Commons Live Music Series – Todd Michael & Johnny Guest Band
Downtown Midland welcomes Todd Michael & Johnny Guest Band to The Commons Live Music Series on August 29, 2026 from 7-9 p.m.
Performances will be set up on the Pedestrian Plaza Stage in the intersection of McDonald St. & Main St. Bring a chair (or snag one of our outdoor tables), grab a drink & food from your favorite downtown restaurant, and enjoy the music!
In the great tradition of country’s iconic duos, from Brooks & Dunn’s arena sized energy to the good time spirit of Florida Georgia Line and the brother-like chemistry of Dan + Shay- Johnny Guest & Todd Michael bring a powerhouse dynamic to today’s country scene.
Both hailing from the heartland of Michigan and bonded by a shared passion for music and honest songwriting, Johnny and Todd began making music together with one simple goal: to blend modern country swagger with the timeless soul of the classics.
Drawing inspiration from country’s greatest duos while carving a lane uniquely theirs, they deliver big-hook anthems, blue-collar narratives, and acoustic moments that hit straight to the heart. Whether they’re lighting up a stage with boot-stomping energy or dialing it back for a heartfelt ballad, Johnny Guest & Todd Michael bring a chemistry that feels effortless—and a passion that will draw you in and wanting more.
With a shared love for good timin’ country music, and songwriting from somewhere between the heart and the gas pedal, Johnny & Todd tear into each and every show like it owes them money. Pour in some Tracy Lawrence, Aldean, Eric Church, Tom Petty, Bob Seeger straight into Chris Stapleton’s blender, and serve over ice. Audiences sing along to every song, and become fast friends with this duo that’s impossible to ignore.
This year’s Commons Live Music Series is brought to you by the Downtown Development Authority and presented Galloup Forberg Smith Merlo. Thank you to our supporting sponsor Jolt Credit Union and community sponsors 1st State Bank, Dow Credit Union, Oxygen Lounge, Poznak Dyer Kanar Schefsky Thompson PLC, Three Rivers Corporation, and Tri-Star Trust for making this program possible.
