The Salvation Army of Metro Detroit presents ‘Ready or Not: Rock the Red Kettle’ concert, which will take place from 7 p.m. to midnight on Saturday, Nov. 19 at City Tavern, located at 386 N Main St. in Royal Oak.
The concert will feature Live Band Karaoke Detroit to raise funds for individuals and families in need across metro Detroit. The local band is known for its unique approach to concerts – inviting audience members onstage to be their lead singer while they supply the music, backing vocals and song lyrics, serving as a human karaoke machine.
Concertgoers can support The Salvation Army’s 2022 Red Kettle Christmas Campaign through the following donation efforts:
- At the door, guests will be able to make a suggested donation of $10 and receive a raffle ticket for a chance to see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra at Little Caesars Arena on Thursday, Dec. 29;

- Live Band Karaoke Detroit will host its own virtual red kettle where online donations can be made;
