SUMMARY:Other:Hot Club of Detroit
DESCRIPTION:Tonight's show brings musicians who not only revive but enrich the so-called gypsy jazz (the French call it \"manouche\") of the 1920s. The Hot Club of Detroit are southeastern Michigan's own band of Django Reinhart revivalists. They include Marseilles-born accordionist Julien Labro\, who provides a direct link to the French musette style from which French jazz grew. Says Detroit jazz giant James Carter: \"The Hot Club of Detroit plays with such reverence and passion. They play with a different level of conviction.\" The Hot Club has released four albums\, including the stylistically varied \"Junction\,\" and has appeared on NPR's \"Piano Jazz.\" Get ready for a hot time in the old town tonight!

SUMMARY:Performance:Beoga
DESCRIPTION:The bedrock of Beoga’s music lies firmly within the Irish tradition\, but they are not afraid to incorporate other genres’ nuances into their music. This five-piece ensemble comes from County Antrim in Northern Ireland. Moving from bluesy riffs to tango-inflected jazz\, to a raunchy New Orleans jamboree vibe\, their music always returns to a wonderfully bouncy traditional sound. They themselves call their music \"trad on anabolic steroids.\" With a repertoire of fresh self-penned tunes and inventive arrangements\, Beoga's album \"A Lovely Madness\" earned a 9/10 rating from Ireland’s Hot Press magazine\, and all their albums have landed on numerous ten-best lists in both Ireland and North America. Says the Irish Echo: \"It is Beoga who may be Ireland’s closest answer to The Band in combined virtuosity\, risk-taking\, and omnivorous musical palate.\"

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Pan Gongkai: Melt
DESCRIPTION:Pan Gongkai’s Melt (潘公凯：融) is a large-scale video installation that is concerned with the relationship between Chinese and Western art forms. Projected on the screen are images of withered lotuses gradually being covered by snow. The lotuses are derived from one of Pan’s large ink paintings\, while the snow is composed with the words from the artist’s theoretical text\, “On the Boundary of Western Modern Art.” The composition reflects Pan’s concern for the ways in which modern Western art has imposed itself upon traditional Chinese culture. Here\, the withered lotuses can be seen as representing traditional Chinese literati culture\, while the snow can be understood as part of a forced dialogue with the West. Although the snow might be viewed as threatening to blot out China’s artistic traditions\, it can also be seen as the element of its regeneration. After all\, it is this same snow that\, when melted\, nourishes future blossoms. Melt (or Snow Melt) was featured at the Chinese Pavilion of 54th Venice Biennale (2011).\n\nThis presentation is cosponsored by the Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design at U-M.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Doyle & Debbie Show
DESCRIPTION:The Doyle and Debbie Show is a revue\, a fabulous piece of parody simultaneously lampooning and idolizing country music's tradition of iconic duos—and touching the nerve of the battle of the sexes that has always been bubbling under the surface. Bruce Arntson and Jenny Littleton wield the vocals of vintage country stars and the acting chops of Broadway veterans\, taking audiences on a freewheeling joyride through a wickedly funny script and slew of equally hilarious original songs. Over the past two years\, this \"brilliantly tacky tribute to Music City\" (Nashville City Paper) has developed a rabid cult following in Nashville\, with many people seeing the show over a dozen times. Someone once said that we only satirize what we love most\, and Doyle and Debbie\, who've become a Tuesday-night fixture at Nashville's legendary Station Inn\, offer the latest and most fun chapter in a long history of self-satire in country music.

SUMMARY:Performance:Laith Al-Saadi
DESCRIPTION:Born and raised in Ann Arbor\, 36-year-old Laith Al-Saadi began singing at age four and began playing guitar at 13. At 15 he formed his first blues band\, Blue Vinyl. In short order they opened for blues greats like Buddy Guy\, Luther Allison\, Son Seals\, and Taj Mahal and toured the Netherlands. At the University of Michigan\, Laith was a member of the Johnny Trudell Orchestra and freelanced with Detroit greats like Thornetta Davis\, Jocelyn B\, The Reefermen. Laith is a real road warrior who generally can be found playing at least five nights a week around Michigan and beyond.He has opened for artists like Kenny Wayne Shepherd\, Leon Russell\, Robben Ford\, Johnny Winter\, Hubert Sumlin\, Olu Dara\, Ten Years After\, Mountain\, The Yardbirds and—most notably—B.B. King at the House of Blues in Chicago. Laith has released three albums\; his latest\, \"Real\,\" was recorded with an all-star cast of L.A. session legends including Tom Scott on sax\, Jim Keltner on drums\, and Leland Sklar on bass. The soulful new album harkens back to the great musical traditions of New Orleans and Chicago with a splash of blues\, country\, gospel\, and roots rock\, and it's arguably Laith's best work to date.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"Enlightened Memory? On Remembering the Jewish Past in Contemporary Germany and Poland\"
DESCRIPTION:Since the early 1980s\, Germany and Poland have both been home to profound debate and reflection on the loss of their Jewish populations. This explosion of the past into the present is visible in a variety of media –– print\, film\, music\, and even food –– but it has been expressed most of all in the built environment. Across the region dilapidated synagogues and cemeteries have been restored\, Jewish streets recreated\, and Jewish museums built. Because Central Europe was the geographic epicenter of the Holocaust\, few other areas of Europe have attracted as much global interest and experienced such intense reflection on the Jewish genocide.\n\nAfter briefly surveying the postwar history of Polish\, German\, and Jewish encounters with the ruins of prewar Jewish life\, this lecture will turn to considering a broad and fundamental question: What seems to be at stake in remembering the Jewish past in contemporary Poland and Germany? What is the purpose of remembering\, if there is one? Of course\, multiple answers come to mind to these questions\, but this lecture will settle on one in particular\, namely a political meaning invested in memory by many progressive memory projects in Central Europe: the idea or belief that memory ought to function as a project of civic enlightenment. This interpretation of memory\, which Jürgen Habermas developed most thoroughly throughout the 1980s and 1990s\, views remembrance as an important component to building pluralistic and tolerant democracies. This lecture will sketch out this conception of memory before discussing some of the key tensions that underlie it.

DESCRIPTION:Downriver Wayne County resident Bill Bynum writes hardcore country and bluegrass songs steeped in the music his Southern-migrant parents brought to Detroit. Bill was recently profiled by the Associated Press\, and both his calendar and the venues he plays have been growing more crowded lately. \"My music is kind of a Southern roots-based acoustic music\, but I feel like I am very hard to box into a category\,'' he says. \"There's more emotional content to my music than probably most people's.'' It's the truth! Bill's band often includes local veterans Mary Seelhorst on fiddle\, John Lang on pedal steel\, and Chuck Anderson on bass. With songs both traditional and original\, and a sound that's at once as comfortable as old jeans and as fresh as a new blade of grass\, Bill Bynum & Co. is a band that’s easy to love and hard to quit.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Secret Sisters
DESCRIPTION:The Secret Sisters opened for Nickel Creek at the Michigan Theater this summer\, and they gained a great big army of new fans! They initiate new traditions on their second full-length album\, \"Put Your Needle Down\,\" produced by the legendary T-Bone Burnett. The duo of Laura and Lydia Rogers has certainly come a long way from their critically acclaimed 2010 self-titled debut and an even longer way from their childhood in Florence\, Alabama—just outside of the legendary music mecca Muscle Shoals. “Put Your Needle Down is symbolic of many different things\,” affirms Lydia. “There’s a rebirth of the vinyl trend going on\, but it really represents the fact that we’re not little girls anymore. We want to put the needle down. Our mom isn’t still sewing our clothes. We’re doing our own thing.” Laura and Lydia apply a classic Southern sibling-harmony sound to a gumbo of country\, Americana\, blues\, folk\, and gospel\, and the result is an exciting new style that is deeply rooted in tradition but totally contemporary. Tulsa singer and guitarist Jacob Tovar opens the show with his band\, The Saddle Tramps.

SUMMARY:Performance:Michael McDermott
DESCRIPTION:Michael McDermott’s brand of rock n’ roll brims with the kind of well-honed style and wisdom that can only come from a career on the road and a pedigree in the studio. Effortlessly blending natural folk sensibility\, pop hooks\, and honest rock\, McDermott’s music is as much for the outcast as the congregation. It’s an exploration of the dark corners of life’s journey and it resonates middle class truths through the passionate filter of a kid that grew up on Chicago’s Irish South Side.\n\nIf you are a fan of Springsteen\, Van Morrison\, John Steinbeck\, Patti Smith … McDermott’s inspirational rock is in your wheelhouse\, waiting late night with a guitar\, spare smokes and stories of the American heart. \n\n“McDermott’s music helped me to find a part of myself that wasn’t lost\, as I had feared\, but only misplaced. That’s why we love the ones who are really good at it\, I think: because they give us back ourselves\, all dusted and shined up\, and they do it with a smile…Michael McDermott is one of the best songwriters in the world and possibly the greatest undiscovered rock & roll talent of the last 20 years” -Stephen King

SUMMARY:Performance:Susan Werner
DESCRIPTION:Chicagoan Susan Werner is a triple threat at folk awards ceremonies with her luxuriously smooth and strong voice (she's a former opera singer)\, riveting lyrics\, and haunting melodies. \"Werner writes songs so true\, you'll never know if she lived them or just dreamed them up\,\" says the San Diego Union Tribune.

SUMMARY:Performance:Bill Staines
DESCRIPTION:Now in his sixth decade of performing\, Bill Staines tells heartfelt stories in song of places he's been and people he's met. Bill's songs have turned into folk standards\, running through the repertoires of several generations of performers including Jerry Jeff Walker\, Grandpa Jones\, Fairport Convention\, Priscilla Herdman\, Gordon Bok\, Aiofe Clancy\, and Peter\, Paul and Mary. He's a champion yodeler\, a wit to match the standup world's best\, a guitarist with a unique style (a southpaw\, he plays a right-handed guitar upside down)\, and a musician with a gift for instantly memorable tunes that are liable to turn into singalongs at any time. Says Nanci Griffith (for whom Staines's \"Roseville Fair\" has been a longtime staple): \"Bill Staines has been my hero since 1977. He carries on where Woody left off—carrying on the tradition of stories and characters you wish you knew.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Tom Chapin
DESCRIPTION:The younger brother of Harry Chapin and the son of renowned drummer Jim Chapin\, Tom Chapin has the knack of appealing equally to adults and children. He's one of the very few artists who've garnered Grammy nominations in both categories. Tom's last few albums have had a good deal of political content. and you can request such Chapin favorites as \"Total Security Solutions\, Inc.\" along with favorites from his four-decade career. Tom's been honing his way with an audience ever since his days in New York State's 1960s folk scene\, and by now he's a tremendous storyteller as well as a continuously vital songwriter. He comes to Michigan with an as-yet-untitled new release. Tom says: \"Adult shows contain music from Tom's Grownup recordings\, and will most likely include a mix of original songs\, a traditional song or two\, a few kid's songs and a couple of Harry Chapin songs. The material is not off-color\, but the topics may not capture the interest of children.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Aoife O'Donovan & Noam Pikelny
DESCRIPTION:Hailed by the Chicago Tribune as the “pros’ top banjo picker\,\" Noam Pikelny is a founding member of Punch Brothers\, a string ensemble which the Boston Globe calls “a virtuosic revelation\" and the New Yorker describes as “wide-ranging and restlessly imaginative.\" In September of 2010\, Noam was awarded the first annual Steve Martin Prize for Excellence in Banjo and Bluegrass.Noam continues to broaden the awareness of the banjo in the mainstream through recent collaborations with Wilco\, Fiona Apple\, Norah Jones\, Lindsey Buckingham\, and Punch Brothers’ feature song on ”The Hunger Games” soundtrack. He's also a formidable traditional player who amazed the bluegrass world last year with his album \"Noam Pikelny Plays Kenny Baker Plays Bill Monroe.\"\n\nAoife O'Donovan (say EE-fa) hit the road as the lead singer and principal songwriter/song-finder of Crooked Still\, which grew into one of the world’s most acclaimed progressive string groups over the last decade. The versatility and appeal of her voice brought her to the attention of some of the most eminent names in music and led to collaborations across a wide variety of genres with everyone from Alison Krauss to Dave Douglas\, along with a role as vocalist on the Grammy-winning Goat Rodeo Sessions alongside Chris Thile\, Yo-Yo Ma\, Edgar Meyer and Stuart Duncan. he making of Aoife O’Donovan’s debut album Fossils has hardly been a glacial affair\, but it has spent rather more than a decade forming about in her creative subconscious. It was time well spent\, for she’s crafted a beautiful\, timeless record\, the natural evolution of an accomplished singer and songwriter.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Stray Birds
DESCRIPTION:Drawing upon the richness of American folk music traditions\, the signature power of the Stray Birds' sound lies in outstanding songwriting spun with a stirring subtlety and grace. The Stray Birds were born of a compelling collaboration between two unique writers and vocalists— the pure\, luxurious voice of Maya de Vitry and Oliver Craven's richness of tone and depth of delivery\, grounding their sound in the unshakeable groove of bassist Charles Muench. Their full-length debut\, \"The Stray Birds\,\" was lauded by radio stations and listeners across the country and named to the Top 10 Folk/Americana Releases of 2012 by NPR. Passionate live performances led to appearances on NPR’s Mountain Stage\, the Philadelphia Folk Festival\, the Kerrville Folk Festival\, and the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. This is a young trio with a unique vision married to a deep reverence for song.

SUMMARY:Performance:Grant-Lee Phillips & Howe Gelb
DESCRIPTION:Grant-Lee Phillips came on the scene as the visionary frontman of Grant Lee Buffalo in the 1990s. He has released seven solo albums. His latest\, \"Walking in the Green Corn\,\" explores his Native American ancestry. “Connecting to my ancestry is like having this deep trunk that’s embedded in the earth\, with deep roots. It was always something that was important to my grandmother\, who was Creek\, and to my mother. So\, after becoming a father\, I wanted to be able to answer all those questions I know I’ll be asked one day\, when my daughter takes an interest in where we come from\,” he says. Howe Gelb is one of American songwriting's great originals. He’s released about 30 albums with a variety of bands and about 20 solo albums\, including his latest\, \"The Coincidentalist\,\" which AllMusic calls “as poetic\, strange\, and mysterious as the desert itself.” He has described his music as “erosion rock” – music that changes with the elements on a daily basis—and he’s described himself as “endlessly restlessly wanderlusted encrusted\,.\" He divides his time between Denmark and Tucson\, Arizona. This is a double bill featuring two of the most original songwriters working today!

SUMMARY:Performance:Ryan Bingham
DESCRIPTION:Ryan Bingham is an Oscar-winning singer/songwriter\, born in New Mexico but raised all across the Southwestern United States. Bingham set out on his own at a young age\, shuffling from town to town and performing gigs at local no-frills bars. It’s this spirit of having done plenty of living early on\, that has informed the singer- songwriters world-weary and jagged\, weather-beaten vocals. \n\nBingham’s critically acclaimed debut album Mescalito (2007\, Lost Highway Records/UMG) won kudos from media outlets as varied as Rolling Stone\, Esquire and The Washington Post. His sophomore effort Roadhouse Sun (2008\, Lost Highway Records/UMG) then solidified his reputation as a serious artist. \n\nIn 2010 Bingham’s song “The Weary Kind” for the Crazy Heart Soundtrack earned him a Grammy\, Oscar\, Golden Globe and Americana Artist of the Year Award. The song also led to his collaboration with T Bone Burnett\, who produced his third studio album Junky Star (2010\, Lost Highway Records/UMG.) Junky Star received rave reviews from critics and fans alike\, saying “Ryan Bingham’s songs will still be around long after the Oscar Glow is gone. This dude is writing for the ages.” “The most authentic-sounding troubadour in ages.” “Another strong collection of tough\, dark Americana ballads.”\n\nIn early 2012\, Bingham decided to move on from Lost Highway Records/UMG to start his own Axster Bingham Records with wife Anna Axster. Together with co-producer Justin Stanley (Eric Clapton\, Sheryl Crow)\, Bingham recorded his fourth studio album Tomorrowland at a makeshift studio in a friend’s empty house in Malibu\, Calif. Tomorrowland contains plenty of the pliant acoustic guitar work that has marked Bingham’s previous studio sets\, but the album expands his musical landscape exponentially\, adding Guitar howls into keyboards and drum stomps against strings\, all bolstered by Bingham’s familiar\, raspy voice. \n\nBingham will be releasing his 5th studio album in early 2015.

DESCRIPTION:Over the past four decades\, Robyn Hitchcock has built a large and distinctive body of work that's established him as one of rock's most respected and beloved iconoclasts. Drawing on roots in the music of John Lennon\, Bob Dylan\, and the New Wave\, his unique songs veer from comic surrealism to slightly melancholy pictures of everyday life and the slightly eccentric people who live it--all set to gorgeous melodies and harmonies. Of his album \"Olé Tarantula\, he said\, “To me\, the whole record is sadness cloaked in fun. But under that sadness\, more fun\,” he says. Robyn comes to Michigan for his first new show in seven years with several recent releases including \"The Man Upstairs\,\" which reimagines the songs of the Psychedelic Furs and others as folk ballads. Nashville Americana artist and recent American Songwriter Writer of the Week Lera Lynn opens.

SUMMARY:Performance:Ben Daniels Band
DESCRIPTION:Maybe you saw The Ben Daniels Band in concert this summer with his father\, actor Jeff Daniels. Now it's time to experience Ben as an independent voice. When Ben Daniels decided he was going to be a musician\, it was more than a career choice. A natural poet\, this young songwriter went to school on Bob Dylan\, Robert Johnson\, and Jack White\, among others. His lyrics speak directly to a younger generation that hears\, sees\, and thinks about the very things he’s writing. From their opening song to the finale of their set\, the Ben Daniels Band cuts through with their originality\, musicianship\, and a sound that spans blues\, reggae\, hip hop\, and even jazz. The Ben Daniels Band believes in hard work\, perseverance\, and creatively challenging themselves and their audience with a sound that might be described as blues for today.

DESCRIPTION:Mix the Hot Club of Paris with the sweaty soul of Dixieland\, a couple blades of bluegrass\, a pinch of ragtime beat\, and a western swinging swagger\, and you've just conjured the washboard-driven sound of The Appleseed Collective. Since their 2012 debut album\, \"Baby to Beast\,\" this band has encapsulated a century's worth of music with fresh perspective. \"The blends of swing\, bluegrass\, Dixieland ditties and alluring gypsy-folk whirls—is something close to a transcendent listen ... you're there\, on some dirtroad\, being led on by these songs\,\" says reviewer Jeff Milo of iSpy magazine. The Appleseed Collective has been getting attention from as far away as the UK\, and their 2014 Ann Arbor Folk Festival appearance put them on the musical radar of a whole lot of people. They're now back from a tour that hit some great venues around the Mountain West\, and they're most definitely a roots Michigan band to watch.

SUMMARY:Performance:Sam Amidon + Band
DESCRIPTION:Vermont-born fiddler\, singer\, and banjoist Sam Amidon\, who is married to singer-songwriter Beth Orton\, plays and sings traditional folk songs in a whole new way. His new Nonesuch-label \"Lily-O\,\" might be said to reimagine traditional music The album was produced by Valgeir Sigurðsson (Björk\, Bonnie “Prince” Billy\, Feist) and features the innovative jazz guitarist and composer Bill Frisell\, along with Amidon’s other frequent collaborators\, bassist Shahzad Ismaily and drummer Chris Vatalaro.

SUMMARY:Performance:A Johnnyswim Christmas
DESCRIPTION:Johnnyswim is a Los Angeles-based duo composed of Amanda Sudano (who is disco queen Donna Summer's youngest daughter) and Abner Ramirez. The two began writing and singing together in Nashville and found that their similar influences of folk\, soul\, and rock blended together seductively\; they married in 2009\, and they've added a bit of Cuban spice and sultry French-movie atmosphere to their music since then. The name Johnnyswim comes from an episode involving Sudano's goldfish when she was little. The Nashville Tennessean describes Johnnyswim as \"a mix of Lauryn Hill and John Mayer\,\" and the duo\, stylish and romantic in music and attitude\, lives up to that billing. Johnnyswim appeared at the 2014 Ann Arbor Folk Festival\, and they return to The Ark with a romantic selection of seasonal tunes!

SUMMARY:Performance:The Lone Bellow w/sg Robert Ellis
DESCRIPTION:When songwriter Zach Williams met guitarist and fellow Southerner Brian Elmquist and vocalist Kanene Pipkin at Dizzy's Diner in Brooklyn for breakfast one morning in 2010\, the trio decided to jam. \"Three songs in\,\" Williams recalls\, \"I decided I should quit what I'm going and just make music with these people.\" The trio’s self-titled debut disc is exuberant in its playing\, welcoming in its attitude. Though the lyrics have a melancholic undercurrent\, the tracks are more often rave-ups than ruminations\, with swelling three-part harmonies and rousing group-sung choruses\, especially on the electric guitar-driven “The One You Should’ve Let Go” and “Green Eyes and A Heart of Gold\,” a we-will-survive anthem that could be about a family or a band. The name \"The Lone Bellow\" refers to a lonely bull Williams heard on a childhood family trip. Indeed\, there is a strong familial feel to The Lone Bellow\, a recurring theme of inclusiveness. Nashville songwriter Robert Ellis is tonight's special guest.

SUMMARY:Performance:Trinidad Tripoli Steel Band
DESCRIPTION:What could be better\, just as the weather in Michigan turns ugly\, than to celebrate the season tropical-style with the exuberant sounds of the Trinidad Tripoli Steelband? This group\, which took its name from the Marine Hymn\, goes back to the very beginnings of tuned steel pan music in Port-of-Spain\, Trinidad in the 1940s. (The steel pans were originally made from the tops of used oil drums discarded by U.S. military forces.) Based in Ypsilanti and known all over the world\, they've had an amazing career that has included opening (as the Esso Trinidad Steelband) for Liberace\, performing for Queen Elizabeth\, receiving the Golden Medal of Merit from President Ronald Reagan\, and winning the \"bomb\" prize at Trinidad's national Panorama steel band competition\, given for best arrangement of a European classical composition for steel band (check out their all-steel pan version of Khachaturian's \"Sabre Dance\" sometime!). All of which tells you that their occasional holiday show is a very special festivity and a real southeast Michigan institution that everyone should experience at least once.

SUMMARY:Performance:Delbert McClinton
DESCRIPTION:Delbert McClinton grew up singing and playing in the gutbucket clubs of Fort Worth\, and in a sense he's never left. He still has a voice that will roar through the noise of a barroom or through any kind of mental clutter you might bring to one of his concerts. Delbert and his band backed the absolute royalty of deep blues as they came through town—Jimmy Reed\, Sonny Boy Williamson\, Bobby \"Blue\" Bland\, and the incomparable Howlin' Wolf—and all that he saw and heard\, he absorbed and passes along in his own music. (He gave John Lennon some pointers on the harmonica\, to boot.) Delbert hasn't slowed down a bit! He's still offering raw\, passionate American honky-tonk singing at its best. Delbert's December shows have become something of an Ark tradition\, so don't delay on getting tickets! Delbert's latest release\, \"Blind\, Crippled and Crazy\,\" reunites him with fellow Texas bluesman Glen Clark.

SUMMARY:Performance:Adam Plomaritas/Jason Dennie w/Thunderwüde
DESCRIPTION:Ypsilanti songwriter Adam Plomaritas draws on the words of John Coltrane to describe his own art: \"My music is the spiritual expression of what I am – My faith\, my knowledge\, my being ... When you begin to see the possibilities of music\, you desire to do something really good for people\, to help humanity free itself from its hang-ups ... I want to speak to their souls.\" He writes about things that happen every day\, his family\, and the struggle to live a good life. \"I tend to think of myself as a rational person\, but music is a place where I can feel\,\" he says. \"Music can be—should be—emotional. The music I make is about what I love\, what I hate\, what I enjoy and what I fear. I think that the idea that heaven is a place full of music is a profound one. Music gives us an opportunity to both touch and be touched by something greater than ourselves.\" \n\nBorn out of a need for bluegrass in the Chelsea area\, and a weekly gig at the Chelsea Alehouse\, Thunderwüde (coined by Fred VanReesma) became a band after a series of sessions done by Jason Dennie\, George Merkel and West Fritzemeier at the Alehouse. First starting as mostly a traditional bluegrass outfit\, it morphed into playing originals from Jason as well as current pop hits in a bluegrass style. The repertoire expanded to range from Bill Monroe to Townes Van Zandt to some choice sountrack selections from blockbuster hits.

SUMMARY:Performance:George Winston
DESCRIPTION:Solo pianist George Winston grew up mainly in Montana\, and also spent his later formative years in Mississippi and Florida. During this time\, his favorite music was instrumental rock and instrumental R&B\, including Floyd Cramer\, the Ventures\, Booker T & The MG’s\, Jimmy Smith\, and many more. Inspired by R&B\, jazz\, blues and rock (especially the Doors)\, George began playing organ in 1967. In 1971 he switched to the acoustic piano after hearing recordings from the 1920s and the 1930s by the legendary stride pianists Thomas “Fats” Waller and the late Teddy Wilson. In addition to working on stride piano\, he also at this time came up with this own style of melodic instrumental music on solo piano\, called folk piano. In 1972\, he recorded his first solo piano album\, \"Ballads and Blues 1972\,\" for the late guitarist John Fahey’s Takoma label. His latest solo piano release is \"Love Will Come—The Music Of Vince Guaraldi\, Vol. 2\,\" which features compositions by the late jazz pianist\, including pieces from the Peanuts® TV specials. Since 1980 George has released ten other solo piano albums: \"Autumn\" (1980)\, \"Winter Into Spring\" and \"December\" (1982)\, \"Summer\" (1991)\, \"Forest\" (1994)\, \"Linus & Lucy—The Music Of Vince Guaraldi\" (1996)\, \"Plains\" (1999)\, which was inspired by his eastern Montana upbringing\, \"Night Divides The Day The Music Of The Doors\" (2002)\, \"Montana—A Love Story\" (2004) and \"Gulf Coast Blues & Impressions—A Hurricane Relief Benefit\" (2006).

SUMMARY:Performance:Greg Brown
DESCRIPTION:Greg Brown's mother played electric guitar\, his grandfather played banjo\, and his father was a Holy Roller preacher in the Hacklebarney section of Iowa. Maybe that last item explains some of his amazing charisma! Greg's first professional singing job came at age 18 in New York City\, running hootenannies at the legendary Gerdes Folk City. After a year\, Greg moved west to Los Angeles and Las Vegas\, where he was a ghostwriter for Buck Ram of the Platters. Over more than four decades on the road\, Greg has developed into the essential Midwestern songwriter\, with a deep feeling for what makes people and communities hang together. He's a compelling performer\, aware that in folk music less is usually more and that the intimate musical detail communicates as well as the grand gesture.

SUMMARY:Performance:Jill Jack Birthday Bash
DESCRIPTION:Jill Jack’s annual birthday bash has become a New Year's tradition at The Ark! Jill's magical connection to her audience is the result of her generous artistry. By combining her gifts as a conceptual visionary with a warm gathering of musical influences\, Jill touches that secret heart of ours with her melodies and lyrics. In her hometown of Detroit\, Jill needs no further explanation. She’s been lauded in equal measure to her talents: Since 1997 she’s won 37 Detroit Music Awards in every conceivable category that applies to a singer-songwriter. Much of this provincial success is due to her charming stage presence and emotive songwriting. It’s simply called connecting\, and it’s the bounty of a true songwriter open to all of life: her own defeats\, victories\, hopes dashed\, dreams fulfilled\, her muse\, her loneliness\, her misplaced love and her romantic successes. Jill extends the tradition of the confessional (i.e. achingly open\, unafraid of intimacy) singer-songwriter\, and is proud of that style and its continuation. Plus she’s a strong woman who’s won over the toughest town in a man’s world—she’s a bandleader\, the principal songwriter in a large group bearing her own name\, an employer and automatic arbiter of musicians' issues.

SUMMARY:Performance:Earthwork Music Collective Tour
DESCRIPTION:Beginning with Seth Bernard and May Erlewine\, northwestern Lower Michigan's Earthwork Music Collective has sent a long parade of terrific young musicians The Ark's way.

We're excited to bring a group of Earthwork-associated musicians together for an evening of music! Keep an eye on theark.org for confirmed musicians for this event.

SUMMARY:Performance:Steve Forbert
DESCRIPTION:When Mississippi songwriter and former truck driver Steve Forbert first came on the scene in the late 1970s he was hailed as a new Southern Bob Dylan. He's shown the same kind of career longevity\, but there's a warmth and innocence in his love songs that's all his own. Live and solo he's a magical presence\, drawing an audience into his highly original and observant music without ever raising the volume of his distinctive rasp above conversation level. Steve has been incredibly prolific over the years\, and each of his albums and shows is different. His latest album\, \"Over with You\,\" is a focused song cycle featuring a plainspoken account of the mixed emotions involved in personal relationships. Come by and pick up a copy of Steve's album \"Good Soul Food: Live at The Ark\"!

SUMMARY:Performance:The DeCamp Sisters & Jack and the Bear
DESCRIPTION:Here's a pair of bands to show you the directions in which Michigan music is going! The DeCamp Sisters are a redheaded\, genre-defying\, touring and recording duo\, formed in 2013 and based out of a small town in Michigan\, formed in 2013. Crafting original songs on primarily guitar and banjo\, accompanied by violin\, and supported by timeless harmonies\, they relay often haunting tales of human\, animal\, environmental\, and political struggles\, inquisitions\, and triumphs. They have recently released their second EP\, titled \"Quick\, Efficient\, & Deadly\,\" recorded by Adam Schreiber\, of Jack & the Bear. Speaking of which ... discover\, Jack and the Bear! Forged on the shores of Bolles Harbor\, Michigan\, near Monroe\, J&TB is a five-piece ensemble of super-attractive\, acutely talented people. Playing real instruments and creating real music\, they have earned theor slogan: “The greatest thing you’ll ever see\, probably.” For starters\, they've been described as a Broadway musical meets Bruce Springsteen.

SUMMARY:Performance:Dobet Gnahoré
DESCRIPTION:Dobet Gnahoré\, a singer\, dancer and percussionist from the Ivory Coast\, inherited the force of the “Bété“ tradition from her father\, Boni Gnahoré\, a master percussionist who plays with the Abidjan-based Ki-Yi Mbock Company\, directed by Werewere Liking. In this artistic collective Dobet learned music\, dans\, theatre during several years. It was within this Ivory Coast-based company that Dobet met French guitarist Colin Laroche de Féline\, who went there to immerse himself in African melodies and rhythms. Having spent some time in the well-known Tché Tché dance company\, Dobet decided with Colin (in 1999) to form a twosome\, Ano Neko\, which means “Let’s create together“ in Bété language. On stage\, her voice\, her charisma and her huge presence\, the result of several years theatrical and choreographic work\, has great audience appeal.

SUMMARY:Performance:Elliott Brood
DESCRIPTION:Formed in 2002\, Elliott Brood (the name is a bastardized homage to the femme-fatale character in the 1984 baseball film \"The Natural\") united teenage pals Mark Sasso and Casey Laforet over their grown-up love for Neil Young\, The Band and the Flying Burrito Brothers. Stephen Pitkin was an accidental miracle: he fell into the group after working sound at one of their earliest concerts\, offering to record their first EP. \"Tin Type\" was a college radio hit\, and soon this compact trio was making some big noise. Across five subsequent albums\, sharing vocals and trading instruments— each of the band-members seems to play everything—Elliott Brood has become one of the premier acts in Canadian roots music. Their sound is accessible but not mainstream\, alternative but not tragically hip. Elliott Brood comes to Michigan with a new release\, \"Work and Love.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Dick Siegel
DESCRIPTION:Dick Siegel\, the author of such classics as \"Angelo's (Eggs Over Easy\,\" has inspired plenty of songwriters in Michigan and beyond. Recently he's been showing up at next-generation roots events like Hollerfest and fitting right in. Dick is an immensely gifted and versatile composer. Ranging from jump blues and Buddy Holly-style pop to folk balladry and new folk lyricism\, his songs offer all sorts of immediate lyrical and musical pleasures. Dick was named in WDET's list of the most important and influential artists in the history of Detroit\, alongside legends such as John Lee Hooker\, Stevie Wonder\, and Aretha Franklin. \"I'm celebratory—I celebrate life from the huge to the minute\, from the tragic to the hilarious\,\" he explains. In concert\, he expertly steps into the roles of a raconteur\, a confidante\, your best friend\, a prophet\, a comedian\, a pair of eyes on the universe\, and an interpreter of daydreams.

SUMMARY:Performance:Gregory Alan Isakov
DESCRIPTION:Born in Johannesburg\, South Africa\, raised in Philadelphia\, and calling Colorado home\, Gregory Alan Isakov has been traveling all his life. His songs have a masterful quality beyond his years\, and they tell a story of miles and landscapes\, and the search for a sense of place. Music for Gregory has been a stabilizing and constant force. “I’ve always had this sense about music and writing that I sort of have to do it. Like I’ll implode without it. I probably wouldn’t do it if I felt any other way\,” he says. Gregory Alan Isakov has developed the kind of songcraft that leads to the deepest lyrical masterpieces. With hints of his influences\, Leonard Cohen and Iron and Wine\, he has developed a strong and subtle voice of his own. “It’s impossible to know Isakov and not want to shout his name from the mountaintops\,\" says the Denver Post. Songwriter Nathaniel Rateliff is tonight's special guest.

SUMMARY:Performance:Studebaker John
DESCRIPTION:Studebaker John Grimaldi was born in an Italian-American section of Chicago and started playing harmonica at age seven. Under the spell of music he heard on Maxwell Street\, Chicago’s famed blues melting pot\, he formed Studebaker John & the Hawks and began in the performing in the 1970s. The band name referred to the Studebaker Hawk\, a car Grimaldi still owns today\, and was also intended as a tribute to his friend\, J.B. Hutto and the Hawks. As a songwriter and musician\, Studebaker John has emerged more than a revivalist—he's a major creative force in the world of the blues today. He draws on any number of blues styles\, from the old-time Maxwell Street sound to the hard-rocking barroom blues of the 1960s and 1970s\, making them all his own. He comes to Michigan with a new album\, \"Waiting on the Sun\,\" that contains 80 minutes of all-original music.

They also sing their own songs\, as well as poetry they've set to music.

SUMMARY:Performance:Paula Cole
DESCRIPTION:Grammy winner Paula Cole has released six solo albums over her 20-year career. She has sold approximately three million albums and has performed with icons in many genres of music from Peter Gabriel to Dolly Parton. Poetic and fiercely touching\, intelligent writing makes Cole stand apart. Her compositions have been covered by Herbie Hancock\, Annie Lennox\, and Katherine McPhee\, to name a few. From a small town in Massachusetts\, Paula Cole was raised in a musical family with whom she and her daughter remain close. She is a scholarship alumna from Berklee College of Music with a background in jazz\, received her first record deal with a jazz label (which she declined)\, and has collaborated with many jazz artists. Paula teaches and gives clinics in a spirit of giving back to the circle of music. With a loving allegiance to her fans\, she maintains loyal communication online and after her live shows. As the first woman in history to solely produce and receive the Best Producer Grammy nomination (for her work on “This Fire”)\, Paula has broken boundaries with a searcher’s spirit. From her top-ten hits of the 1990s to her more recent critically acclaimed albums\, Paula Cole continues to write\, produce\, record\, and perform heartfelt\, meaningful\, lasting music that defies categorization.

SUMMARY:Performance:Black Jake & The Carnies
DESCRIPTION:Black Jake & the Carnies set fierce murder ballads\, dark warnings\, and a certain tough rust-belt revivalism to the beat of an old-time string band. This octet offers a unique blend of Americana\, bluegrass\, and punk\, as well as a stage show that can be very unpredictable (you may have foam rubber balls thrown at you if past performance is any predictor of future results. Steve Leggett of the All Music Guide writes that Black Jake plays \"a kind of raucous acoustic Americana that tosses post-modern Appalachian murder ballads\, Irish drinking songs\, skewed\, twisted love songs and general cautionary tales into a stylistic blender that has them sounding like nothing so much as a maverick\, hopped-up punk polka band in full 21st-century everything-fits jug band mode\"—and that just about covers it! The Carnies are from Ypsilanti\, but with performances at Nashville's Music City Roots and beyond\, their dark legend is spreading.

