Soul, funk, R&B and techno meet in the bill for Drey Skonie and The kLOUDs, a Detroit band whose retro approach gives Cliff Bell’s Halloween party a musical identity beyond its vintage-costume theme. Both advertised performances feature the same act, so the choice is when to arrive and dine.
A hybrid sound, not a period set
The band’s event descriptions place its music across soul, funk, R&B and techno, with a retro sensibility and a newer edge. That blend is the clearest guide to the booking: the listings describe a Detroit band with a wide-ranging sound, but do not advertise a tribute set or announce specific repertoire.

Motown contest wins—and one cover with a history
In 2023, frontman Drey Skonie received Artist of the Year recognition in the Motown Museum’s Hitsville NEXT Amplify Sound of Detroit competition. About a month later, Skonie and The kLOUDs won Masterpiece Sound Studios’ Cover Song Contest, held in honor of Motown songwriter and producer Sylvia Moy. Their entry was Stevie Wonder’s I Was Made to Love Her.
That contest history connects the band to Detroit’s Motown lineage, but it is not a promise about the Halloween repertoire: the event listing does not announce a set list, so the winning cover is not confirmed for this performance.

A screen role and ongoing studio work
The venue’s biography says Skonie met Brenda Wilson, Jackie Wilson’s daughter, while she was judging the cover-song competition. It also reports that Skonie is set to portray Jackie Wilson in the forthcoming television series Higher And Higher.
For listeners who want a sense of the band beyond the contest story, Cliff Bell’s identifies Rolling Skone as its latest album and says the group is recording in the studio. The venue points to YouTube performances and the Instagram accounts @dreyskonie and @thekloudsband for more of its music.

One band across both slots
Drey Skonie and The kLOUDs are listed for both performances. The practical distinction is the earlier or later dinner seating, rather than a different advertised lineup.

Dinner seating before both performances
Doors open at 5 p.m. for dinner. Seating begins at 6 p.m. for the 7:30 p.m. performance and at 9 p.m. for the 9:30 p.m. performance. Cliff Bell’s lists dining-reservation windows of 6–7:15 p.m. for the first show and 9–9:45 p.m. for the second; dinner and drinks are served during live performances.
The event page also displays an overall 7:30–9:30 p.m. interval, even though it separately schedules the second performance for 9:30 p.m. The finish time for that later performance is therefore unclear; check with the venue if a firm departure time matters.

$30 cover; dining reservations recommended
The event listing gives a $30 cover but does not say whether it includes dinner or drinks, or whether a reservation guarantees entry. Cliff Bell’s recommends reservations for dining but does not require them. It reserves dining tables, not tables for drinks and dessert alone during the first performance. Parties of five or more should call (313) 961-2543.

What time do the performances and dinner seatings begin?
