Bert's is crankin': Eastern Market jazz club turned into entertainment complex
| Bert's is crankin': Eastern Market jazz club turned into entertainment complex
When veteran record firm executive Miller London moved back to Detroit in 2010 after decades in Los Angeles and New York, he was ready to wind down a bit. (Boxing matches are planned for the warehouse. Russell Street Entertainment has already hosted several big name concerts in the warehouse; soul singer Chuck Jackson on Thanksgiving weekend, and L. Reynolds of the Dramatics for two days in January. Bert Dearing has operated many nightspots through the years, as well as a party store and assorted real estate, mostly on the east side. The next big event will be the "Ice Man," soul singer Jerry Butler on May 12, the day before Mother's Day. "Our goal is to make that an event for people to bring their mothers and grandmothers to, who were part of the Jerry Butler era," London says. Dearing, London and Gibson are upbeat about Detroit's prospects, especially the Eastern Market area. All of this activity will require a lot of staff er right corner of the post to report it. When veteran record firm executive Miller London moved back to Detroit in 2010 after decades in Los Angeles and New York, he was ready to wind down a bit. . Next to that is the slightly larger Hastings Street Room, as well as a fully equipped barbershop and ladies' salon and spa. The big warehouse in the back, dubbed Bert's Warehouse Theater, is now in play for larger concerts, along with film and TV productions and stage plays. Set up nightclub style, with round tables and waiter and waitress service, the warehouse theater can seat 900-1,000 patrons, although without tables it could hold up to 1,700. "The other venues, you have to hold your food on your lap, put your drink on the floor or in a cup holder," London says. During football season, the parking lot behind the warehouse bustles with tailgaters, and the exterior grills are sizzling with meat until it's too cold to put them out. They are seeking scripts, as well as investors. Dearing's film will center on Hastings Street, Detroit's frenetic black entertainment district of the 1950s, and will feature interviews with entertainers such as Lottie the Body. "Pimps, murphy guys, prostitutes, the whole environs of Hastings Street," Dearing says. Over the years Dearing has amassed a slew of photographs and paraphernalia for a documentary that will be Paradise Valley Productions' first project. "There will never be another company like Motown," London says. We'll just take the brand and the mold that was created by Motown, and add to it. Dearing of course is a longtime force in Detroit's live music scene. The footprint of Bert's Market Place has slowly crept down the block since he bought the bar in 1987. The three are firming up two big prominent acts for June, two for July, and a "blue-eyed soul" artist they're very excited about for August. The Motown Room, which Dearing had already decked out with framed photos of Motown stars and posters of Marvin Gaye and other greats, now features a slew of gold and platinum records that came from London's personal collection. In pride of place in the Motown Room, over the bar, is a photograph of Berry Gordy in his boxing days, opposite a photo of Joe Louis.

Ill teen to miss date with Taylor Swift
| Ill teen to miss date with Taylor Swift In his second bout with cancer, 18-year-old Kevin McGuire won over the Internet and Taylor Swift. The 22-year-old Swift had provided for McGuire to have a tuxedo and shoes, airfare for him and his family, and hotel accommodations to attend the awards show. The country music event's reigning Entertainer of the Year, Swift is scheduled to present an award and is nominated for Entertainer of the Year and Female Vocalist of the Year. McGuire has been cautious leading up to the event, declining a visit to the mall for fear of getting sick and even guaranteeing doctors had washed their hands before visiting him, his mother said. "He said to me, 'Well, how many people get to say they turned down Taylor Swift?' " said Vicki McGuire with a small laugh. Though his cancer has been in remission, Kevin McGuire — who last spoke with the Courier-Post Thursday afternoon — said he was coming off his most intense week of chemotherapy ever: five days of radiation, five hours each. "His immune system is compromised," the Somerdale resident said. McGuire, who was first diagnosed with cancer as a 13-year-old, thought he had defeated the illness in 2010. , from accompanying the superstar to Sunday night's Academy of Country Music Awards. Hours after being in "great spirits" Thursday, and a day before his planned departure to Las Vegas for the show, McGuire was dealt a 103-degree fever and taken to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, according to his mother, Vicki McGuire. McGuire told the Courier-Post Thursday afternoon: "I've been living day by day, but mainly this past couple weeks I've been doing the best I can to not get sick, or mess up. McGuire's cousin Nicole Durand said the 25 hours of chemotherapy had weakened his immune system, preventing room visits for much of this week. A call to Swift's publicist, Paula Erickson, was not returned as of Friday evening. It was at this Philadelphia hospital where Kevin McGuire and his older sister Victoria drew the sympathies of thousands through the formation of the Facebook page "Taylor Swift take KEVIN MCGUIRE TO PROM!" The page has more than 128,000 followers, including Swift, who responded to Kevin on her Facebook page: "Kevin, I'm so sorry but I will not be able to make it to your prom," the singer wrote. Fever aside, counts of blood cells and hemoglobin need to be strong for McGuire to make Saturday's 2,500-mile trip to Las Vegas, site of the Academy of Country Music Awards, Kevin McGuire said Thursday. "I am excited," McGuire said Thursday, "but I'm trying to prepare myself in case my counts are too low. He remained in the hospital Saturday, and his sister Victoria posted this message on the "Taylor Swift take KEVIN MCGUIRE TO PROM!" Facebook page: "I am so sorry to announce this devastating news, but Kevin was admitted to the hospital last night, and is unable to attend the Academy of Country Music Awards with Taylor Swift. … Please continue to pray for Kevin and his health, because that is the most important thing. |