SUMMARY:Performance:Kathy Mattea
DESCRIPTION:West Virginia-born Kathy Mattea (muh-TAY-a) has been one of country's top-level stars over the last three decades\, building bridges to Nashville's serious songwriting community with such hits as Tim O'Brien's \"Untold Stories.\" She has \"18 Wheels and a Dozen Roses\" and a few other great American anthems to her name\, but after the Sago mine disaster of 2006 she began to think about something new—an album of songs about her native coal country. \"Coal\" was an extraordinary personal statement from an artist of Kathy's stature\, and she's followed it up with more music rooted in her native Appalachia\, including the bluegrass-oriented \"Calling Me Home.\" Kathy Mattea has always been recognized as one of country's classiest acts\, and she puts on a live show matched by few others in the business.

SUMMARY:Performance:Frank Vignola & Vinny Raniolo
DESCRIPTION:The music of Long Island–born Frank Vignola breaks down the barriers between popular music and traditional jazz to create a unique acoustic string music experience. Several years ago he joined forces with young guitarist Vinny Raniolo\, and though they've played together in ensembles of various sizes\, it's as a duo that they really get cooking. The two mix original material with unique renditions of contemporary tunes to create a smoking-hot blend of contemporary acoustic rock\, gypsy jazz\, bluegrass\, swing\, and blues. The late guitar titan Les Paul named Frank Vignola as one of the five guitarists he admires most\, and with Vinny Raniolo he plays a show that goes beyond high energy. It's jazz in overdrive\, both technically and conceptually!

SUMMARY:Performance:Mountain Heart
DESCRIPTION:Mountain Heart makes super-powered bluegrass that can tear the house down! Take five of the finest\, most innovative musicians in bluegrass\, influenced by musical sounds from Lynyrd Skynyrd\, Stevie Ray Vaughn\, James Taylor\, and the Dave Matthews Band to George Jones\, Bill Monroe\, Flatt & Scruggs\, Alison Krauss & Union Station\, Ricky Skaggs\, and the David Grisman Quintet—and you've got the dynamic bluegrass music of Mountain Heart.

SUMMARY:Performance:Garnet Rogers
DESCRIPTION:One of a pair of brothers who spearheaded a tremendous renaissance in Canadian songwriting in the 1970s and 1980s\, Garnet Rogers tells detailed stories of people from all walks of life and their small\, everyday victories. He can shift from seriousness to razor-sharp wit in a heartbeat\, he can turn songs into remarkable extended james\, and no two of his shows are the same. Nearly six and a half feet tall\, he has a striking stage presence\, and he can mix acoustic and electric textures in a dozen ways. Says Dirty Linen: \"He knows and captures what is real and lasting—the joyous\, contradictory poetry of living\,\" and Canada's Kitchener Record praises his \"visionary songs of haunting and mysterious power.\" Garnet comes to The Ark with \"Summer's End\,\" his first new album of original material since 2004!

DESCRIPTION:Mississippi songwriter Charlie Mars was featured in a Vogue magazine feature and has been romantically linked to Mary-Louise Parker\, but he's much more than just a pretty face. His songs are based on simple grooves that express themes of wonderment\, personal self-destruction\, and yes\, sexuality\; they're hardwired to the heart and the hips. Charlie Mars has been a journeyman artist with all the ups and downs that entails\, from major-label releases and high-profile gigs opening for the likes of REM\, KT Tunstall\, Citizen Cope\, Steve Earle\, among others\, from uncertainty to redemption. Now he's more than ready for his first headlining tour\, and he comes to Michigan with a new release\, \"The Money.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Ladysmith Black Mambazo
DESCRIPTION:In 2014\, Ladysmith Black Mambazo—led by founder and leader Joseph Shabalala—celebrates more than 50 years of joyous and uplifting music. Within this music are the intricate rhythms and harmonies of their native South African musical traditions.The group borrows heavily from a traditional music called isicathamiya (is-cot-a-ME-Ya)\, which developed in the mines of South Africa\, where black workers were taken by rail to work far away from their homes and their families. Assembled in the early 1960s in South Africa by Joseph\, then a young farmboy turned factory worker\, the group took the name Ladysmith Black Mambazo. Ladysmith is the name of Joseph’s hometown\, about three hours west of Durban and three hours east of Johannesburg\; Black being a reference to the oxen\, the strongest of all farm animals\; and Mambazo being the Zulu word for chopping axe\, a symbol of the group’s ability to “chop down” any singing rival who might challenge them. A radio broadcast in 1970 opened the door to their first record contract – the beginning of an ambitious discography that currently includes more than 50 recordings (including Paul Simon's \"Graceland\") and has earned three Grammy awards.

DESCRIPTION:A legend of the folk scene\, David Bromberg got his start in Greenwich Village coffee houses scene in the mid-1960s. His extraordinary guitar picking and exceptional stylistic range developed over the next decade. David's live shows\, rarer since he took up violin-making full time\, range from Texas swing to bluegrass\, blues\, classical music\, and anything else that might cross his mind. In the words of the New York Times\, Bromberg \"has such control of his audience that he can\, at one moment\, hold it in his hand with a tender\, touching yet funny anecdotal song\, and then set it romping and stomping with a raucous bit of raunch. He is electrifying.\" We might add that he picked up on the humor in country and classic blues as well as anyone else in the folk revival scene\, making his shows a great deal of fun. David appears this evening with his all-virtuoso quintet.

SUMMARY:Performance:Suzanne Westenhoefer
DESCRIPTION:Suzanne Westenhoefer is brave\, bold\, and comic gold. The real deal in a post-modern world seeking to pump out reproductions\, Suzanne is the reigning shtick chick worth noting. Her individual style and unique sense of self set the stage for all walks of life—young\, old\, gay\, straight\, lesbian\, bi\, and every descriptor imaginable in between. When you’ve lived life\, you talk about it. When you’re a comedienne living life\, you really talk about it. For instance\, how do you refer to your new girlfriend’s parents while updating your status on Facebook … at their house … over Christmas? In-laws doesn’t quite seem the appropriate term. Neither does out-laws (that might imply divorce—assuming you’re in a state that even allows marriage\, much less divorce) … there isn’t really a term that seems appropriate. Suzanne has been especially adept at bringing her own experiences into her routines. She’s a brand-new woman every time\, and she’ll take you for a ride on the wild side. All aboard!

SUMMARY:Performance:Rana Farhan: Fusion Jazz
DESCRIPTION:“An exciting and unique fusion of classic Persian poetry with contemporary jazz and blues.”\nIranian artist Rana Farhan sings in a cool bluesy style that transcends time and erases all borders\, wowing listeners worldwide. With each new release Rana redefines a genre that seems to be hers alone.\nBorn in Iran\, Rana grew up listening to any albums she could get her hands on\, fostering a love for American blues artists like Odetta and Leadbelly\; while rockin’ to Jimmy Hendrix and Janis Joplin.\nRana left Iran after graduating from Tehran University and she soon found herself in New York City\, exploring her talents in lacquer paintings and soaking in the sounds and music of Manhattan\, including the rich cultural district of Harlem where she discovered her love of jazz.\n\nIt was in New York that Rana first teamed with guitarist/ producer Steven Toub for her first full-length CD “The Blues Are Brewin’”\, a collection of American jazz and blues standards. Toub a veteran of New York’s rock and blues scene has recorded at such legendary studio’s as Electric Ladyland and The Power Station as well as performing in opening slots for Squeeze\, Robin Trower and Siouxsie and the Banshees.\n\nFarhan’s “I Return”\, a unique fusion of classical Persian poetry with contemporary blues and jazz music that really set the world on fire. After recording and distributing a track called “Rumi’s Prayer” over the internet\, the response from both American and International listeners was overwhelming. With a demand for more\, Farhan and Toub\, began writing and recording the album working off of both Rumi and Hafez\, compiling one of the most sensitive fusions of two distant cultures.\nRana’s virtual popularlity in Iran is what led Iranian filmmaker Bahman Ghobadi to feature her in his award winning film\, “No One Knows About Persian Cats.”  Ghobadi says Rana is an important figure in the Iranian music scene today. “Like a needle and thread\, Rana stitches East and West together through her music.\"\n\nRana and Steven will be performing select songs alongside graduate Jazz students from the University of Michigan.

SUMMARY:Performance:Dave Alvin & Phil Alvin w/The Guilty Ones
DESCRIPTION:It took a near-death experience to reunite Dave Alvin and Phil Alvin\, the California brothers at the heart of \"roots heroes\" (Rolling Stone) The Blasters. \"Phil died and was brought back to life over in Spain\,\" Dave says of his brother's 2012 health scare. \"That was a real wakeup call to me. We hadn't made a full album together since 1985\, but as you get older\, you realize you're not immortal and you've only got so much time.\" It only made sense\, then\, that for their first record together in three decades\, the Alvin brothers would go back to where it all started and pay tribute to one of their original shared musical heroes: Big Bill Broonzy. \"I first remember seeing Big Bill's picture on an album cover that I bought when I was 14 or 15\,\" says Phil. \"I didn't really know who he was and came home and played it and was overwhelmed by him.\" \"We're brothers\, we argue sometimes\,\" Dave adds with a laugh\, \"but one thing we never argue about is Big Bill Broonzy.\" This is going to be a show with a deep sense of history—of the blues\, of the Blasters\, of American music.

SUMMARY:Performance:Béla Fleck and Abigail Washburn
DESCRIPTION:Says Béla Fleck about wife\, Abigail Washburn\, \"Abby and I have played as a duo since we first met\, trying impromptu duets at picking parties\, doing a few tunes at benefits\, and occasional radio shows together\, but we never took our act on the road—'til now. With the birth of our little boy Juno\, we decided that the best way to stay together more would be to play together more.\" Béla and Abigail are old friends of The Ark and favorites of Ann Arbor audiences\, and we're excited to present them for the first time as a duo. This is a picking partnership unlike any other on the planet! Béla Fleck is quite simply one of the world's most \ninnovative and brilliant banjo players. With the band New Grass Revival in the 1980s\, he took the nascent genre of progressive bluegrass into territories it had never seen. In 1988 he and bassist Victor Wooten formed Béla Fleck and the Flecktones. Their shows\, legendary in this area\, span genres from bluegrass to jazz to funk to classical to\, increasingly\, music of the whole world. Abigail Washburn took up the banjo in China\, where she realized she wanted to \nlearn traditional American music to present to her hosts and fell in love with the music of Doc Watson. She went on to perfect a fusion of bluegrass and Chinese music that was unlike anything else out there\, and her work since then has been daring and fearless. Béla Fleck and Abigail Washburn married several years ago\, but they didn't immediately try to turn their personal partnership into a musical one. Now they're ready\, and the result should be an evening of breathtaking originality.

SUMMARY:Performance:Trina Hamlin & Annie Keating
DESCRIPTION:Tough and tender\, Annie Keating’s twang-infused songs tell stories of hope and struggle with refreshing honesty\, grit\, and timelessness. The Village Voice raves that \"Keating is a wise mix of Lucinda Williams songwriting\, Gillian Welch guitar and a vocal all her own… a cross between Willie Nelson and John Prine\, and you don't get any better than that.” Minneapolis-to-NYC transplant Trina Hamlin has gained a national following for her unapologetic emotional freedom and her powerful\, bluesy songs of longing. She won the Most Wanted New Artist award at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival\, and her passionate \"Jacaranda\" was one of the highlights of the 2008 Ann Arbor Folk Festival. Trina accompanies her powerhouse alto voice with guitar\, piano\, or a wicked harmonica. Says Marilyn Rea Beyer of Boston's WUMB radio: \"Trina Hamlin's music smolders sweetly just before it sets the place on fire.

SUMMARY:Performance:Andy Shauf
DESCRIPTION:“It’s hard to explain if you’ve never lived here\,” sings Andy Shauf on the epic elegy “Wendell Walker\,” the centerpiece of his stunning new album \"The Bearer of Bad News.\" Andy makes it seem easy to coax forth beauty from the dimmest of corners\, forming gorgeous songs by conjuring vivid particulars of place and character through dark wordcraft\, a gooseflesh-inducing tenor and wide-open instrumentation. You feel him summoning energy from the loamy soil of his Saskatchewan homeland. You sense the hardscrabble shapes of Prairie landscapes and lives in his warm guitar tone\, wind-swept piano\, and lilting clarinet. At the same time\, like any great songwriter\, Shauf straddles the gulf between the particular and the universal\, uncovering big ideas and feelings in tiny moments and seemingly minor narratives. His lyrical references may be local\, but his sound on Bearer evokes timeless rock n’ roll that’s reminiscent of Paul Simon\, Nick Drake\, and Elliott Smith. With the help of his unusually intimate live performances\, Andy Shauf is deservedly garnering a reputation as an artist to keep your eyes and ears on—a seasoned songsmith who’s well worth your time.

SUMMARY:Performance:10 String Symphony
DESCRIPTION:Nashville's 10 String Symphony is an experiment in acoustic innovation. Although difficult to categorize\, their music is instantly recognizable as a blend of two distinct but equally vivacious musical voices\, encompassing “aggressive\, almost discordant\, celtic and dare I say punky string-chording experimentations” (The Bluegrass Situation).  Vocally\, Rachel Baiman and Christian Sedelmyer lock in seamlessly\, and their vocal duets often take center stage despite the fact that they are self-described fiddle players. Their desire to see just how far a two-fiddle\, two-vocals instrumentation could take them was the inspiration for the 10 String Symphony project. By the time their first full-length album was released in November 2012\, their instrumentation had expanded to include the occasional clawhammer banjo and resonator mandolin\, though still maintaining a stripped-down\, tightly woven and carefully arranged duo sound. Only two years old as a band\, the duo has already gained recognition and attention from some major festivals\, landing slots at the ROMP festival in Owensboro\, KY\, the Strawberry Music Festival in Yosemite\, CA\, and a headlining slot at the 2014 Auckland Folk Festival in New Zealand.

SUMMARY:Performance:Mipso
DESCRIPTION:The renegade traditionalists of Mipso are doing their part to take three-part harmony and Appalachian influences into new territory. Formed in Chapel Hill in 2010\, these four North Carolinians are touring the country to support their latest release\, “Dark Holler Pop.\" This band has wandered off the path blazed by Earl Scruggs and Doc Watson to find a new clearing for their Southern string band sound. In the process\, they’ve kicked up a fuss. IndyWeek heralded the band’s role in the reemergence of Southern roots music in North Carolina\, crediting Mipso with \"expanding the vocabulary of common touchstones\" for bluegrass. And all over the Southeast\, Mipso has been busy playing raucously fun live shows that veer from up-tempo original melodies to madcap acoustic covers of Michael Jackson. The group puts all the energy of a college club show into a form of music that predates clubs. And most colleges.

SUMMARY:Performance:Holly Williams
DESCRIPTION:The daughter of Hank Williams\, Jr. and granddaughter of Hank Williams\, Holly Williams released her debut album\, \"The Ones We Never Knew\" (Universal South)\, in 2004. She recently released her third\, \"The Highway\,\" on which she wrote or co-wrote all the music\, and 2015 Folk Festival audiences may have gotten their first look at this newest member of a great American musical family. It looks as though she's inherited the writing gene! Hailed by American Songwriter as a “sophisticated\, introspective singer/songwriter\,” Holly says\, “I think every artist has their coming of age record. This one definitely feels like mine in that there was such a shift with me through the process of this record. It was completed in exactly nine months to the day\, feeling somewhat like a birth.\" Speaking of which\, Holly recently had her first child\, so there's another generation on the way. Her songs land in a sweet spot between country and Americana. There's no mistaking that old lonesome sound in her knife-edged voice\, but she tells stories of characters who'd be more likely to appear in music by John Prine or Bruce Springsteen than in Hank Williams Jr. Holly is the owner of H. Audrey\, a designer women's boutique in Nashville.

With innovative arrangements blending the beauty of traditional melodies with the power of modern rhythms\, the group embraces the rollicking\, even brawling qualities of Lowland Anglo-Scots tunes but never loses sight of the almost mystical Highland Celtic core. \"The penetrating sound of the Highland bagpipes is a thread of ancient memory running through it all\,\" say the Tannahill Weavers\, widely acclaimed as Scotland's finest traditional band. The band's diverse repertoire spans the centuries with fiery instrumentals\, topical songs\, and original ballads. These versatile musicians have received worldwide accolades consistently over the years for exuberant performances and outstanding recording efforts that seemingly can't get better\, yet continue to do just that.

SUMMARY:Performance:Fred Eaglesmith
DESCRIPTION:Fred Eaglesmith is Ontario's roots-country original! There are other songwriters who populate their creations with small-time crooks\, small-town loners\, and working-class heroes. But Fred Eaglesmith's songs stand out for their edge of desperation and their raucous yet bemused humor—and for the incredible energy and on-the-edge quality of his live shows. Circulating on tour from his Ontario farm\, Fred harks back to an earlier era of roots music with his raw\, driving country soul. Best of all\, Fred's 20th album\, \"Tambourine\,\" draws on the spirit of pure 1960s rock and roll. He comes to town with his band The Traveling Steam Show\, which has lately jelled as a unit to a degree reminiscent of his great band of yore\, the Flying Squirrels.

SUMMARY:Performance:Altan
DESCRIPTION:Altan\, named for Loch Altan in Ireland's County Donegal\, has arguably had a wider impact on audiences over the quarter century than any other traditional Irish band. Their dynamic and warm live performances mix the most touching old Irish songs with hard-hitting reels and jigs\, and the band members' interest in and sheer enjoyment of each other musically is apparent even to audience members new to the Irish tradition. For the Irish music enthusiast\, Altan has a treasure trove of brilliant moves to offer: the mix of sounds from Donegal with outside influences\, the sheer virtuosity of the players\, the beauty\, delicate singing\, and down-to-earth charm of singer and fiddler Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh. Anywhere they go\, a concert by Altan is the Irish music event of the year. Q magazine raves that Altan's album \"The Red Crow\" is \"a triumphant restatement of the virtues of the traditional approach\,\" and the band is currently at work on a new album to be recorded in Nashville. It's a great time to check out this legendary group! Tonight's special guest is the extraordinary progressive banjoist Alison Brown.

SUMMARY:Performance:Solas
DESCRIPTION:The Philadelphia Inquirer has praised Solas for \"mind-blowing Irish folk music\, maybe the world's best.\" This Irish and Irish-American Celtic supergroup has not only captured the hearts and ears of fans in Ireland and all around the globe with their blend of Celtic traditional music\, folk and country melodies\, bluesy\, sometimes jazz-inspired improvisations\, and global rhythms. Their fans beyond the Celtic sphere include hip-hop producer Timbaland\, who sampled their music on his megahit \"All Y'all.\" Solas came together in 1996 with no plans to tour or record\, but popular demand led to international appearances and a series of acclaimed recordings. Their latest\, \"Shamrock City\,\" was called \"a deeply thoughtful\, imaginative collection of songs which grapple with the wealth of ideas and emotions inherent in the immigrant journey\" by FolkAlley.com Come see the band the Boston Globe (which ought to know) called \"the finest Celtic ensemble this country has ever produced.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Lloyd Cole
DESCRIPTION:The All Music Guide calls Lloyd Cole \"one of the most articulate and acute songwriters of the post-punk era.\" Considering how adventurous Lloyd has been with each release going back to his days with the Commotions in the 1980s\, everybody ought to check out this show just to see what the heck in next in his remarkable career. He's done sparse folk-rock\, ventured into electronics\, cabaret music with strings\, gorgeous alternative pop\, and more. This British-American artist is an underrated figure\, and a rare treat in our part of the world. Maybe it was Michigan's reputation for good golf courses that has drawn him here—he's said to have a passion for the sport. He comes to Michigan wiht a new release\, \"Standards\" (a rock album\, not an album of standards)\, of which the Daily Mail raved\; \"'Standards' is the work of a bristling\, alive and fresh-as-a-daisy master\, drawing on all of his experience for a mid-life career high.\"

DESCRIPTION:The legendary John Denver was a brilliant songwriter and a truly gifted performer. And his music lives on! Ted Vigil closely resembles John both physically and musically\, and he's carrying on the tradition. Ted is not an impersonator\, but rather sings a tribute to John Denver.

SUMMARY:Performance:Open Stage Showcase
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, the organizers of The Ark's monthly Open Stage pick one or two artists who they feel have really honed their stuff and are ready for prime time. This year's Open Stage Showcase features Scott Fab and Katie Pederson. Katie grew up with music\, got involved with the Indianapolis music scene as a student at Butler University\, and\, she says\, began training to be an entertainer at the Indianapolis dueling piano bar Howl at the Moon. She was one of six finalists that were chosen for the Sara Bareilles' Blessed Unrest Cover Contest. Katie released her debut EP\, \"Happimess\,\" in November 2013. Rather than reaching for sympathy or absolution\, Scott Fab disarms audiences with an almost churchlike reverence ... a voice that can charm through dark and heartfelt emotions. Near-hypnotic presence\, sincerity\, and always memorable performances have earned Scott Fab a well deserved reputation as a master songsmith in the Detroit area. He has advanced from coffeehouses to 15\,000-seat theaters\, sharing the stage with artists such as Sheryl Crow\, Patty Griffin and Grant-Lee Phillips among others.

SUMMARY:Performance:Lunasa
DESCRIPTION:Lúnasa is an Irish traditional band with a rhythmic difference. Rhythm—their ingenious application of it\, and their clear mastery of it—has made Lúnasa the single most influential and innovative band performing Irish instrumental music today. What Lúnasa has accomplished in their now decade-plus career has deeper precedent in jazz and progressive bluegrass\, and has made them unique in Celtic circles. Simply put\, Lúnasa welds the ancient soul of traditional instrumental Irish music to a new rhythmic framework\, one which breaks down the barrier between soloist and accompanist and creates a dynamic polyphony that preserves the dignity of their sources while placing the band firmly in the modern age. From day one\, the double bass of Trevor Hutchinson (formerly of The Waterboys) has been the band’s fulcrum. The presence of more young Irish bands featuring the double bass—a relative stranger to the genre—is testament to Hutchinson’s commanding presence on the instrument and his ability to invent an integral role for it where once there was none.

DESCRIPTION:Since the early 1960s\, Dan Hicks and his Hot Licks (and Lickettes) have deftly blended elements of swing\, jazz\, folk\, country\, \"acid mariachi\,\" and goodness knows what else to create the appealing sound he sometimes calls \"Folk Jazz.\" The lyrics of his songs range from the simply sublime to the sublimely ridiculous. Dan Hicks & The Hot Licks recently released the album \"Tangled Tales\,\" their first album of original material since 2004's \"Selected Shorts\,\" and it shows Dan's free spirit in fine form. There'll also be plenty of other slightly off-kilter (but never off-key) material from a singer-songwriter-bandleader who's a true American original! You can come by and pick up a copy of the new \"Best of Dan's 70th Birthday Celebration\" album\, recorded live at Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco.

Equal parts genius and buffoon\, this songwriter-comic-singer-poet-musician has become a cult hero and a pop icon\, with a show that appeals to college students\, stoners\, businessmen\, yuppies\, rednecks\, punks\, kids\, and/or your grandmother. Heywood intersperses his humorous observations of life with inventive\, bizarre songs\, sung and played in a variety of styles\, from folk\, to country to rock to pop\, and way beyond. His material works on several levels—it gets pretty deep into pop culture\, but you can also enjoy him just for his vocal style impersonations\, expert musicianship\, and just plain silliness. Heywood Banks has appeared on A&E's \"Evening at the Improv\,\" MTV's \"1/2 Hour Comedy Hour\,\" and \"Entertainment Tonight\,\" and he was the MC for both nights of the 2012 Ann Arbor Folk Festival.

Her work has been featured on the BBC\, Air America\, C-SPAN\, Free Speech TV and in 2010 it was read by a state representative in lieu of morning prayer at the Utah State Legislature . On her fifth full-length album  \"Flower Boy\,\" and in her second book\,  \"The Madness Vase\,\" Andrea Gibson’s poems continue to be a rallying cry for action and a welcome mat at the door of the heart’s most compassionate room. Says Metaphor Media: \"Gibson is among the nation’s most admired and emulated poets. Her verse is at once personal and political\, feminist and universal\, filled with incinerating verbs and metaphor\, and delivered with gut-punching urgency.” Songwriter Jesse Thomas opens.

SUMMARY:Performance:Darlingside & Tall Heights
DESCRIPTION:Tim Harrington and Paul Wright of Tall Heights got their start playing for spare change in Boston’s Faneuil Hall Marketplace. In a few short years since\, Tall Heights has performed alongside national acts like Laura Marling\, Ryan Montbleau\, Andrew Belle\, and Wild Child. For the duo’s debut full-length effort\, 2013's \"Man of Stone\"Tall Heights hits the home studio\, sinking deeper into the vast world they’ve meticulously built for two. The title track recalls a time when cavemen documented day-to-day existence on the walls of their stone-sheltered dwellings. The words “Emblems of cavemen they taught me / the importance of typing in bold” set the stage for the rest of the record and challenge a careful listener to view each song as a vital documentation of both the ordinary and the extraordinary.\n\nWith four distinct voices clustered around a single microphone\, Darlingside effortlessly draw audiences into their lush musical world. David Fricke of Rolling Stone describes them as “a quartet with a rich line in acoustic textures and chamber-rock dynamics.” The band’s sound\, characterized by classical strings\, tight vocal arrangements\, bluegrass and rock instrumentation\, and smart lyricism\, is the product of complete collaboration among the four close friends. The group has no frontman\; instead\, lead vocals are traded from moment to moment\, and each song features a new combination of instruments and textures\, pulling heavily from folk\, retro-pop\, barbershop\, and chamber music.

DESCRIPTION:The Good Lovelies are not your run-of-the-mill \"all-girl\" band. At a time when too many of us are affected by gloom\, doom\, and world events\, these three women are the perfect antidote. Recent winners of a Juno award for Roots Album of the Year and the New Emerging Artist Award from the Canadian Folk Music Awards\, the Good Lovelies are making waves across Canada and now beyond. Aptly named\, the Good Lovelies are Caroline Brooks\, Kerri Ough and Sue Passmore\, all of them best friends and refugees from solo careers. They make up a folk-roots and western swing trio\, based in Toronto\, that relies on unerring three-part vocal harmonies\, clever songs\, and often convulsively funny repartee.

SUMMARY:Performance:Shakey Graves with Special Guest Nikki Lane
DESCRIPTION:This show is sold out.\n\n“The first album was me wanting to burn down my life\, cut my hair off\, and run screaming into the woods\,” says Alejandro Rose-Garcia. “This album is the trials and tribulations of becoming domesticated\, letting people into your world and letting go of selfishness—the story of becoming a pair\, losing that\, and reconciling with the loss and gain of love.”\n\nRose-Garcia is professionally known as Shakey Graves\, and with his new record\, And the War Came\, he extends the ground—emotionally and sonically—broken by his 2011 self-released debut album\, Roll the Bones\, which brought him national acclaim and\, three years later\, still ranks near the top of Bandcamp’s digital best-seller charts.\n\nRoll the Bones established the powerful\, mesmerizing Shakey Graves sound of Rose-Garcia accompanying himself on guitar and a handmade kick drum built out of an old suitcase. NPR Music named him one of 10 artists music fans “should’ve known in 2012\,” describing him as “astonishing…unclassifiably original. And frighteningly good.” Paste included him in a “Best of What’s Next” feature\, praising his “gnarly composite of blues and folk\,” while The New York Times observed that Shakey Graves “makes the one-man band approach look effortless.”\n\nBut while this distinctive arrangement continued to earn him an ever-expanding fan base on the road\, Rose-Garcia knew that he wanted the follow-up to achieve something different. “With the first album\, I didn’t have any expectations except my own\,” he says. “This time\, I was making something people were going to listen to out of the gate. I tried to maintain everything I enjoy about recording\, the weird homemade aspect\, but I was seeking a new\, shining sound quality. The concepts for the songs are a little bigger. This is not the ‘Mr\, Folk\, Hobo Mountain’ album—it’s more of the Cyborg Shakey Graves. It’s definitely the next step in the staircase.”\n\nAn experienced actor who had a recurring role on Friday Night Lights and appeared in several of Robert Rodriguez films\, Rose-Garcia started making music as part of New York City’s “anti-folk” scene. While knocking around the underground music community in Los Angeles\, he saw a performance by one-man band Bob Log III that pointed his work in a new direction. Since returning to Austin\, Rose-Garcia has become so closely associated with his hometown that for the last three years\, Austin has celebrated “Shakey Graves Day” by mayoral proclamation.\n\nTo record And the War Came\, co-producer/collaborator Chris Boosahda brought all of his gear to Rose-Garcia’s house and converted the space into a big\, open studio. Though the signature Shakey Graves set-up remained the starting point\, other instrumentalists came in and multiple\, wildly different arrangements of the songs were attempted for what was initially planned as a double album.\n\nMost notably\, Rose-Garcia wrote and sings three of the album’s songs with Esme Patterson\, a solo artist and member of the Denver-based band Paper Bird. “We started out just having fun and writing\, and then that turned into some of my favorite songs on the album\,” he says. “We actually wrote ‘Dearly Departed’ on Halloween as a tongue-in-cheek\, haunted house sex joke\, and then we played it that night and people went bonkers. Esme and I write so similarly it kinda freaked us out\, and I really learned the power of writing music with someone you get along with.”\n\nSoon enough\, Rose-Garcia found that the experience of making the record was being mirrored in the songs themselves. “I was letting go of that one-man everything\,” he says. “I did need people’s help\, and my control freak nature had to subside a bit. It meant learning collaboration\, but also knowing when to stick to my guns—all of that was the experience of this year\, and the songs were some of the more genuine experiences\; some of them even became sort of prophetic.”\n\n“Only Son\,” a meditation on solitude (“I used to be an only son/My heart was like a stranger”)\, became the opening track and “thesis statement” for And the War Came. “Hard Wired” is not\, as it may first appear\, about a relationship falling apart\, but “about having friends with problems—watching a friend struggling and not doing anything about it.”\n\nThe themes of these ten songs\, explains Rose-Garcia\, return over and over to the idea of the “other.” “It’s not about any single person\, it’s about being that second\, other person. Even the title—I never thought about whether I was able to handle that aspect of things\, of having these relationships. And the War Came is a little bit of\, be careful what you wish for.”\n\nSongs like “The Perfect Parts” and “Family and Genus\,” meanwhile\, represent a very different sound for Shakey Graves. “Those have a lot more aggression\, they’re heavy and big\,” he says. “I’m a little worried because it is a new step out\, and people have gotten really precious about the stuff I’ve done—which is a huge compliment\, and a dream come true—but I’m interested in what a Shakey Graves song is to people.”\n\nAnother crucial influence on the direction of And the War Came has been Rose-Garcia’s lengthy and far-flung touring schedule (which has recently included stops at the Winnipeg and Newport Folk Festivals\, prior to a headlining run this fall). “I’m constantly flying places and moving at a fast rate\,” he says. “Imagining what it was like a year ago is almost incomprehensible to me now. I feel like I’ve almost seen too much this year—bands\, music\, places. And if that doesn’t affect you in certain ways\, then you’re doing it wrong.”\n\nWhile his remarkable success story continues to unfold\, Alejandro Rose-Garcia sees And the War Came as a pivotal step in the evolution of Shakey Graves. “This is a doorframe album\, as we’re going into a new building\,” he says. “It’s taste of everything—what might come in future\, which might include just guitar or the one-man band thing\, but not pigeonholed to any one sound. I wanted to open some stuff up and get people ready for wherever it’s going.”

SUMMARY:Performance:Seth Walker
DESCRIPTION:If you're looking for roots music with the grit of Delbert McClinton (who's a big fan) and the detail and insight of Robert Cray\, give Seth Walker a try! This North Carolina-born bluesman has been honing his craft for more than a decade\, and his 2014 release\, \"Time Can Change\,\" marked a move toward a grittier sound. The son of classical musicians\, Seth grew up on a commune. He played the cello and switched to the guitar\, then to the blues\, after a DJ uncle introduced him to the likes of T-Bone Walker and Snooks Eaglin. The All Music Guide's J. Poet wrote that Seth \"uses the blues as a backbone for tunes that will equally please roots\, Americana\, folk\, pop\, and blues fans. He's a fine guitarist\, but his playing never calls attention to itself\; it's always placed in service of the song and the lyrics crackle with insight and subtle wit.\" Perhaps Country Standard Time said it best: “If you subscribe to the Big Tent theory of Americana\, then Seth Walker —with his blend of blues\, gospel\, pop\, R&B\, rock\, and a dash country—just might be your poster boy.\" Seth was the MC for both nights of the 2014 Ann Arbor Folk Festival. He comes to Michigan with a new release\, \"Sky Still Blue.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Feufollet
DESCRIPTION:In Louisiana Cajun folklore\, \"feufollet\" is the word for the will-o-the-wisp\, the mysterious light that can be seen hovering near the ground\, usually in dark swamplands or marshes. The feufollet\, or “dancing fire\,” guides travelers to safety in many folktales\, or at least back to the road through the wilderness. For the members of La Bande Feufollet\, who have been performing Louisiana music since they were kids\, Cajun songs are not unlike these alluring lights\, enchanting their audiences. Cajun music for this young sextet is a way to have fun and play and sing\, but also a way to understand and fathom the roots of their culture and heritage. Feufollet has been featured several times on NPR's \"American Routes\,\" and Elvis Costello called their release \"En Couleurs\" \"the most beautifully melodic album I’ve heard all year.” They come to town with a much-awaited new release\, \"Two Universes.\"

Some people take up a life of playing music with fame and fortune in mind\, but from the get-go Robert Earl Keen just wanted to write and sing his own songs\, and to keep writing and singing them for as long as possible. \"I thought of it in terms of having a really\, really good career and writing some good songs\,\" he says\, \"and getting on stage and having a really good time.\" What other Texas songwriter sells his own brand of Bloody Mary mix? Robert Earl Keen comes to Michigan with a new bluegrass album\, \"Happy Prisoner.\"

Such a calling requires a humility and self-awareness that seldom find an artist until late in his career\, when he’s turned the corner from idealistic to philosophical. Often young singer-songwriters aspire to draw a picture with words\, a melodic expression of the visual\, hoping to capture a single meaningful moment in time. Luke aspires to capture our journey through it—and his sophomore album\, “The River\,\" speaks to a brilliant departure on that journey.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Verve Pipe Kids' Show
DESCRIPTION:With sales of three million albums worldwide and a reputation for spectacular live performances\, the Verve Pipe was one of Michigan rock and roll's great success stories of the 1990s. Formed in East Lansing\, the band gained a following for its textured rock songs distinguished by inventive arrangements\, soul-searching lyrics and layered vocals. After being approached to submit a song for a compilation album called \"Calling All Kids\,\" the band found that the creative sessions yielded far more than just the one track. This led to an idea of a complete album of family-friendly songs\, and \"A Family Album\,\" was born. Nominated for its annual best kids' CD award by Nickelodeon's Parents Connect\, it's an energetic collection of guitar-based tunes on such topics as breakfast cereal and getting up in the morning. The Verve Pipe is back\, and they're ready to reach a new generation!

