Rodriguez and other musicians to put on free show to help Donovan's Pub survive

Donovan's Pub at 3003 W. Vernor is a family-owned, friendly Detroit watering hole that has been hit by hard times in the recent years due to the Ambassador Gateway project. The construction of the project has made it hard for patrons to access the pub.

This Monday the bar will host a benefit show with performances by folk/rock songwriter Rodriguez, John Linardos of Motor City Brewing Works and songwriter Alison Lewis. The event is also a celebration of Dia de los Muertos, a Mexican-American celebration of family and friends who have died.

There is no cover, so use that savings to tip well and buy an extra round for friends. The music is set to start at 9:30 p.m. For more information call Donovan's Pub at (313) 964-2267.
