In mid September of 2008 DetroitMusic.TV was called upon to cover the first annual Metro Music Expo. Live music, manufacturers, and educational seminars filled the halls of the Rock Financial Showplace in Novi, MI. People from far and wide flooded in to gaze upon the artwork and new gear that they could, or maybe could not, afford.

It was a networking orgy as show goers swapped business cards, ideas, and gear. It was EVERYTHING music under one roof!