SUMMARY:Performance:Liz Longley
DESCRIPTION:For painters\, the joy and challenge of creation begins with a blank canvas. For Liz Longley\, it started in an empty room. “I was living in Boston and my roommate had just moved out\, so I paced the hardwood floors of her room with my guitar\,” Longley recalls. “I walked back and forth until the songs were done. It was as though they were stuck in the apartment walls.”\n\nLongley has a gift for culling musical treasures as though straight from thin air. And now\, the Berklee College of Music graduate and award-winning songwriter is set to share them with listeners on her self-titled album—her first after signing with Sugar Hill Records in December 2014. The collection of 11 songs was recorded in Nashville with an all-pro band—and in a pulse-quickening fashion so rare in today’s world of overproduced\, airbrushed records. “I love being in the studio and feeding off the energy of other musicians. It’s not something I get to do often on the road because I’ve mostly toured solo.” While Longley’s songs and vocals invite complimentary comparisons to Shawn Colvin\, Paula Cole and Nanci Griffith—all artists she’s supported live—her latest effort spotlights a style and confidence that’s all her own. You can hear it in the subtle-yet-soaring vocals on “Memphis\,” the dagger directness of “Skin and Bones\,” the bittersweet farewell that drives “This Is Not the End” (featured in the 2012 season finale of Lifetime's Army Wives). They’re all cuts that dare you to hold back the goosebumps.\n\nIn fact\, Longley’s singing never fails to thrill and enthrall. Her voice and tone\, touched with the slightest of country inflections\, pours out like clean\, crystalline water. Still\, she can roar like a waterfall or flow effortlessly along the bed her backing band lays down\, as on “Peace of Mind.” The track showcases Longley yearning after silence and stillness to beat back demons of self-doubt.\nThe new songs grew amidst a period of transition and travel in her life\; moving between Boston and New York before finally settling in Nashville\, and spending much of her life on the road in a succession of minivans. To that end\, the songs have been road tested at Longley’s live shows\, their power to connect with fans beyond question.\n\nThese numbers pack the punch of pages torn from Longley’s journal. And fans have rewarded her transparency with tangible loyalty. For while many acts have no clue how an album will be received\, Longley started her project knowing just how much her fans wanted her to succeed. It’s like this: Her Kickstarter campaign\, which set $35\,000 as an album-funding goal\, exceeded that amount by nearly 60 percent\, raising $55\,000. “We reached the mark so quickly and I’m just really\, really lucky to be connected to my fans\,” she says. “I feel like they’ve adopted me—like I have this big supportive family.”\n\nAnd to that end\, Longley confides with you as though you’re sitting on the sofa with her in a talk that’s intimate and vulnerable. “Bad Habit” strides the valley road of heartbreak\, its pounding toms and plaintive electric guitar providing an ideal frame for Longley’s vocal\, the very portrait of love’s rock bottom: “I couldn’t stand the smell of smoke ’til he lit that cigarette/ Never felt the temptation ’til I smelled it on his breath.”\n\n“I wrote it after dating a guy who had a lot of bad habits\, and somehow he became my bad habit\,” Longley recalls. “He was just one of those people—a smoker and a drinker who also had a habit of cheating. When I broke up with him and wrote the song\, it was hugely therapeutic for me. It cleansed him from my system. And when I started playing it live\, I realized that so many others had toxic people in their lives.”\n\nWhy write and sing songs so transparent and confessional? For Longley\, it boils down to the simple truth of authenticity. “I just try to be myself\,” she says. “If I feel like a song is not genuine to me\, I absolutely do not present it because people see right through it. It’s all about the honesty\, and I try not to overthink it—then it would lose some of the magic.”\nLongley first felt the magic while growing up outside of Philadelphia. A song she wrote in ninth grade—her first ever—earned a standing ovation when she performed it for the student body: “I was unprepared for that sort of reaction and it was life-changing moment\,” she says. “That’s when I knew it was what I wanted to do with my life.”\nThe track record she’s assembled since shows just how much Longley grew into her dream. She’s taken home top prizes at some of the most prestigious songwriting competitions in the country\, including the BMI John Lennon Songwriting Scholarship Competition\, the International Acoustic Music Awards and the Rocky Mountain Folk Fest Songwriting Competition. But it all traces straight back to Longley’s first song. She says she’ll continue to open her soul in the service of her art because that’s what matters most to her. “Every time I get into these songs they resonate with me\, lock with me\, because they’re based on something I went through\,” she says of the new collection. “I hope they connect with people and that they’ll help with whatever they’ve gone through. That’s what music does for me\, and I hope I can do that for someone else.”\nAfter all\, what better way to fill an empty room than with fully realized music?\n\nTexas-born songwriter Brian Wright opens.

The Legislature of the State of Michigan officially named Neil Woodward Michigan’s Troubadour in recognition of his lifelong commitment to preservation of Great Lakes folk music and culture.  What does it mean for you? A one-of-a-kind performance that pays tribute to light keepers\, immigrants\, laborers\, sailors\, soldiers\, teachers\, mothers\, fathers\, lumberjacks\, railroaders\, farmers\, hobos\, auto workers\, dancers\, singers\, musicians and dogs.

SUMMARY:Performance:Gangstagrass
DESCRIPTION:Gangstagrass goes back to the future with Rappalachia\, or\, you might say\, Jay-Z meets Ralph Stanley. Blending bluegrass and hip-hop seems like an unlikely recipe for success\, but don’t tell that to Rench\, the mastermind behind the highly successful rap ’n’ grass project Gangstagrass. When he was going to grade school\, recess was a time of breakdancing on cardboard to RUN-DMC. But at home\, the records on the stereo were Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash and the more you think about moonshiner songs and the like\, the more sense this makes. That musical mash up made a lasting impression and sent Rench on a cross-country journey to play country-flavored hip-hop in dive bars. You might have heard Gangstagrass's \"Long Hard Times to Come\" as the theme of the FX series \"Justified\"—now hear them in person! Gangstagrass comes to Michigan with a new release\, \"Broken Hearts and Stolen Money.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Hot Club of Cowtown
DESCRIPTION:The Austin-based Hot Club of Cowtown explores the space where early jazz met Texas swing\, where Joe Venuti and Eddie Lang met Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys. Guitarist Whit Smith and fiddler Elana James have become a world-class country-jazz duo\, challenging each other and reading each other's minds at every turn. Add in the insouciant lyrics of the era and the vigorous slap-bass rhythms of Jake Erwin\, and you've got virtuoso small-group western swing that's beyond infectious. If you've seen the Hot Club before\, be advised that they're only getting better—they went on hiatus\, got back together\, and came out of it stronger. By now they're one of the great improvising bands in any genre. Their latest album\, \"Rendezvous in Rhythm\,\" is their first ever dedicated exclusively to the Gypsy jazz and French swing of Paris in the 1930s\, featuring the band’s sparkling spins on standards in the style of legendary hot jazz titans Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli.

SUMMARY:Performance:Captain Ivory
DESCRIPTION:Your family’s record collection just hitched a ride a generation forward\, met a few genres along the way\, and started a rock band called Captain Ivory. It’s dirty\, in-your-face\, hands-inside-the-vehicle-at-all times rock 'n’ roll. This quintet came to Nashville by way of Ypsilanti and then Detroit\, where they kept their ears to the pavement to blend sounds both new and old\, sounds of legends who’ve walked before\, with a twist of new that is sure to get your feet tapping and hands clapping. Think Jack White with a bit of Radiohead\, Derek Trucks\, and more! This band has a following in Europe\, where MuzikaleVibe in the Netherlands writes: “Occasionally we come across unknown\, but ridiculously good music to which we are very excited about\; such is the case when we found Captain Ivory.”

SUMMARY:Performance:Steve Poltz
DESCRIPTION:Born in Halifax and raised in Palm Springs\, California\, songwriter and Ann Arbor Folk Festival Friday MC Steve Poltz launched Jewel's career when he invited her up to sing on stage at a San Diego coffeehouse. Steve himself has recorded for Mercury and for his own 98 Pounder label\, the name referring to his high-school wrestling weight. Over the course of his life he’s met Elvis Presley (who hugged his sister for far too long)\, trick-or-treated at Liberace’s house (each finger had a diamond ring)\, was Bob Hope’s favorite altar boy (according to him)\, and bravely traveled the world busking before he knew how to do it. His eclectic songbag is an unpredictable mixture of comic and serious\, sometimes within the same song\, and his stage presence is a wonderfully unpredictable freeform mix of elements. X frontman John Doe once said\, \"My idea of hell would be having Steve Poltz open for me every day. There's no place left for the audience to go.\" Steve Poltz was our Friday-night MC for the 2015 Ann Arbor Folk Festival.

DESCRIPTION:Born in Flint and by now a Michigan institution\, Mr. B (Mark Braun) is a rare living link to the early days of boogie woogie\, having learned directly from legends like Little Brother Montgomery and Blind John Davis. Each spring he brings in blues and jazz singers and players that you may not have heard before for a mini musicians' summit\, right here at The Ark! This year's guests are Bob Seeley\, Rick Roe\, and Silvan Zingg! Silvan comes to the show direct from Switzerland\, but he's a master of this American style. Take it from Chuck Berry\, who says\, \"Silvan plays as if he were from St. Louis—he could be my blues brother!” Bob Seeley\, longtime house pianist at Charley's Crab restaurant in Troy\, Michigan\, and a profound influence on boogie piano players far and wide is a Michigan treasure and a frequent Mr. B partner-in-piano crime. Pianist Rick Roe is well-known to audiences in southeast Michigan and beyond—he's a first-place winner in the Great American Jazz Piano Competition\, and twice a semifinalist in the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Piano Competition.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Dustbowl Revival
DESCRIPTION:The Dustbowl Revival is a Venice\, California-based collective that merges old school bluegrass\, gospel\, jug-band\, swamp blues\, and the hot swing of the 1930’s to form a spicy roots cocktail. Known for their inspired live sets\, The Dustbowl Revival boldly brings together many styles of traditional American music. Imagine Old Crow Medicine Show meeting Louis Armstrong’s Hot Seven Band in New Orleans or Bob Dylan and Fats Waller jamming with Mumford & Sons on a front porch in 1938. Growing steadily from a small string band playing up and down the West Coast (hundreds shows in the last two years)\, DBR has blossomed into a traveling collective featuring instrumentation that often includes fiddle\, mandolin\, trombone\, clarinet\, trumpet\, banjo\, accordion\, tuba\, pedal steel\, drums\, guitars\, a bass made from a canoe oar\, harmonica\, and plenty of washboard and kazoo for good luck. You may have heard The Dustbowl Revival on the Saturday-night bill at the 2015 Ann Arbor Folk Festival.

SUMMARY:Performance:Madeleine Peyroux
DESCRIPTION:Madeleine Peyroux was born in Athens\, Georgia and grew up singing on the streets of Paris\, where she moved with her French teacher mother. Her voice sounds a bit like Billie Holiday's\, but her style is her own. Peyroux's 1996 debut album\, \"Dreamland\,\" was released on the Atlantic label and drew raves\; Time called it \"the most exciting\, involving vocal performance by a new singer this year.\" Over half a dozen albums\, Peyroux has never given up her classic influences but has moved steadily in the direction of personal songwriting and a distinctive artistic voice. \"I have been building on the relationships I developed in co-writing\, and something new has taken hold of me\,\" Peyroux says. Her latest album\, \"The Blue Room\,\" started out as an homage to the Ray Charles \"Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music\" album and evolved into a deeper meditation on the relationships among jazz\, pop\, and country music.

DESCRIPTION:Alan Doyle\, actor\, producer\, newly minted best-selling author\, and best known as lead singer for Newfoundland’s beloved Great Big Sea these past 20+ years\, is set to release his second solo album\, \"So Let’s Go\,\" on January 20. The title track and lead single\, \"So Let’s Go\,\" is a rousing rallying cry that’s only further proof of Doyle’s ability to draw the listener under his banner. Made in collaboration with Thomas \"Tawgs\" Salter (Lights\, Walk Off The Earth)\, Jerrod Bettis (Adele\, Serena Ryder)\, Gordie Sampson (Keith Urban\, Willie Nelson)\, and Joe Zook (OneRepublic\, Katy Perry)\, the album follows Doyle’s first solo outing\, \"Boy On Bridge\,\" released in 2012. “If there’s an overarching theme on this record\, it’s one of optimism … not that this is in contrast to my previous doom-laden songs!” laughs Doyle\, who says this album is freer than \"Boy On Bridge\" in the respect to being open to all influences. “On my last solo record I wanted to explore musical backyards of friends of mine in different parts of the musical world. It was as much a physical as a musical journey away from home. On 'So Let’s Go\,' folks will hear much more stuff from my backyard and all the traditional and Celtic influences I grew up with\, married with the most contemporary collaborators out there.”

(Everything from Bach to Kanye to Pantera ...)\n\n3: To build bridges across all musical communities by bringing a diverse assortment of musical collaborators on stage with them. (Everyone from the Dandy Warhols to Peter Yarrow to Ben Sollee to Mirah to Garrison Keillor ...)\n\nSays MTV: \"It doesn't get much more genre-crossing than this.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Mary Chapin Carpenter
DESCRIPTION:Five-time Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter and 2012 Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee Mary Chapin Carpenter will embark on a unique series of intimate\, acoustic performances this spring. The tour marks Carpenter’s return to singing both timeless hits and deep cuts from her expansive and beloved 13-album catalog after performing with orchestras in early 2014. Carpenter will be joined on stage by longtime friends Jon Carroll (piano) and John Doyle (guitars\, bouzouki). Carpenter has spent the past year performing alongside world-renowned orchestras since the release of her debut orchestral album\, \"Songs From the Movie\" (Zoë /Rounder)\, which was conducted and arranged by six-time Grammy Award winner Vince Mendoza. Carpenter’s world debut orchestral concert took place on January 24 at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall alongside the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra. In March\, she performed two milestone concerts at New York’s Lincoln Center with the New York Philharmonic\, conducted by Mr. Mendoza\, and was joined by special guests Joan Baez\, Shawn Colvin\, Jerry Douglas\, Tift Merritt and Aoife O’Donovan. Over the course of her career\, Carpenter has sold over 13 million records. With hits like “Passionate Kisses” and “He Thinks He’ll Keep Her\,” she has won five Grammy Awards (with 15 nominations)\, two CMA awards and two Academy of Country Music awards for her vocals. Her songs speak to the most personal of life’s details and the most universal.

SUMMARY:Performance:Hot Buttered Rum
DESCRIPTION:At the center of Hot Buttered Rum is the enduring camaraderie of five best friends. The band was conceived on a backpacking trip of high school and college buddies in the High Sierra. What was dreamed up on mountaintops and around campfires has found its way into the hearts\, minds\, Hot Buttered Rum lives for songs. Songs to sing in the shower. Songs to crank through your earbuds at the Secretary of State. Songs to name your babies after\, and then make more babies to. The band’s three songwriters—Nat Keefe\, Erik Yates and Aaron Redner—spin tales about the good times\, the bad times\, and the roads in between\, and belt them from the heart in three-part harmony. Bryan Horne’s athletic standup bass and Lucas Carlton’s tasteful percussion combine with the acoustic instruments to create what is California’s own acoustic music. Says the San Francisco Chronicle: \"“Few things rejuvenate the soul like a warm fireside drink after an exhausting day in the snow. Hot Buttered Rum has that effect. Their original songs are instantly familiar and inviting\, and their easygoing versions of timeless classics (the Beatles\, Hank Williams) belie the intricacy of the arrangements.”

SUMMARY:Performance:Eilen Jewell
DESCRIPTION:Boise-born and Boston-based Eilen (rhymes with feelin') Jewell calls herself \"nothing but a lonely rambler girl.\" The Los Angeles Daily News describes Eilen this way: \"Sometimes as darkly damaged as Lucinda Williams\, at others as defiant and teasing as prime Peggy Lee and always authentically Americana in the Gillian Welch tradition ... She's mighty good.\" Here's a young artist who connects with the roots of country\, blues and rock without losing herself or descending into mannerism. After giving birth to a daughter\, Mavis (named for Mavis Staples)\, in 2014\, Eilen returns to Michigan with music for a new studio album\, her first since 2011's \"Queen of the Minor Key.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Marc Cohn
DESCRIPTION:When Cleveland native Marc Cohn released a luminous piece of pure pop songcraft called \"Walking in Memphis\" in 1991\, he earned a Best New Artist Grammy and a permanent place in American musical consciousness. Under the stress of national and world events and a 2005 incident in Denver in which he was shot in the head by a carjacker\, \"it was like my songwriting receiver got flipped into the on position\,\" Marc says. Always an introspective lyricist who makes every word count\, Marc has released several impressive albums over the past decade. He has a resonant\, supple baritone singer who makes you feel you've always known his voice. On his latest album\, \"Listening Room\, 1970\,\" Marc pays tribute to some of the pop music that inspired him. Marc Cohn is a local favorite whose music offers an extraordinary experience in a room the size of The Ark—his shows have been consistent sellouts\, so don't delay on getting tickets!

SUMMARY:Performance:Whitehorse w/sg Lindy Vopnfjord
DESCRIPTION:Six Shooter Records’ Melissa McClelland and Luke Doucet tied the musical knot with their band project Whitehorse\, marrying their talent and chemistry on stage as a smoldering duo. They're married in real life\, too\, having announced their intentions on the CBC television program \"Sounds Like Canada.\" Gutsy and resolute in their pursuits of sound and substance\, Luke and Melissa’s fusion of the personal and professional brings to mind the road-tested romance of Johnny and June. Individually\, Luke and Melissa have been recognized with awards and nominations from the Juno Awards\, the Canadian Folk Music Awards\, the Hamilton Music Awards\, the Independent Music Awards and the Polaris Prize. Both have been individually compared with Tom Waits\, and both have that unique Canadian take on American roots that shows audiences south of the border something of ourselves. They come to Michigan with a new release\, \"Leave No Bridge Unburned.\" Icelandic songwriter Lindy Vopnfjörð opens.

SUMMARY:Performance:David Lindley
DESCRIPTION:Multi-instrumentalist David Lindley performs music that redefines the word \"eclectic.\" Well known for his many years as the featured player in the band of Jackson Browne\, as a collaborator with the similarly inclined Ry Cooder\, and as leader of his own band El Rayo-X\, he performs a unique brand of electro-acoustic roots rock woven together with sounds from blues\, bluegrass\, folk\, African\, Arabic\, Asian\, Celtic\, Malagasy\, and Turkish musical sources. The incredible array of stringed instruments he brings on stage is something to see in itself\, and when you add in eye-popping clothing\, uncanny vocal mimicry\, and a somewhat demented sense of humor\, you are ready for the one-of-a-kind Mr. Dave experience. David's interpretations of the music of the late Warren Zevon\, his friend\, rise to the level of profundity.

SUMMARY:Performance:Tom Russell
DESCRIPTION:Tom Russell came originally from Los Angeles and now lives in El Paso. He sketched both cities through the dual lenses of Orson Welles's movie camera and a dying relationship in the masterpiece \"Touch of Evil.\" Russell\, says Ark volunteer George Allen\, \"can tell a story about anything.\" He's written vivid historical songs\, ambitious portraits of love gone wrong\, big Nashville hits\, slices of barroom gloom\, anthems of social commentary\, profound religious statements (\"Blue Wing\")\, a career-making song about an epic cockfight … you name it! Tom recently released his 20th album\, \"Aztec Jazz\,\" with his songs reinterpreted by Norwegian wind musicians—he has a stronger following in Europe than almost any other American songwriter. Says the San Francisco Chronicle: \"Tom Russell is the last wandering Beat…a prolific and venerable artist writing the best songs of his career.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:eddie from ohio
DESCRIPTION:Eddie from Ohio\, actually a quartet from Virginia\, offers lyrically driven and often humorous original music\, sung in four-part harmonies over a background of acoustic strings and hand and stick percussion. Their vocal blend\, rhythmic vigor\, and prolific original material combine to make music unlike anything else on the market—sort of like Peter\, Paul & Mary on high-octane French roast\, they say. \"The manic strumminess recalls Ani DiFranco or Dave Matthews\,\" says Performing Songwriter\, \"but there's also a deep undercurrent of high\, lonesome mountain harmony that should appeal to fans of Alison Krauss and Union Station.\" The Edheads will be out in force for this show (get tickets early)\, because Eddie from Ohio isn't on the road as often as they used to be. You may have heard EFO guitarist Robbie Schaefer hosting his own show evenings on the XM radio Kids Place Live satellite channel. Whenever and wherever the four convene on stage\, an Eddie from Ohio show is an experience to remember.

Mandolin Orange's original songs are drenched in a mastery of classic country\, blues\, and rock\, but they are both personal and contemporary. It takes genius to be simple\, and this young duo has that kind of genius. They come to Michigan with a new release\, \"Such Jubilee.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Mary Fahl
DESCRIPTION:Sounding like no other singer of her generation” (Allmusic.com)\, Mary Fahl is an expressive\, emotional singer/songwriter who first achieved fame as lead singer and co-founder of the mid-1990s NYC-based chamber-pop group October Projet. The hallmark of their sound was Mary Fahl's awe-inspiring power vocals over gorgeous melodies played with passion and sophistication. Since the band disbanded\, Mary has released several compelling albums\, including the fantastic reworking of Pink Floyd's \"Dark Side of the Moon\" for V2 Records. She has also written and performed songs for several major motion pictures\, including the lead song (“Going Home”) for the Civil War epic \"Gods and Generals.\" Mary's elegant\, cinematic songs draw on classical and world music sources\, American art song\, as well as thinking man’s folk-pop she performs with an earthy\, viscerally powerful contralto that Boston Globe critic Steve Morse calls “a voice for the gods that can transport listeners to other realms”. Along with her music director\, virtuoso instrumentalist Mark Doyle on electric guitar and piano\, and members of Syracuse-based Grupo Pagan\, her performance will include “Exiles”\, a song written for Anne Rice’s new audiobook “The Wolves of Midwinter\,” a stunning cover of the Joni Mitchell classic “Both Sides Now\,\" and many October Project favorites.

SUMMARY:Performance:Ballroom Thieves
DESCRIPTION:With a slow\, deliberate build\, the Ballroom Thieves make their presence known onstage immediately as the first chord is struck\, transforming any size room\, whether it be a large ballroom or a small club\, into a remarkably intimate environment. Formed in 2011\, the Ballroom Thieves take the sincere\, narrative blueprint of folk music and infuse it with the attitude of rock\, the soul of blues\, and the sweat and fervor of a revival tent. That spirit makes its way into both their recorded music as well as their live performances\, as Martin Earley (guitar\, vocals)\, Devin Mauch (percussion\, vocals)\, and Calin Peters (cello\, vocals) attack their instruments and harmonies with the same energy onstage as in the studio. Garnering regional and national acclaim for both of their releases to date\, 2012’s \"The Devil And The Deep\" and 2013’s self-titled EP\, the Thieves have been branching out from their native Boston. Their energy\, passion\, and songwriting craft earning them national touring spots with established bands such as The Lone Bellow\, Dispatch\, Little Green Cars\, The Wheeler Brothers\, and Houndmouth\, among others.

SUMMARY:Performance:Edwin McCain
DESCRIPTION:Raised in Greenville\, South Carolina\, on a musical diet of everything from Earth\, Wind & Fire to David Wilcox\, rough-voiced but easy-on-the-ears singer-songwriter Edwin McCain recorded his first independent demo in 1991\, issuing his debut\, \"Solitude\,\" two years later. That album led to his 1995 major-label debut\, \"Honor Among Thieves\,\" which introduced America to the budding Southeastern bar favorite. Songs like \"Solitude\" and \"3 a.m.\" remain fan faves and live staples. Two years later\, he broke into the mainstream with the sweeping ballad \"I'll Be\,\" from the album \"Misguided Roses.\" Edwin McCain has toured with Hootie & the Blowfish\, and he has the mature outlook and easy mastery of a performer who's seen and done it all. “I’ve been lucky enough to experience a pretty broad range of stardom\, and the lack thereof\, throughout my journey as a musician\,” Edwin observes. “I’ve been on television shows and won awards\, but I’ve also lived in the back of a truck\, and I’ve even worked the Drive-Thru at Krispy Kreme singing wedding songs.” Come by and pick up a copy of Edwin's new release\, \"Live Versions.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Joe Ely w/sg Lucette
DESCRIPTION:Joe Ely was born between Route 66 and the Rock Island Line in Amarillo\, Texas\, and he saw Jerry Lee Lewis playing on a flatbed trailer in an Amarillo dust storm when he was six years old. Since then he's had a career than can fairly be called mythic. His songs about the geographic and romantic landscapes of the Lone Star State are pure poetry\, but there's no other Texas songwriter on whom rock has left a stronger mark. Joe was a member of the original Flatlanders\, a backup vocalist with the Clash\, a member of Los Super Seven\, one of many great American musicians who's a bit better appreciated in Europe than at home\, and a true pioneer of Americana and progressive Texas music. A recent recipient of the Americana Music Association Lifetime Achievement Award\, Joe is touring with music from an upcoming release\, \"Satisfied at Last.\" In the words of Texas music writer Joe Nick Patoski\, Joe Ely was born \"to roam the earth and preach the gospel of the Roadhouse\, extolling the virtues of the nowhere-else-but-Texas pressure cooker enviornment where hard-core country and the rawest kind of rock and roll collide on the dancefloor every Saturday night.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:An Evening with Raul Malo
DESCRIPTION:For reserved or VIP tickets\, please contact The Ark at 734-763-1800.\n\nWhen Raul Malo came on the scene as the lead singer of The Mavericks\, he already had a sound that didn't fit the usual categories\, and a luxuriant voice that brought to mind Roy Orbison. The Mavericks were a country band\, but there was always more to the Mavericks than country: a Latin tinge\, seriously ambitious songwriting\, and a big dose of pure pop passion. For Raul Malo\, The Mavericks were just a beginning of an American musical journey. He has sung in English and Spanish\, and he's at home with rock\, country\, Cuban music\, and the big-band jazz that fits his romantic vocals so beautifully. He's sung Latin rock\, acoustic Americana\, and even children's music. And his voice has only improved with age. It's a stunning instrument that has the rare quality of being big and intimate at the same time. The Ark has been an ideal venue for Raul's solo shows\, which are more personal than the music he's made with The Mavericks\, and his Ark shows over the past decade have lingered in the memories of listeners and the club staff alike. We're honored to present Raul Malo for a special show among special shows to benefit The Ark in its 50th anniversary year.

SUMMARY:Performance:Annie & Rod Capps
DESCRIPTION:On a musical journey that began in 1982\, Annie and Rod Capps have earned sincere praise for their songwriting and musicianship\, with two albums topping the Folk-DJ charts\, multiple Detroit Music Award nominations\, and as 2-time Kerrville New Folk Finalists (2012 & 2010).  Defining their \"style\" is not easy. It never ceases to be a moving target as they work continually to evolve with surprising new influences and inspirations\, always striving for true musical and songwriting maturity. Nonetheless\, for more than 30 years they’ve been cultivating a symbiotic sound that reflects their deep and intuitive understanding of each other\, delivering songs about broken things and poignant little ponderings with a rootsy vibe\, a touch of twang and a soulful groove. Annie and Rod come to The Ark with a new release\, \"Searching for Neverland.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Judy Collins
DESCRIPTION:Judy Collins has thrilled audiences worldwide with her unique blend of folksong interpretations and contemporary themes. Her career has spanned well over 50 years. In 1961 Judy released her first album\, \"A Maid of Constant Sorrow.\" at the age of 22 and began a 35-year association with Elektra Records.

SUMMARY:Performance:Henry Butler
DESCRIPTION:Henry Butler\, says Richard Skelly of AllMusic.com\, is arguably the greatest living proponent of the classic New Orleans piano tradition\, playing an amalgam of boogie-woogie\, jazz\, blues and classical in the lineage of Professor Longhair\, James Booker\, Tuts Washington\, Allen Toussaint and countless other emperors of the ivories.\" Once you've heard what his hands can create on the keyboard\, there's no going back. Throw in a classically trained voice aching through the blues\, and you're someplace you have never been before and would give anything to return to again. Blinded by glaucoma at birth\, Henry has been performing since he was six and arranging and composing since he was 12. He's a ten-time winner of the Pinetop Perkins Best Blues Instrumentalist Award. Henry comes to Michigan with a new release\, \"Viper's Drag.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Tuck & Patti
DESCRIPTION:Oklahoma-born guitarist Tuck Andress built his superb jazz technique pretty much on his own and got what he calls a graduate degree in soul music during a stint with the Gap Band. When he met Bay Area vocalist and songwriter Patti Cathcart at a 1978 audition\, both knew within a few seconds that they had met their musical soulmates. Three years later they became marital soulmates too. Tuck & Patti released their first album on the crossover jazz label Windham Hill in 1988\, and their dozen recordings since then have built an international following. Their music is a wonderful example of unity in diversity\, with Patti's warm\, folk-flavored love songs complemented by Tuck's incredible guitar work. \"Patti writes and arranges\; I am just the orchestra\,\" Tuck says modestly. This duo\, whose music hovers in spaces between jazz\, R&B\, and folk\, draws you into their universe like few others.

SUMMARY:Performance:Kris Delmhorst
DESCRIPTION:Kris Delmhorst’s new release \"Blood Test\" describes a moment of reckoning and centering in the songwriter’s life\, and in society as a whole. \"Blood Test\" is this Ark favorite's first album of original material since 2008’s \"Shotgun Singer.\" The intervening years witnessed the birth of her daughter with husband and fellow songwriter Jeffrey Foucault\, and an accompanying shift in perspective. Th new album is \"not a record about becoming a parent by any stretch … only a few songs reference it even barely … but it’s an inescapable ingredient of where I’m writing from\,\" says Kris. \"Having a child affords a dramatically new view of yourself and your place—in your life\, your family\, with friends and surroundings.  I don’t know how that perspective doesn’t inform any creative person’s work once they have it.\" The songs Kris has delivered from this new vantage point speak of a deepened empathy\, a broader perspective on the continuum of lives\, and its quietest moments cut deep.

SUMMARY:Performance:Robbie Fulks & Redd Volkaert
DESCRIPTION:Tonight's show brings together on the same stage two musicians who carry the true country music spirit forward. Robbie Fulks makes alternative country with a tough\, uncompromising edge. He mixes country twang and rock crunch in songs that have a hard edge and a wicked sense of humor. While some might try to copy old-style country music\, Robbie Fulks not only knows it and loves it\, but also brings its spirit\, its humor\, and sometimes its one-of-a-kind strangeness to his own work. \"Fulks' heroes have been done wrong by women\, the law\, and life itself\, but they keep on going\,\" says the Cincinnati Post. The same might be said of Fulks himself\, who's been blazing his own path for more than 15 years now. He's joined by Redd Volkaert\, a veteran of Merle Haggard's backing band and an Austin institution you can often hear Saturday nights at the fabled Continental Club. A meeting of musical minds like this comes along seldom indeed\, and you shouldn't miss it!

SUMMARY:Performance:Shari Kane & Dave Steele
DESCRIPTION:Shari Kane and Dave Steele first met in the summer of 1991\, crossing paths as performing blues musicians: Shari was the partner of harmonica legend\, Madcat Ruth (Madcat & Kane)\, while Dave was leading the electric blues band Big Dave and the Ultrasonics. Friends\, neighbors\, fellow musicians and fans have asked over the years\, \"When are you two going to start playing together?\" The truth is\, they've been playing together since their first date. In many ways their playing has developed side by side\, listening to and learning from great acoustic blues guitarists from the past. As an acoustic blues duo\, Shari and Dave throw a four-handed guitar party of original and time-honored blues\, gospel\, swing and ragtime. Steeped in Dave’s smoky vocals\, percussive rhythm\, and innovative lead lines\, and Shari’s crisp picking style\, rootsy leads\, and stinging slidework\, their music has been described as “street swing and stomp blues”—like a testament to sounds once heard on the streets of Harlem\, the juke joints of Mississippi\, or from the jug bands of Memphis. To celebrate the release of their new album\, Shari and Dave will be joined tonight by boogie piano wizard Mr. B and the brilliant old-time duo Red Tail Ring.

DESCRIPTION:Says TwangNation.com: \" Baskery does their thing in Stockholm\, Sweden with such passion and fire that you could be forgiven for mistaking them for Tennesseans or Texans reared on equal parts Carter Family and Tanya Tucker.\" Sisters Greta\, Stella\, and Sunniva Bondesson have been sharing stages for ten years now\, and they've played major venues like Britain's Glastonbury Festival. Singing three-part harmonies while playing guitar\, six-stringed banjo\, and upright bass\, they create originals performed with a recklessness that convinces. Mojo called Baskery \"absurdly wonderful\,\" and if you imagine the Dixie Chicks throwing caution to the winds\, looking at American culture from the outside\, and having a great time doing it\, you'll be pretty close to what Baskery has accomplished.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Accidentals
DESCRIPTION:Multi-instrumentalists Katie Larson and Savannah Buist are creating quite a name for themselves among music lovers of all genres. ” Z93 FM DJ Matt Mansfield writes: “Combine musicality\, originality and melodic beauty with a welcome and unexpected bite to clever lyrics and youv’e got Accidentals music. Songwriters\, look no farther to find a new pairing to be jealous of\, especially with such a bright future ahead of them.\" They met in 2011 at their public high school.  Katie (15) was a freshman cello player\, and Savannah (16) was a violinist and orchestra concertmaster. They volunteered for a class assignment that threw them together for their first rehearsal and The Accidentals were born. Growing up in musical families with professional pianists for fathers and vocalists for mothers\, their influences bounced among classical\, jazz\, bluegrass\, country\, alt-rock\, and the obscure. They are “explorers and admirers” of indie music greats like Andrew Bird\, St. Vincent\, Sufjan Stephens\, Arcade Fire\, The Yeah\, Yeah\, Yeahs\, The Black Keys\, Sara Jaffe (and the Beatles).  Their original tunes reflect their exposure to a wide variety of instruments while staying true to their orchestral roots. In addition to playing guitar\, bass\, glockenspiel\, mandolin\, banjo\, piano\, organ\, accordian\, and kazoo\, you can’t miss the edgy violin and cello that define this duo. The Accidentals opened for some of their favorite artists\, Andrew Bird\, Sixto Rodriguez (Sugarman)\, Aunt Martha\, Rosco Bandana\, and  Lauren Mann.

SUMMARY:Performance:Jeff Austin Band featuring Danny Barnes\, Ross Martin & Eric Thorin
DESCRIPTION:Mandolinist Jeff Austin is unstoppable. He is celebrated for his fleet fingers and penchant for improvisation on stage\, but those qualities also speak volumes about how he chooses to live. Jeff has cultivated his natural musical abilities and allowed himself to be driven by his boldest instincts. In 1998\, while working at a bar called The Verve in Nederland\, Colorado\, he and a group of friends formed The Yonder Mountain String Band\, which created a wild\, high-energy niche between the bluegrass legends of old and the up-and-coming jam band scene. “My time with Yonder has taught me what is possible\,” Jeff says. “It has shown me that if you work hard at it and you believe in it and there’s a part of you that’s meant to do it\, it will happen. It’s clichéd\, but it’s true.” Now Jeff Austin moves into a new creative direction as a solo artist. On his forthcoming debut project\, Jeff’s songwriting remains rooted in Americana inspiration and the frantic energy of the jam genre but also\, reaches even further weaving in more mainstream themes\, reminiscent of his co-write contribution “Fiddlin’ Around\,” that was featured on the 2010 Grammy-nominated Dierks Bentley album\, \"Up on the Ridge.\"

DESCRIPTION:Known for making instant fans of the uninitiated with one of the most engaging and passionate live shows on the road today\, Red Wanting Blue found even bigger audiences after the release of its 2012 \"From The Vanishing Point\" album\, which landed in the Top 10 of Billboard’s Heatseekers chart and at #1 for the band’s home region. Appearances on The Late Show with David Letterman\, VH1’s Big Morning Buzz Live\, and NPR’s Mountain Stage followed\, and while the band continues to reach new and bigger career milestones\, Red Wanting Blue is also staying true to its roots. This is evident on the their new album\, \"Little America\,\" the band’s most personal and promising recording to date. \"Little America\" celebrates a community spirit Red Wanting Blue shares with its audience—a spirit goes beyond fans who simply give back the passion that comes off the stage. Red Wanting Blue’s hard work is matched by fans who work hard\, too. It’s not unexpected for members of this growing legion to take days off of work and cross state lines to follow the band\, to learn just-written tunes from wobbly YouTube videos\, and to sing every word at every concert. Get tickets early!

SUMMARY:Performance:BoDeans
DESCRIPTION:“I’ve always thought of the BoDeans as a truly American band\,” says Kurt Neumann\, the founder\, primary writer and frontman of the veteran Milwaukee-based group. “We were blue-collar kids straight out of the heartland—how could we be anything else? ‘Roots rock’ was a label I fought when I was younger\, but I came to realize that if by ‘roots’ you meant blues\, rock\, country and soul all slammed together into one sound\, then I’d say yes—that is the sound of American-made music.” The band fully embraces that notion on \"American Made\,\" their 11th album. Its dozen songs are laced through with strands of indigenous roots elements—Heartland hoedown folk (“American\,” with guest Jake Owen spinning out the guitar solo)\, Celtic-rooted mountain music (“Walk Through This World\,” “Flyaway”)\, zydeco (“Everything You Wanted”)\, Southern roadhouse soul (“Don’t Bring Me Down”)\, Chicago blues (“Shake the Fever”) and 100-proof roots rock (“All the World”). This is an American band that has stood the test of time. Come and check them out in a club setting where you can really hear what they're all about. The BoDeans come to Michigan with a new release\, \"I Can't Stop.\"

DESCRIPTION:Lucy Kaplansky and Richard Shindell have been singing together for 25 years. And they’ve talked about making a record together for just as long. In summer 2014 an extraordinarily successful Kickstarter campaign raised the initial goal of $40\,000 in 24 hours\, going on to ultimately reach over $85\,000\, to bring that desire to fruition under the band name “The Pine Hill Project.” “Tomorrow You’re Going\,” an Americana masterwork of great songs\, gorgeous harmonies\, and stunning production\, will be just out as this concert comes to Michigan. The album is at turns meditative\, joyful\, rollicking\, and deeply moving\, and a one-of-a kind-musical event. And to hear it in person\, from two artists who over the years have come to define what The Ark is all about\, is something you shouldn't miss.

