Seraphine Collective will be a collaborative female-operated multi-purpose music space in Detroit.

Seraphine Collective began as a blog project that features individual profiles of female musicians currently making music in Detroit, Michigan, with hopes of educating, inspiring, and encouraging both current and future musicians. The profiles are developed from one-on-one interviews conducted by Lauren Harroun.

Seraphine Collective will soon be a collaborative female owned and operated music space in Southwest Detroit, designed to create a safe, active and supportive community for female musicians. We will provide opportunities for women and girls to learn and connect through music, as well as cultivate the presence of women in Detroit's rich and diverse music history.

We will repurpose a vacant building as an engaging platform for collaborating, networking and showcasing local, national and international talent by hosting performances, workshops, conferences and festivals. The Collective will include a performance venue, recording studio, record label, rehearsal studios, lessons, classes, and a resource library of publications, records, instruments and equipment.

By providing infrastructure and resources for a fun creative learning environment, and by setting an example as women working collaboratively in leadership positions, we’ll make a significant and lasting impact on the lives of those involved and the broader music scene.

The group of amazing women currently involved in this project includes: Cait Ash, Dina Bankole, Colette Czarnecki, Emily Gustafson, Lauren Harroun, Augusta Morrison, Erin Norris and Rachel Thompson.

This facebook page is a place for us to share our inspirations. We hope that you will find inspiration here too. 

Thank you for your support.
Stay tuned for updates on our progress.

Few survivors from the golden age of British folk-rock have kept their reputations intact. Of the generation of troubadours who came of age in the folk clubs of London in the mid-1960s, some have passed away, others have surrendered to the regurgitation of the blandest form of acoustic folk music. But among the survivors, there is one figure whose body of work, comprising 23 studio LPs and almost as many live and compilation releases, has come to stand for a particularly single-minded form of integrity. That man is Roy Harper.

Now officially ‘retired’, and living in a secluded corner of Ireland, Harper has recently been hailed as a key influence by a much younger generation of devoted starsailors who instinctively recognise his innovations, his refusal to compromise and his visionary world view. It is rumoured that Joanna Newsom insisted she’d only play her recent UK shows if he would support her. The likes of Fleet Foxes and Jim O’Rourke are avowed fans; and in previous decades he has enjoyed public endorsements and tributes from the likes of Led Zeppelin, Kate Bush, Pink Floyd’s Dave Gilmour and many more.
