If you're searching for live blues music in Michigan, a Kingston Michigan event, live music in Michigan's Thumb, a Tuscola County night out, or simply something memorable to do Saturday night, Backroads Blues Bender gives you the whole evening in one place.
Coming home for Thanksgiving? November 28 is the Saturday after Thanksgiving, making the Bender an easy night-out plan for visiting family, couples and friends.
A Michigan road-trip night
Make the Saturday after Thanksgiving feel like an actual night out. Drive the backroads into Kingston, settle in at Beagio's, eat, listen, create, sip and stay awhile.
This is intentionally smaller than a festival and more personal than a typical bar show: one venue, one featured artist, dinner, optional experiences and the kind of small-town atmosphere that gives you a story to take home.
Easy to build into a Michigan Thumb day trip from Caro, Cass City, Lapeer, Davison, Flint, Oxford, Sterling Heights, Port Huron and surrounding communities.
For the music lover
Kelli opened for ZZ Top at New York City’s Beacon Theatre, has appeared on bills with George Thorogood & The Destroyers, and has performed alongside Christone “Kingfish” Ingram and Samantha Fish. Now hear her powerful blues-rock vocals up close in Kingston — not from the back of an arena.
Signed to Gulf Coast Records, winner of Nashville’s 2024 Blues Revival 615 competition, and known for her powerful blend of blues, rock and soul, Kelli Baker is an artist worth traveling for. Her album MOTHER arrives November 13, just before this special Kingston performance.
Kelli Baker's debut album MOTHER releases November 13 on Gulf Coast Records. Produced by three-time GRAMMY® winner Zach Allen, the record features appearances by Keb' Mo', The McCrary Sisters and Peter Levin.
Her sound pulls from blues, rock, soul, funk and Americana, and her 2026 story includes appearances with ZZ Top and George Thorogood & The Destroyers. On November 28, the celebration comes to Kingston.