SUMMARY:Performance:An Evening with Jeff Daniels
DESCRIPTION:A Benefit for The Ark! Maybe you know Jeff Daniels as one of the most versatile actors in Hollywood\, with roles ranging from Debra Winger's college-instructor husband in \"Terms of Endearment\" to Harry Dunne\, the \"Dumber\" (perhaps) of \"Dumb and Dumber.\" Or maybe you know him as the creator of the hilarious deer-hunting stage comedy\, \"Escanaba in da Moonlight\,\" or maybe as the man who put Chelsea\, Michigan\, on the national theater map with his gem of a venue\, The Purple Rose Theatre. The last several years have seen a new phase in the development of this man of multiple talents: he's been writing songs\, terrific tales of famous people and ordinary folk\, all with the special Jeff Daniels touch that has kept him in the headlines as one of America's most beloved entertainers for more than two decades now. Jeff Daniels has proven that he is not an actor who sings\, but a supremely accomplished singer/songwriter whose musical talent does not require the support of his acting. The Ark and The Ann Arbor Folk Festival have been closely involved in the rise of Jeff's second career\, and we're excited to welcome him back for this special Ark 50th anniversary benefit show.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Suffers
DESCRIPTION:The Suffers are a ten-piece band from Houston\, Texas\, who are redefining the sound of Gulf Coast soulby intertwining elements of classic American soul music with rock and roll. Both sonically and visually arresting\, the large ensemble packs each position of the rhythm section and horn section with a level of talent and taste that provides the perfect foundation for singer Kam Franklin's massive voice. The band's sincerity and emotion are laid bare in their music\, which has garnered an audience so broad and varied that\, they confidently assert\, they \"may prove to be the panacea for a jaded and stratified live music scene.\" The Suffers come to Michigan with their debut album\, \"Make Some Room.\" Says Entertainment Weekly: “With its buttery horn arrangements\, funky guitar licks\, and lead singer Kam Franklin’s bubbly vocals\, ‘Make Some Room’… sounds like it stepped straight out of the ’70s soul-pop movement that produced Honey Cone.”

SUMMARY:Performance:Bahamas
DESCRIPTION:Afie Jurvanen isn’t from the Bahamas. He’s a Finnish-Canadian from Barrie—a working class town in rural Ontario. But his chosen epithet is fitting. Since 2009 he’s been making music under the name Bahamas—writing songs about sunsets\, love affairs\, and making out with crooked smiles. Through simple arrangements\, he charts an escape route from the snow belt to the coral reefs. His new release\, \"Bahamas Is Afie\,\" self-titled and self-produced\, is the next step in the evolution of a remarkable artist who combines songcraft\, guitar mastery\, and melodic pop hooks in equal measure. Canada's Globe & Mail calls Bahamas \"a sublime\, incomparable leading man\, one with a soulful\, sweet and stylish touch in his songwriting\,\" and he was one of the breakthrough acts at the 2015 Ann Arbor Folk Festival. Toronto songwriter Hayden opens.

DESCRIPTION:In 2006\, humorist\, musician\, and syndicated columnist Mike Ball was awarded funds by the National Endowment for the Arts through the Michigan Humanities Council to develop an entirely new kind of music workshop for incarcerated and at-risk kids. This work\, which has come to be known as Lost Voices\, involves helping these troubled children explore their feelings by writing songs\, then perform their work on stage. The Concert for Lost Voices is an entertainment experience you will never forget. Five headline acts—Josh White\, Jr.\, Drew Nelson\, Kitty Donohoe\, Jen Cass\, and Mike Ball—will spend the evening on stage in a “round robin” format\, taking turns performing and teaming up in totally unpredictable and unique musical combinations. The show brings together a wide range of musical styles\, which combines with the artists’ warm regard for each other to produce a magical energy. These extraordinary talents toss a musical lifeline of hope to the young men and women in the programs. These workshops and concerts have proved to be transforming experiences for the participants\, their peers\, their parents\, and even the staff who deal with them every day. Lost Voices is a Michigan non-profit corporation\, founded to further these projects and to develop new ones like them.

SUMMARY:Performance:Martha Davis & The Motels
DESCRIPTION:A long time ago\, in a galaxy far\, far away—Berkeley\, California—The Motels were born. With the lush\, romantic vocals of Martha Davis\, they brought something new to a sometimes over-snarky New Wave scene\, and songs like \"Only the Lonely\" and \"Suddenly Last Summer\" were essential to the soundtrack of a youth in that era. Whether you were there when The Motels first burst onto the music scene\, or are just discovering them now\, 2014 became a year of rediscovery for this iconic group\, which saw more Motels shows than in any year since 1985. Martha began writing songs at the age of 15 and has always known that the songs she writes are her mark. The Motels last appeared in Ann Arbor in 1980\, so this is your long-delayed chance to see the artist Robert Hilburn of the Los Angeles Times calls \"arguably the most charismatic female performer in rock.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Hayes Carll
DESCRIPTION:Hayes Carll is an odd mix. Wildly literate\, impossibly romantic\, absolutely a slave to the music\, this modern-day Texan completely committed to the truth and unafraid to skewer pomposity\, hypocrisy and small-minded thinking. “Another Like You\,” Carll’s polar-opposites attraction duet\, was American Songwriter’s #1 Song of 2011. But more important than the critical acclaim is the way Hayes connects with music lovers across genre lines. Playing rock clubs and honkytonks\, Bonnaroo\, Stones Fest\, SXSW and NXNE\, he and his band the Gulf Coast Orchestra merge Ray Wylie Hubband’s lean freewheeling squalor with Todd Snider’s brazen Gen Y reality and a healthy dose of love among unhealthy people. “I guess you could say I write degenerate love songs\,” Hayes says. “That\, and songs about people who’re wedged between not much and even less\; people who see how hopeless it is and somehow make it work anyway. “And the best kind of irony\, sometimes\, is applying no irony and letting reality do the work.” Maybe it’s the influences—Kerouac\, Dylan\, Guy Clark\, John Prine\, Hubbard ... maybe it’s the fact that somebody has to say something ... maybe it’s just the fact that some people are born to play. But for whatever reason\, a decade into his recording career\, Hayes Carll shows no signs of having arrived at his creative apex. Hayes has been writing up a storm—his \"Chances Are\" for Lee Ann Womack was named one of NPR's Best Songs of 2014—so this show should bring some much-awaited new Hayes Carll material.

SUMMARY:Performance:Olivia Chaney
DESCRIPTION:Singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Olivia Chaney’s profile has been rising over the last few years\, particularly in her native England\, where she was recently nominated for BBC Radio 2’s Horizon Award for best emerging folk artist. She hasn't made a lot of recordings\, but those who've caught her on stage have found an entrancing sound and unique sensibility\, evolving and refining with each gig she played. Now she's out with her Nonesuch-label debut\, \"The Longest River.\" It's striking in its simplicity\, and it preserves the passion and immediacy of her live performances with a deceptively-structured informality. Olivia's work has deep and varied roots that have enabled her to carve out something new yet timeless\, bravely sparse\, yet intensely lyrical. Original compositions are balanced alongside a typically eclectic range of covers that she has arranged and made her own\, including the dramatic “Blessed Instant” by Norwegian voice-artist/composer Sidsel Endresen\, 17th-century English composer Henry Purcell’s “There’s Not A Swain\,” Chilean protest-singer Violeta Parra’s “La Jardinera\,” and “Waxwing” from Scottish alt-folk singer-songwriter Alasdair Roberts.

SUMMARY:Performance:Asleep at the Wheel
DESCRIPTION:In Texas they say Bob Wills is still the king. But Asleep at the Wheel is the official heir apparent\, a perennial Ark favorite well into a fourth decade of fabulous Western swing dance rhythms and artful country songwriting. More than 80 members have passed through Asleep at the Wheel since the band's beginnings\, but founder and frontman Ray Benson's vision of an ongoing and constantly growing tribute to the giants of Western swing\, with generous helpings of country and jump blues\, has stayed fresh. Asleep at the Wheel has won nine Grammy awards and counting\, and they deliver a high-energy show every time they come to The Ark. They arrive in Michigan with a new Bob Wills tribute album\, \"Still the King.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Kurt Elling
DESCRIPTION:Kurt Elling has been named Male Singer of the Year by the Jazz Journalists Association half a dozen times\, and he's a perennial winner of the Down Beat critics' poll. Every album he's made has been at least nominated for a Grammy. He's a former divinity student. He adds \"ranting\" to the traditional jazz vocal techniques of vocalese and scatting. Kurt Elling's rich baritone voice spans four octaves and displays an astonishing technical facility and emotional depth. He has an awesome command of rhythm\, texture\, phrasing\, and dynamics\, often sounding more like a virtuoso jazz musician than a mere singer. And if you're not a regular jazz clubgoer\, the Chicago Tribune says that “Kurt Elling is going to change many listeners’ minds on the meaning and purpose of Jazz singing.” Join us for one of the premier jazz events of the year in southeastern Michigan!

SUMMARY:Performance:Gedeon Luke & The People
DESCRIPTION:Gedeon Luke hails from Memphis\, and soul music flows through his veins in rainbow-colored hues. Weaned on the gospel-infused sounds of Sly Stone\, Curtis Mayfield\, and Al Green and inspired by the rock ‘n roll passion of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones\, Gedeon and his band The People are here to crash through the boundaries of music and society\, to bring Love\, Peace and Soul to the world. Fighting through childhood poverty\, rejecting the gang violence and drug abuse that surrounded him\, Gedeon looked to music\, family\, and faith as his beacons. Refusing to be hardened by the mean streets\, Gedeon brings pure joy and passion to his music and his life. His debut record\, “Live Free and Love” was cut old-school style\, throwing his band The People and special guests in a room and laying it down live. It follows no trend. It’s Love\, Peace\, and Soul. It’s Gedeon Luke.

SUMMARY:Performance:Justin Furstenfeld
DESCRIPTION:Blue October's Justin Furstenfeld is a captivating live performer\, a gifted and complex songwriter who has poured into his songs intimate details of his many personal battles. While he unabashedly wears his heart on his sleeve\, his tribulations have provided a unique link to fans who share similar personal challenges. Over the past year\, Justin has worked diligently to change the course of his life\, becoming substance-free and healthy. Now he has announced plans for a solo tour\, “An Open Book: An Evening With Justin Furstenfeld Of Blue October\,” to promote the release of the expanded third edition of his book of lyrics and writings\, “Crazy Making.” The show will consist of spoken word\, rounded off with a question-and-answer session\, and will also include an acoustic set of songs never before heard and intimate versions of favorites. The evening will focus on breaking down the walls of artist and audience and will provide fans the most access to Justin ever. “I always look forward to the spoken word/solo shows\,” says Justin. “The fact that I’m sitting just a few feet away from the audience\, that there are no rules as to what they ask me\, or that I don’t have boundaries on my answers\, is what is exciting to me. I’m hoping that the evening will give everyone a chance to dig deep\, connect\, and explore the dark corners of why honesty\, no matter how brutal\, remains one of the most beautiful aspects of being human. Through poetry\, music\, and conversation\, we heal. Why not do it together.”

SUMMARY:Performance:Amy Speace & Michael McDermott
DESCRIPTION:Songwriter Michael McDermott has a big name in his corner: novelist Stephen King calls him \"one of the best songwriters in the world and possibly the greatest undiscovered rock ‘n’ roll talent of the last 20 years.” The anthemic\, arena-filling “Scars From Another Life” (from his album \"Hit Me Back\") paints the a picture of how far Michael McDermott has come: “I was so down .. I had completely lost my way / When I hit Broadway I began to realize / That all they are are scars from another life.” His life since becoming a recording artist—full of myriad highest highs\, gutter-skimming lows\, and absolute rock bottoms of the past two decades—could read like a screenplay\, but with stories so ridiculously outlandish that they couldn’t possibly be true. All of it—the addiction\, the failed relationships\, the financial dramas\, the career hurdles—has left plenty of scars\, but Michael McDermott is moving on\, moving up\, and taking charge. He makes no excuses for his past—it has made him who he is today—but sings to everyone listening (and to himself): “Don’t run away\, they’re scars from another life.”\n\nA self-described late bloomer in songwriting\, Amy Speace landed in New York City after college to pursue a life in theater. In her early 20s she picked up a pawn-shop guitar\, wrote her first songs\, and found herself with steady gigs at such storied venues as The Bitter End and The Living Room. Judy Collins signed Amy to her own Wildflower Records label in 2006\, releasing \"Songs for Bright Street\" to critical acclaim. That record included a duet with The Jayhawks’ Gary Louris and spent months at the top of the Folk and Americana Roots charts. NPR noted that Speace's \"velvety\, achy voice recalls an early Lucinda Williams.” In 2010\, John Platt of NYC’s premiere AAA radio station WFUV named Amy’s song “The Weight of the World” #4 in his list of the “Best Folk Songs of the Decade\,” a song that Judy Collins herself would record and call “one of the best political folk songs I’ve ever heard.\" Since moving to Nashville\, Amy's writing has taken on a country flavor without losing any of its earlier layers. She comes to Michigan with \"That Kind of Girl\,\" a new album of country post-breakup songs.

Sultry and lanky\, with a punchy guitar style all her own\, Ana is also a font of extremely catchy original blues and blues-rock songs. Born in Belgrade in 1976\, Ana took the European blues world by storm before beginning to record in Memphis\, New Orleans\, and L.A. in the early 2000s. Ana has been a featured artist on NPR Music as well as a part of the all-star 2014 Experience Hendrix nationwide tour with Buddy Guy\, Bootsy Collins\, Brad Whitford (Aerosmith)\, Jonny Lang\, Kenny Wayne Shepherd & Zakk Wylde.

SUMMARY:Performance:Charlie Parr
DESCRIPTION:Many people play roots music\, but few modern musicians live those roots like Minnesota's Charlie Parr. Recording since the earliest days of the 21st century\, Charlie's heartfelt and plaintive original folk blues and traditional spirituals don't strive for authenticity—they are authentic. It's the music of a self-taught guitarist and banjo player who grew up without a TV but with his dad's recordings of America's musical founding fathers\, including Charley Patton and Lightnin' Hopkins\, Woody Guthrie and Leadbelly. With his long scraggly hair\, father-time beard\, thrift-store workingman's flannel and jeans\, and emphatic\, throaty voice\, Charlie Parr looks and sounds like he would have fit right into Harry Smith's \"Anthology of American Folk Music.\" Drawing inspiration from the alternately fertile and frozen soil of his native Minnesota\, Charlie uses three instruments\, not including his own stomping foot. He got an 1890 banjo the first time he heard Dock Boggs. \"I don't do claw hammer\, I don't do Scruggs-style\, it's just a version of me trying to play like Dock Boggs\, I guess\,\" Charlie says. He has two Nationals\, a 12-string and a Resonator\, which became an obsession when he saw a picture of Son House playing it. Charlie Parr comes to Michigan with his 12th studio release\, \"Stumpjumper.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Ashley MacIsaac
DESCRIPTION:\"Sex\, drugs and Celtic music. There was a time when those words just didn't go together. But that was before Ashley MacIsaac\,\" says the CBC. This unpredictable and wildly creative fiddler\, a close cousin to Natalie MacMaster and a more distant one to Jack White\, is at home anywhere from the rocky towns of his native Cape Breton Island to the Acropolis in Greece\, where he performed a new work by minimalist composer Philip Glass at the 2004 Olympic Games. He does hell-for-leather Celtic punk\, he does traditional tunes\, he does dreamy\, ambient music\, he's an outspoken activist—in short\, he's a fiddler for the 21st century. Except that he made one album that has no fiddle music at all. So join us to find out what's happening with the man who\, all by himself\, is the leading edge of Canadian Maritime music. Ashley now lives in Windsor\, where he's talked about running for political office. Let's give him an Ark welcome to the greater Detroit area!

SUMMARY:Performance:Pokey LaFarge
DESCRIPTION:Over the last decade\, Pokey LaFarge has won the hearts of music lovers across the globe with his creative mix of early jazz\, string ragtime\, country blues and western swing\, all while writing songs that ring true n both spirit and sound. His music transcends the confines of genre\, continually challenging the notion that tradition-bearers fail to push musical boundaries. Cleverly striding between numerous forms of traditional American music\, Pokey has crafted a genre all his own\, marked in its accessible ingenuity. Rather than merely conjuring up half-forgotten imagery of days past\, Pokey is a lyrical storyteller\, the plot delivered smoothly through his dynamic vocals. One moment he shouts a line and the next he croons above his archtop guitar\, backed by an often ornate\, acoustic instrumentation that allows for nothing less than masterful instrumental skill. Born in the heartland of America and based in St. Louis\, Missouri\, Pokey and his new six-piece band come to town with a new album\, \"Something in the Water.\"

DESCRIPTION:**The date of this show was previously listed as August 15th\, 2015. Please note that the correct date is Friday\, July 3rd\, 2015.\n\nOver the course of a music career that now spans close to a quarter century\, Ben Lee has quite literally grown up in front of our eyes—and our ears. And as with any lifelong journey\, Lee’s musical trek has been dotted with unforeseen twists and turns\, as well as explorations into unconventional and unexpected musical arenas. His latest statement\, \"Love Is The Great Rebellion\,\" is his tenth studio album overall. “It seems to me that love is always inviting us into the present moment\,” the 36-year-old native of Sydney\, Australia\, explains. “And one of the prerequisites of love\, whether it’s love in a marriage or for your child or for your craft\, is that it can exist only in the present. So the reality of stepping into that moment involves letting go of the past. In a way\, that’s a metaphor for my career.\" This singer-songwriter has been one of the most consistently creative musicians Down Under in recent years—catch this rare chance to see him in the Midwest!

SUMMARY:Performance:Parker Millsap
DESCRIPTION:At only 21 years of age\, Oklahoma native Parker Millsap is quickly making a name for himself with his captivating live performances\, soulful sound\, and character-driven narratives. Since the release of his self-titled debut album last year\, he has garnered a nomination for the Americana Music Association's 2014 Emerging Artist of the Year and has received praise from The Wall Street Journal\, USA Today\, American Songwriter\, The Boston Globe\, and NPR\, to name a few. Parker grew up in the tiny town of Purcell (pop. 5\,952)\, where he attended a Pentecostal church with his family three times a week for most of his youth. Though Parker doesn't consider himself very religious these days\, the experiences engraved upon him inform his songwriting. Blending that fire and brimstone preaching with rock\, country\, blues\, and Waits-ian imagery\, he has created a sound uniquely his own.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Leftover Cuties
DESCRIPTION:Who knows what year it is? Who cares when the songs are this sweet? To call Leftover Cuties retro or throwback would be too easy. Sure\, the music fits beside Billie Holiday\, but it’s also current in its sex appeal\, its sophistication\, its confidence. The Cuties’ music—with upright bass\, accordion\, brushed drums\, and yes\, ukulele—is not slavishly old-timey\, but honors its forebears in the right way\, with melody\, sharp playing\, stylish\, confident\, character-laden singing\, and strong\, honest original songs. When Leftover Cuties chanteuse Shirli McAllen steps to the microphone\, she commands your attention because she’s got something to say\, and a beguiling way of saying it. Their spellbinding first album\, “Places to Go\,” won raves from critics\, and their brilliant sophomore outing\, \"The Spark and the Fire\,\" is all about love: it makes the heart sing\, soar\, ache and burn … often in the same hook.

SUMMARY:Performance:Lenka
DESCRIPTION:\"My aim with music is to create mood enhancers for people\,” says Lenka\, whose fourth indie-pop album\, The Bright Side\, drops on June 16th. “That gives me the most joy\, when people say my music makes them feel better.” And the Australian singer-songwriter’s gift for sharing her bliss has served her well. Whether or not you realize it\, her buoyant\, wistful songs—most notably “The Show” (off her self-titled debut) and “Everything at Once” (from Two\, her follow-up)—have been soundtracking your life for almost seven years now. She’s lent a light mood to several commercials including spots from Windows 8\, Old Navy\, and Coke\, and charm to dramedies like \"Grey’s Anatomy\" and \"Ugly Betty\,\" and imbued films such as :Moneyball\" with graceful poignancy. In a music culture that leans heavily on branding\, Lenka has stood out for willfully being herself—occupying a spot between the upbeatness of Top 40 singles and the thoughtfulness of indie albums. “Music is a wonderfully direct way to enter people’s psyches\,” she explains. “Mine is about keeping a sense of wonder about the world.”

SUMMARY:Performance:Toad the Wet Sprocket
DESCRIPTION:VIP Tickets include: \n• Premium seat ticket\n• Pre-show photograph\n• Q & A session\n• Autographed VIP Laminate\n\nWhen Monty Python’s Eric Idle created the fictional band Toad the Wet Sprocket for the program “Rutland Weekend Television” in 1975\, he never dreamed that anyone would actually use such a silly name. Fast-forward to 1986\, when four California teens adopted the moniker as a joke for their first gig at a Goleta\, CA\, watering hole called The Shack. Against all odds\, the joke became permanent. “Toad the Wet Sprocket” has been touring with its exquisitely melodic folk-pop ever since with all four original members: lead singer Glen Phillips\, guitarist Todd Nichols\, bassist Dean Dinning\, and drummer Randy Guss. In the 1990s they sold over four million albums\, had five major radio hits\, and won over audiences across North America and Europe. After breaking up in 1998\, Toad got together sporadically to play shows on a casual basis\, but their hardcore fans never gave up hope for a new album\, and their patience has been rewarded. Toad the Wet Sprocket’s current album\, \"New Constellation\,\" was launched with an impressive #3-most-funded Kickstarter campaign in music for the year 2014. was the band's first new album in 16 years when released in 2014\, and features the singles \"New Constellation\,\" \"The Moment\" and \"California Wasted.\"

DESCRIPTION:If you haven't seen Junior Brown yet\, you need to \"guit with it\"! Junior Brown is a one-man musical hot fusion machine\, and he's coming to town with his guit-steel\, a unique hybrid contraption that's part electric guitar and part country steel guitar. People call him a cross between Jimi Hendrix and Ernest Tubb. But there's a lot more to say about Junior Brown. There's the fact that he's just about the best surf guitarist around\, for example. Or that he's a wonderful composer of traditional country songs\, the kind in which each outrageous pun leads you deeper into an emotional blind alley. Come check out the performer voted #1 House Rocker by the readers of Guitar Player! Junior's latest album\, \"Volume Ten\,\" features such Junior classics-to-be as \"Hang Up and Drive\" and \"Phantom of the Opry.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:David Cook
DESCRIPTION:Much has happened since David Cook won the seventh season of American Idol in 2008 and subsequently made chart history with a record-breaking 14 debuts on Billboard’s Digital Songs chart. These days the talented rocker with the fiery vocals and searing songwriting skills has entered an exciting new chapter marked by a newfound creative freedom and the maturity that comes with having a lot of life thrown at you. In the wake of Idol\, David endured an emotional rollercoaster marked by career highs mixed with the devastating personal tragedy of losing his beloved brother Adam to brain cancer. He toured relentlessly\, but when the dust settled\, he found himself craving a major change. He discovered what he was looking for in Nashville’s songwriting community and relocated to Music City in June 2012. “One of the things I love about songwriting here is that it’s more storytelling based and there’s a little bit more of an emphasis on the lyrics\,” says David\, who was born in Texas and raised in Missouri. “When you listen to a lot of popular music right now\, it almost seems like that’s becoming a lost art. I’ve always loved those songs that tell a great story and that’s something I’ve really tapped into here.\" The result has been some impressive new David Cook tunes teeming with a restless creative spirit yet anchored by an compelling emotional gravitas. Come check out this TV idol who has matured into a serious songwriter.

SUMMARY:Performance:Kasey Chambers
DESCRIPTION:Born in Mt Gambier in South Australia\, Kasey grew up in a home environment where listening to and performing country and roots music was a way of life. It had to rub off—and it did—just as in later years\, living on the Nullarbor Plain and travelling all over Australia with her family\, the young Kasey got an education like no other. She spent her childhood absorbing the music of Hank Williams\, Emmylou Harris\, Johnny Cash and other country greats loved by her parents. It was in the family’s revered Dead Ringer Band with dad Bill\, mum Di\, and older brother Nash that ten-year-old Kasey got her first real taste of being on stage. By the time she was in her late teens she was fronting the band and writing some of the songs. A change came in 1998 when Kasey\, at the age of 22\, travelled overseas on a rites-of-passage voyage of discovery. She came back ready to start her solo career. The resulting album\, \"The Captain\" (1999)\, remains one of the most extraordinary and lauded debuts by an Australian artist in any genre. Songs such as the title track\, \"Cry Like a Baby\,\" and \"These Pines\" boast a maturity beyond her years and a wealth of Americana-styled musical influences\, yet the album has Australia and family at its core\, ingredients that have been a staple of Kasey’s song-writing ever since then. Marriage and family have slowed Kasey down only slightly\, and she comes to Michigan with a new and highly ambitious album\, \"Bittersweet\,\" her first since 2010.

Bill was recently profiled by the Associated Press\, and both his calendar and the venues he plays have been growing more crowded lately. \"My music is kind of a Southern roots-based acoustic music\, but I feel like I am very hard to box into a category\,'' he says. \"There's more emotional content to my music than probably most people's.'' It's the truth! With songs both traditional and original\, and a sound that's at once as comfortable as old jeans and as fresh as a new blade of grass\, Bill Bynum & Co. is a band that’s easy to love and hard to quit.

They play original songs that combine vocals\, guitar\, percussion\, and classical-style cello from Colombian-born\, Ann Arbor-educated Andrea Moreno-Beals. Breathe Owl Breathe's songs have a kind of economy that makes them timeless-seeming yet disarmingly fresh. It's a totally new sound\, floating between post-rock and folk\, and it's been winning Breathe Owl Breathe well beyond Michigan. With roots in the northwest lower Michigan town of East Jordan\, Breathe Owl Breathe has an entrancing sound that's completely their own. \"At last\, some music in the folk tradition that is new and refreshing\, something an old music critic like me is always looking to find\,\" says Allmusic.com founder Michael Erlewine.

SUMMARY:Performance:Jerry Douglas
DESCRIPTION:The son of a Warren\, Ohio\, steelworker\, Jerry Douglas started out playing his instrument of choice\, the Dobro\, in local bars. Since then he has developed a unique idiom that seems wedded to that uniquely American instrument. His music is rooted in bluegrass\, but he has also deployed jazz\, the raw emotion and twang of country music\, the sober ragas of Indian music\, Native American modal melodies\, the rich structures of classical music\, the sunny harmonies of Hawaiian music\, note-packed Celtic tunes\, woebegone New Orleans funeral marches\, gospel\, and the blues. In a word (or three): just about everything! From his early bluegrass recordings\, through work with Allison Krauss that did much to define her sound\, to the dizzying virtuosity and variety of his new album \"Traveler\,\" there has been a consistent artistic development in Jerry Douglas's music\, and by now he's a modern American master. Of the genre-spanning \"Traveler\,\" Jerry says\, \"I found myself ready to step completely out of my comfort zone.\" Jerry appears solo at this show.

SUMMARY:Performance:Cold Tone Harvest
DESCRIPTION:Hailing from southeast Michigan\, and bonded together by the members' common interest in a musically historical and honest sound\, Cold Tone Harvest formed in late 2008. The band comprises singer/songwriter Andrew Sigworth\, bassist Ozzie Andrews\, and drummer/banjo player Brian Williams.

Their music has a very interesting way of making you ponder where you’ve been and where you’re going.

SUMMARY:Performance:Julianne Ankley
DESCRIPTION:With a sultry voice that captivates from the first note\, Michigan's Julianne Ankley has a sound described as country music that flew over the Motor City. Julianne is a dynamic singer-songwriter who started paving her own musical road with her first solo CD\, “It Ain’t Over.\" That brought her the first of what has become a long string of Detroit Music Awards and nominations in country and folk categories. Julianne has appeared at top Nashville venues including Hard Rock Cafe Stages during CMA Fest for the last few years and the Bluebird Cafe\, the Listening Room Cafe\, Fillin' Station\, Tootsies\, 3rd & Lindsley\, Ri'chard's Louisiana Cafe\, and more)\, as well as writing with some of Nashville's greats. Growing up on a large cattle farm and riding her horses in the rural thumb area of Michigan\, Julianne was raised on country music. She's been a single mom raising three children on her own in one of the worst economies in modern times.  It was during this time that she turned to her songwriting and dug in. \"Giving up was not an option.  Sleep wasn't an option either\, though\,\" She laughs. \"I felt a need to get my songs out there\, because there are now more homes in the U.S. that are run by single moms than ever. Women just like me who don't know how they are going to make it til the end of the month\, taking it day by day and doing their best for the ones they love. I felt that if I could convey my feelings in a song\, it might help other women out there feel like they're not alone.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Casey Abrams
DESCRIPTION:Twenty-four-year-old singer\, songwriter\, multi-instrumentalist and American Idol finalist Casey Abrams plays bass (most often)\, acoustic guitar\, drums\, Wurlitzer\, and even recorder. His story is that of a born natural\, but it’s also the story of a person who studied diligently and worked extremely hard\, striving toward his dream of a life in music. By sixth grade he began playing the electric bass guitar and in time gained proficiency on guitar\, upright bass\, cello\, drums\, even sitar. In middle school he started recording orchestral arrangements of his own voice on his karaoke machine. The incredible exposure to the entire range of timeless popular music had an intense influence on Casey’s development. He waxes rhapsodically about jazz icons like Oscar Peterson and Thelonious Monk and “the one song that really changed me: Cannonball Adderley’s version of ‘Autumn Leaves\,’ Miles plays on it.” That’s just a small part of his inspiration. He lists James Taylor\, Freddie Mercury\, AC/DC\, and even Jack Black as major influences. And it all comes together! “I want to make music that people love\, Casey says. And so he has on his eponymously titled first album.

DESCRIPTION:Calan brings together the remarkable talents of five young musicians giving a fresh and vibrant sound to traditional Welsh music. With a contemporary and lively approach they breathe new life into the old traditions through their sparkling melodies\, foot-tapping tunes and spirited and energetic performances of Welsh step-dancing. They blast their way through some of the old favorite reels\, jigs\, and hornpipes with fast-paced and uplifting arrangements before melting into some of the most beautiful and haunting songs.

They are “explorers and admirers” of indie music greats like Andrew Bird\, St. Vincent\, Sufjan Stephens\, Arcade Fire\, The Yeah\, Yeah\, Yeahs\, The Black Keys\, Sara Jaffe (and the Beatles).

DESCRIPTION:\"I got a word machine in my head. It's a damn noisy contraption. Constantly running. No 'off' switch\,\" says Ellis Paul. After growing up on a potato farm in northern Maine\, Ellis started writing songs while he was attending Boston College on a track scholarship and was laid up for several months with an injury. He's often called the quintessential New England songwriter\, and he's got a baker's dozen of Boston Music Awards to prove it. Ellis's passionate\, literate character sketches\, delivered in a soaring\, lyrical voice\, have influenced a generation of folksters toward the shamelessly poetic. The Boston Globe calls Ellis \"literate\, provocative\, urbanely romantic.\" Whatever you call him\, he's one of the major songwriters of our time. He comes to Michigan with a new release\, \"Chasing Beauty\,\" produced by Kristian Bush of the country band Sugarland. Says Absolute Punk\, which you might not think would be reviewing Ellis's albums: \"Everyone can relate to Ellis Paul and his songs\, and for that reason he continues to be a national treasure.\" Local songwriter Mike Vial\, fresh off a successful Summer Festival set\, opens the show.

SUMMARY:Performance:Quebe Sisters
DESCRIPTION:When The Quebe (rhymes with maybe) Sisters from Texas take a stage\, and the triple-threat fiddle champions start playing and singing in multi-part close harmony\, audiences are usually transfixed\, then blown away. They win standing ovations at just about every show. It’s been that way since 2000\, when they started fiddling together as pre-teens. Growing up in Burleson\, a southern suburb of Fort Worth\, Hulda\, Sophia and Grace were ages seven\, ten\, and 12 in 1998 when they attended their first local fiddle competition in nearby Denton\, and decided fiddling was what they wanted to do. The Quebes’ evolution from the whiz-kid Western swing fiddlers they were back then to the smokin’-hot young adult Americana band they are today is a remarkable story\, by any measure. Along with headlining their own shows to ever-growing audiences\, they’ve shared stages with American music legends like Willie Nelson\, George Strait\, Merle Haggard\, Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder\, Ray Price\, Connie Smith\, Marty Stuart\, Larry Gatlin and the Gatlin Brothers\, Ray Benson and Asleep at the Wheel\, Riders in the Sky\, and many others. “One thing is for sure\, you don’t see a group like The Quebe Sisters come along every day\,” Grand Ole Opry announcer Eddie Stubbs told listeners on his own show on Nashville’s WSM. “Give them your undivided attention\, and if you’re not already\, you too\, will become a fan.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Nellie McKay
DESCRIPTION:Led by a trail of incense and a little voice at the back of her brain that whispers \"Nice try\, '60s\,\" Nellie travels to a land of strange and wonderful music on My Weekly Reader\, revisiting some of the melodies born out of that fertile\, conflicted time. “Freedom’s just another word for turning off your phone\,” says Nellie. She covers songs from the era of political turmoil and creative delight by Zappa\, Ray Davies\, Steve Miller\, Country Joe McDonald\, and then some. “It's important for us to be aware and not succumb to what (jazzman) Dave Frishberg has referred to 
as ‘weapons of mass distraction\,\" adds Nellie. “These songs come out of a time of less cynicism - back in the 60's the darker things in society were balanced by a certain innocence and hope.” The New Yorker has warily described McKay as “funny and touching\, ceaselessly clever and scarily talented.” Nellie has previously released five full-length albums\, including \"Pretty Little Head\,\" \"Obligatory Villagers\,\" and \"Normal as Blueberry Pie\" (\"among the killer overhauls of American standards”—The New York Times)\, and her new music\, although it's all covers\, marks another new direction for a fearlessly creative artist.

