This Midwestern crew originally joined forces to enter a local Detroit rock competition, just to see if they could win. However, when bass player Bryon Rossi, drummer Daniel Rossi, keyboard player Stephen Saputo, guitarists Daniel Zott and Michael Mulliniks actually took home the top prize, they realized just how much they enjoyed making music together. Although the group itself is in its infancy, the members of The American Secrets have been involved in the local Detroit music scene for years and have found individual success, performing at events including SXSW and Purple Door Festival.
