Due to an extreme heat advisory in the area, the Backyard Bash featuring Morgan James and Blue Avenue Delegates will now be held indoors at the Eagle Eye Grand Garden Ballroom for the safety of our artists, guests, and staff. After seeing the city of Lansing issue a Code Red Extreme Weather Plan to provide cooling shelters for people in need, the decision became rather easy.

While Share The Music Foundation and MSUFCU have worked diligently to create an enjoyable outdoor concert experience, our top priority is everyone’s health and well-being. Thankfully, the beautiful indoor ballroom at Eagle Eye Golf Club offers a comfortable, air-conditioned environment to enjoy the show.

Updated Concert Details:
📍 New Venue Location:
Eagle Eye Grand Garden Ballroom
Eagle Eye Golf Club
15500 Chandler Rd, Bath Township, MI 48808
🕠 Doors Open: 5:30 p.m.
🎶 Blue Avenue Delegates: 6:15 p.m.
🎤 Morgan James: 7:45 p.m.

No need to bring lawn chairs—seating will be provided inside.
Food trucks will still be available just outside the main entrance.
Cash bar service will be offered by Eagle Eye.
Be sure to spread the word to other ticket holders who have been provided tickets through corporate sponsorships as their email address might not be listed on the ticket orders. Mass communication is being sent to everyone that registered a ticket.