SUMMARY:Performance:Jeffrey Gaines & Freedy Johnston
DESCRIPTION:A gifted songwriter whose lyrics paint sometimes witty\, often poignant portraits of characters often unaware of how their lives have gone wrong\, Freedy Johnston seemingly appeared out of nowhere in the early ’90s and quickly established himself as one of the most acclaimed new singer/songwriters of the day. Freedy broke through in 1994 with his hit \"Bad Reputation\" and the album \"This Perfect World\,\" earning Songwriter of the Year honors from Rolling Stone. He's written lots of other great songs\, many of them on themes of alienation and heartbreak. Freedy has been called a songwriter's songwriter\, and his music is a perfect blend of power pop and songwriter's craft. He recently released a new album\, \"Neon Repairman.\" On this double bill he's joined by another songwriter who came of age in the 1990s and has proven enduringly creative. Jeffrey Gaines released his debut on the Chrysalis label in 1992 and scored with an acoustic cover of Peter Gabriel's \"In Your Eyes.\" Jeffrey has appeared \"Late Night with Conan O'Brien\,\" \"VH-1\,\" \"Friday Night Videos\,\" and A&E's \"Breakfast with the Arts\,\" and he's toured with Paula Cole\, Tori Amos\, Tracy Chapman\, Melissa Etheridge\, Sting\, Shawn Colvin\, Edwin McCain\, The Bacon Brothers\, Joe Jackson\, and Stevie Nicks. He comes to The Ark with a new album\, \"Live in Europe.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Wilco
DESCRIPTION:After seven studio albums\, various collaborations and countless days on the road over the past 15 years\, Wilco tried something new before starting work on its eighth record\, The Whole Love\, due Sept. 27 on dBpm Records: The Chicago band took a vacation. Staying off stage for most of the latter half of 2010 was the longest break from touring that bandleader Jeff Tweedy has had in a career stretching back more than 20 years.\n\n“It was a real breath of fresh air\,” says Tweedy\, the singer\, songwriter and guitarist who founded the group in the mid-’90s. “Wilco has pretty much been recording in between scheduled tours for 15 years or more\, so it was really great to have a chance to recharge and forget how to play all the old songs.” \n\nOr\, more specifically\, to put the old songs out of mind long enough to write some new ones. Although he wasn’t out on the road much\, Tweedy was working\, writing so many songs that the musicians initially thought they had enough material for two new records when Wilco reconvened last fall in the Loft\, the group’s Chicago recording studio. \n\n“We entertained the idea of finishing both of those records independently of each other\, and then at some point\, the lines started getting blurrier and blurrier and they kind of grew together\,” Tweedy says.\n\nThe result is 12 stunning songs that showcase Wilco in a new light\, on bold rockers\, somber acoustic ballads and punchy pop songs\, bookended by the propulsive 7-minute opener “Art of Almost\,” and a meditative 12-minute closing track\, “One Sunday Morning (song for Jane Smiley’s boyfriend).” \n\nThe Whole Love is the third album by Wilco’s present lineup\, which solidified in 2004 when avant-garde guitarist Nels Cline and guitarist/keyboardist Patrick Sansone joined Tweedy\, founding bassist John Stirratt\, drummer Glenn Kotche and keyboardist Mikael Jorgensen. Together\, they released the acclaimed Sky Blue Sky in 2007 and the Grammy-nominated Wilco (The Album) in 2009. The Whole Love\, though\, captures the vibrant energy the band brings to its live performances. \n\n“This record happened because we’ve been together longer\,” Tweedy says. “Because we’ve played more shows together\, because we have a lot more faith and trust in each other\, and it sounds more natural than the last two. You just can’t fake that\, you can’t make that happen\, it’s experience.” \n\nExperience also pushed Tweedy further as a lyricist\, something he credits to letting his mind wander away from the band’s extensive back catalog while writing new songs. \n\n“I feel really good about the way the songs have all come together\, and the lyrics especially\,” he says. “I don’t feel like I’m repeating myself\, which is the best I think you can hope for after writing\, I don’t know\, a couple thousand songs.”\n\nTweedy produced The Whole Love with Sansone and Tom Schick (Rufus Wainwright\, Norah Jones\, Ryan Adams). The singer describes a deeply collaborative process as the musicians worked together to shape Tweedy’s songs into reflections of their considerable talents. \n\n“There’s just a lot of patience involved in how we’re able to work together as a band of guys who have been in bands for a long time and have made a lot of records\,” Tweedy says. “I think we’re very fortunate to be relatively mature as a rock band in our ability to be patient with each other and with the songs themselves.”\n\nPatient\, but not too patient. \n\n“The environment of the band is as much conducive to people feeling invested and having their ideas entertained as you can have in a band without just spending the rest of your life micromanaging every little decision by committee\,” Tweedy says. “We’d still be working on A.M. if that was the way it worked. We’re talking about a fucking three-chord pop song: Just finish it\, you asshole. Christ.” \n\nThe Whole Love is the first album Wilco is releasing on its own dBpm Records\, which the band founded earlier this year with headquarters in Easthampton\, MA. Anti- distributes dBpm\, which debuted the first single from the album\, “I Might\,” b/w a droll cover of Nick Lowe’s “I Love My Label\,” in June at the second-annual Wilco-curated Solid Sound Festival at MASS MoCA (the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art) in western Massachusetts. \n\nThe new album is the latest step in the ongoing evolution of Wilco\, which Tweedy founded in 1994 after the dissolution of his previous group\, alt-country standardbearers Uncle Tupelo. From its raucous roots-rock origins\, Wilco over the years has expanded its sound to encompass classic pop and genre-spanning experimentalism. Wilco also teamed with English singer Billy Bragg in the late ’90s at the invitation of Woody Guthrie’s daughter\, who invited them to collaborate on setting to music some of the folk icon’s previously unrecorded lyrics\, resulting in a pair of highly regarded Mermaid Avenue albums. \n\nAlthough Wilco has accrued critical acclaim from the start\, the band in the ’90s increasingly found itself at odds with its record company\, Reprise. Wilco proved willing to compromise on 1999’s Summerteeth\, but the relationship fell apart in 2001\, when the label declined to release Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and dropped the band. Nonesuch stepped in to release Yankee Hotel Foxtrot the following year\, and the album has since become Wilco’s top-selling effort so far. (The making of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is the subject of Sam Jones’ 2002 film I Am Trying to Break Your Heart.) Wilco recorded three subsequent albums for Nonesuch\, including 2005’s Grammy-winning A Ghost is Born\, before the band decided to start its own record company.\n\nThough dBpm (which stands for “decibels per minute”) has changed the business end of the band’s operation\, the creative end remains largely untouched. \n\nSince Summerteeth\, “We’ve gone back and gone about things almost exactly the same way every time\, and that is\, at the end of the day\, we want a record we’re really proud to put on our shelves and know that we did the best that we could do\,” Tweedy says. He laughs and adds\, “And fuck ’em. Now it’s the same thing\, except there’s really no one to say ‘fuck ’em’ to. Just ourselves.” \n\nIn addition to launching Solid Sound and dBpm with Wilco\, Tweedy also produced Mavis Staples’ Grammy-winning 2010 album You Are Not Alone. Outside Wilco\, Stirratt and Sansone lead folk-pop group The Autumn Defense\, Cline fronts the free-jazz instrumental group The Nels Cline Singers\, Jorgensen helms pop-rock band Pronto and Kotche performs solo\, in the duo On Fillmore\, and has collaborated with Tweedy in Loose Fur. \n\nWilco will spend most of the autumn on tour\, and audiences will get to fall in love with songs from The Whole Love starting Sept. 13 in Indianapolis and continuing with a European jaunt that begins Oct. 24 in Glasgow. \n\n“We’re all really excited and really proud of it and really happy with the way it came together\,” Tweedy says. “I think everybody in the band feels like they were given more free rein to do what they want to do. I think everybody enjoyed the process of making this record.”\n\nWilco are:\nJeff Tweedy – guitars\, vocals\nJohn Stirratt – bass\, vocals \nGlenn Kotche –drums\, percussion\nNels Cline – guitars\nPatrick Sansone – guitars\, keyboards\, vocals\nMikael Jorgensen – keyboards\, vocals\n\nWilco discography:\nAM (1995)\nBeing There (1996)\nMermaid Avenue (1998)\nSummerteeth (1999)\nMermaid Avenue Vol. II (2000)\nYankee Hotel Foxtrot (2002)\nA Ghost Is Born (2004)\nKicking Television: Live in Chicago (2005)\nSky Blue Sky (2007)\nWilco (The Album) (2009)\nThe Whole Love (2011)

DESCRIPTION:For Noah Gundersen\, the past few years have brought about immense growth and change\, both as an artist and as a young man grappling with issues of identity and independence. It should come as little surprise\, then\, that his stunning new album\, Carry The Ghost\, is so heavily influenced by existential philosophy.

Then again\, Noah Gundersen has never aimed for ordinary.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Steel Wheels w/sg The RFD Boys
DESCRIPTION:On hand to help The Ark celebrate its 50th anniversary are The Steel Wheels\, a remarkable young band that distills and extends a good deal of what we've been about for the past half-century. The Steel Wheels have captured audiences across the country with their heady brew of original soulful mountain music. Based in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia\, this dynamic band marries old-time musical traditions with their own innovative sound. Trent Wagler’s weathered tenor is joined by bell-clear four-part harmonies inspired by a shared Mennonite heritage. Add to this Eric Brubaker’s lively and evocative fiddle\, Brian Dickel’s grounded yet buoyant upright bass\, and Jay Lapp’s signature mandolin style\, and it’s no surprise that The Steel Wheels have conquered the Americana scene\, becoming festival favorites and selling out venues across the country. \"Americana music at its very best!\" said Larry Groce of \"Mountain Stage.\" As the band thrives\, so do their partnerships with local businesses\, artisans\, and charitable organizations. The values portrayed in their music—devotion to roots\, community\, and family—are a way of life for The Steel Wheels\, and this is reflected in everything from production process and booking agency to merchandise and touring. Opening the evening will be Michigan's own RFD Boys\, who've been with The Ark for almost all of our 50 years.\n\nTickets above the $50 level—$125\, $250 and $500—are available from The Ark office. Tickets at those levels include other benefits including: buffet dinner before the show\, valet parking\, reserved seating\, dessert reception. Call The Ark at (734) 761-1800 for more information.

SUMMARY:Performance:Huun Huur Tu
DESCRIPTION:Huun Huur Tu is a quartet of singers and instrumentalists from Tuva\, a remote region of southern Siberia near the Mongolian border. The music of Tuva's sheep and reindeer herders is best known for \"throat singing\,\" the ability of singers to produce multiple notes (a fundamental pitch plus overtones) at the same time and even to sing more than one melody simultaneously. But that's just the beginning of the wonders contained in Tuvan music\, which is thought to embody some of the oldest forms of human music-making. It is intricately linked with the forbidding natural environment in which it is made\, for one thing. And even with the depth of the tradition that Huun Huur Tu carries forward\, its members have proven themselvs adept at collaborating with Western musicians. Huun Huur Tu tours all over the world\, so Ann Arbor stops on the itinerary of this unique group are infrequent—once a decade or so. Don't miss this chance.A rare local appearance.

DESCRIPTION:Mix the Hot Club of Paris with the sweaty soul of Dixieland\, a couple blades of bluegrass\, a pinch of ragtime beat\, and a western swinging swagger\, and you've just conjured the washboard-driven sound of The Appleseed Collective. Since their 2012 debut album\, \"Baby to Beast\,\" this band has encapsulated a century's worth of music with fresh perspective. \"The blends of swing\, bluegrass\, Dixieland ditties and alluring gypsy-folk whirls—is something close to a transcendent listen .. you're there\, on some dirtroad\, being led on by these songs\,\" says reviewer Jeff Milo of iSpy magazine. The Appleseed Collective has been getting attention from as far away as the UK\, and their 2014 Ann Arbor Folk Festival appearance put them on the musical radar of a whole lot of people. The Appleseed Collective has played major festivals and clubs around the Midwest from Colorado to Pennsylvania this year\, and they're right on the brink of a big national breakthrough.

Melissa is choosing to self-title this release as it marks a \"return to self\,: She re-launched her record label\, Right on Records\, by building a new online member-based platform with a colleague.An evolution in the sound she has developed over the course of her expansive career and catalog\, the record is also a creative departure in its collaborative approach to the recording process for the multi-instrumentalist. The result is a raw\, rootsy record set to a sweeping Americana/alt-country soundtrack that layers pedal steel guitars and background harmonies into some of the lushest\, brightest songs of Melissa's 20-year career.

SUMMARY:Performance:Kim Richey
DESCRIPTION:Kim Richey\, says Steve Horowitz of PopMatters\, \"would rule the charts in a land where Marshall Crenshaw was king\, Aimee Mann queen\, and the The Beatles never put out another record after Revolver.” Kim is the embodiment of \"critically acclaimed\" and has written two number-one and four top-ten hits. She has had her songs recorded by the likes of Trisha Yearwood\, and sung on albums by Ryan Adams\, Shawn Colvin\, and Mary Chapin Carpenter. She's still dreaming up fetching melodies that arc and bend in unexpected ways\, still treading the line between country and pop in creative ways\, and still discovering fresh angles from which to articulate matters of the heart.

SUMMARY:Performance:Hoots and Hellmouth
DESCRIPTION:Philadelphia's Hoots and Hellmouth are the duo of singer-songwriters Sean Hoots and Andrew Gray (he's Hellmouth)\, augmented by other musicians as needed. They call their sound \"new music for old souls\,\" and it has elements of alt-country\, classic folk\, punk\, and jam-band freedom. This band blends the tangled roots of American music in a fierce and fiery alchemy\, with soulful three-part harmonies mixed with stringed things and foot stomps\, building a synergy that bursts from the stage. It’s city and country. It’s rock and soul. It's bleeding\, sweating\, crying\, rejoicing … It’s alive! The Kalamazoo Gazette came pretty close to the Hoots and Hellmouth experience with the description of the duo \"singing from the pits of themselves and throwing themselves into it all.\" Hoots and Hellmouth have been big local favorites ever since their roof-raising appearances at the 2010 Ann Arbor Folk Festival.\nThis performance is in memory of Al Howarth.

SUMMARY:Performance:The California Honeydrops
DESCRIPTION:The California Honeydrops don’t just play music—they throw parties. Led by dynamic vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Lech Wierzynski\, and drawing on diverse musical influences from Bay Area R&B\, funk\, Southern soul\, Delta blues\, and New Orleans second-line\, the Honeydrops bring vibrant energy and infectious dance-party vibes to their shows. They’ve taken the party all over the world: on 9 European tours\, featured slots at such premiere festivals as Monterey Jazz\, High Sierra\, and Outside Lands\, and recent performances supporting B.B. King\, Dr. John\, Buddy Guy\, and Allen Toussaint. Whether in those high-profile performances or in more intimate venues where the band itself can leave the stage and get down on the dance floor\, the California Honeydrops’ shared vision and purpose remain: to make the audience dance and sing. The Honeydrops have come a long way since guitarist and trumpeter Lech Wierzynkski and drummer Ben Malament started busking in an Oakland BART station\, but the band has stayed true to that organic\, street-level feel. With the additions of Johnny Bones on tenor sax and clarinet\, Lorenzo Loera on keyboards\, and Beau Bradbury on bass\, they’ve built a powerful full-band sound to support Wierzynski’s vocals. Listening to Lech sing\, it can be a surprise that he was born in Warsaw\, Poland\, and raised by Polish political refugees. He learned his vocal stylings from contraband American recordings of Sam Cooke\, Ray Charles\, and Louis Armstrong\, and later at Oberlin College and on the club circuit in Oakland\, California. Bringing all those influences together with the rest of the band’s diverse experiences into a unified musical vision\, the California Honeydrops expect to play parties for a long time. The effortlessly multi-genre Ann Arbor band The Understorey opens.

SUMMARY:Performance:Willie Watson
DESCRIPTION:CORRECTION: This show is on TUESDAY\, OCTOBER 6TH. The date was previously listed as Friday\, October 16th.\n\nIn the exploding world of acoustic music\, Willie Watson hardly needs an introduction. During his decade-plus tenure with Old Crow Medicine Show\, Willie’s driving rhythm guitar\, transcendent lead vocals and pure tenor were an essential part of the band’s success (over 600\,000 records sold not to mention the platinum-selling single “Wagon Wheel”)\, but nowhere in OCMS’s catalog does his instrumental artistry and vocal prowess shine through as in his new solo incarnation. Reaching back for inspiration to such artists as Utah Phillips\, Leadbelly\, and even the 1930s folk-country crossover artist Bascom Lamar Lunsford\, Willie reinterprets and gives new life to a vast catalog of traditional songs that fit seamlessly beside self-penned classics cut from the very same cloth\, creating a rich new patchwork of Americana. Willie returns to The Ark fresh off a tour of the UK\, and we're glad to see him taking the music The Ark started out with all over the world.

SUMMARY:Performance:San\, Emily & Jacob
DESCRIPTION:The trio of San\, Emily and Jacob formed in 2013\, but they have a long history together. Father and daughter San & Emily Slomovits have been playing music together since Emily was a young child. San\, along with his brother Laz\, as the duo Gemini\, have been a highly popular folk act throughout Michigan and the United States since 1973\, and Emily began joining them on stage when she was just eight years old. Jacob Warren and Emily have known each other since kindergarten and have played music together in many settings throughout their school years. Emily is an accomplished violinist\, having studied classical violin for more than a decade\, and has also developed a lovely and unique singing style. Jacob Warren is an up-and-coming young bassist in both the folk and classical scenes. San\, Emily and Jacob’s concerts feature a range of traditional and contemporary folk\, jazz and classical music\, and Broadway show tunes and more. Their beautifully blended harmony vocals and exciting instrumental work breathe new life into this wide variety of music\, and audiences thrill to their warmth\, humor and ease on stage.

SUMMARY:Performance:Alasdair Fraser & Natalie Haas
DESCRIPTION:Recognized as one of the finest fiddle players Scotland has ever produced\, Alasdair Fraser combines terrific stage presence\, a deep understanding of centuries of Scottish tradition\, and a sweet tone that makes the heartstrings resonate in sympathetic vibration when he lays on the Celtic melancholy. He's joined on stage by his newest collaborator\, the young American cellist Natalie Haas\, who first came to his attention when she was 11 and attended one of his Valley of the Moon Scottish fiddling camps. Haas's cello has both melodic and rhythmic roles in the duo\, and according to Fraser that's nothing new in Scots music. \"People may be familiar with the gorgeous\, melodic cello sound\,\" he has said\, \"but they're surprised to learn that the cello used to comprise the rhythm section in Scottish dance bands.\" This absolutely infectious pair comes to Michigan with a new album\, \"Abundance.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Patty Griffin
DESCRIPTION:Patty Griffin's songs are beautiful\, intense\, and challenging. A Maine native and a Boston coffeehouse sensation\, Patty headed south to Austin\, and her work combines Southern roots sounds and Northeastern poetry. Her elegant lyrics\, bluesy alto vocals\, and melodic guitar style aim directly at the deepest emotions of her listeners\, and top artists on the country and acoustic side—like Emmylou Harris and even Kelly Clarkson—keep close tabs on what she's up to. Emmylou says\, \"I would go anywhere\, any time\, to hear Patty Griffin sing her extraordinary songs.\" She can rock a bit\, she can sing straight gospel\, she can do the sparest and most minimal kind of folk singer-songwriter performance. But what really distinguishes Patty Griffin is a body of deeply poetic songs\, personal in unexpected ways\, that can stand with the output of anyone else in the business. Patty Griffin comes to Michigan with a brand-new album\, her tenth: it's called \"Servant of Love\,\" and it's rooted in the mysteries of the natural world\, the writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Walt Whitman\, and human relationships to nature\, society\, and time.

SUMMARY:Performance:Ben Daniels Band
DESCRIPTION:When Ben Daniels decided he was going to be a musician\, it was more than a career choice. A natural poet\, this young songwriter went to school on Bob Dylan\, Robert Johnson\, and Jack White\, among others. His lyrics speak directly to a younger generation that hears\, sees\, and thinks about the very things he’s writing. From their opening song to the finale of their set\, The Ben Daniels Band cuts through with their originality\, musicianship\, and a sound that spans Americana\, blues\, jazz\, and rock. Through years of touring\, The BDB has played notable venues in Michigan such as The Ark\, The Blind Pig\, and the Magic Bag\, and has toured to New York City\, Washington D.C.\, and Nashville. The son of actor Jeff Daniels\, Ben has quietly monitored what it takes to live life as an artist. Beyond a passed-down talent\, the Ben Daniels Band believes in hard work\, perseverance\, and creatively challenging themselves and their audience. Their songs become anthems with arrangements that pull people inside their sound. With six CDs under their belts—\"Coming From The C\,\" \"Checkin’ In To The Michigan Inn\,\" \"Can’t You See\,\" \"The Mountain Home\" EP\, the dual album & movie release \"Old Gold\,\" and their most recent release\, \"Roll\"—The Ben Daniels Band has grown to be a formidable group that sounds pleasantly familiar\, yet unforgettably unique.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Dustbowl Revival
DESCRIPTION:The Dustbowl Revival is a Venice\, California-based collective that merges old school bluegrass\, gospel\, jug-band\, swamp blues\, and the hot swing of the 1930’s to form a spicy roots cocktail. Known for their inspired live sets\, The Dustbowl Revival boldly brings together many styles of traditional American music. Imagine Old Crow Medicine Show meeting Louis Armstrong’s Hot Seven Band in New Orleans or Bob Dylan and Fats Waller jamming with Mumford & Sons on a front porch in 1938. Growing steadily from a small string band playing up and down the West Coast (hundreds shows in the last two years)\, DBR has blossomed into a traveling collective featuring instrumentation that often includes fiddle\, mandolin\, trombone\, clarinet\, trumpet\, banjo\, accordion\, tuba\, pedal steel\, drums\, guitars\, a bass made from a canoe oar\, harmonica\, and plenty of washboard and kazoo for luck. The Dustbowl Revival comes to Michigan with a new album\, \"With a Lampshade On.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Lindi Ortega
DESCRIPTION:A buzzard sits atop it. The grass brown and parched below. It’s dusty\, faded\, chipped at the edges\, graffiti filling the empty white spaces\, a bullet hole or two visible in the large\, black letters that read: Welcome to Faded Gloryville. Leave your dreams behind. In the eyes and imagination of acclaimed Canadian-Nashvillian singer-songwriter Lindi Ortega it’s a place we’ve all been\, we’re all familiar with or will one day know all too well. And for Lindi\, it was also the source of inspiration—in title and in spirit—for her stunning new collection of country-kissed songs that make up her fourth full-length release. It is an album that is filled with the sights and sounds and souls of those who’ve found themselves in Faded Gloryville\, brought to its saloons\, flophouses and cheap motels by drink\, by debt\, by vanity\, heartbreak\, failure\, fear or misfortune. Lindi's first glimpse of the place\, oddly enough\, was in another artistic vision\, that of the Jeff Bridges film \"Crazy Heart\,\" which depicts a fellow musician exiled in a similar metaphorical town\, down-and-out\, drunk and debasing himself and his talents for those who couldn't care less.“I had a moment where I thought\, ‘Could this be me? Could I wind up like this?’ ” says Lindi. “That was a very honest question to myself.” Nashville Americana duo Smooth Hound Smith opens!

DESCRIPTION:The Black Lillies offer rich\, rootsy tunes performed with as much heart as technical virtuosity. This commitment to authenticity has earned them accolades from outlets as diverse as Rolling Stone\, which calls them one of “the most buzzworthy new acts in country and Americana\,” and the Wall Street Journal\, which praised their “rootsy flair … a winsome hybrid traditional enough to appeal to an Opry crowd and expansive enough to ensnare a broader audience.\" The Black Lillies have enthralled audiences at festivals ranging from Bonnaroo and South by Southwest to CMA Fan Fair and Stagecoach\, won two Independent Music Awards\, and has played the Grand Ole Opry more than any other independent band. The music\, featuring former Robinella & the CC Stringband multi-instrumentalist Cruz Contreras\, is breakneck\, brazen and beautiful\; gentle Laurel Canyon folk\, sultry Muscle Shoals soul\, the honky-tonk heartache of classic country\, winding jams and flat-out rock’n’roll … but full of the spirit of the open road\, heading down the highway and not about to stop anytime soon!

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:$2.00 a Day: Living on Almost Nothing in America
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public. Book signing and reception to follow.\nThis event will be live webstreamed. \n\nAbout the book:\n\nAfter two decades of brilliant research on American poverty\, Kathryn Edin noticed something she hadn’t seen since the mid-1990s — households surviving on virtually no income. Edin teamed with Luke Shaefer\, an expert on calculating incomes of the poor\, to discover that the number of American families living on $2.00 per person\, per day\, has skyrocketed to 1.5 million American households\, including about 3 million children. Where do these families live? How did they get so desperately poor? Edin has “turned sociology upside down” (Mother Jones) with her procurement of rich — and truthful — interviews. Through the book’s many compelling profiles\, moving and startling answers emerge.\n\nThe authors illuminate a troubling trend: a low-wage labor market that increasingly fails to deliver a living wage\, and a growing but hidden landscape of survival strategies among America’s extreme poor. More than a powerful exposé\, $2.00 a Day delivers new evidence and new ideas to our national debate on income inequality.\n\nFor more information about $2.00 a Day: Living on Almost Nothing in America\, visit the publisher's website.\n\nFrom the authors' bios:\n\nH. Luke Shaefer is an associate professor of social work and public policy. His research focuses on the effectiveness of the United States social safety net in serving low-wage workers and economically disadvantaged families. His recent work explores rising levels of extreme poverty in the United States\, the impact of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and other means-tested programs on material hardships\, and barriers to unemployment insurance faced by vulnerable workers.\n\nKathryn Edin is the Bloomberg Distinguished Professor in the Department of Sociology\, Zanvyl Krieger School of Arts and Sciences and Department of Population\, Family\, and Reproductive Health\, Bloomberg School of Public Health. She has also taught at Rutgers University\, Northwestern University\, the University of Pennsylvania\, and\, most recently\, Harvard University as a Professor of Public Policy and Management at the Harvard Kennedy School and chair of their Multidisciplinary Program in Inequality and Social Policy. She is a Trustee of the Russell Sage Foundation and on the Department of Health and Human Services advisory committee for the poverty research centers at Michigan\, Wisconsin\, and Stanford. She is a founding member of the MacArthur Foundation-funded Network on Housing and Families with Young Children and a past member of the MacArthur Network on the Family and the Economy. In 2014 she became a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Political and Social Sciences.\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the National Poverty Center and the University of Michigan School of Social Work.\n\nFor more information go to: http://fordschool.umich.edu/events/2015/200-day-living-almost-nothing-america

SUMMARY:Performance:Rhiannon Giddens
DESCRIPTION:Those unfamiliar with her Grammy Award–winning work as a member of AfricanAmerican folk interpreters Carolina Chocolate Drops may wonder who exactly Rhiannon Giddens is. If you've just now noticed her elegant bearing\, prodigious voice\, and fierce spirit\, you are in for a genre-bending treat\, an evening of musical Americana at its best! On her Nonesuch-label solo debut\, \"Tomorrow Is My Turn\,\" Giddens ranges from Odetta's blazing \"Waterboy\" to a gentle\, ruminative interpretation of Dolly Parton’s “Don’t Let It Trouble Your Mind” and a version of Hank Cochran’s “She’s Got You\,” popularized by Patsy Cline\, that Giddens imbues with an old-timey R&B vibe. \"Tomorrow Is My Turn\" incorporates gospel\, jazz\, blues\, and country\, plus a hint of proto-rock and roll\, and Rhiannon displays an emotional range to match her dazzling vocal prowess throughout. Says folklorist and singer Margaret Bennett: \"Rhiannon is a show-stopper — not only for her glorious voice but also for her incredible versatility. She ranges across many styles and genres\, and is equally at ease singing opera\, blues\, gospel and Gaelic or whatever the moment takes. A rare talent!\" Bhi Bhiman\, who has been called the Sri Lankan Woody Guthrie\, opens.\n\nPresented with support from Susan McClanahan & Bill Zimmerman

SUMMARY:Performance:Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors w/sg Penny & Sparrow
DESCRIPTION:Some artists are able to articulate a vision at the very beginning of their career\, while others hone their craft over time\, growing into their vision as they mature. “I am definitely in the latter category\,” explains Drew Holcomb\, a Tennessee-born\, duck-hunting\, French-speaking\, bourbon-drinking\, book-collecting\, golf-playing Eagle Scout with a master's degree in Divinity from Scotland’s University of St Andrews (he wrote his dissertation on “Springsteen and American Redemptive Imagination”) who has spent the past decade as a professional musician. Since releasing their first album\, 2005’s \"Washed In Blue\,\" Drew and his band The Neighbors (Ellie Holcomb\, Nathan Dugger\, Rich Brinsfield) have toured with The Avett Brothers\, Ryan Adams\, Los Lobos\, and The North Mississippi Allstars\, among others. Drew comes to Michigan with a new album\, \"Medicine\,\" containing 12 songs that deal with loyalty\, hardship\, marriage\, friendship\, feeling like an outsider\, and wrestling with God. Penny & Sparrow\, the Swell Season- and Bon Iver-influenced Texas duo of Andy Baxter and Kyle Jahnke\, open the show.

SUMMARY:Performance:George Bedard's \"Different Trains -- Same Time\"
DESCRIPTION:If you accompanied the legendary George Bedard on his first trip through 20th century American roots music in 2013 — From Ragtime to Rock ‘n’ Roll\, and got back on the bus for his second tour in 2014 — From Delta Blues to Chicago Blues\, you’re going to want to climb aboard Different Trains — Same Time\, his third in a series. For this production\, frontman Bedard will reach back in time to classic modern country singers like Merle Haggard\, Johnny Cash\, George Jones\, and Buck Owens who were peaking at the same time as the Kings of the blues — BB\, Freddie\, and Albert\, and showcase each of their unique music styles\, all on the same stage\, at the same time.\n\nLest you think the Ark will be too crowded with icons of the past\, Bedard is featuring some of today’s most-gifted musicians like special guests Ricky Nye\, the versatile blues\, boogie\, and New Orleans-style pianist from Cincinnati\; Bobby Murray\, award-winning blues guitarist (with Etta James for many years)\, songwriter\, and record producer\; Mark O’Boyle\, pedal and lap steel guitar\; Mark Newbound\, country shuffle drummer (both Marks were with Bedard’s country band “The Bonnevilles” in the 1980s)\, and Patrick Prouty\, bass\, and Rich Dishman\, drums\, of the indomitable Kingpins.\n\n“This train isn’t going to leave the station quietly\,” warns Bedard. The full band will come out like a speeding locomotive to open the show with Johnny Cash’s “Folsom Prison Blues\,” before throttling back for a solo and some duet songs with O’Boyle\, a couple of instrumentals from “Pickin’ Apart the Past\,” after which Nye and Newbound will drive the first set home with a classic country segment. The second set will begin by featuring three to four of Ricky Nye’s blues and boogie tunes before bringing up Bobby Murray\, when the entire band will kick out a tribute to the Kings of the blues.\n\nHaving been hailed as both a local and national treasure\, Bedard has closed Ann Arbor’s Top of the Park for 25 years\, performed on the main stage for the Food Gatherers fund raiser for 20 years\, and last year took the Kingpins to Honduras to perform as guests of the U. S. Embassy during it’s celebration of U. S. Independence Day. The four-day tour\, part of the Arts Envoy Program sponsored by the U. S. Department of State and local educational and cultural institutions\, also included hands-on teaching performances at schools and orphanages. “We were pleased to have been asked to do this U.S. Embassy Honduras tour\,\" said Bedard. “It gave us an opportunity to spread the American roots music styles to another audience altogether.”

SUMMARY:Performance:The Verve Pipe
DESCRIPTION:With sales of three million albums worldwide\, the Verve Pipe was one of Michigan rock and roll's great success stories of the 1990s. Formed in East Lansing\, the band gained a following for its textured rock songs distinguished by inventive arrangements\, soul-searching lyrics and layered vocals. Lead singer Brian Vander Ark has gone onto a solo career and become an Ark favorite with his songs of family\, love\, and loss. But after being approached to submit a song for a compilation album called \"Calling All Kids\,\" the Verve Pipe reunited to record their award-nominated kids' CD\, \"A Family Album.\" Now the creative spark touched off by those sessions has led to more Verve Pipe music for adults as well. The Verve Pipe has had a reputation for dazzling live shows from the start\, and now they're back\, up close and personal\, at The Ark—with a new album\, \"Overboard\"!

SUMMARY:Performance:Loudon Wainwright III
DESCRIPTION:Loudon Wainwright III\, or LW3 for short\, is a cherished icon of American folk music\, a darkly witty and touchingly personal songwriter and storyteller. He started out in the folk clubs of New York and Boston before going on to a long career that's encompassed both music and acting. He has given birth to over 20 albums (as well as fathering some very successful musical offspring)\, written folk classics including \"Dead Skunk\" and \"The Man Who Couldn't Cry\,\" and created music for film and theater. The \"Boardwalk Empire\" soundtrack\, including LW3 music\, recently won a Grammy. Loudon’s most recent project is his one-man play entitled \"Surviving Twin\,\" which the singer-songwriter calls a \"posthumous collaboration\" with his writer father.

SUMMARY:Performance:Kat Edmonson
DESCRIPTION:Kat Edmonson  grew up in Houston with a mother who introduced her to the Great American Songbook. Her self-released debut album \"Take To the Sky\" hit the top 20 on Billboard’s jazz charts\, adding enough juice that she found herself playing gigs with Willie Nelson and Lyle Lovett. A musical kinship with Lyle led to a high-profile duet on the Christmas classic “Baby\, It’s Cold Outside” which the pair performed together on tour as well as on \"The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.\" This set the stage for \"Way Down Low\,\" her second record and first to include her original material. The album hit number one on the iTunes jazz chart. After selling out club shows in New York\, Boston\, Houston\, and Los Angeles\, Edmonson hit the road last fall supporting fellow Austin musician Gary Clark Jr. and later\, Chris Isaak. \"I think she’s great\,\" says Lyle. \"She’s got such an authentic\, almost old-time jazz quality about her.\" Like the famous Texan Norah Jones\, Kat is finding her way between jazz and contemporary songwriting. She comes to Michigan with a new release\, \"The Big Picture.\" Singer-songwriter Milton opens.

SUMMARY:Performance:Tall Heights
DESCRIPTION:“Folk” has become a funny label for Tall Heights. It felt right when they went all-in on a career in music\, street performing over 100 days in six months to fund their first recordings. It felt right when their plucky single “To Be Young” worked its way into the hearts of their hometown of Boston and spread to the nation on Pandora and Spotify. It felt right when they played 300-plus shows in 2013 and 2014 all across the U. S. However\, as sounds from their new EP\, \"Holding on\, Holding Out\,\" begin to surface\, Tall Heights is staying true to their harmony-\, cello- and guitar-laden souls\, while creating something indie\, something chic\, something new. Says Jason Marck of Chicago's WBEZ radio: “There have been many bands in recent years that have employed beautiful close harmonies\, but when you add the strings and the great songwriting\, Tall Heights is a notch above the pack.”

SUMMARY:Performance:Carbon Leaf
DESCRIPTION:The Richmond\, Virginia–based group Carbon Leaf began as an independent band in 1992\, then signed on with Vanguard Records for a three-album stint in 2004. Along the way they scored hit singles at both AAA and Hot AC Radio with \"Life Less Ordinary\" and \"The Boxer\,\" placed first in the International Songwriting Competition\, won an American Music Award\, and recorded the music for Universal's \"Curious George II\" soundtrack. Says the Washington Examiner: \"Some call Carbon Leaf's music Southern\, others label it Celtic\, and still others say it leans toward bluegrass or some combination of formats. No matter what your take on the band's sound\, almost everyone can agree that Carbon Leaf creates music that just isn't heard anywhere else—and that's what keeps fans clamoring for more music.\" As Carbon Leaf settles into their third decade of recording and touring\, the band’s rigorous path of independence continues\, focusing on writing\, producing and releasing new material directly to their fans. They come to Michigan with a new album\, \"Indian Summer Revisited.\"

The Infatuations are simply …  Detroit. This band is a celebration of every sonic movement borne of the Motor City\; the well-crafted pop-soul of Motown\, to the sheer in-your-face bravado of Parliament Funkadelic\, to the raw untamed energy of the MC5. This band tore up our 2015 Art Fair stage\, and they've been all over Michigan and the Midwest this summer\, with appearances at the Concert of Colors\, St. Andrews Hall\, and the Funk & Soul Festival in Chicago. Dare to become infatuated!

SUMMARY:Performance:Lee Ann Womack
DESCRIPTION:In a world of faster\, harder\, louder\, Lee Ann Womack wants something far more radical: to be real. \"It just seems like music when it is most powerful hits you right between the eyes\,\" says Lee Ann\, in whom Time has noted \"the clarity of a soul that realizes loss is a form of purification\, a scraping away of false ideals and excess emotional baggage.\" Lee Ann's new Sugar Hill album\, \"The Way I'm Livin'\,\" is an unvarnished collection of songs by some of America's most progressive songwriters: Hayes Carll\, Mindy Smith\, Buddy Miller\, and Chris Knight\, whose \"Send It On Down\" offers an agonizing portrait of a lost soul trying to find some speck of hope. Lee Ann is one of modern country's most acclaimed vocalists\, but\, she says\, \"I've never made a record like this. We only cut songs that spoke to me. I didn't think about anything else: 'What would marketing want?' 'What would promotion want?' There were no voices in my head\, and I embraced songs that really\, really moved me.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Milk Carton Kids
DESCRIPTION:Grammy-nominated harmony duo The Milk Carton Kids are touring in support  of the May 19\, 2015 release of their third album\, Monterey. A refreshing alternative to the foot-stomping grandeur of the so-called “folk revival\,” an understated virtuosity defines The Milk Carton Kids and their new album. The two years since the release of their last album\, The Ash & Clay\, have been significant ones for the group. In addition to a Grammy nomination for Best Folk Album\, The Milk Carton Kids won Duo/Group of the Year at the Americana Music Awards in 2014. Their featured performances and interviews in T Bone Burnett & the Coen Brothers' concert documentary\, \"Another Day/Another Time\,” brought the band its widest audience and their 55-city North American tour last year sold out months in advance. Cultural purveyors from Garrison Keillor to T Bone Burnett to Billy Bragg have hailed the duo’s importance among a group of new folk bands\, both expanding and contradicting the rich tradition that precedes them. Yet while some of the band’s many accolades reference a specific genre\, the duo quickly transcends those tags with clear inflections of jazz\, classical\, even the dark lyricism of modern “alternative.\" This past year\, The Milk Carton Kids were asked to pay tribute to Johnny Cash and Emmylou Harris — Cash on the Joe Henry-produced remake of “Bitter Tears\,” and Harris with their standing ovation performance at the tribute concert “The Life & Songs of Emmylou Harris\,” among luminaries including Kris Kristofferson\, Mavis Staples\, Alison Kraus\, Iron & Wine\, and Harris herself. If Cash and Harris taught us that American music is meant to be taken at its expansive word\, without confines or borders\, The Milk Carton Kids appear to have taken the lesson to heart. Songwriter Anaïs Mitchell opens!

