Local Spins Covering West Michigan's music scene

Michigan Album Reviews: Spencer LaJoye, Caitlin Cusack, Lafayette Gunter Jr., Billy King

  • by By Holly Holtzclaw of Local Spins
  • November 29, 2025

Caitlin Cusack
“Live at the GRAM”

What Stands Out: At first glance, the covers included in this album’s tracklist are certainly intriguing, especially because they include well-loved classics by legendary artists such as Chicago and Elton John as well as a recent track by Michigan’s own Billy Strings. These selections become even more exciting after hearing Grand Rapids singer-songwriter Caitlin Cusack execute them in a way that brings out her own personal style, while also keeping the spirit of the original recording. Cusack’s vocal control and range really shine on Elton John’s “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” and the jazzy, timeless sound of Cusack’s live band feels right at home on Chicago’s “25 or 6 to 4.” The live band for this set, originally performed for GRAM on the Green at the Grand Rapids Art Museum in July 2025, includes saxophonist Caleb Elzinga, drummer Scott Pellegrom, bassist Nathan Walker, guitarist Zachary Forsleff, and backing vocals from Molly Horton and Lauren Froman.
Digging Deeper: While the covers on this release are impressive and expertly chosen, the real heart of the album is in Cusack’s original songs. Several of these tracks carry the theme of letting the universe guide you and accepting that whatever is meant to be will be, even when it doesn’t feel right at first. Everything about this recording feels polished and precise, especially when it comes to Cusack’s piano skills. “Things Change,” which originally appeared on Cusack’s “Quiet My Mind” EP, is a moment on this project where things slow down a bit and Cusack’s signature piano-ballad style makes an appearance. Cusack’s previous releases prove that she is skilled in that realm, but “Live at the GRAM” showcases a confident step into a more upbeat, pop-oriented sound that brings her abilities to new heights.
Perfect For: Those looking for something upbeat and fun to dance along to. – By Holly Holtzclaw

Upcoming Shows: Dec. 14 for Cusack’s “A Christmas Concert” at St. Peter Catholic Church in Douglas; Dec. 27 for Lowell Arts’ Sound Check with Clarke, Reed, and Meadows in Lowell
