happening today: Chelsea's Sounds & Sights runs this week; Mayer Hawthorne plays Sonic Lunch at Michigan Theater
MUSIC
Art Fair has come and gone, so that means the return of Sonic Lunch. Noon-1:30 p.m. This week, catch Mayer Hawthorne, or as you may know him “Andrew Cohen” from Huron High School. His album has a vintage sound, which involves '70s inspired tracks, filled with orchestral pop and funky bass lines. Free. The concert, normally held at Liberty Plaza, has been moved to the Michigan Theater, 603 E. Liberty St., because of inclement weather.
Chelsea's Sounds & Sights runs for three days this week.