SUMMARY:Performance:The Ragbirds
DESCRIPTION:The Ragbirds exhibit a gleeful disregard for contemporary folk-rock convention. The group is clearly built around the multi-talented Erin Zindle\, who is not only the singer and songwriter\, but is proficient in a variety of stringed instruments. This classically trained violinist can aptly pluck the eight-stringed mandolin\, wield a wild accordion\, and rock the banjo while maintaining lead vocals. SAfter seven years of averaging nearly 175 shows a year\, all over America\, these Ann Arbor-based world-beat-folk-rockers finally took a break from touring in late summer 2013 to celebrate the birth of Aviva Alice Moore\, daughter of Erin Zindle and percussionist Randall Moore. This is the Ragbirds' Halloween show—the band will be in costume\, and you're encouraged to dress up too!

SUMMARY:Performance:Wild Child
DESCRIPTION:Wild Child’s Texan founding members Kelsey Wilson and Alexander Beggins first met in 2009 while touring with a Danish act called The Migrant. When the two wrote their first song\, the chemistry was undeniable. The two rented out an unfurnished home studio in Austin to write and record 2010’s \"Pillow Talk.\" That record was by definition a work in progress. As they built the record\, they also built the band. \"Pillow Talk\" garnered three number-one spots on the indie music trendsetter website Hype Machine and has been streamed more than give million times on Spotify. Wild Child offers velvety melodies\, storyline drive\, and a wry delivery that established them from the start as a band of uncommon character and narrative reach. Their infectious hooks and fully-realized sound have so far earned the group national exposure\, including a featured-artist slot on \"CBS Saturday Morning.\" The band now has the same advantages that we all get from a few more years of living: these songs still reflect on young love\, but they’re a little wiser\, more at home with the uncomfortable realities of loss and uncertainty\, acknowledging in one song that we’re “born to change our minds.\" They come to Michigan with a new album\, \"Fools.\" New York multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter Elliot Moss is special guest.

SUMMARY:Performance:Bill Staines
DESCRIPTION:Now in his sixth decade of performing\, Bill Staines tells heartfelt stories in song of places he's been and people he's met. Bill's songs have turned into folk standards\, running through the repertoires of several generations of performers including Jerry Jeff Walker\, Grandpa Jones\, Fairport Convention\, Priscilla Herdman\, Gordon Bok\, Aiofe Clancy\, and Peter\, Paul and Mary. He's a champion yodeler\, a wit to match the standup world's best\, a guitarist with a unique style (a southpaw\, he plays a right-handed guitar upside down)\, and a musician with a gift for instantly memorable tunes that are liable to turn into singalongs at any time. Says Nanci Griffith (for whom Staines's \"Roseville Fair\" has been a longtime staple): \"Bill Staines has been my hero since 1977. He carries on where Woody left off—carrying on the tradition of stories and characters you wish you knew.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Adrian Legg
DESCRIPTION:Guitar gods in training\, take notice. Voted Guitarist of the Decade by Guitarist magazine and Best Acoustic Fingerstylist four years in a row by readers of Guitar Player\, Adrian Legg dazzles audiences with an unclassifiable mixture of country\, jazz\, folk\, rock\, and classical styles. For all his rapid-fire playing\, though\, Adrian never loses sight of melodies and their power to move us. And on top of that\, he's a tall tale teller of the first order\, with a dry sense of humor that would be reason enough in itself to come to one of his concerts. Says Newsday: \"Unlike Richard Thompson or Robert Fripp\, in whose league he belongs\, Legg seems never to have been seduced by rock. But unlike Leo Kottke or Ry Cooder\, whom he also occasionally resembles\, Legg is an adventurer\, not an archivist.\" He is\, quite simply\, one of the greatest guitarists in the world\, and perhaps the very least heralded among that group.

SUMMARY:Performance:Tom Paxton
DESCRIPTION:The songs of Tom Paxton\, says Pete Seeger\, \"have a way of sneaking up on you. .. Like the songs of Woody Guthrie\, they're becoming part of America.\" Tom Paxton has been a prime influence on other songwriters since he emerged in Greenwich Village in the 1960s\, including some you might expect (Holly Near) and some you might not (Guy Clark). At 77\, he's still writing lots of songs\, many so topical that they never make it onto his albums—you have to come to his shows to hear them. Tom once listed his influences as Pete Seeger\, Woody Guthrie\, Bob Gibson\, Burl Ives\, Tom Lehrer\, and Mississippi John Hurt\, but even that motley collection doesn't quite encompass the man and his music. On a recent Grammy telecast Tom received a Lifetime Achievement Award\, but he's not resting on those or any other laurels\, and he always brings something new each time he comes to Michigan. In fact\, he's coming to Michigan with a new album\, \"Redemption Road.\" Tom has said that his current tour will be his last\, so don't miss the chance to experience a folk legend.

SUMMARY:Performance:Stephen Kellogg
DESCRIPTION:Over the last decade Massachusetts songwriter Stephen Kellogg has performed more than 1500 concerts in more than a dozen countries\, both solo and with a band. In 2013 he gave a TEDx Talk about job satisfaction. Recently on a tour of Europe\, SK (as fans often referto him) made a detour to play the Middle East\, Africa and an aircraft carrier for the Armed Forces. Upon returning to the USA\, he started his annual lyric writing campaign to raise money and awareness in the fight against pediatric cancer. At first glance none of this has anything to do with his music\, but Stephen Kellogg would argue\, “it is the whole story. The music I make is a reflection of how I spend my time and what I care deeply about.” His Americana-tinged\, sometimes folk\, often rock\, occasionally pop stylings can make Kellogg hard to define\, and his most recent four-part album “South\, West\, North\, East” embraces the notion of genre-splitting to the fullest. Songwriter Brooks Hubbard opens.

DESCRIPTION:Colin Hay is a master of the one-man show. Armed with an acoustic guitar\, his rich memorable voice\, and decades of road experience\, he is an entertainer in the true sense of the word. Colin's show takes his audience on a journey through song and stories\, and that journey is an experience not to be missed. “Hay is funnier than most stand-up comedians\, so he’ll split your sides and then drop a heartbreaking ditty on you\,\" says the Houston Chronicle. The set list for his solo shows mixes tracks from his extensive catalogue as a solo songwriter\, new music\, and\, of course\, from his time with the monumentally successful Men At Work. “I’ve been singing\, playing guitar\, writing songs\, and trying to entertain people since I was 14 years old.” says Colin. “I feel\, at the present time\, that I may\, on any given night\, be getting the hang of it!” Colin Hay was a memorable master of ceremonies for both nights of the 2013 Ann Arbor Folk Festival. He comes to Michigan with a new album\, \"Next Year People\"—fresh off his Last Summer on Earth tour.

SUMMARY:Performance:Elephant Revival
DESCRIPTION:The five souls in Elephant Revival are Sage Cook (banjo\, guitar\, mandolin\, tenor banjo\, bass and fiddle)\; Bridget Law (fiddle\, octave fiddle)\; Bonnie Paine (washboard\, djembe\, musical saw\, stompbox)\; Daniel Rodriguez (guitar\, banjo\, bass)\; and Dango Rose (double-bass\, mandolin\, banjo). All share vocals and write songs. Paine delivers additional beats via footstomps on plywood\, her stockinged feet doing near jigs as her hands\, encased in antique leather gloves\, rub silver nickel against corrugated metal. This Nederland\, Colorado\, quintet has quite a sound to be experienced\, especially when they fall into the pocket of a groove containing elements of gypsy\, rock\, Celtic\, alt-country and folk. The Indie Acoustic Music Project simply labeled their sound “progressive edge.” At least\, that’s the category in which it placed the band when it gave their Ruff Shod/Nettwerk Records release\, BREAK IN THE CLOUDS\, a best CD of 2011 award. It’s as good a label as any to convey what Dango Rose has described as their mission: “to close the gap of separation between us through the eternal revelry of song and dance.” Elephant Revival also shares a commitment to responsible stewardship of the planet and its inhabitants\, working with organizations such as the Conscious Alliance\, Calling All Crows\, Trees Water & People\, and other nonprofits supporting humanitarian causes. Their very name was chosen out of empathy for a pair of zoo pachyderms who\, upon being separated after 16 years\, died on the same day.

SUMMARY:Performance:David Broza
DESCRIPTION:Israeli superstar David Broza has been considered one of the most dynamic and vibrant performers in the singer/songwriter world. His charismatic and energetic performances have brought to worldwide audiences\, a fusion of three different countries in which he was raised: Israel\, Spain\, and England\, filling concert halls with famous guitar playing\, ranging from flamenco-flavored rhythmic and percussive techniques\, to whirlwind finger picking\, to a signature rock'n'roll sound. David unites the three worlds by utilizing his ability to take on the troubadour tradition\, up to now\, featuring lyrics of the worlds' greatest poets More than a singer/songwriter\, David Broza is also well known for his commitment and dedication to several humanitarian causes\, predominantly\, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Beginning in 1977\, Broza has been working to bring the message of peace to the masses by joining peace movements\, and singing what has become the anthem of the peace process\, his hit song\, \"Yihye Tov\". Since that time\, Broza has released over 30 albums in Hebrew\, English and Spanish\,  many of which have become gold and platinum albums. In the year 2006 David Broza received the \"In Search for Common Ground\" award along with Palestinian musician/composer Said Murad\, and in 2009 the Spanish King\, Juan Carlos I\, decorated him with the Spanish Royal Medal of Honor for his longtime contribution to Israel-Spain relations\, and his dedication to promotion of tolerance and conflict resolution. Among his recent releases\, Broza dedicated an album to the unpublished poetry of US singer songwriter\, Townes Van Zandt\, called \"Night Dawn\".  Broza also published his first completely self-written and composed Hebrew album titled \"Third Language\". The year 2014 saw the release of one of the most challenging albums in Broza's long career - an album recorded in its entirety in the Palestinian Sabreen Studio in East Jerusalem\, with the help of American multi-Grammy Award Winner\, singer-songwriter Steve Earle as producer. The collaborative work of the Israeli and Palestinian musicians\, sound engineers\, camera men\, chefs and many others who came to assist and be part of the eight days and nights\, produced a beautiful\, intimate and special album and documentary\, \"East Jerusalem West Jerusalem.\"  Throughout 2015\, David has been touring and promoting this latest work.

SUMMARY:Performance:Lera Lynn
DESCRIPTION:Singer-songwriter Lera Lynn\, born in Texas\, raised in Georgia\, and now based in Nashville\, self-released her sophomore album\, \"The Avenues\,\" (out now)\, which continues to receive praise and critical acclaim from many sources.

SUMMARY:Performance:John Moreland
DESCRIPTION:John Moreland started writing when he was ten years old\, the same year his family moved from Kentucky\, to Tulsa\, Oklahoma\, where he still lives today. He turns 30 this year\, and he’s been slinging songs for more than half his life. He started fronting local punk and hardcore bands in high school. After graduation\, he had an epiphany. “I’d just overexposed myself to punk and hardcore to the point that it just didn’t do anything for me anymore\,” he says. The remedy? He ditched his music for his dad’s: CCR\, Neil Young\, Tom Petty\, Steve Earle. “I think what appealed to me about it was lyrics\,” he says. \"I was 19 in 2004\, and Steve Earle had put out ‘The Revolution Starts Now\,’ and I remember hearing the song ‘Rich Man’s War’ and totally feeling like somebody just punched me in the chest. When John released \"In the Throes\" in June of 2013\, the album didn’t just charm listeners—it stunned them. No Depression declared the collection “isn’t so much songwriting as alchemy with words and music.” MSNBC host Rachel Maddow heard his songs and joined the chorus\, tweeting: “If the American music business made any sense\, guys like John Moreland would be household names.” John's new \"High on Tulsa Heat \"is a triumphant sequel\, pulsing with the sharply drawn imagery and cutting vulnerability that his listeners have come to expect. Opener Micah Schnabel\, lead singer of Two Car Garage\, will kick off the evning with a solo acoustic set.

SUMMARY:Performance:Sweet Water Warblers
DESCRIPTION:Imagine yourself as a bird in flight floating on the waves of a gentle fall breeze. Each sweep and plunge has the power to shake you and somehow still cradles you like the hum of a mother’s lullaby or the high of a southern gospel choir. This dynamic among fierce\, tender\, and strikingly familiar is what you can expect from the highly anticipated ensemble of these three front women and songbirds of the Earthwork Music Collective. Powerful singers and songwriters in their own bands\, Rachael Davis (Shout Sister Shout\, The Rachael Davis Band)\, Lindsay Lou (Lindsay Lou and The Flatbellys\, Time & Luck) and May Erlewine (Seth & May\, May Erlewine\, and The Moonlighters) came together upon a festival organizer’s request for the first time as The Sweet Water Warblers in 2014 at the Hoxeyville Music Festival in Northern Michigan.  After a year of touring\, writing and releasing records independently\, they're reuniting with a handful of co-written and hand selected songs for an intimate show that they’re bringing to the Lower Peninsula’s best acoustic music venues.

SUMMARY:Performance:Dieterle Corn Crib Fundraiser
DESCRIPTION:The Ark\, in conjunction with The RFD Boys\, hosts a fundraiser for the Richard V.A. Dieterle Memorial Bandstand (aka \"Dieterle's Corn Crib\") on Saturday\, November 21\, 2015. The Boys will be joined on stage with The Chenille Sisters\, Raisin Pickers and a host of other musical friends to help fund an entertainment stage on the grounds of the Webster Township Historical Society (WTHS). The WTHS formed in the 1980s to preserve the local history of nearby Webster Township\, and continues to serve as the location for the yearly Webster Fall Festival. Beginning in the early 1990s\, Dick was a fixture at the Festival\, where he volunteered and played with the RFD Boys. At the time of Dick's passing in 2012 many friends and neighbors donated money to the WTHS in his memory\, and these funds are being put toward this entertainment stage. The stage has been designed to look like a corn crib\, which will blend with the other historical buildings on the WTHS grounds as well as speak to Dick's country and bluegrass roots. We hope that this new venue will be a place where music and Dick's memory can live on alongside the traditions of our local heritage.

SUMMARY:Performance:Cowboy Junkies
DESCRIPTION:Rooted in country and blues styles\, the world-famous Cowboy Junkies sound just like what the name suggests: you can identify the band that's playing their languid\, darkly seductive music after hearing just a few notes. Cowboy Junkies are more than 20 years old and going strong\, and they recently finished a cycle of four albums completed over just 18 months. The latest\, \"The Wilderness\,\" sees the band taking the long view without losing their atmospheric bluesy sound. \"These idle tales we need to keep us going\, these tales are for our children\,\" they sing. Writes Fred Thomas of AllMusic: \"Topics like parenthood and getting older come up more than late-twenties existential ennui\, but are addressed with the same lost\, wandering uncertainty that characterized the band's earlier work.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Squeeze Acoustic - \"The At Odds Couple\" - an evening with Difford and Tilbrook
DESCRIPTION:For the first time in the U.S. in almost 20 years\, Squeeze’s Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook will be heading out on the road as a duo with The At Odds Couple tour that will see them present their songs and story in a unique way. Chris Difford’s lyrics and Glenn Tilbrook’s music have prevailed through turbulent times over the past four decades\, from the ever-changing musical landscape to their own internal reshuffles and an acrimonious break-up. \"The At Odds Couple\" will see Glenn and Chris reflecting on their careers\, as part  of Squeeze and as solo artists\, sharing not only the music but also giving an insight in to what makes the two of them tick as a partnership. In addition to performing a selection of hits\, including \"Up The Junction\" and \"Cool For Cats\,\" Chris andGlenn will be dusting down some previously unrecorded songs that were written together back in the band’s infancy but never recorded—\"There are a few corkers in there”—as well as playing tracks from their solo careers. The duo has also been working on new Squeeze material—set for release in October 2015—which will no doubt creep into the set list. Difford’s ying to Tilbrook’s yang\, Glenn’s chalk to Chris’s cheese\, \"The At Odds Couple\" will be in the spotlight and under the microscope like never before as these two talents of the music industry cometogether to present a unique two-man show.

SUMMARY:Performance:Bill Kirchen's Honky Tonk Holiday
DESCRIPTION:Bill Kirchen is an Ann Arbor-bred guitar god\, a Telecaster titan who whirls through a whole gallery of country and rock styles over the course of an evening. After a stint as lead guitarist with Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen\, he's gone on to an acclaimed solo career\, and when he returns to town at the holidays his concerts turn into joyous reunions celebrating the glory days of the Ann Arbor honky-tonk scene\, with special guests often on hand. Some things haven't changed—the Austin American-Statesman recently praised his \"no-nonsense diesel guitar attack\, powered by great booming\, bottom-heavy licks still covered with axle grease.\" But Bill has evolved into a very funny rockabilly and country songwriter as well. This honky-tonk holiday show\, which has often featured special guests\, will get you in the mood for New Year's Eve a few weeks early!

SUMMARY:Performance:Peter Mulvey
DESCRIPTION:To call Peter Mulvey an acoustic singer-songwriter and guitarist just doesn't cover it. He's equally—and tremendously on all counts—gifted as a singer\, writer\, and guitarist. Says the Irish Examiner: \"Peter Mulvey is one of the most accomplished guitarists you're ever likely to hear … utterly original … it is nigh on impossible to explain him to the uninitiated … his intelligent and sometimes complex songs engage both hemispheres of the listener's brain.\" Of his latest\, \"Silver Ladder\,\" Peter says\, After a turbulent stretch in his personal life left him at sea\, Mulvey decided to write his way out of it: “I've been through it. I bet you have too\,” he said\, “but there are times in life when you turn a corner and suddenly everything is simple: let's make some songs\, people! Let's play!”

SUMMARY:Performance:Dick Siegel
DESCRIPTION:Dick Siegel\, the author of such classics as \"Angelo's (Eggs Over Easy\,\" has inspired plenty of songwriters in Michigan and beyond. Recently he's been showing up at next-generation roots events like Hollerfest and fitting right in. Dick is an immensely gifted and versatile composer. Ranging from jump blues and Buddy Holly-style pop to folk balladry and new folk lyricism\, his songs offer all sorts of immediate lyrical and musical pleasures. Dick was named in WDET's list of the most important and influential artists in the history of Detroit\, alongside legends such as John Lee Hooker\, Stevie Wonder\, and Aretha Franklin. \"I'm celebratory—I celebrate life from the huge to the minute\, from the tragic to the hilarious\,\" he explains. In concert\, he expertly steps into the roles of a raconteur\, a confidante\, your best friend\, a prophet\, a comedian\, a pair of eyes on the universe\, and an interpreter of daydreams.

SUMMARY:Performance:BeauSoleil
DESCRIPTION:Over nearly four decades of exploring the panorama of Louisiana music\, BeauSoleil and leader Michael Doucet have re-created a culture and become its ambassadors. They're named not for sunshine but for Joseph Broussard dit Beausoleil\, the leader of the Acadian resistance to British deportation efforts beginning in 1755. You can come to a BeauSoleil concert to party or to experience musical history through the group's mix of Cajun\, zydeco\, country\, blues\, bluegrass\, Tex-Mex\, and Afro-Caribbean sounds! Cajun bands come and go\, but BeauSoleil endures and just keeps getting better. That's because\, in the words of Allen Toussaint\, \"they play music that's honest to the bone.\"\n\nVIP tickets include Gold Circle seating and a Meet & Greet with the band before the show.

It's a bit Grand Ole Opry\, a bit Prairie Home Companion\, and some Christmas classics from today's Nashville troubadour originals. This year's Decembersongs show features New York-to-Nashville transplant Amy Speace\, duo Doug and Telisha Williams of The Wild Ponies\, and songwriter Rod Picott (say PIE-cott)\, whose songs have been recorded by Slaid Cleaves\, Ray Wylie Hubbard\, and Fred Eaglesmith. All three of these artists are denizens of East Nashville\, the trans-Cumberland River neighborhood that's the city's hottest locale for Americana songwriting right now.

SUMMARY:Performance:Over the Rhine
DESCRIPTION:Named for a tough but enduringly creative neighborhood north of downtown Cincinnati\, Over the Rhine is the duo of Linford Detweiler and Karin Bergquist. Their ethereal sounds—dreamy\, sweeping\, highly literate and melancholy—have drawn comparisons to the likes of Cowboy Junkies. Says Leslie Benson of the Dayton City Paper: \"The music of Cincinnati-based folk/roots band Over the Rhine seeps into you with a rich hunger—each note a separate\, glimmering cloud-diamond.\" And someone once described OTR\"s music as a mash-up of spirituality\, whimsy and sensuality (\"thank you\, thank you\, thank you\,\" they say). If you've never heard Over the Rhine\, this is a great time to check them out—their December shows draw on their two superb holiday albums\, which bring renewal and a sense of the season to all.

SUMMARY:Performance:Iris DeMent
DESCRIPTION:The youngest of 14 children\, Iris DeMent was born in Paragould\, Arkansas\, and moved to California with her devoutly religious family when she was three. As a teenager she absorbed the country music of Loretta Lynn\, Merle Haggard\, and Johnny Cash\, as well as the folk classics of Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell. Her 1992 debut album\, \"Infamous Angel\,\" distilled these influences into a poetic yet down-to-earth songwriting style. With a heartfelt\, homespun voice that listeners recognize instantly\, Iris released some of the most powerful roots albums of the 1990s with the beautifully sparse \"My Life\" and the harder-edged \"The Way I Should.\" In 2012\, after a long creative silence\, Iris returned with \"Sing the Delta\,\" which the Boston Globe called \"a work of rare\, unvarnished grace and power.\" She comes to Michigan with a brand- new album\, \"The Trackless Woods.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Griffin House
DESCRIPTION:Ohio-born\, Nashville-based songwriter Griffin House merges irresistible pop-rock hooks with moody Americana shades and an ability to boil his experiences down to sparse songs. Influenced by a line of artists running from Woody Guthrie to Wilco\, Griffin developed a distinctive style marked by passionate melodies and layers of ambient guitar. His breakthrough album\, \"Flying Upside Down\,\" was recorded with members of Tom Petty's Heartbreakers and appeared in 2007 to wide acclaim. His intelligent and heartfelt lyrics and melodies in such songs as “The Guy Who Says Goodbye to You Is Out of His Mind” and “Better Than Love” have garnered commercial and critical acclaim alike. From being featured on the CBS Sunday Morning Show\, to touring with the likes of John Mellencamp and the Cranberries\, Griffin House opened for Toad the Wet Sprocket last summer at The Ark and continues to gain national recognition—and to go deeper with his songwriting.

SUMMARY:Performance:Delbert McClinton
DESCRIPTION:Delbert McClinton grew up singing and playing in the gutbucket clubs of Fort Worth\, and in a sense he's never left. He still has a voice that will roar through the noise of a barroom or through any kind of mental clutter you might bring to one of his concerts. Delbert and his band backed the absolute royalty of deep blues as they came through town—Jimmy Reed\, Sonny Boy Williamson\, Bobby \"Blue\" Bland\, and the incomparable Howlin' Wolf—and all that he saw and heard\, he absorbed and passes along in his own music. (He gave John Lennon some pointers on the harmonica\, to boot.) Delbert hasn't slowed down a bit! He's still offering raw\, passionate American honky-tonk singing at its best. Delbert's December shows have become something of an Ark tradition\, so don't delay on getting tickets! Delbert's latest release\, \"Blind\, Crippled and Crazy\,\" reunites him with fellow Texas bluesman Glen Clark.

DESCRIPTION:Ypsilanti songwriter Matt Jones brings about a historic tone in his writing\, exploring the things that we can't get away from\, the sins of the past\, those things and decisions that were made that are going to be paid for as long as there are people and time to pay. He is able to take songs that are as powerful and moving played solo or fully orchestrated and present them in a manner whose time somehow seems blindingly urgent and yet drawn from decades past. On his debut solo release EP \"Right to Arms\" (2005)\, Matt set the tone for all future releases with his darkly playful instrumentation and brutally honest lyricism.  Matt describes his new album\, \"The Deep Enders\,\" as \"a Civil War–spun sprawler of an album I've been making since I picked up an instrument.\" Tonight's special guest is Frank Allison!

SUMMARY:Performance:Jorma Kaukonen
DESCRIPTION:Jorma Kaukonen is one of the most important guitarists of our time with a body of work that has grown over four decades now. His brilliant finger-picked fretwork and songwriting\, blending rock\, blues\, folk and country influences\, helped make stars out of Jefferson Airplane and its equally legendary (and still active) spinoff band Hot Tuna. Now\, he says\, \"I find myself living a simple life with my music.\" His shows are steeped in acoustic country and blues roots\, and they have a quiet mastery that's really something to see. Jorma has been very active in the studio\, and his new Red House–label solo album\, \"Ain't in No Hurry\,\" features a lost Woody Guthrie lyric set to music by Jorma and producer Larry Campbell as well as a killer version of the standard \"Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:The Understorey
DESCRIPTION:The soulful\, fun\, and seemingly effortless performances of The Understorey’s Jess McCumons will always pull you in for more. Taking hints\, inspiration\, and style from Aretha Franklin\, Alison Krauss\, Brandi Carlile\, and Janis Joplin (just to name a few)\, and leaning as well on the talents of husband Matt McCumons\, this Ann Arbor band continues to push out of musical categories and boundaries by incorporating folk\, rock\, gospel\, blues\, and jazz into their original tracks.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Jill Jack Birthday Bash
DESCRIPTION:Jill Jack’s annual birthday bash has become a New Year's tradition at The Ark! Jill's magical connection to her audience is the result of her generous artistry. By combining her gifts as a conceptual visionary with a warm gathering of musical influences\, Jill touches that secret heart of ours with her melodies and lyrics. In her hometown of Detroit\, Jill needs no further explanation. She’s been lauded in equal measure to her talents: Since 1997 she’s won dozens of Detroit Music Awards in every conceivable category that applies to a singer-songwriter. Jill extends the tradition of the confessional (i.e. achingly open\, unafraid of intimacy) singer-songwriter\, and is proud of that style and its continuation. You get all of Jill Jack in a performance—her blend of folk and rock traditions\, her open humor. Jill keeps little of her process away from her audience\; each show is about opening a window and shining a light into her songwriting\, leading inevitably to the intense relationship with her fans. Her career is founded on folk’s best idea—that there’s a shared knowing between artist and audience\, a conversation that flows both ways during a show.

SUMMARY:Performance:Catie Curtis
DESCRIPTION:Los Angeles songwriter Maia Sharp offers a potpourri of pop\, country and rock with hints of jazz\, mixing banjos and mandolins with cellos and violas. If you're looking for the songwriter whom other songwriters are listening to these days\, Maia's near the top of the list. The long list of artists who have recorded her songs includes Bonnie Raitt\, The Dixie Chicks\, Art Garfunkel\, Edwin McCain\, Trisha Yearwood\, Amanda Marshall\, David Wilcox\, Paul Carrack\, Cher\, Kathy Mattea\, and Mindy Smith -- to name a few. Another fan is Art Garfunkel\, who sums up Sharp's appeal this way: \"In the tradition of great female artists\, Karla Bonoff\, Christine McVie\, Shawn Colvin\, Sarah McLachlan--now enter Maia Sharp.\" Maia comes to Michigan with a new album\, \"The Dash Between the Dates.\" The songwriting of Catie Curtis combines insightful lyrics with addictive melodies and high energy. Catie's recordings and impressive touring career in the U.S. and Europe have earned her rave reviews and wide recognition. Her songs have been featured on numerous television programs and in independent films. Catie\, a former Ann Arborite\, says of her latest album\, \"Flying Drea\,\" that it's \"my current favorite among my 14 recordings! ... It sounds dreamy and emotional\, and\, I think\, beautiful. Kristen Hall (singer/songwriter and founding member of the country band Sugarland) co-wrote most of the songs with me\, produced the recording\, and added tons of great harmonies.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:San Fermin
DESCRIPTION:NPR called Brooklyn-based San Fermin's 2013 debut album \"a nearly hourlong feast of chamber pop storytelling.\" Since then\, the band has grown\, not only artistically but in terms of sheer size: they're an eight-piece touring group\, with former Ann Arborite Charlene Kaye as lead vocalist. The band reflects the vision of classically trained composer and leader Ellis Ludwig-Leone\, who found himself touring with a band and\, he says\, \"ripped these holes in the middle of ... existing songs and added some new ones.\" The result was a new album\, \"Jackrabbit\,\" that's earning raves for its combination complicated compositional maneuvers\, grandiose pop eruptions\, and gritty rock-band freedom. At once lived-in and sophisticated\, the big\, ambitious Baroque pop music of San Fermin feels a lot like real life—charmed\, challenging\, and in the end compulsory.

DESCRIPTION:John Primer followed the great blues highway and moved to Chicago from his hometown of Camden\, Mississippi\, in 1963. Soon he was rocking such West Side clubs as The Place\, The Bow Tie\, and Lover's Lounge. Over the years he was a member of the house band at the South Side's legendary Theresa's club\, of Willie Dixon's Chicago All-Stars\, and\, until 1995\, of Magic Slim & the Teardrops. That year he released his Atlantic Records debut\, \"The Real Deal\,\" and his nine albums since then have been classics of traditionalist blues phrasing and lightning-fast slide guitar. A master storyteller and songwriter\, he has an endless repertoire and a sound that's at once very familiar and pretty hard to find these days. John is the real deal in Chicago blues!

SUMMARY:Performance:Dan Bern
DESCRIPTION:Iowa-born\, Santa Monica–based singer-songwriter Dan Bern is a modern-day Lenny Bruce: topical\, intelligent\, and totally unpredictable. Says the Baltimore Sun: \"He's a folky troubadour with a rock-and-roll heart and the all-too-rare skill of combining humor and intelligence.\" Dan tends to alternate between documenting the zeitgeist and writing about the personal concerns with which we all grapple\, and he's overflowing with songs: his full-length albums often alternate with EPs that offer fascinating windows on his soul (his concerts are a good place to pick those up). Dan Bern's songs are direct\, often very amusing\, and always on target musically. He's got a strong surrealistic streak\, a major strand of Dylan's influence\, and a great storyteller's eye. Come by and pick up a copy of Dan's new novel\, \"10\,000 Crappy Songs & Other Tales of Detection\,\" which includes 22 non-crappy songs!

SUMMARY:Performance:Justin Roberts & The Not Ready For Naptime Players
DESCRIPTION:Justin Roberts has become an Ark family favorite! Justin and his band\, the Not Ready for Naptime Players\, dish out intelligent and whimsically rocking music for kids and their parents. Roberts started out in the Minneapolis indie rock band Pimentos for Gus\, which inspired a devoted but small following. So Roberts decided to moonlight (during the day) as a Montessori preschool teacher. Soon he began writing songs for a new generation of fans: his students. He was soon being compared to everyone from Elvis Costello to Fountains of Wayne and Nick Lowe. It was clear that Justin had figured out the elusive trick of appealing to both kids and adults. Kiddie mosh pits broke out\, word spread\, and shows started selling out—at renowned venues like New York's Symphony Space and even Lollapalooza. Time Out NY Kids named Justin's \"Meltdown\" CD to its list of the best children's music of the last 30 years\, and he comes to town with a new children's book\, \"Henry Hopendower and Other Truly Impossible Things.\" Time to hit the playground!

SUMMARY:Performance:Shawn Colvin
DESCRIPTION:On her new album\, \"Uncovered\,\" acclaimed singer-songwriter Shawn Colvin shines with sensitivity\, casting new light on an exquisitely curated collection of songs from some of the most admired writers in popular music history. \"Uncovered\"'s 12 tunes include songs by Bruce Springsteen\, Paul Simon\, Tom Waits\, Stevie Wonder\, Robbie Robertson\, and Graham Nash to name a few\, but in their selection and delivery\, they are pure Shawn Colvin. As Shawn says: \"Unless a song moves you\, it doesn't matter what you do with it.\" Born in Vermilion\, South Dakota\, and raised in part in Illinois and Ontario\, Shawn was already a well-traveled and seasoned performer by the time she won her first Grammy for Best Contemporary Folk Album with her debut\, \"Steady On\,\" in 1989. In the decades since\, Shawn has released a string of superlative albums and established an enduring reputation as one of America’s great live performers. Her lasting appeal is due in part to her willingness to lay herself bare coupled with a dry wit. \"The title 'Uncovered' has a few meanings\,\" Shawn explains. \"It means uncovering as in an excavation\, and uncovered in the sense of vulnerability. This album was made very spontaneously\, we didn't over-think or overdub it. One of my friends said to me\, 'You sound so exposed on this record!' and I think that's the thematic key\, vulnerability.\"\n\nDinner & Show package ($65) available: Includes dinner at Café Felix (Prix Fixe Menu with an Amuse-Bouche to start followed by three different options of appetizers and three options of entrees) and seating held at The Ark for the show.

SUMMARY:Performance:Albert Cummings
DESCRIPTION:Breaking every cliche associated with the blues while producing some of the most powerful music of the 21st century comes naturally to Albert Cummings. In his late teens he encountered the early recordings of Stevie Ray Vaughan and was floored by the virtuosity. While in college in 1987 he saw Vaughan perform\, and he returned to the guitar with a new outlook and resolve. Soon the whiz-kid carpenter was on the Northeast blues circuit with his band\, Swamp Yankee. In 2000 Albert released his debut recording\, \"The Long Way.\" Bluesprint magazine said it was “a barrage of guitar pyrotechnics that calls to mind a grand mix of the styles of past masters like Albert King\, Freddie King\, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimi Hendrix.” That in turn opened up an opportunity for him to work with Double Trouble\, the late Vaughan’s rhythm section. On his Blind Pig label debut\, \"True to Yourself\,\" released in 2004\, Cummings was again joined by bassist Tommy Shannon. Guitar One exclaimed: “He attacks his axe with unbridled ferocity and deep soulfulness … his depth and expression are matched only by his terrifying technique and tone.” Albert Cummings is a man of his times and the man for the times. He has built his own musical edifice that expresses his thoughts and dreams. It is a vision that alternately excites and soothes while also clearly providing a glimpse of his unlimited future. The best is yet to come.

SUMMARY:Performance:Everyone Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:Everyone Orchestra conductor Matt Butler has been leading a rotating cast of accredited musicians through full-length shows that are entirely improvised since 2001\, after touring with the rock band Jambay. In 2012\, Butler gathered particularly well-known musicians from bands like Phish and Moe. and recorded Everyone Orchestra’s first studio album\, \"Brooklyn Sessions\" (2012)\, itself largely improvised. “The experience of playing with different musicians\, improvising every night\, and getting the crowd involved in ways that they can’t be at a regular show has provided an unparalleled live music experience\,” Matt says. Tuning in to his energy\, the band and audience utilize The Conductor as their pivot to the set mood of each passing jam as he communicates with the musicians using hand signs\, whiteboard\, and assorted mime suggestions. The list of Everyone Orchestra participants is an intercontinental group including members of The Grateful Dead\, Phish\, Furthur\,  Ratdog\, Trey Anastasio Band\, Gov’t Mule\, String Cheese Incident\, moe.\, the Allman Brothers Band (including Oteil Burbridge)\, Yonder Mountain String Band\, The New Mastersounds\, Big Gigantic\, The Punch Brothers\, Dumpstaphunk\, Galactic\, Dirty Dozen Brass Band\, Railroad Earth\, Thievery Corporation\, Lettuce\, Infamous Stringdusters\, Leftover Salmon\, The Flecktones\, Club d’Elf\, ALO\, Tea Leaf Green\, Tuvan throat singers\, live painters\, dancers\, chanters\, choirs\, hula hoopers\, firespinners\, jugglers\, stiltwalkers\, storytellers\, a presidential candidate\, and hundreds of others. Marching into uncharted territory\, The Everyone Orchestra balances the challenges of live group improvisation with triumphant tension and release conduits of music that head deep into the soul.

