Detroit Trouble is a blue-collar blues rock band forged in the spirit of legends like John Lee Hooker, B.B. King, and Howlin’ Wolf, fused with the grit and drive of rock icons such as Bob Seger, Ted Nugent, and Jim McCarty. Their sound is rooted in groove, soul, and the raw emotion of everyday working men and women.
Built on authenticity, every member—past and present—has come up through skilled trades and blue-collar jobs, grinding day in and day out while chasing the dream through music. That shared experience fuels a deep connection with their loyal fanbase. Detroit Trouble doesn’t just play for their audience—they stand with them. Giving back to those who serve in industry, in uniform, and on the front lines isn’t just a gesture—it’s part of who they are.
Over the past eleven years, Detroit Trouble has built a reputation for electrifying live performances, taking stages at legendary venues across the country, including the Whisky A Go-Go in Los Angeles, The Token Lounge in Westland, Diesel Concert Lounge in Chesterfield, and Harpo’s Concert Theatre in Detroit, among many others.
They’ve shared the stage with powerhouse acts such as Texas Hippie Coalition, Sponge, Tantric, Jasmine Cain, Anthony Gomes, The Outlaws, and Pat Travers—earning their place among some of the hardest-working names in rock.
Detroit Trouble delivers blue-collar blues rock and roll from Detroit, about Detroit, for Detroit—and beyond!
