Detroit Music Awards nominees; Charlie Sheen watch; and more
Nominations for the Detroit Music Awards have been announced, and as usual there's some Ann Arbor-area representation on the list.
Bandleader/bassist/composer Paul Keller has three nominations, and other familiar names on the list include The Stooges, John Latini, and Los Gatos; and classical composers Michael Daugherty and Bright Sheng.
Awards are presented April 15. A full list of nominees is on the DMA website.
