Lip-Synching Guys Plan Michigan Road Trip Video Tour

If you want to get in on the action, the closest stop for the lip-synching duo is in Rochester Hills.

The infamous lip-synching duo from Grand Rapids have planned a road trip through Michigan. The closest stop to Shelby Township is our neighbors to the west: Rochester Hills.

Jeff Barrett and Rob Bliss are looking to highlight Michigan as they embark on a weeklong road trip through the state and document their journey via video.

You may already know Barrett and Bliss from their popular Grand Rapids LibDub video, a tour of their hometown to the tune of "American Pie." (Watch the video above, or see it here.)

According to a blog post on Pure Michigan, the duo will create an "energetic digital video that highlights various things the state has to offer. The video will serve as a way to help tell the story of Michigan as a great place to live, work, play and build a business."

According to the report, it will all take place in an "Imported from Detroit" Chrysler.
