Join us during the Hamtramck Neighborhood Arts Festival at Passenger’s new location on Christopher Street, right next to the Fowling Warehouse, where we’ll be hosting a marketplace and live music performances in addition to the opening reception of Ashley Worden’s solo exhibition downstairs at the new Christopher Street Gallery!
In the late 00’s, Jerry Downey cemented himself as a staple in Detroit’s on-again, off-again underground warehouse party scene with his “Sexual Tension Detroit” brand and was the mind behind many iconic series, such as “Bathroom Culture,” “Friend’s With Benefits,” and “We Can Get You In Trouble.” In 2018, he even received his first major break as a producer—licensing original music to Big Beat Records—but, despite his accomplishments, Downey had never reached his true potential as an artist due to his lifelong struggle with substance abuse. In 2024, after surrendering to his addiction and some soul searching, Jerry Downey found a new role in the community as a producer and recording/mix engineer working on original music out of his home studio.
