Percussionist Mike Shimmin stopped by the Nonchalant Cafe Hour for a conversation about his music and travels around the world.
The award winning jazz percussionist has immersed himself in a number of new rhythmic styles ranging from sounds indigenous to northern Africa to the Celtic sounds of Scotland. Shimmin was in Kalamazoo performing with his Ann Arbor-based band Millish.

On this week’s KalamaBrew podcast we discuss a statewide toast set for May 11 at 6 p.m. Why May 11 you ask? Well that was the day the spirits started flowing again in Michigan following prohibition. Also KalamaBrew has an assignment for listeners this week: What do you say when you have a toast? Do you usually say something interesting? Well then send it their way. Cheers!
