Bank of Ann Arbor is excited to announce that Michigan born rocker, Mitch Ryder will close out the 9th consecutive year for Sonic Lunch. Ryder, a music legend with hits like Sock It To Me Baby and Devil with a Blue Dress On will take the stage at noon on August 25th in Liberty Plaza.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, Serena Ryder is not able to perform, as previously announced.
“Mitch Ryder is the legendary link between classic Motown R&B and hard rocking Detroit-area bands like the MC5 and the Stooges. The Hamtramck native has recorded over two dozen albums in a career that stretches back to the mid-60s, and he still captivates audiences with his fiery vocals and commanding stage presence. He was in fine form the last time he performed at Sonic Lunch, so expect another great set of timeless hits when Mitch Ryder closes out the 9th season of Sonic Lunch on Thursday, August 25th”, said Martin Bandyke, from ann arbor's 107one.
“Good fortune smiled upon Ann Arbor this week when we learned that Mitch was going to play Sonic Lunch for us again. His pervious Sonic Lunch performance, from the big stage on Liberty Street, left one of the largest crowds in our history dancing in the streets as he sang his classic songs throughout the entire show,” said Tim Marshall, President and CEO of Bank of Ann Arbor. “When we learned that his schedule was open and available for August 25, we jumped on it.”
