Rock Band Sponge to Play Arts, Beats & Eats

Ford Arts, Beats & Eats announced Puddle of Mudd will no longer be performing at the Labor Day weekend festival due to personal issues of the lead singer Wes Scantlin. Instead, the Detroit-based rock group Sponge - led by St. Clair Shores resident Vinnie Dombroski - will be playing some of their greatest hits, such as "Plowed and Molly."

[TMZ reports 41-year-old Scantlin was arrested in July after allegedly "going to town on his neighbor's property with the saw and a sledgehammer." Read more here.]
