SUMMARY:Michael Dease
DESCRIPTION:Sat | May 2	\n\n	\n		\n			Tariq Gardner & Evening Star\n	\n	\n\n\n	\n		\n	Sets at 7pm & 9pm | $25 Cover \n\n	\n\n\n	\n		RESERVE TABLE(opens in new tab)	\n\n\n\n			\n	\n	\n		\n\n	\n	\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n			\n	\n	\n		\n			About the Artist\n	\n	\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n			\n	\n\n			\n	\n	\n		\n	Evening Star is a Space Odyssey led by Detroit Drummer Tariq Gardner. The group has its roots in Detroit’s expansive musical tradition\, blending the city’s rich Jazz legacy with its history of musicians being largely malleable to fit into a wide array of musical styles traveling to the different galaxies of music of the African Diaspora (jazz\, neo-soul\, Afro-Cuban\, spirituals\, hip-hop\, etc.). Evening Star brings listeners light years into the cosmos while staying true to the roots of the Motherland. The band has an afro-futuristic aesthetic with the mission that simply makes music the forefront of positive outlets with original compositions as well as arrangements on popular songs from the Black American Canon. In 2025\, they became finalists in NPR Detroit’s ( WDET) Sounds Like Detroit contest and music Showcase. \nEvening Star currently has two releases: Their 2023 freshman project\, “Gateway Drug\,” and their 2024 Sophomore project\, “Vice Tape\,” featuring poet Joel “Fluent” Greene. They are currently performing festivals nationwide and looking forward to the recording of their third release. \nTariq Gardner - Drums\nCaelin Amin - Bass\nLeRoy Mickens - Piano\nMax Bowen - Guitar\nColeman Ward - Vocals \n\n	\n\n\n\n			\n	\n	\n		\n	\n					\n					\n	\n	\n\n\n	\n		RESERVE TABLE(opens in new tab)	\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n	\n		\n	\n\nLEARN MORE

The band has an afro-futuristic aesthetic with the mission that simply makes music the forefront of positive outlets with original compositions as well as arrangements on popular songs from the Black American Canon. In 2025\, they became finalists in NPR Detroit’s ( WDET) Sounds Like Detroit contest and music Showcase. \nEvening Star currently has two releases: Their 2023 freshman project\, “Gateway Drug\,” and their 2024 Sophomore project\, “Vice Tape\,” featuring poet Joel “Fluent” Greene.
