EXCURSIONS: November 2020

 Thank You for checking out the site!

It's been a long minute since we've updated the site, Covid-19 has really put a damper on things but we have adjusted and we've been consistently given you Excursions Online with some great guest!!And we will continue to do so until otherwise.. When the RESET starts we will be looking for a new home now that Danny's is officially closed for good. 

We hope to get back on point in Detroit.. 

Atlanta is a different story, The place we had hope to have a consistent relationship with ended up closing because of Covid-19. Yes, Sound Table/Space 2 is no longer around and we don't know who else is out there that would host an house music event from a crew that's out of town. We pray that something will turn up.

In the meantime catch us here every last Sat. of the month..

2019 was Busy for us and we were very lucky and fortunate to have some new opportunities to come our way. To close out 2019 we had So we hope that in 2020 The Lord will continue to bless us with love and to continue to spread our ideals thru our journey in music.

Since we are in the dead of winter, things have been a little slow and the information has taken its time making it here on the site but here is what has taken place in the last few weeks..
So in January..


and of course we were at Danny's for our monthly event!

Too much time past as we waited for Danny's, we needed the release!

AS for FEBRUARY

Happy Holidays From Excursions!

Excursions:ATL 
WE're back for our 3rd installment, and we're blessed to come back to ATL and share in the holiday spirit!
Originally we were suppose to do the event on Friday, and share in a big weekend that is planned.. but unfortunately, there was a scheduling conflict for Friday, and we desperately tried to find another venue but to no avail, nothing was available. 
So with that we APOLOGIZE for the changing the date to SUNDAY, DEC. 22nd (2019)
We know that normally Sundays is a quiet day in the ATL, but since its the weekend before Christmas, we figure that we'll still give something for the people!
Unfortunately James Vincent can't make the journey because of the Date Change.. So label owner, and friend Michael Scott will step in and represent!
So Join us on Sunday evening affair!
