Nearly three dozen local performers have been enlisted for the latest edition of downtown Detroit’s annual winter festival.
Blues queen Thornetta Davis, soul-rocker Laith Al-Saadi and musicians from a host of genres will play the 2019 Quicken Loans Winter Blast Weekends — the reconfigured version of the fest long known as Winter Blast.
The event is expanding to four weekends at Campus Martius Park and Cadillac Square, kicking off Jan. 19.
