Stewart Francke

Pair Stewart Francke and Carolyn Striho on the same bill, and you have two of the hardest-working singer-songwriters in Detroit — and they’re playing at the Magic Bag on Friday. Striho was in countless rock ’n’ roll bands, an unstoppable blonde music machine, before taking the solo route and never looking back. Meanwhile, Francke has a new album out, Love Implied, which the sees the former MT writer at his most introspective. Jeff Scott completes a bill that sees three of the city’s finest songwriter’s coming together. It might be a sedate, seated affair but that doesn’t mean that it won’t be fun.