SUMMARY:Performance:Suzanne Westenhoefer
DESCRIPTION:No one ever accused Suzanne Westenhoefer of being subtle. After 25 years of groundbreaking\, stereotype-shattering and brutally honest comedy\, she’s not about to start pulling punches now. The kid from Amish country who began her comedy career on a dare is celebrating a quarter-century of out\, open\, no-holds-barred comedy. Suzanne tells the truth. The truth is life is funny\, especially when it’s fermented in Suzanne’s mind. That’s why she could never be in the closet\, making her a trailblazer when she started doing stand-up in the 1990s. She was the first openly lesbian comedian with an HBO Special and the first openly lesbian comedian on “Late Night with David Letterman.” From “OMG\, a lesbian has long hair and wears make up” to “I went to Helen and Jane’s wedding last weekend\,” that’s how far we’ve come in the 25 years Suzanne has been telling her truth to audiences all over the world. Some of that is certainly thanks to her candor\, courage and charisma. Suzanne never does the same show twice. She can’t. She doesn’t write anything down. She charges boldly onto the stage\, and what happens is always a mystery and a delight. Enjoy a wild night of comedy at The Ark!

SUMMARY:Performance:David Mayfield
DESCRIPTION:If you’ve seen David Mayfield perform with The Avett Brothers\, Mumford & Sons\, or Jessica Lea Mayfield\, or at Bonnaroo (or at The Ark)—or as MC at the Ann Arbor Folk Festival—you’ve caught the charisma\, the heart\, and the comedy\, and you're likely ready for more. With eclectic\, cinematic songs that stir up images of the old West and urban cityscapes\, the singer-songwriter-bandleader's latest release\, \"Good Man Down\,\" takes chances musically and delves into adventurous production while still tapping into bluegrass roots. David's live shows are lively and sometimes comical. He grew up playing bass and touring with his family’s bluegrass band. As a teenager he established himself as a hot picker\, collecting national awards for his dexterity on guitar and mandolin. Conscious of being not just a musician\, but an entertainer—something his father instilled in him in the family band—he certainly makes an impression live. But it’s the strength of his songwriting and musicianship\, combined with that charm and personality\, that keep audiences coming back again and again.

SUMMARY:Performance:David Ramirez
DESCRIPTION:The life of the traveling songwriter certainly seems romantic. But as Austinite David Ramirez notched mile number 260\,000 traveled in his 2006 Kia Rio\, the novelty began to wear off. \"I've learned a lot from being alone and isolated\,\" says David\, who until recently toured completely by himself\, without a band\, manager or anyone else for company. \"Yes\, it's romantic in a way. But it has also been kind of rough on my head and my heart. After a while it made it difficult to connect with people on a personal level when I got home.\" It's taken three years since that realization\, but with his new album\, \"Fables\,\" David shows personal growth both as a musician and as a man. That newfound maturity and clarity translated into a new approach in the studio as David traveled to Seattle to work with friend and producer Noah Gundersen\, who produced the album. \"Fables\" is a sparse\, poignant set of songs crafted around David's starkly beautiful baritone\, which The New York Times once  described as full of \"haggard loneliness.\" Songwriter Lucette\, who has toured with Sturgill Simpson and Joe Ely\, is tonight's special guest.

DESCRIPTION:Fronted by Ireland’s piano accordion maestro\, described by New York’s Irish Voice as “in league with the best piano accordionists in the world\,” and with three of Ireland’s finest musicians in tow\, The Alan Kelly Gang have been taking their audiences by storm. Performing powerful instrumentals and beautifully arranged songs\, skillfully executed and soulfully delivered\, their live performances have been described by Timber and Steel as “a true collective of musicians… their mastery of their respective instruments—sublime.\" Ireland is just the starting point for the Alan Kelly Gang as they catapult themselves and their audiences through the repertoire of the Celts\, taking influence from regions including Ireland\, Brittany\, Asturias and America and combining these with original compositions that stem from a deep traditional understanding. Here\, innovation meets sensitivity as the four musicians push the conventional boundaries of traditional music yet remain sympathetic to its past\, present and future\, infecting the listener with a sense of musical delight—magical\, joyous and uplifting!

DESCRIPTION:Sideline is a powerful group of seasoned bluegrass pros that has been getting busier and busier since this \"side project\" became a main gig for its members. Sideline consists of Steve Dilling (banjo)\, Skip Cherryholmes (guitar)\, Jason Moore (bass)\, Brian Aldridge (mandolin)\, and Nathan Aldridge (fiddle). As the name suggests\, Sideline intended to be a sometime band\, but the success of their debut album made Sideline a main line. Sideline captures much of what was great about bluegrass in the 1980s and early 1990s. Serving up what was contemporary bluegrass thirty years ago. they sound traditional in 2015. Sideline's driving bluegrass with killer harmonies and propulsive rhythm\, well-chosen blend of new and old material\, and especially the focus being an equal ensemble takes the listener right back in time to when these guys were jamming in the campground.

SUMMARY:Performance:Dave Alvin & Phil Alvin w/The Guilty Ones
DESCRIPTION:“Lost time is not found again.” This ancient proverb is at the heart of Blasters brother duo Dave Alvin and Phil Alvin’s long\, tumultuous relationship.  However\, in Dave’s own words\, “Sometimes Fate\, or God or the Universe\, gives you a rare chance to prove an old saying is wrong.” The brothers’ new album\, appropriately titled \"Lost Time\" does just that. Over the album's 12 tracks\, Dave and Phil pay homage to a number of artists and songs that had an early\, formative influence.  Everyone from Lead Belly to James Brown is represented\, but the figure who looms largest on the album\, and in the brothers’ own musical journey\, is Big Joe Turner. The Alvins met Big Joe as teenagers\, and he would mentor them for the remainder of his life.  They remain his humble students\, and they have cut four Big Joe songs for \"Lost Time.\" If their Grammy-nominated 2014 album \"Common Ground\" was the sound of a partnership rekindled\, \"Lost Time: is a four-alarm fire.  Dave’s guitar work slithers and stings as never before\, and Phil’s feral howl cuts to the core. This is the first Ark show by either Alvin since they began creating this profound reflection on their musical roots. Massachusetts singer-songriter Sarah Borges\, who describes her shows as \"a lot of loud guitars and loud singing\,\" is special guest.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Paul Thorn Band
DESCRIPTION:Paul Thorn has had quite a life! He got into the ring with Roberto \"Hands of Steel\" Duran on national television. (Both ended up at Atlantic City Medical Center\, and Paul reaped a great song\, \"I'd Rather Be a Hammer Than a Nail.\") He's the son of a Pentecostal preacher who rode the tent-revival circuit. He paints. He had his first singing gig at age three. He comes from Tupelo\, Mississippi\, and absorbed the power of gospel music just like another famous native of that town. And he ties it all together in original songs\, masterpieces of gutbucket storytelling country and soul with a fearless confessional streak (and often very funny). Paul’s new album\, Too Blessed To Be Stressed\, stakes out new territory for the popular roots-rock songwriter and performer. “In the past\, I’ve told stories that were mostly inspired by my own life\,” Paul says. “This time\, I’ve written ten songs that express more universal truths\, and I’ve done it with a purpose: to make people feel good.” The title track borrows its tag from a familiar saying among the members of the African American Baptist churches Paul frequented in his childhood. “I’d ask\, ‘How you doin’\, sister?’ And what I’d often hear back was\, ‘I’m too blessed to be stressed.’” Canadian alternative country and folk band The Brothers Landreth\, whose debut release just won the Juno award for Best Roots Album of the year\, are tonight's openers.

DESCRIPTION:Rose Cousins just might be Nova Scotia's answer to Iris DeMent\, or even to Kate Wolf. Says Lifestyle Nova Scotia: \"Cousins writes songs strong on story\, melody\, and honest observations ... that demand an unaffected but beautiful voice.\" Her 2012 album \"We Have Made a Spark\" took home a Canadian Juno Award along with many other awards\, including a spot on NPR’s Top 10 Americana & Folk Albums list. That album was recorded in Boston\, where Rose spends part of her time\, and where she's found strong support from the city's vibrant songwriting community. Rooted in authenticity and conviction of voice\, the songs of Rose Cousins make you feel as though she sings for you\, about your life. “We develop patterns that keep us from moving forward\,\" Rose says. \"It takes a deep breath and a bucket of courage to face the uncomfortable\, painful things we work so hard to avoid. Reward comes from recognizing the obstacle exists and pushing through fear.\" Rose appears on the Saturday night show at the 2016 Ann Arbor Folk Festival.

SUMMARY:Performance:California Guitar Trio
DESCRIPTION:The California Guitar Trio plays progressive rock\, surf music\, jazz\, blues\, country\, probably the definitive version of \"Bohemian Rhapsody\,\" and some traditional North African and Asian sounds for good measure. And did you hear them at the Ann Arbor Folk Festival a few years ago\, playing the last movement of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony\, minus the voices but with pretty much everything else intact?  Like most Californians\, the three members of the California Guitar Trio all come from someplace else: Bert Lams is Belgian\, Hideyo Moriya is from Japan (where the band has a strong following)\, and Paul Richards is from Salt Lake City. All three felt the call to push themselves to the limit by enrolling in Robert Fripp’s challenging Guitar Craft courses\, where they first met in 1987. They went on to tour together as part of Fripp’s League of Crafty Guitarists before forming The California Guitar Trio in Los Angeles four years later. The CGT is a melding of diverse talents unlike anything you've heard before\, and one you can't afford to miss!

SUMMARY:Performance:Honeyhoney
DESCRIPTION:HONEYHONEY was formed in 2006 by musician Benjamin Jaffe and model and actress (and Cleveland native) Suzanne Santo. They met at a costume party\, were signed to a record deal\, and released their first album\, \"First Rodeo\,\" in 2008. HONEYHONEY has broken through with their third album\, \"3\,\" produced by Dave Cobb and released in June of 2015 on the legendary folk label Rounder. The album inspired an American Songwriter to enthuse: \"With a singer-songwriter that exudes the magnetic passion and swaggering star power of Santo\, this is a group whose time has come.\" Paste has described HONEYHONEY's style as \"the common pop thread between alt.country\, spaghetti western soundtracks and swampy blues\,\" and Glide found that the duo \"deftly mixes elements of folk\, soul\, country\, pop\, and rock.\" Roots/laidback-rock songwriter Ryan Joseph Anderson opens.

SUMMARY:Performance:Star & Micey
DESCRIPTION:Tearing up the lost highway from Oxford\, Mississippi's Sweet Tea Studios comes the \"I Can't Wait\" EP\, the sophomore offering from Memphis’s folk pop quartet Star & Micey! Produced by Dennis Herring (Elvis Costello\, Counting Crows\, Buddy Guy) and released through the Ardent Music label\, the new EP captures the band's raw live spirit while carefully preserving the honesty of a well-crafted work of art.

Upbeat and alive. They made me smile big time.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Darlingside
DESCRIPTION:SOLD OUT\n\nWith four distinct voices clustered around a single microphone\, Darlingside effortlessly draws audiences into their lush musical world. David Fricke of Rolling Stone describes them as “a quartet with a rich line in acoustic textures and chamber-rock dynamics.” The band’s sound\, with classical strings\, tight vocal arrangements\, bluegrass and rock instrumentation\, and smart lyricism\, is the product of complete collaboration among the four close friends. The group has no frontman\; instead\, lead vocals are traded from moment to moment\, and each song features a new combination of instruments and textures\, pulling heavily from folk\, retro-pop\, barbershop\, and chamber music. The music Darlingside plays is serious\, cinematic\, and deeply moving. Darlingside has recently been the subject of features on NPR's World Cafe and in Paste magazine\, and their most recent local show is the 2016 Ann Arbor Folk Festival appearance in January. Songwriter and harmonica player P.M. Buys is special guest.

SUMMARY:Performance:Jack & Kitty
DESCRIPTION:Jack and Kitty have been called \"one of the most entertaining acoustic groups in the Midwest\" by the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. Kitty has a Jamaican uncle named Bunny. Jack's babysitter was Tiny Tim. So it was inevitable the two would meet at an arts high school\, fall in love and spend the rest of their lives making music and art together. Maybe we should explain. Kitty's uncle is Bunny Wailer—you know\, of Bob Marley and the Wailers fame? So music is literally in her blood. She grew up listening to a healthy blend of reggae\, rap\, and R&B. At a young age Jack discovered his vaudevillian great grandfather's phonograph record collection and spent his childhood listening to cats like Bing Crosby\, Al Jolson\, and Rudy Vallee. As fate would have it\, oddball ukulele legend Tiny Tim moved in next door to the Norton household and somehow became Jack's babysitter. Seriously. That rich musical stew forms the blend of Jack and Kitty's Emmy Award winning artistic approach. It's organic and acoustic. It's laid-back with positive vibes that appeal to all ages. The \"all ages appeal\" comes from the years Jack and Kitty spent as co-creators and co-stars of the hit preschool kids' television series \"The Zinghoppers Show\,\" which currently airs on over 150 PBS member stations nationwide and has been nominated for six Emmy Awards. An average of five million families see Jack and Kitty every day—time to come see them in person!

SUMMARY:Performance:Kathy Mattea
DESCRIPTION:West Virginia-born Kathy Mattea (muh-TAY-a) has been one of country's top-level stars over the last three decades\, building bridges to Nashville's serious songwriting community with such hits as Tim O'Brien's \"Untold Stories.\" She has \"18 Wheels and a Dozen Roses\" and a few other great American anthems to her name\, but after the Sago mine disaster of 2006 she began to think about something new—an album of songs about her native coal country. \"Coal\" was an extraordinary personal statement from an artist of Kathy's stature\, and she's followed it up with more music rooted in her native Appalachia\, including the bluegrass-oriented \"Calling Me Home.\" Kathy Mattea has always been recognized as one of country's classiest acts\, and she puts on a live show matched by few others in the business. Tonight's \"acoustic living room\" show offers a rare chance for an up-close encounter with an icon of country music.

SUMMARY:Performance:Matuto
DESCRIPTION:In Brazil\, \"Matuto\" is slang for country boy\, but this NYC-based group of urbanized virtuosos is emerging as one of the world’s hottest international touring acts. Recently awarded the title of American Musical Ambassadors by the U.S. State Department\, Matuto has been hailed as \"seductively cross cultural\" by the Chicago Tribune\, and praised by the Sun-Times as \"the height of world music sophistication.” Matuto’s songs can sway hips just as easily as spark insights. On stage\, their instruments swirl together\, whirling around the tension at the core of Matuto’s music: the push and pull between the Latin syncopations of Brazilian music and the folk traditions of the American South. It’s bluegrass meets Brazil!

DESCRIPTION:Patty Larkin has redefined folk music with her inventive guitar wizardry and uncompromsing lyrics and vocals. Guitar World calls her music \"genre-stretching\, string-popping alterna-folk.\" As an instrumentalist\, she skillfully and effortlessly mixes rock\, folk\, blues\, Celtic\, and funk styles. She is a guitar sorceress who has honed a reputation as a musician’s musician\, and she occupies a unique space where Beck meets Richard Thompson\, where Beth Orton intersects with Guy Clark\, where Me'Shell NdegéOcello fuses with Bob Dylan. It'd be hard to think of a better place than The Ark to appreciate the full measure of this remarkable musician's artistry! Patty comes to Michigan with a brand-new release\, \"Still Green.\" This collection of new songs chronicles Patty's search for relief\, respite and solace during a time when she lost both of her parents\, and witnessed a sister suffer a serious health issue.

SUMMARY:Performance:Birds of Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Birds of Chicago\, the collective centered around Allison Russell and JT Nero\, reassert the simple notion—radical in these times—that beautiful words and music can still tap deep veins of emotion. With stark\, elemental imagery that feels like scripture\, or a lost folk song recovered\, The Birds draw heavily on the gospel tradition\, and the music feels like a new\, secular gospel of sorts. For Birds of Chicago\, every word counts. Every note counts. No gold-dusting\, no filler. Music is the good news and Real Midnight\, the band’s poignant new Joe Henry–produced album\, throbs with an urgency that feels quietly seismic. On Real Midnight\, Birds of Chicago alternate moody rock swagger with the ghostliest of soundscapes. The album is a melancholy—but never shoe-gazing—suite\, raw and soul-rich. Birds of Chicago have developed a fervent following\, touring 200 nights a year since their formation in late 2012.  For these Birds\, singing for a room full of new people\, hearts wide open\, keeps off the cold and chases off the shadows.

DESCRIPTION:Before there were terms like \"roots rock\,\" there were the Subdudes and their acoustic accordion-flavored (and tambourine-spiked) musical brew that came straight out of the warmth and soul of their native New Orleans. The band came together at the famed Tipitina's club in 1987 and took their awesomely funky blues-rock on the road for ten years\, winning fans everywhere. The Subdudes\, noted the All Music Guide's Tammy La Gorce\, \"aren't just stellar musicians of the swampy jazz-rock-blues New Orleans persuasion\, as they've come to be known. They're also a group of guys whose working-class roots run as definitively\, and maybe as deeply\, as Bruce Springsteen's.\" The Subdudes sound has persisted through several changes of personnel\, and now they're back\, with Steve Amedée on tambourine\, making a joyful noise in the world's funkiest city and beyond.Come back soon for more info!

SUMMARY:Performance:Lucinda Williams w/sg Buick 6
DESCRIPTION:SOLD OUT\n\nLucinda Williams was named America's best songwriter by Time\, and though plenty of people would disagree\, few would dismiss the assertion out of hand. Beginning with a couple of albums of straight Texas blues in the late 1970s\, Lucinda has built an unparalleled catalogue of great songs over a career now in its fourth decade. She's done searing rock confessionals\, put herself out there with introspective folk to match the best of them\, hit the common denominator of commercial country with \"Passionate Kisses\" and some terrific storytelling songs\, delved into R&B and gospel\, made straight blues that bears comparison with Janis Joplin—and she was really Americana before there was such a category. Her music has been called \"Gothic\,\" and \"darkly damaged\,\" but there's a cathartic confessional quality to it that in the end is deeply positive and inspiring. Lucinda comes to Michigan with an acclaimed new release\, \"The Ghosts of Highway 20\,\" of which she says\, \"It is literally a map of my life in a lot of ways. We were driving between shows and between cities\, and I kept seeing things that brought me back to times and places in my past. Like when we played in Macon\, Georgia\, a place I lived when I was five or six years old\, I got out of the bus and I was transported back to when I saw this street singer\, Blind Pearly Brown. It was like nothing had changed. All these things started percolating in my brain\, and the songs just came.” Delta blues trio Buick 6 is special guest.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Everyone Hates Politics: How the Legacy of the USSR Influences the Political Engagement of LGBT Citizens in Contemporary Russia
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Alex Kondakov will offer some explanations for the low rate of participation by lesbians and gay men in conventional political activity in Russia (such as rallies\, petitioning\, and LGBT-pride parades). Drawing on his previous work on (homo)sexual citizenship after the fall of the USSR\, and using some insights from urban studies and queer theory\, he analyzes how power was employed in the USSR from the very beginning in order to control citizens in every aspect of their lives. Prof. Kondakov emphasizes three formative steps in this process:  making all spaces public\, imposing censorship on the public sphere\, and splitting the public sphere into an official zone and an unacknowledged\, but tolerated\, off-shoot. One result was to make available to Soviet queers an alternative\, unrecognized public sphere in the USSR which they could inhabit\, along with certain urban spaces which they could claim for their own use\, despite the law against consensual sexual relations between men and despite the medicalization of female homosexuality. These urban spaces gave rise to a peculiar political culture that informs the current engagement of LGBT people in Russian grassroots politics. The Soviet past thus determines in many senses both the current government’s LGBT policy and Russian citizens’ LGBT politics.\n \nAlexander Kondakov is Assistant Professor (European University at St. Petersburg\, Russia)\, Researcher (Centre for Independent Social Research\, St. Petersburg\, Russia) and Deputy Editor-in-Chief for the Journal of Social Policy Studies (Higher School of Economics\, Moscow). He is the author of various international publications on homosexuality\, human rights organizations\, and citizenship in Russia. His research interests include the sociology of human rights\, social citizenship\, and social movements.\n\nThis talk is presented by IRWG's Lesbian-Gay-Queer Research Initiative (LGQRI).\n\nCosponsored by the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies (CREES) and Slavic Languages and Literatures.

SUMMARY:Performance:Benefit for the Brad Phillips Family
DESCRIPTION: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. \n\nBrad 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. \n\nBrad 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!

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Guynecology: Men\, Medical Knowledge\, and Reproduction
DESCRIPTION:Medical researchers have been making headlines with a surprising series of findings about men and reproduction. It turns out that the health status of men’s bodies prior to conception can directly affect the health of their children. As a result\, many of the warnings that women receive about pregnancy - regarding their age and watching what they eat\, drink\, and smoke - also apply to men during the three months that sperm develops inside their bodies. The average American man does not know any of this because basic medical knowledge about the effects of men’s bodily health on reproductive outcomes has only recently begun to be produced. This lack of knowledge is only made more glaring when one thinks of the enormous efforts to understand and treat women’s reproductive bodies over the past 150 years. This begs the question: Why did it take so long for researchers to begin asking basic questions about how men matter for reproduction?\n\nRene Almeling is Associate Professor of Sociology and Public Health at Yale University with her area of interests in gender and medicine. Using a range of historical\, qualitative\, and quantitative methods\, Rene examines questions about how biological bodies and cultural norms interact to influence scientific knowledge\, medical markets\, and individual experiences. Her first book\, Sex Cells: The Medical Market for Eggs and Sperm (University of California Press\, 2011)\, received awards from the American Sociological Association and the American Anthropological Association. In 2013\, she received the Arthur Greer Memorial Prize for Outstanding Scholarly Research at Yale.\n\nThis talk is presented by IRWG's Feminist Science Studies Program.

SUMMARY:Performance:Penny and Sparrow
DESCRIPTION:Penny and Sparrow are Andy Baxter and Kyle Jahnke\, from the heart of Texas.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Oh Hellos
DESCRIPTION:The Oh Hellos began in a cluttered bedroom\, where siblings Maggie and Tyler Heath (born and raised in southern Texas) recorded their self-titled EP in 2011. In the fall of 2012\, the sibling duo released their debut full-length record\, \"Through the Deep\, Dark Valley\,\" which they wrote\, recorded\, produced\, mixed\, and mastered themselves. Their second full-length album\, \"Dear Wormwood\,\" is a collection of songs inspired in part by C.S. Lewis's The Screwtape Letters and Patrick Rothfuss's The Name of the Wind\, mythology\, folklore\, and apocalyptic literature. The album tells the story of a protagonist trapped in an abusive relationship\, by way of letters written to the antagonist. The music of the Oh Hellos is at times delicate\, intimate\, affectionate\; and at others soaring and towering and joyfully explosive. Their influences range from Fleet Foxes and Sufjan Stevens to the Middle East and the Muppets as they bend and blend styles and genres into a unique mixture of eclectic folk rock. This band made quite the splash at the 2016 Ann Arbor Folk Festival! The seven-piece North Carolina band The Collection opens.

SUMMARY:Performance:Open Stage Showcase
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, the organizers of The Ark's monthly Open Stage pick one or two artists who they feel have really honed their stuff and are ready for prime time. This year's Open Stage Showcase features Casey Harwood.  As a lifelong lover of good writing\, and good music\, Casey Harwood seeks to pen songs that are equal parts cerebral and personal\, with a bit of humor sprinkled in. Though he hails from the Pacific Northwest\, the past decade has carried him to New York\, Alaska\, Hawaii\, and many places in between by air\, sea\, and land (on both two wheels and four). Since beginning his Ph.D. in Naval Architecture at the U-M four years ago\, he has frequented The Ark’s open stage with guitar and ukulele in hand. Ed Scruggs is a familiar face on the local openmic scene.  He can be seen around the area almost any night of the week. He is best known for taking songs that you think you know and singing them in his own way. Ed's voice of soulful gravel is often compared to those ofHarry Chapin\, Tom Waits and Richie Havens.  As one DJ put it\, “He sings folk music with an attitude.” He will sing music of Paul Simon\, Joni Mitchell\, John Prine and many others.

SUMMARY:Performance:Marshall Crenshaw & the Bottle Rockets
DESCRIPTION:Can anyone who was listening to new music in the 1980s forget the songs of Marshall Crenshaw? To New Wave pop they brought country and R&B elements\, they brought romantic yearning\, they brought the craft of a true songwriter. Unlike most of the acts of that era of youthful musical attitude\, southest Michigan native Marshall Crenshaw is still going strong. These days the bespectacled romantic fool of the early 1980s is all grown up\, but with his fabulous songwriting chops undiminished—and even augmented a bit by jazz harmonies on occasion. Marshall comes to town with St. Louis alt-country band The Bottle Rockets\, who will play a set of their own and then join Marshall as his backing band. He'll be bringing his first new album in six years\, \"The EP Collection.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Micah Smiles Benefit Concert for C.S. Mott Children's Hospital
DESCRIPTION:Fate has a magical way of bringing people together. Take the case of Joe and Hannah\, a.k.a Acoustic Eidolon. In 1995\, Hannah\, a studio cellist\, received a call to play on a Boulder ensemble’s record. Hannah listened in amazement as directions to the recording studio told her to turn on a small road near her home\, and then turn down her own street past her house. Little did Hannah know that across the street and three houses away lived Joe\, the greatest double-neck guitjo player in the world (OK\, the only double-neck guitjo player in the world). The double-neck guitjo\, somewhere between a guitar and a harp\, has 14 strings and Joe has developed his own style and technique\, playing both necks simultaneously. Later Joe called Hannah\, saying he’d always wanted to hear the cello and the guitjo together. He had a feeling the harp-like sound of the guitjo\, combined with the warmth of Hannah’s cello\, would be beautiful together. So on a snowy day in February 1998\, they got together to play for the first time. Captivated by the music they created together\, Joe and Hannah immediately agreed to clear out their schedules\, start rehearsing full-time\, and form what would become Acoustic Eidolon. Musical/business partnership and friendship blossomed into their marriage on October 14\, 2001. Hannah and Joe (and sons Zach and Alex) became a family. Joe and Hannah joke that this was a marriage of convenience since they were already together all the time anyway!\n\nNote special 7:30 p.m. starting time.

SUMMARY:Performance:Chris Hillman & Herb Pedersen
DESCRIPTION:Chris Hillman was part of two pretty popular little 1960s bands called the Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers\, and he was making Americana music long before the genre had a name. A genuine California cowboy when he was young\, Chris grew up on a San Diego County ranch\, riding horses\, and doing ranch chores\, but his interests would soon change from spurs and saddles to guitars and mandolins. Chris received the Americana Music Association's Lifetime Achievement Award in 2005. Bluegrass has always been an important part of Chris's music\, and he has teamed up with his Desert Rose Band comrade Herb Pedersen for a wonderful series of bluegrass albums that encompass traditional sounds\, Byrds classics\, Desert Rose Band country hits\, and more. Herb Pedersen is the leader of the Laurel Canyon Ramblers\, long one of the preeminent bands in L.A. bluegrass\, and he's worked with a whole roster of stars in bluegrass\, country\, and rock. In person these two veterans deliver a relaxed bluegrass show with the spontaneous quality that comes only from absolute mastery.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Accidentals
DESCRIPTION:Katie Larson\,  Savannah Buist\, and MIchael Dause have created quite a name for themselves among music lovers of all genres. ” Grand Rapids' Z93 FM DJ Matt Mansfield writes: “Combine musicality\, originality and melodic beauty with a welcome and unexpected bite to clever lyrics and you've got Accidentals music. Songwriters\, look no farther to find a new pairing to be jealous of\, especially with such a bright future ahead of them.\" Katie and Savannah met in 2011 at their public high school in northwest Lower Michigan\; Katie was a freshman cello player\, and Savannah was a violinist and orchestra concertmaster. Growing up in musical families with professional pianists for fathers and vocalists for mothers\, their influences bounced among classical\, jazz\, bluegrass\, country\, alt-rock\, and the obscure. Joining forces with similarly youthful Detroit-area percussionist Michael Dause\, they've created fresh music that has both sophistication and punch. The group's original tunes reflect their exposure to a wide variety of instruments while staying true to their orchestral roots. Named one of Billboard's top seven SXSW breakout artists last year\, the Accidentals have opened for Andrew Bird\, Sixto Rodriguez (Sugarman)\, and more. They come to The Ark on the heels of an appearance at the 2016 Ann Arbor Folk Festival.

DESCRIPTION:\"You can dance to jazz ... again\,\" promise the Macpodz\, who bring sophisticated funk to put the perfect wrap on your weekend. Call their music jazz-rock\, as some have\, or disco-bebop\, as they themselves do: the bottom line is that their music is varied\, tight\, sophisticated\, and extremely fun rhythmically. This Ann Arbor band falls into a tradition going back to Miles Davis and Frank Zappa\, but they push the boundaries of rock\, jazz\, and fusion music to create something new that's gaining admirers all over the country. Among the raves the Macpodz have earned is one from the Toledo City Paper\, which noticed \"lots and lots of swinging horn licks that rouse and comfort all at once.\" The Macpodz are popular far beyond Michigan now\, but their Ark shows are legendary—their \"Live at The Ark\" album was recorded here\, and we think it's the perfect place for them to celebrate a big anniversary.

SUMMARY:Performance:Heather Nova
DESCRIPTION:Heather Nova emerged in the early 1990s. Her first album was hailed as \"a stoned black olive among drab greens\" by NME\, and for many years she was well-established in the world of alternative rock. Her live shows have an intensity and uniqueness that have always created a buzz\, with such combinations as a cello plus distorted guitars. Heather's self-penned songs are raw and emotional\, frequently injected with cool pop melodies—a combination that has often seen her fall through genre cracks. This has both helped and hindered her. The London Evening Standard recently called Heather \"one of pop's most enduring enigmas\" for good reason. She has always made her own way and has had little regard for current trends. Her ninth and latest album\, \"The Way It Feels\,\" has echoes of Americana\, bit of dark folk\, a banjo and some pedal steel here and there. Chris Riffle opens.

While some might try to copy old-style country music\, Robbie Fulks not only knows it and loves it\, but also brings its spirit\, its humor\, and sometimes its one-of-a-kind strangeness to his own work. \"Fulks' heroes have been done wrong by women\, the law\, and life itself\, but they keep on going\,\" says the Cincinnati Post. The same might be said of Robbie himself\, who's been blazing his own path for more than 15 years now. His recent work has had a serious\, almost philosophical tinge\, and he comes to The Ark with a much-awaited new album\, \"Upland Stories.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Johnny Clegg Band
DESCRIPTION:Guitarist Johnny Clegg was born in England but grew up in South Africa\, learning Zulu music (and the Zulu language) from a guitarist who played on a street near his home. Despite constant harassment from police enforcing South Africa's apartheid laws\, Johnny joined with black South African musicians to form the bands Juluka and Savuka\, hugely influential ensembles that laid crucial groundwork for the spread of South African music around the world. In Europe crowds of tens of thousands turn out to see him when they have the chance\, but his North American appearances are once-or-twice-a-decade affairs. Dancer\, anthrologist\, singer\, songwriter\, activist\, French knight—all of these tags fit Johnny Clegg\, but none fully describes the energetic\, passionate human being who has become one of South Africa's greatest exports.

SUMMARY:Performance:Kris Allen
DESCRIPTION:On his third full-length album\, \"Horizons\,\" singer/songwriter and American Idol winner Kris Allen sharpens his songcraft and brings a more boldly open-hearted spirit to his soulful brand of pop- ock than ever before. With his past work including a 2009 self-titled debut featuring the platinum-selling single “Live Like We’re Dying\,” Allen’s first independently released album finds him reaching a new level of sophistication in his melody-minded songwriting while fully tapping into his natural grace as a singer and guitarist. After writing much of the material for \"Horizons\" at home on his front porch in Arkansas\, Allen headed to Nashville to team up with Charlie Peacock (the Grammy Award-nominated musician/songwriter/producer who’s previously worked with artists like Switchfoot\, The Civil Wars\, and Brett Dennen). The result weaves graceful R&B grooves\, rootsy country/folk-rock riffs\, and sublimely catchy pop hooks. “We did most of the songs in just a few takes instead of going through and making sure every single thing was completely perfect\, which I think gives the album a different kind of energy than the records I’ve done in the past\,” says Allen. That spontaneity comes through in Kris's stage performances\, which combine charisma and a kind of direct communication with audiences that's all too rare today.

SUMMARY:Performance:Tim O'Brien
DESCRIPTION:Singer\, songwriter\, and multi-instrumentalist Tim O'Brien has become one of the most respected and beloved figures in American music over the last 30 years. As a member of the bluegrass band Hot Rize and its comic offshoot Red Knuckles & the Trailblazers\, he set a new standard for contemporary bluegrass that maintained respect for the tradition. His songs\, in the hands of superstars like the Dixie Chicks\, Garth Brooks\, and Kathy Mattea\, have roosted atop the country charts for months. He's delved into Celtic music\, old-time music\, and more\, and he's put a deeply personal stamp on everything he's done. Tim O'Brien is not only one of the most talented roots musicians working today\, he's also one of the most visionary.  Tim comes to Michigan with his first new solo album in four years. Says Tim: \"It’s called 'Pompadour' and features six new originals\, covers of songs by Woody Guthrie\, James Brown\, Michael Hurley\, and Dan Reeder\, plus a traditional fiddle tune. 'Pompadour' includes banjo and electric guitar sounds\, funk and swing grooves\, and even a couple of love songs.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Robert Jones & Matt Watroba
DESCRIPTION:Ever since their first meeting\, over twenty years ago\, Robert Jones and Matt Watroba have been musical partners. Their relationship started when they hosted back-to-back radio shows on WDET-FM\, Detroit. Later on they started performing together and in doing so discovered a friendship based on mutual respect and a love for traditional American music. Now Matt and Robert literally travel the nation extolling the virtues of “Music That Matters.\" Robert & Matt have performed this powerful program at hundreds of schools\, festivals\, coffeehouses\, and conferences\, to resounding acclaim. Says Jennifer Tobin of the Village Theater of Canton: \"This show delivers a wonderful and powerful message of love\, friendship\, tolerance: where we have been\, where we are\, and hopefully where we can go. It is a walk through the roots and history of American music that not only educates\, but entertains. Robert and Matt are consummate professionals\, and always a joy to work with. Children and teachers love this interactive show\, and the evaluations I get are enthusiastic endorsements and requests to present it again.”

SUMMARY:Performance:Will Hoge
DESCRIPTION:Will Hoge has been through the wringer. \"Took a whole lot of miles to know what I know now\,\" he sings on \"Growing Up Around Here\,\" the opening track off of his tenth studio album\, \"Small Town Dreams.\" It's been a whole lot of miles\, indeed: miles on the road\, driving the bus himself from venue to venue since the 1990s\; miles to and from Nashville writing rooms\, where he's spent countless hours penning songs. This is the album that follows every twist and turn in Will's American journey—a journey that's positioned him as one of our keenest\, most honest modern storytellers\, telling both his own tale and ours. An extremely prolific songwriter with ten albums under his belt and countless songs written for others (including a Grammy nomination for Eli Young Band's number-one hit\, \"Even If Breaks Your Heart\,\" co-written with Paslay)\, Will sees this next phase of his journey as an opportunity to explore even deeper into both his country and rock & roll roots. Never fitting particularly neatly into a genre box\, he's always just made the music that moved him—but it's safe to say that he feels more kinship with the country community than ever\, particularly as a storyteller.

