We gather in many places, but routinely at Shield’s of Southfield two-three times a month from 1-3:30 p.m. – normally the 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month. We are proud to host the finest musicians of these genres in the Detroit, Toledo, and Ann Arbor areas.

Shield’s of Southfield is located at 25101 Telegraph Road (at 10 Mile) in Southfield, 48033. We do not take reservations and please do not call the venue about our concerts. There is a $10 entertainment charge at the door which covers the cost of these fine musicians and their bands.
