muskegon’s Frauenthal Theatre. The album, recorded in one day, showcases five live studio tracks. Check out ‘Change’ for sure. Also, ‘Four Finger Famiglia’ offers a terrific sample three of Grand Rapids finest MCs just NOT ON THE RADIO. The album also features two extensive jams, Intermission and Bird in the Bush. On these the band’s live experience of funk, soul, rock, and jazz fusion is best displayed. Basically, you should see and listen to this band and NOT PLAY TRACK FOUR on the radio. – Derrick muund
