Joan Osborne has been a household name ever since the release of the "One of Us" single in 1995. Her music welds folk, rock, soul, blues, and downright original ideas together in a way that no one else quite has, and she may be particularly beloved in the southeast Michigan area thanks to her participation in the classic "Standing in the Shadows of Motown" documentary. She comes to Michigan with a new release, "Love and Hate," a song cycle on the title themes marked by musical influences from around the world. It's a major statement from one of the premier songwriters of our time, and there's no better place to really soak it up than the intimate spaces of The Ark.
