If you missed last year's inaugurate New Fortune Fest you missed a fantastic day of Detroit music and the great feeling of being part of something you knew was special
With a steady flow of guests moving in and out most of the day there was plenty of life in the rooms while the setting sun blazed through the red,white and blue New Fortune Records banner adorning the front window of the New Dodge behind the stage.
New Fortune Records founder Kevin Pachla played the profound host of NFFest and the place was packed by time the night lights kicked on.
Be sure to get out this year for Round-2 as it is packed with a healthy motorcity punch of great bands and sweet vinyl releases!
