The music schedule at the Great Lakes Folk Festival features several Michigan acts this year. They include the swing dance music of Paulette Brockington of Highland Park and the Cuban/Caribbean music of Tumbao Bravo out of Ann Arbor.  Artist Joel Mabus is a long-time local favorite.  He stopped by the Current State tent to catch us up on his music.
