Manchester Underground Presents - Dooley Wilson
Saturday, March 21, 2026 7:30 pm - 10:30 pm
Manchester, MI, United States, Michigan 48158
One of Toledo, Ohio's best-kept secrets, Bluesman Dooley Wilson plays "bottleneck" slide guitar in his own unmistakable fashion, fermented over more than three decades of playing experience, spanning from New Orleans to the Mississippi Delta to Europe. With a style profoundly rooted in the Mississippi blues and gospel tradition, Wilson sounds like a transporting anachronism without being a note-for-note archivist. He is the most obscure American Bluesman to have been covered by the iconic rock group The White Stripes.

Manchester Underground Presents - Ethan Daniel Davidson
Saturday, April 18, 2026 7:30 pm - 10:30 pm
Manchester, MI, United States, Michigan 48158
Ethan Daniel Davidson is a veteran singer-songwriter and "performance philosopher" whose music sits at the intersection of gritty Americana, haunting folk, and unvarnished blues. After a decade-long "Six Year Tour" where he played over 900 shows across the U.S. and a period of living in the Alaskan wilderness, Davidson has built a prolific body of work that spans fourteen studio albums. His songwriting is deeply literary, earning him comparisons to icons like Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan for his ability to weave complex, philosophical narratives into homespun melodies.
