If there’s one thing Detroit loves, it’s Detroit — and one way the city celebrates itself is through its rich musical legacy. At the annual Detroit x Detroit festival, now in its twelfth year, local artists cover other local artists in a circle jerk of Motor City music love.

The show is all ages and proceeds will support a scholarship at the School of Rock to help raise the next Motown musician.
