'Going Back to Our Roots'

Luther "Badman" Keith

Big City Rhythm & Blues magazine has scheduled its Christmas party, “Going Back to Our Roots,” for 4 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 19 at Kelly’s Bar, 2403 Holbrook in Hamtramck (313-872-0387). The party’s sure to be a wang, dang doodle with musical director Bob Monteleone leading an impressive list of talented artists, including The Stumbling Mice, Dave Edwards (from The Look), Luther “Badman” Keith, Laith Al-Saadi, Johnnie Bassett, Chris Canas, Vincent Hayes and other members of Big City Rhythm & Blues Orchestra.

The event will be more than just big fun as Robert Jr. and Sugar attempt to fill up their Airstream with donated canned goods for the food pantry at St. Florian Church (313-871-2778).
