Sassiety

Sassiety is a Lansing quartet formed in 2024 that brings together four veteran musicians from across the local scene. Pianist Ann Bell, bassist David Winkelstern, guitarist Nick Pigeon, and drummer Renee Rose each bring decades of experience from bands including The Rotations, Blue Jazz Working Group, Steeplejack, and The Gems. Pigeon co-wrote a Detroit Music Award-winning song, and Winkelstern served as the Lansing State Journal's principal rock critic. They perform genre-crossing sets blending blues, pop, rock, and jazz at UrbanBeat and other Lansing venues.
