LIVE MUSIC: Luke Woltanski

Join DSC as we welcome Luke Woltanski to our stage!

Having graduated in 2020 with his degree from Hillsdale College in Biology and Genomic Engineering, Luke decided to use the opportunities that the chaos of COVID afforded him to attempt the persuit of music full time. It would seem he made the right decision. Now scheduled nearly a year in advance Luke plays 5-6 shows a week on average totaling over 230 shows a year. In 2023 Luke released his fifth studio album “Mockingbird.” This album was recorded over the course of two years, and the songs tell the story of Luke’s first two years as a full time musician. Luke can be heard playing at any number of your favorite venues in the greater Traverse City and Leelanau areas. He plays many other great places across Michigan and even in Georgia, where Luke will occasionally find a retreat to rest and write.

LIVE MUSIC: Pinter Whitnick

We are excited to have Pinter Whitnick take the DSC Stage!

Forming in a small studio apartment in Detroit, Pinter Whitnick spent 2020 distilling their favorite songs down into duo-sized versions. While Kayleigh played bass and sang, Alex added guitar, keys, vocals, and foot percussion. The result was an 80s/90s duo with a full-band sound. Since then, Pinter Whitnick has taken their unique style to venues across the Mitten, turning back the clock and taking listeners on a sonic journey.

LIVE MUSIC: DJ Scandalous

Join us for an evening of house music with DJ Scandalous

The O’Jays “I Love Music” pretty much sums up his deep-rooted affection for music.  Growing up in Chicago, Chris was exposed to all sorts of music but his fondest memories of foot thumping, fist pounding, booty shaking rhythm began in Funk. The stanky funk of George Clinton and the Parliament Funkadelic was the catalyst that inspired his exploration of ALL genres of music.  Hanging with his father, who was a record distributor in the 70’s and 80s; the heart of Disco, funk, rap and rock, is what really tantalized his musical taste buds and invoked his passion for wax. House music embodied all of those genres.  Chris took that passion to college in 1987 and spent many years perfecting the art of mixing and blending with the help from his mentor, DJ Fink. You will hear his mixing style influenced from Frankie Knuckles, Ron Hardy, Lil Louis, Farley Jackmaster Funk, DJ Fink, Joe Barrett, Kenny Mahone, DJ Clay, Daniell Spencer, Terry James and Brian Reeves.

LIVE MUSIC: Billy J

Billy J has been on the music scene since his debut release “One Step Closer” in 2005, which became one of the fastest selling independently released CD’s to date overseas and abroad. Billy J has become a household name overseas and has gained a lot of fans along this journey. He credits several R&B singers that paved the way for him like: Luther Vandross, Michael Jackson, Marvin Gaye, Donnie Hathaway, Smokey Robinson, The Temptations, The Four Tops, and so many more. He wanted to prove that R&B music isn’t dead; especially in Motown. With that he started MTJ Productions. 

In late 2019, Billy J started working on his latest music.  The pandemic came in swiftly and derailed all recording plans. His writing process showed so much growth and maturity. He worked with some amazing writers and features on this project such as: Grammy award winning songwriter Antea Birchett who has written songs for Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez, just to name a couple.  He also worked with: Sam Watson, Katrina Carson Patrick Cooks, Craig Te, Jeff Dean, Jai Fears and Gucci Rie and he was excited for everyone to hear the finished product. In early 2020 he shot the video for the upcoming single “Love Tonight” Ft Jai Fears. Finally, after two and half long years his latest project ‘Black Tie Affair’ was released in July of 2022.
