In addition to their local engagements, Act Casual has made significant strides in the festival circuit, performing at prominent events such as Summer Camp Music Festival, Hookahville, Weekend at the Cave, Solshine Reverie, Summer’s End Smokeout, Ann Arbor Hash Bash, and Arts Beats & Eats. The band was honored to perform at a Bernie Sanders rally and has also shared the stage with notable national acts including Bootsy Collins, Wishbone Ash, Larry McCray, Laith al-Saadi, Brendan Bayliss and Ryan Stasik of Umphrey’s McGee, The New Mastersounds, Ekoostik Hookah, Spafford, Dopapod, Ben Carrey of Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Moon Hooch, Muruga Booker and Gabe Gonzalez of Parliament Funkadelic, The Werks, Mihali, Magic Beans, Dixon’s Violin, and The Nth Power.

Act Casual’s palpable stage presence and energetic performances have attracted media attention, leading to features in publications such as Rolling Stone, The Detroit Metro Times, Local Spins, The Stratton Setlist, and Music Connection Magazine. Their latest album, which has surpassed 50,000 streams on Spotify and received airplay on 101 WRIF and 101.9 WDET, has solidified their status in the independent music scene.

The band Hickory Creek Revival is made up of four siblings who grew up playing folk and bluegrass music in St. Joseph, MI. Now accomplished musicians, songwriters and poets, the Willeys will return to their hometown for a festive concert on Saturday, November 8, from 7-9 p.m. at the Box Factory for the Arts.

At the performance, they will also unveil a short documentary about their latest project.

Reserve your seats for this popular band! Tickets are $15 cabaret seating and $12 general admission at ticketstripe.com/hickorycreek2025, or $15 at the door. Free admission for children 12 and under. A cash bar will be available.

The Willeys began playing music together as teens in the 1970s under the name Hickory Creek. Although they dispersed throughout Michigan and have played with other bands, the four continue to blend their string music and harmonies on originals and traditional folk songs as Hickory Creek Revival. Band members are guitarist and songwriter Andy Willey, Rick on fiddle and mandolin, Bob on banjo and harmonica, and Rose joining her brothers on vocals and songwriting.

This performance is special for the siblings, as their late mother, Barbara Willey, was one of the founding members of the Box Factory 30 years ago. “We love playing at the Box. It’s like visiting an old friend,” said Rose Willey, who was the driving force behind the band’s current recordings.
Admission: $12-15
