Public Access

Public Access is an instrumental band based throughout the Midwest. Headquartered in Grand Rapids, with outposts in Chicago, Milwaukee, Traverse City, and Marquette, Public Access boasts a variety of musicians. Public Access draws its inspiration from the searing guitars of Brian May and David Gilmour to the sultry sax tones of Paul Desmond, and all the way to the rhythm of Four Tet and the synth of Daft Punk. At first glance, with six guitars on stage, you might expect nonstop improvisation and musicians vying for volume; however, plan on the contrary: melodic cooperation. These musicians gather for the benefit of the listener. They abide by the old adage "a rising tide lifts all ships," and when it comes to music, this jumpsuit-clad clan will help you rise out of your seat and onto the dance floor.
