Newsmaker
Entertaining
since 1982
Based
out of Flint, MI, the band, Newsmaker began making a name for itself
25 years ago performing in some of Flint’s hottest clubs –
Benjamin’s, The
Nightingale and Network. Led
by drummer, Perry Joseph and fronted by his sister, Kori Roberts,
the band has become a local legend.
Their versatility and charisma are two main elements that
have successfully sustained them through years.
They are one of the few bands that can totally rock the house
in a nightclub setting or perform Frank Sinatra and Phantom of the
Opera at a more elegant event. Newsmaker and its members have
performed with many national artists including Edgar Winter, Rick,
Derringer, Badfinger, Snap, Martha McBride and Grand Funk Railroad.
They have garnered such a large fan base, that the band
recently sold out tickets to their 25th anniversary
celebration, turning away hundreds at the door.
In
the late ‘90’s, the band expanded their repertoire to allow them
to perform for many corporate functions, fundraisers, country clubs
and weddings, but occasionally Newsmaker will still play the club
scene to the delight of their many loyal fans.
Currently, the band consists of bandleader and drummer, Perry
Joseph, vocalist, Kori Roberts, keyboardist, Howard Eddy, guitarist,
Dennis Briggs, bassist, Bruce Powers and vocalist, Lee Johnson.
