Act Casual

Known for magnetizing performances, chilling harmonies, and a unique style of improvisation, Detroit's funky fusion band Act Casual has been taking over the Midwest music scene by blending the blues, funk, long instrumentals, and tight pop tunes with infectious melodies. In the last few years, the group has seen an increased following of dedicated fans that brought them from jamming in a basement to playing sold out shows at iconic venues such as Detroit’s Magic Stick, Ann Arbor’s Blind Pig, Grand Rapids’ Tip Top Deluxe, and Mount Pleasant’s Centennial Hall. They have also made a name for themselves in the music festival circuit performing at Summer Camp Music Festival, Hookahville, Weekend at the Cave, Good People Good Times, Ohio Dreamfest, Ann Arbor Hash Bash, Arts Beats & Eats, Big Fam Music Festival, and many more. Act Casual has shared the stage with national acts including Bootsy Collins, Larry McCray, Laith al-Saadi, Brendan Bayliss and Ryan Stasik of Umphrey's McGee, Spafford, Ben Carrey of Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Moon Hooch, Muruga Booker and Gabe Gonzalez of Parliament Funkadelic, The Werks, and Magic Beans. The presence they have built on stage and throughout the Midwest is undeniable, leading to press in Rolling Stone Magazine, The Detroit Metro Times, Local Spins, The Stratton Setlist, and Music Connection Magazine. The group recently released an album to the tune of over 40,000 streams on Spotify including radio play on 101 WRIF and 90.9 WDET.
