Musical Guests

Heather Black Project

Heather Black Project (HBP) is a unique and growing collective of skilled musicians, lovers and soulful warriors, collaborating their vibrations and sharing with the world their love, passion, and music. Led by vocalist Heather Schwartz, this versatile ensemble puts a unique spin on vintage jazz and incorporates modern elements of 50's R&B to the soul and hip-hop rhythms of present day.

This is HBP's second performance at Paragon SNS, following their stellar performance at our 25/50 Anniversary Party in 2023!

The Terraplanes

The Terraplanes play an irresistible mixture of house rockin blues and uptown swing, R&B, soul, and roots rock-n-roll. They were formed in 1993 and established themselves as the blues housekeepers of the Ann Arbor Bluestage at the Blind Pig. Their tenure as hosts enabled them to lead the faithful in a serious dues-paying performance fest of R&B based standards and originals that have drawn thousands of believers and hundreds of fabulous guest musicians.

The Terraplanes' electric bass player is also none other than Paragon's own Service Tech, Al!
