Join us for an incredible night of Michigan music featuring Brian Vander Ark, Joshua Davis, Millish, May Erlewine and Seth Bernard, all to benefit the Phillips family.

Brad Phillips is a treasured musician in this community, familiar to Ark audiences as a featured sideman to all of the artists on this bill as well as Jeff Daniels. Brad has also performed with Stevie Wonder, Pat Metheny and Iggy Pop, and he generated quite a buzz in Ann Arbor after his first headlining Ark show last fall. He is a brilliant composer/arranger/copyist, and his musical vocabulary is matched by his heart and generosity of spirit.

Brad and his wife Kate are the parents of three beautiful kids. Their infant daughter Evelyn was diagnosed with stage 3 intermediate neuroblastoma at six months old. By the age of 15 months, Evelyn has undergone eight rounds of chemo and a major surgery and is currently doing very well. Brad and Kate (who is a nurse at Mott children's hospital) have had to take months off work, and the family is bound together, but stretched thin. Since Brad has been a cornerstone of our community and has backed up so many of us over the years, we want to have his back during this tough time. Please come help us ease the burden and lift the spirits of a very special family and enjoy short sets by some of Michigan's finest music makers. Who knows, maybe Brad will take the stage too!
