MetroArts Detroit
Featuring a diverse group of artists from the metro Detroit Area
Double Winter
Double Winter has been playing in and around Detroit since late 2013. Since then, they have taken their spooky brand of indie rock on the road, gracing stages in all corners of the country. They’ve even made it all the way to Austin, Texas for the South By Southwest festival. Double Winter has several releases showcasing their self-described psychedelic brand of doo-wop and pop. They have received quite a bit of positive reception, including a mention on the Metro Times list of bands to watch in 2018.
