"It’s not about the destination but the journey itself. You want to savor every second, hearing these tales with heart and soul, blooming in a cauldron of blues, rock, country, Americana and folk."

“We have said it multiple times: Foundry Town Survivors are a dynamic entity. Boasting impressive productivity, the Ann Arbor pair has been recently featured on our pages thanks to their soul-flavoured banger ‘I Want To Be Loved’, a track we described as “a steady gem, constantly driving the rhythm forward while showcasing the duo’s nuanced vocals”. Now, the American rockers are back on the new music horse, diving into more bluesy and rocky territories, although always maintaining their lyrical wit and nuanced attitude.”

They’ve traveled around the world, but they’ve never forgotten where they came from. Former Townies and members of the late 70’s group Vantage Point!, Mark Tomorsky and Tommy Johnsmiller burst out of the Ann Arbor music scene with performances at the Montreux Jazz Festival and The Olympics. As Foundry Town Survivors, they return to their roots with a rare Michigan concert appearance this year at the Necto on September 21.
Formed in 2021, they’ve released over a dozen singles, music videos and an EP gaining a growing loyal following internationally and especially in their old stomping grounds. Foundry Town Survivors wear their Michigan rock influences strongly on their sleeves, mixing it with hints of Americana to create their own signature sound.
For the Necto show, they’ll be joined by local heroes Jim King – Keyboards (Masquerade), Chip Trombley – Drums (Vantage Point!), and Jeff Jones – Guitar (Lightnin’).The show will feature songs from their EP along with new unreleased material. The legendary Michael On Fire starts off the night at 7:00pm sharp.
