Tunes By The Tridge -Michele Spitz-Tribute to Linda Ronstadt (Classic Country Rock)
Growing up as a young woman one of her favorite vocalists was Linda Ronstadt. Michele listened to her music over and over again and felt such a connection to her music that spanned over five decades and all genres. After hearing that Linda was retiring from music and could no longer sing due to a tragic diagnosis of Parkinson's, Michele was saddened and knew she wanted to one day pay tribute to this iconic performer who had influenced her singing style.
Backed by some of Michigan's most talented musicians, Michele and The Straight Eights take you on a musical journey of Linda's timeless hits, powerful ballads, including her biggest rock hits from the 70’s, her alternative country hits, and her softer 80’s rock ballads. This exciting tribute will have you singing and swaying along, as you are taken back in time by Michele's velvety voice and stunning resemblance to Linda Ronstadt.

Tunes By The Tridge -Gordon Lightfoot Tribute Band
Retired from a radio and television play-by-play career that spanned 26 years and more than 1,500 broadcasts in the National Hockey League and professional baseball, Mike’s musical interests now blend the woods, the water and the wildlife with the North Country music you’ll hear in his shows.
His portrayal of Gordon Lightfoot is simply an honest effort to entertain with an accurate representation of a Lightfoot concert. Mike plays the role of “Gord” in first person, yet avoids saying “I” or “me” in his storytelling of the songs and the circumstances of how they were written. His tireless research and personal interaction with Lightfoot have lead to accurate mannerisms, speaking patterns, clothing, and of course identical guitars used by the Canadian icon on stage.
Rarely does he break character, usually only to introduce the band or give a personal message before the conclusion of the show.