SUMMARY:Performance:Kiefer Sutherland
DESCRIPTION:Kiefer Sutherland has been a professional actor for over 30 years\, starring in movies like \"Stand By Me\,\" \"The Lost Boys\,\" \"Young Guns.\" \"Flatliners\,\" \"A Few Good Men\,\" \"A Time to Kill\,\" \"Dark City\,\" \"Melancholia\,\" and most recently\, a western called \"Forsaken\,\" as well as the TV series \"24.\"\n\nBut unknown to many during the course of his career\, he has taken on other vocations with the same kind of dedication and commitment. The first one\, beginning around 1992\, was that of a cattle rancher and competitive cowboy (roper) in the USTRC team roping circuit. He ran a successful ranch with partner John English for almost a decade. During that timeframe\, Sutherland won numerous roping events around the country including Phoenix\, Indio and the Los Angeles Open.\n\nIn 2002\, Sutherland\, with his music partner and best friend Jude Cole\, began a small record label called Ironworks. The goal of this label was to record local musicians and distribute their music at a time when the music industry was going through a monumental shift. Some of their artists included Rocco DeLuca and the Burden\, HoneyHoney and Billy Boy On Poison. In 2009\, Sutherland left the label to recharge and figure out what he was going to do next.\n\nIn early 2015 Sutherland played Cole two songs he had written and wanted to record as demos for other artists to record. Cole responded positively to the songs and the album grew organically from those recordings. Two songs became four and four grew into six\, until Cole suggested that they make a record. Their collaboration resulted in Kiefer Sutherland’s upcoming debut album: \"Down In A Hole.\"\n\nSutherland says of the 11 tracks that make up the album\, “It’s the closest thing I’ve ever had to a journal or diary. All of these songs are pulled from my own personal experiences. There is something very satisfying about being able to look back on my own life\, good times and bad\, and express those sentiments in music. As much as I have enjoyed the writing and recording process\, I am experiencing great joy now being able to play these songs to a live audience\, which was something I hadn’t counted on.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Pat McGee
DESCRIPTION:The Laurel Canyon scene lives! Troubadour Pat McGee was influenced by the classic albums of the 1970s that were spun in his childhood home. “I was inspired to write a record that was not based on a ‘single’ but on the wholeness of the complete album\,” Pat says of his new self-titled double album. “I was at a friend’s house\, listening to what I thought was someone’s playlist on an iPod. When I realized they were spinning full albums on vinyl\, I was blown away. The very next day\, I decided to buy a record player and picked up the ten records that lit the fire in me to start playing music\, including seminal records by James Taylor\, Jackson Browne\, and Crosby\, Stills\, and Nash.” Channeling the vintage warmth of those recordings\, Pat\, who recently appeared on a double bill at The Ark with Brian Vander Ark\, has created new music that brings the spirit of folk-rock alive.

DESCRIPTION:Nora Jane Struthers is one of the most exciting songwriters in country\, bluegrass\, and Americana music right now. In the words of bluegrass great Claire Lynch\, Nora Jane Struthers \"infuses bright\, fresh lyrics into this traditional genre with sheer intelligence. Musically\, she takes unconventional twists and turns\, while 'holding you to the road' with commanding charm.\" This Brooklyn-to-Nashville transplant has taken Music City by storm with original songs that are by turns breezy and deadly serious. Nora Jane's albums have attracted A-list instrumentalists\, and NPR Music raves: \"Fans of Dixie Chicks\, Alison Krauss and Dolly Parton\, take notice: Nora Jane Struthers embodies everything you could want in an Americana singer-songwriter.” Nora Jane and her band\, The Party Line\, are putting traditions and new ideas together in whole new ways\, and her voice is like a cool drink on a hot day to boot. Ken Tucker of NPR's Fresh Air called Nora Jane's latest\, \"Wake\,\" \"excellent\, alert\, and sharp-tongued\,\" and observed that she lives up to being named after Jane Austen and Dashiell Hammett's Nora Charles. Nora Jane returns from the Friday night bill at the 2016 Ann Arbor Folk Festival.

DESCRIPTION:Alan Doyle\, actor\, producer\, newly minted best-selling author (his book \"Where I Belong\" is about growing up in Newfoundland and Labrador)\, and best known as lead singer for Newfoundland’s beloved Great Big Sea these past 20-plus years\, recently released his second solo album\, \"Let's Go.\" “If there’s an overarching theme on this record\, it’s one of optimism … not that this is in contrast to my previous doom-laden songs!” laughs Alan\, who says this album is both freer and closer to the roots than its 2012 predecessor\, \"Boy On Bridge. “On my last solo record I wanted to explore musical backyards of friends of mine in different parts of the musical world. It was as much a physical as a musical journey away from home\,\" Alan says. \"On 'So Let’s Go\,' folks will hear much more stuff from my backyard and all the traditional and Celtic influences I grew up with\, married with the most contemporary collaborators out there.” It adds up to a show with all the energy Great Big Sea is known for\, but with musical growth added to the mix. \"So Let's Go\" continues to cement Alan Doyle's reputation as one of Canada's most treasured musicians and storytellers—and one of North America's most exciting showmen. \"I always want people to have the greatest night of their life when the house lights go down\,\" Alan says.

Their effort in those early days propelled The Waifs to multiple ARIA awards\, platinum albums\, and successful tours internationally\, even an opening gig for Bob Dylan’s North American and Australian Tours in 2003. An easy chemistry and profound depth of songwriting talent have bound The Waifs and kept the together and creative over the long term. In January 2015\, with their regular rhythm section\, drummer Dave Ross Macdonald and bassist Ben Franz\, The Waifs entered the studio in Byron Bay\, with producer Nick DiDia (Bruce Springsteen\, Rage Against the Machine\, Powderfinger)\, and emerged with \"Beautiful You.\" The album delivers abundant choruses\, intoxicating instrumentals\, and lush\, joyful harmonies The Waifs have become known for. Now signed to the Compass label\, The Waifs come to Michigan after a triumphant run of summer festivals in 2015.Come back soon for more information.

SUMMARY:Performance:Heywood Banks
DESCRIPTION:Michigan's Heywood Banks is simply one of a kind\, with a style his very own. Equal parts genius and buffoon\, this songwriter-comic-singer-poet-musician has become a cult hero and a pop icon\, with a show that appeals to college students\, stoners\, businessmen\, yuppies\, rednecks\, punks\, kids\, and/or your grandmother. Heywood intersperses his humorous observations of life with inventive\, bizarre songs\, sung and played in a variety of styles\, from folk\, to country to rock to pop\, and way beyond. His material works on several levels—it gets pretty deep into pop culture\, but you can also enjoy him just for his vocal style impersonations\, expert musicianship\, and just plain silliness. Heywood Banks has appeared on A&E's \"Evening at the Improv\,\" MTV's \"1/2 Hour Comedy Hour\,\" and \"Entertainment Tonight\,\" and he was the MC for both nights of the 2012 Ann Arbor Folk Festival. Come by and pick up copies of Heywood's latest CDs\, \"Never Trust a Puppet\" and \"Dear Calamity Jane.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Ben Daniels Band
DESCRIPTION:Returning from the 2016 Ann Arbor Folk Festival\, Ben Daniels is the son of actor Jeff Daniels\, but that's very much the beginning of a story\, not the end. When Ben Daniels decided he was going to be a musician\, it was more than a career choice. A natural poet\, this young songwriter went to school on Bob Dylan\, Robert Johnson\, and Jack White\, among others. His lyrics speak directly to a younger generation that hears\, sees\, and thinks about the very things he’s writing. From their opening song to the finale of their set\, The Ben Daniels Band brings originality and musicianship to a sound that spans Americana\, blues\, jazz\, and rock. What Ben inherited from his father is\, perhaps\, a feeling for what it takes to live life as an artist\, to reach out and create not just songs but anthems with arrangements that pull people in. With six CDs under their belts—\"Coming From The C\,\" \"Checkin’ In To The Michigan Inn\,\" \"Can’t You See\,\" \"The Mountain Home\" EP\, the dual album and movie release \"Old Gold\,\" and their most recent release\, \"Roll\"—The Ben Daniels Band has grown to be a formidable group that sounds pleasantly familiar\, yet unforgettably unique.

He's collaborated with Gary Burton\, Jim Hall\, David Grisman\, Béla Fleck\, and Charles Lloyd\, as well as releasing albums as a soloist and leader.

SUMMARY:Performance:Alejandro Escovedo
DESCRIPTION:Alejandro Escovedo's life reads like a primer in renewal. He was around at the dawn of American punk rock in his band the Nuns\, which opened the last Sex Pistols show. His next band\, Rank and File\, marked a key stage in the early evolution of what became known as alternative country. Since then he's been a solo songwriter full of amazing stories\, a full-blast rocker\, and a survivor back from the brink of death. A superb electric guitarist\, Alejandro has forged a new and distinctive instrumental collaboration with a member of his band each time he's come to The Ark over the last several years\, and his Ark shows are not to be missed! Alejandro's latest album\, \"Big Station\,\" shows the influence of Bruce Springsteen. Tonight's special guest is Lucette\, a fast-rising songwriter whose voice is gentle yet chilling.

SUMMARY:Performance:Buffy Sainte Marie
DESCRIPTION:Of Canadian Cree background\, Buffy Sainte-Marie was a graduating college senior in 1962 and hit the ground running in the early 1960s\, after the beatniks and before the hippies. She toured North America’s colleges\, reservations\, and concert halls\, meeting both huge acclaim and huge misperception from audiences and record companies who expected Pocahontas in fringes\, and instead were both entertained and educated with their initial dose of Native American reality in the first person. Her song \"Until It’s Time for You to Go\" was recorded by Elvis and Barbra and Cher\, and her \"Universal Soldier\" became an anthem of the peace movement. For five years she was a member of the cast of \"Sesame Street.\" With her \"I'm Gonna Be a Country Girl Again\" album (1967)\, containing the classics \"Soulful Shade of Blue\" and \"Sometimes When I Get to Thinkin'\" she brought about a folk-country meeting of the minds\, and ever since then\, with a series of albums that now numbers 18\, she has continued to explore own heritage musically\; in Native American communities she has remained a legendary figure. Buffy Sainte-Marie helped to found Canada’s Music of Aboriginal Canada JUNO category\, raised a son\, earned a Ph.D. in Fine Arts\, taught Digital Music as adjunct professor at several colleges\, and won an Academy Award Oscar and a Golden Globe Award for the song \"Up Where We Belong.\" Her blazing Saturday-night set in 2015 was one of the highlights of recent Ann Arbor Folk Festivals.

SUMMARY:Performance:Chris Smither
DESCRIPTION:Honing a synthesis of folk and blues for 50 years\, Chris Smither is truly an American original. After a series of timeless records dating back to the early 1970s\, Chris' newest release\, \"Still On the Levee\,\" is a career-spanning retrospective double CD. The record highlights the vast catalog of an American music master. Reviewers and fans from around the world agree that Chris is a profound songwriter\, a blistering guitarist and\, as he puts it\, a \"one-man band to the bone.\" Chris melds the styles of his two major influences\, Lightnin' Hopkins and Mississippi John Hurt\, into his own signature guitar sound. His music continues to draw deeply from the blues\, American folk music\, modern poets\, and humanist philosophers. Chris may be best known for writing \"Love You Like A Man\,\" which Bonnie Raitt and more recently jazz great Kelly Clarkson have covered. His music has been covered by numerous artists and featured in soundtrack albums\, independent film\, television and commercials\, and at The Ark he has a meeting of the minds with audiences that occurs in very few other places.

SUMMARY:Performance:Lucy Kaplansky
DESCRIPTION:The daughter of the famed Polish-Canadian mathematician Irving Kaplansky (who once wrote a song based on the first 14 digits of pi that his daughter has been known to perform)\, Lucy Kaplansky started out singing in Chicago bars. Then\, barely out of high school\, she took off for New York City. There she found a fertile community of songwriters and performers—Suzanne Vega\, John Gorka\, Bill Morrissey\, Cliff Eberhardt\, and others—where she fit right in. She's a singer-songwriter with an extraordinary feel for the range of human emotion. Lucy puts her own spin on contemporary songwriter folk with warm\, powerful vocals and guitar playing that draws guitar gods (or geeks) to talk shop with her. Lucy Kaplansky\, says the Boston Globe\, \"is becoming the troubadour laureate of modern city folk.\" We haven't seen Lucy's full show at The Ark for several years\, so it's time to come out and see what this wonderful songwriter has been up to and working through

SUMMARY:Performance:Joe Pug
DESCRIPTION:After a creative crisis and a long layoff\, Joe Pug is back! Joe has collected plenty of the requisite Dylan comparisons over his young career\, but on his new album\, \"Windfall\,\" it’s easier to hear the sway of more contemporary influences like Josh Ritter\, Ryan Adams and M.Ward. The theme of resilience plays a central role throughout \"Windfall.\" The weary protagonist in “Veteran Fighter” wills his way further down the highway despite the gloom that seems certain to overtake him. ”The Measure”\, a song inspired in part by Frederic Buechner’s novel Godric\, marvels at  ”every inch of anguish\, laid out side by side” but ultimately finds that “All we’ve lost is nothing to what we’ve found.” ”I never really write songs with a specific narrative in mind\,” Joe explains. “When you’re sort of pushing through a dark period of your life it’s probably inevitable that some of that is going to find its way onto the page.  But in the same way\, by the time we were in the studio the process had become very effortless and joyful. And hopefully you can hear a lot of that on the record as well.” As the saying goes\, “All’s well that ends well.” Joe Pug didn’t call it quits after all\, and we're glad he didn't!

Says Dirty Linen: \"He knows and captures what is real and lasting—the joyous\, contradictory poetry of living\,\" and Canada's Kitchener Record praises his \"visionary songs of haunting and mysterious power.\"

DESCRIPTION:Sam Beam is a singer-songwriter who has been creating music as Iron and Wine for over a decade. Through the course of five albums\, numerous EPs and singles\, and the initial volumes of an Archive Series\, he has captured the emotion and imagination of listeners with distinctly cinematic songs. in 2014 he contacted experimental California songwriter Jesca Hoop\, and the pair began writing duets. \"We are over the moon with the alchemical results !!!! The songs are loooooooovely !!!\,\" Jesca enthuses. \"Love Letter for Fire\" is the name of the collaborative record that resulted. It's a collection of songs steeped in the tradition of the male/female duet where love\, requited and unrequited\, takes center stage. These are compositions that tap into the deep tradition of American harmony singing yet are unlike any other duets you've ever heard. A one-of-a-kind\, once-in-a-lifetime event!

SUMMARY:Performance:Mouths of Babes
DESCRIPTION:With more than a dozen albums and over a thousand shows between them\, Ty Greenstein and Ingrid Elizabeth of Mouths of Babes are no strangers to the modern folk music scene. For years\, their respective bands Girlyman and Coyote Grace captivated thousands of loyal fans as they crisscrossed the country\, rocked festival main stages\, and toured with the likes of the Indigo Girls and Dar Williams. Now\, as Mouths of Babes\, Ty and Ingrid have distilled the very best of the songwriting\, humor\, and musicianship of their previous groups into a new power duo whose key is contrast. Rarely is a sound or a show as balanced as it is with these two\, and the differences in both their songwriting styles and personal presentation makes for an unusually satisfying yin and yang. The Chicago Tribune writes: “They offer unique counterpoints to one another…the laidback Ty\, nattily dressed in a tie and crisp suit jacket\, has a rich\, lovely alto. Ingrid\, clad in a sultry pink satin mini-dress\, is a sassy chanteuse with a lilting soprano. Trading jokes and sharing elegant harmonies\, the two women display an intuitive professional bond.” They easily switch off lead vocals and play a wide array of instruments\, with Ty on acoustic and electric guitars\, banjo\, and foot percussion\, and Ingrid playing upright bass\, ukulele\, and cajón.

DESCRIPTION:Special offer! A digital download of Peter Wolf’s forthcoming album\, A Cure For Loneliness (available April 8)\, is included with every ticket you order for this show. To take advantage of this offer\, please be sure to enter your email address when ordering tickets.\n\nPeter Wolf was the longtime lead singer of rock's J. Geils Band\, and he had a hand as writer in many of their hit songs (although not \"Centerfold\"). His charismatic stage presence was integral to that band's success\, which crossed geographic and racial lines. Peter went on to a great solo career that has included such radio-friendly hits as \"Come As You Are\" as well as deeper album tracks that showed his passion for classic soul and R&B. Now\,Peter continues his musical journey with \"A Cure for Loneliness\,\" his eighth solo release. The 12-song album ranks with the artist's most adventurous and accomplished work\, showcasing his irrepressible charisma while encompassing his effortless affinity for country\, blues\, R&B and rock 'n' roll. \"A Cure for Loneliness\" includes nine new Wolf originals\, four of them co-written with Grammy/Academy Award-winning songwriter Will Jennings.  The material ranges from the loose-limbed gospel boogie of \"How Do You\" to the rousing rock of \"Wasting Time\" to the acoustic reverie of \"Some Other Time\, Some Other Place\" to the swinging big-band swagger of \"Mr. Mistake\" to the introspective balladry of \"Peace of Mind\" and \"Fun For A While\"—plus an audacious bluegrass reworking of the classic J. Geils anthem \"Love Stinks\,\" and the stirring soul ballad \"It's Raining\,\" which Wolf co-wrote with R&B pioneer Don Covay. \"I see this album as a continuation of a body of work that I've been creating for a long\, long time\,\" Peter says. \"Each album is a challenge and every one of them has been a learning experience. I think that they've become more personal and revealing as I've continued. I still feel the way I felt when I started out decades ago\, I'm just trying to prevail and continue to grow as an artist … and to keep rolling on with music as a cure for loneliness.\" The Ark is proud to present a legend of rock music\, up close and personal\, for two intimate evenings with his band The Midnight Travelers.

The 12-song album ranks with the artist's most adventurous and accomplished work\, showcasing his irrepressible charisma while encompassing his effortless affinity for country\, blues\, R&B and rock 'n' roll. \"A Cure for Loneliness\" includes nine new Wolf originals\, four of them co-written with Grammy/Academy Award-winning songwriter Will Jennings.  The material ranges from the loose-limbed gospel boogie of \"How Do You\" to the rousing rock of \"Wasting Time\" to the acoustic reverie of \"Some Other Time\, Some Other Place\" to the swinging big-band swagger of \"Mr. Mistake\" to the introspective balladry of \"Peace of Mind\" and \"Fun For A While\"—plus an audacious bluegrass reworking of the classic J. Geils anthem \"Love Stinks\,\" and the stirring soul ballad \"It's Raining\,\" which Wolf co-wrote with R&B pioneer Don Covay. \"I see this album as a continuation of a body of work that I've been creating for a long\, long time\,\" Peter says. \"Each album is a challenge and every one of them has been a learning experience. I think that they've become more personal and revealing as I've continued. I still feel the way I felt when I started out decades ago\, I'm just trying to prevail and continue to grow as an artist … and to keep rolling on with music as a cure for loneliness.\" The Ark is proud to present a legend of rock music\, up close and personal\, for two intimate evenings with his band The Midnight Travelers.

DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, May 21 at 8 pm\, and Sunday May 22 at 7 pm\, Rachel Urist’s American Impressionists in Monet Country will be presented at the Michigan League. The event is a theatrical exploration of the artists in Giverny at the turn of the 20th century.\n\nGiverny is a tranquil village\, nestled between Paris and Rouen.

The event is hosted by the Friends of the Michigan League. The presentation features the paintings of Frederick Frieseke\, a Michigan-born member of the Giverny community. Urist directs. She and Heusel join the cast.\n\nThis reader’s theatre presentation includes live music (Laurel Federbush on harp) and projected images of eighty paintings by many artists.

SUMMARY:Performance:Nick Moss
DESCRIPTION:With face-melting guitar solos that rise above the crowded field of pretenders\, and a versatile band that brilliantly delivers unparalleled improvisational jams to packed houses night after night\, city after city\, Nick Moss and his band have been featured performers at blues festivals across the globe. But they're at home in Chicago\, where Nick and his band get the ultimate stamp of approval from Hall of Famer and blues icon Buddy Guy. Nick has also been recognized by the International Songwriting Competition for his ability to add amazing new songs to the venerable blues canon. Says blues master Jimmy Thackery: \"Nick is at it again\, pushing the evolution of his music\, stylistically as well as sonically.\" His recording career has brought him numerous accolades and his albums have been staples at blues radio nationwide\, but he crosses boundaries now\, and his songs have scored at rock and jam band stations as well.

SUMMARY:Performance:Aoife O'Donovan
DESCRIPTION:Says the Washington Post: \"Aoife O'Donovan's singing is almost too gorgeous for its own good.\" Aoife O'Donovan (say EE-fa) hit the road as the lead singer and principal songwriter/song-finder of Crooked Still\, which grew into one of the world’s most acclaimed progressive string groups over the last decade. The versatility and appeal of her voice brought her to the attention of some of the most eminent names in music and led to collaborations across a wide variety of genres with everyone from Alison Krauss to Dave Douglas\, along with a role as vocalist on the Grammy-winning Goat Rodeo Sessions alongside Chris Thile\, Yo-Yo Ma\, Edgar Meyer and Stuart Duncan. Aoife's lovely debut album\, \"Fossils\,\" was the product of nearly a decade of creative reflection. Now she comes to Michigan with a new release\, \"In the Magic Hour.\" We got a tantalizing taste on \"A Prairie Home Companion\" in April when Aoife tore up the stage with new host Chris Thile\, and her much-awaited return to The Ark is sounding like one of the must-hear acoustic shows of the spring.

SUMMARY:Performance:Judy Collins
DESCRIPTION:Judy Collins has thrilled audiences worldwide with her unique blend of folksong interpretations and contemporary themes. Her career has spanned well over 50 years. In 1961 Judy released her first album\, \"A Maid of Constant Sorrow.\" at the age of 22 and began a 35-year association with Elektra Records. She interpreted the songs of fellow artists\, particularly the social poets of the time such as Bob Dylan\, Phil Ochs and Tom Paxton. Judy was instrumental in bringing singer-songwriters to a wider audience\, including Bob Dylan\, Phil Ochs\, Tom Paxton\, Leonard Cohen\, Joni Mitchell\, and Randy Newman. Judy's career has included new album releases in every decade since the 1960s\, and she's written books including \"Sanity & Grace\,\" a memoir focusing on the death of her only son and the healing process that followed. Judy Collins is still a relentlessly creative spirit who's writing\, performing 80 to 100 dates a year\, and nurturing fresh talent. What's the perfect start to your summer? A live Judy Collins show at The Ark\, of course! But don't delay on tickets. Judy comes to Michigan with a brand new album\, \"Strangers Again\,\" a collection of duets.

DESCRIPTION:Four sisters from Fort Collins\, Colorado\, raised in an atmosphere of creative freedom and diligent study\, have honed their musical skills surgically sharp and blended their personalities and visions into a unified whole. They are a vocal group with outstanding instrumental capabilities and an instrumental group with a thrilling vocal attack. From their fetching\, unpredictable songs to their whimsical\, hand-made top hats\, SHEL makes a profound impression\, something they are doing to growing crowds and critical acclaim. Sisters Sarah\, Hannah\, Eva and Liza were born within five years of each other. Nestled within SHEL’s enveloping sound are wisps of folk revival\, vaudeville\, renaissance fairs and steam-punk aesthetic\, and allusions abound to their core influences—The Beatles\, Bob Dylan\, Harry Nilsson and acoustic super-group Strength In Numbers—but you’ve never heard a sound like this before. They borrow liberally from their classical training\, yet there’s nothing ponderous or unapproachable about them. SHEL has played public radio’s Etown\, Echoes\, South by Southwest\, Nashville’s Music City Roots\, and Lilith Fair\, and they come to town with a brand-new release\, \"Just Crazy Enough.\"

The repertoire expanded to range from Bill Monroe to Townes Van Zandt to some choice selections from blockbuster hits. Asked to define their style\, they say\, \"Bluegrass Funkgrass Slamgrass Fungrass. Sometimes we take the grass out and are just a BlueFunkSlamFun band.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:A.J. Croce
DESCRIPTION:The son of 1970s icon Jim Croce\, Adrian James Croce suffered another tragedy in childhood: he went completely blind at age four. As he gradually regained partial sight in one eye\, he began to play the piano\, emulating records by Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder. He grew into a musician who was anything but a Jim Croce clone\, taking off from classic piano blues and growing into a unique keyboard-playing songwriter\, with a preference for vintage instruments and a way of making a lot out of a very minimal song. A lot of musicians call themselves eclectic\, but few can claim this: each of A.J.'s first five album releases hit the charts in a different genre (jazz\, Americana\, blues\, AAA\, college\, and top 40\, if you're keeping score). A.J. Croce has grown as a musician with each new release\, and his latest\, \"Twelve Tales\,\" was recorded i Nashville with a team of producers that included the late greats Cowboy Jack Clement and Allen Toussaint.

SUMMARY:Performance:Hayes Carll
DESCRIPTION:Hayes Carll is an odd mix. Wildly literate\, impossibly romantic\, absolutely a slave to the music\, this modern-day Texan is completely committed to the truth and unafraid to skewer pomposity\, hypocrisy and small-minded thinking. He connects with music lovers across genre lines. Playing rock clubs and honkytonks\, Bonnaroo\, Stones Fest\, SXSW and NXNE\, he and his band the Gulf Coast Orchestra merge Ray Wylie Hubband’s lean freewheeling squalor with Todd Snider’s brazen Gen Y reality and a healthy dose of love among unhealthy people. Hayes returns to The Ark with the Joe Henry–produced \"Lovers and Leavers\,\" his first new album in five years. \"I went through a divorce. I fell in love. Changes were made\, realizations were realized\, and life was lived\,\" Hayes explains. \"But\, I kept on writing songs\, on my own and with a cast of accomplished characters who combined their own stories and perspectives with mine. “Lovers and Leavers” isn’t funny or raucous. There are very few hoots and almost no hollers. But it is joyous\, and it makes me smile. No\, it’s not my “Blood on the Tracks\,” nor is it any kind of opus. It’s my fifth record—a reflection of a specific time and place.It is quiet\, like I wanted it to be. Like I wanted to be.\" Tonight's opener is Emily Gimble\, granddaughter of Texas fiddle legend Johnny Gimble.

SUMMARY:Performance:Steve Nardella Blues Band
DESCRIPTION:Steve Nardella has been blasting away with his 1956 Gibson for decades now\, and can rattle off more than 400 vintage tunes—from the blues to ‘50s rock and even the archives of ‘40s swing. He was born in Providence\, Rhode Island the year Roy Brown recorded “Good Rockin’ Tonight” and that song must have gotten into Steve’s soul. He grew up on the sounds of Elvis Presley\, Buddy Holly\, and Eddie Cochran on the family phonograph and Carl Henry’s local radio show\, which featured the music of blues legends such as Muddy Waters\, Jimmy Reed\, and Count Basie. As a teen Steve discovered a goldmine at Carl Henry’s record store (known as Carl’s Diggins: The Best of the Blues) and quickly became one of its most frequent customers\, buying the 45 records of Muddy\, Little Walter and Jimmy Reed. He got hooked on guitar and harmonica\, and it was in 1970\, that Nardella and his two friends John Nicholas and Fran Christina drove to Michigan for the Ann Arbor Blues Festival. Nardella and Nicholas began performing as a duo and then as a band known as the Boogie Brothers\, along with Christina on drums\, and Sara Brown on bass. They were featured on the ‘72 Ann Arbor Blues & Jazz Festival album on Atlantic\; backing Boogie Woogie Red and Johnny Shines. Steve has continued to play the blues and roots rock & roll with various musicians passing through his band\, and by now he's a legend with a repertoire like few other musicians\, in Michigan or anywhere else.

SUMMARY:Performance:Boy & Bear
DESCRIPTION:When your first EP wins you accolades like Rolling Stone’s Artist To Watch of 2010 and Triple J’s Unearthed Artist of the Year\, not to mention wooing fans the world over—including the likes of Laura Marling and Marcus Mumford\, no less—there’s only one thing you can do for your debut album: confound expectations. After the phenomenal success of the EP \"With Emperor Antarctica\"—which transformed the Sydney quintet from promising new comers to bonafide international sensations—a search for new ideas and wisdom led  Boy & Bear to American producer Joe Chiccarelli\, whose work with acts like My Morning Jacket\, The Strokes and The Shins has earned him a reputation as someone who is both sympathetic to a band’s organic sound and able to add another dimension. Holing up with Chiccarelli in Nashville’s world-renowned Blackbird Studios in early 2011\, Boy & Bear set about exploding their musical horizons. “We wanted to work with someone who could push us\,” says Dave Hosking. “Someone who could take us out of our comfort zone and add a real rock/pop flavor to things. We wanted this to be more than just a ‘new folk’ record\, because we really feel like we’ve out-grown that tag.” None of which is to suggest that Boy & Bear have completely abandoned the sound that won them comparisons to Fleet Foxes and Mumford and Sons\, earning them a place as leaders of a new global folk movement. On songs like “House and Farm” and the gorgeous mid-album interlude\, “Percy Warner Park”\, Boy & Bear deliver aching harmonies and delicate acoustic textures with effortless aplomb\, but in Boy & Bear's new music\, those quietly intense gems are part of a bigger picture.

SUMMARY:Performance:Matt the Electrician
DESCRIPTION:Matt the Electrician indeed used to be an electrician\, but now he's focusing instead on a music career that has spanned the course of two decades\, a dozen records\, and literally thousands of shows. It’s folk music for a modern age\, rooted in lyrics that focus on the realities and challenges of the 21st century as opposed to\, say\, the old-school thrill of hopping trains.“I don’t generally write mining disaster songs\,”he explains. “I tend to write about things that have happened to me and my family. Songs about the small things in life\, which\, to me\, are really the big things.” Throughout 2015 and 2016\, he’s releasing a string of 7-inch vinyl singles. Years before moving to Texas and launching his career as a boundary-breaking\, working-class folk musician\, Matt Sever grew up on the West Coast. His parents\, a union carpenter and a seamstress\, played John Denver and Pete Seeger songs on the family record player\, and Matt spent his earliest years surrounded by the things that would later fill his own music: acoustic guitars\, timeless melodies\, lyrics that celebrated the joys and heartaches of everyday life\, and above all else a strong work ethic.

DESCRIPTION:As lead vocalist of the acclaimed bluegrass band NewFound Road\, which appeared at The Ark and the Ann Arbor Folk Festival\, Tim Shelton was praised by Allmusic.com for his \"trademark rich\, chesty baritone roar.\" Now he's traded in the safety of a successful bluegrass career for new directions. Tim comes to town with \"Jackson Browne Revisited\,\" a new album of the great rock songwriter's tunes done roots-style. \"I'm nervous in a way\,\" Tim says\, \"but honestly I've thought about it long and hard for a long time now. ... I just want to make music that isn't necessarily traditional bluegrass. I love it\, but I also love James Taylor\, Jackson Browne\, hard rock\, traditional country—all of those. Just music.\" Tim is not saying goodbye to bluegrass\, but\, he says\, \"I just don't want to be pigeonholed. I don't know why I want to do other kinds of music\, but it's just what I feel—and at the end of the day\, that's what I have to do.\"\n\nRescheduled from 6/16/16.

SUMMARY:Performance:Hurray for the Riff Raff
DESCRIPTION:Hurray For The Riff Raff is Alynda Lee Segarra\, but in many ways it’s much more than that: it’s a young woman leaving her indelible stamp on the American folk tradition. If you’re listening to her new album\, \"Small Town Heroes\,\" odds are you’re part of the riff raff\, and these songs are for you. “It’s grown into this bigger idea of feeling like we really associate with the underdog\,” says Alynda. A 26-year-old of Puerto Rican descent whose slight frame belies her commanding voice\, she grew up in the Bronx\, where she developed an early appreciation for doo-wop and Motown from the neighborhood’s longtime residents. At 17 she hitched her way to the West Coast\, then roamed the south before ultimately settling in New Orleans. “The community I found in New Orleans was open and passionate. The young artists were really inspiring to me\,” she says. “Apathy wasn’t a part of that scene. And then the year after I first visited\, Katrina happened\, and I went back and saw the pain and hardship that all of the people who lived there had gone through. It made we want to straighten out my life and not wander so much. The city gave had given me an amazing gift with music\, and it made me want to settle there and be a part of it and help however I could.” Her songs belong to no particular time or place\, but rather to all of us—to the riff raff. Norton Records artists Daddy Long Legs open.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Tallest Man on Earth w/sg Lady Lamb
DESCRIPTION:This show is SOLD OUT.\n\nThe Tallest Man on Earth is Swedish songwriter Kristian Matsson\, who has been called Sweden's answer to Bob Dylan. His new album\, \"Dark Bird Is Home\,\" doesn't feel like it came from one time\, one place\, or one tape machine. The songs and sounds were captured in various countries\, studios\, and barns\, and they carry a weather-worn quality\, some dirt and some grit. If you're a fan of The Tallest Man On Earth\, \"Dark Bird\" pays real tribute to the old records you fell for\, and goes new places you're going to love as well. If you're new to The Man ... well\, many would be jealous of your position. You should expect the loudest and proudest sounds yet from The Tallest Man on Earth on album number four\, but also the softest and the lowest. And for the first time The Man is bringing a band to the stage with him. Maine songwriter Lady Lamb (Aly Spaltro) opens.

SUMMARY:Performance:Rita Coolidge
DESCRIPTION:Rita Coolidge's credentials are the stuff of legend. Rita released more than a dozen albums after she was signed to A&M in 1971\, including 1978's multi-platinum \"Anytime... Anywhere.\" Several of her singles would become classics\; \"We're All Alone\,\" \"Higher And Higher\,\" and \"The Way You Do The Things You Do\" all qualify as career songs. She’s performed and recorded with high-profile pals like George Harrison\, Roger Waters\, Robbie Robertson\, Jimmy Buffett\, and her husband\, Kris Kristofferson. During their eight-year union the pair teamed up for a number of hits and was twice named Country Duo of the Year. Rita's \"All Time High\" was the theme for the James Bond thriller \"Octopussy\" and \"Heart Don't Fail Me Now\" (with Lee Greenwood) was used as a recurring theme for the CBS daytime drama \"As The World Turns.\" When the cable music channel VH1 debuted\, she was also one of its original veejays. In the 90s\, her place in popular music secured\, Rita began devoting more time\, energy and talent to other concerns. Her own Cherokee heritage inspired increasing involvement in projects that would benefit or call attention to Native American music\, culture\, and issues. Now\, Rita Coolidge’s impact is undiminished—her voice as pure\, sweet and powerful as ever and her ability to get inside a song honed by experience and overview. \"I guess the fact that I'm still here means I must be doing something right\,\" she laughs. \"It's good to know that people who've liked what I do for all these years still like what I do\, and at the same time it sounds good to people who weren't even born when I started out. And it's especially satisfying because I've made a record that's really true to the style of music I love. How can you ask for more than that?\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Leftover Cuties
DESCRIPTION:Who knows what year it is? Who cares when the songs are this sweet? To call Leftover Cuties retro or throwback would be too easy. Sure\, the music fits beside Billie Holiday\, but it’s also current in its sex appeal\, its sophistication\, its confidence. The Cuties’ music—with upright bass\, accordion\, brushed drums\, and yes\, ukulele—is not slavishly old-timey\, but honors its forebears in the right way\, with melody\, sharp playing\, stylish\, confident\, character-laden singing\, and strong\, honest original songs. When Leftover Cuties chanteuse Shirli McAllen steps to the microphone\, she commands your attention because she’s got something to say\, and a beguiling way of saying it. Their spellbinding first album\, “Places to Go\,” won raves from critics\, and their brilliant sophomore outing\, \"The Spark and the Fire\,\" was all about love: it makes the heart sing\, soar\, ache and burn … often in the same hook. Leftover Cuties are at work on their third album\, so watch out\, world!

DESCRIPTION:They call her Long Tall Marcia Ball\, and she's the one-of-a-kind Queen of Swamp Blues Piano. Marcia Ball grew up in Vinton\, Louisiana\, in the heart of an area overflowing with blues\, zydeco\, and swamp rock. All the female members of her family played the piano. In 1970 Marcia and her first husband were heading for San Francisco\, but their car broke down in Austin\, and that's where she stayed.

Marcia's latest album\, \"The Tattooed Lady and the Alligator Man\,\" is described as \"an irresistible tale of true love at the traveling carnival. It's a story that nobody but Ball could spin\, filled with vivid details\, universal truths\, and a rambunctious sense of fun and desire.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Gaelic Storm
DESCRIPTION:After nearly two decades and more than 3\,000 live shows\, the chart-topping multinational band Gaelic Storm is looking sharper than ever with their latest release\, \"Matching Sweaters.\" As usual\, the new album mixes traditional Irish music with modern influences\, creating a sound that's as wide-ranging as the band's own audience. From bluegrass fans and country cowboys to Deadheads\, rock & rollers\, and Celtic fanatics\, Gaelic Storm has built one of the most diverse fan bases in modern music. \"Matching Sweaters\" helps explain the broad appeal. Rooted in the songwriting of founding members Patrick Murphy and Steve Twigger\, the album moves from drinking songs (\"Another Stupid Drinking Song\") to energetic instrumentals (\"The Narwhaling Cheesehead\") to rootsy pop/rockers (\"Whiskeyed Up and Womaned Out\")\, gluing everything together with the spark and spirit of a band that's spent close to 20 years on the road. Gaelic Storm's music weaves influences from rock\, bluegrass\, Jamaican\, African\, and Middle Eastern music that may surprise those expecting purely traditional Celtic music. They make new Celtic music for today's world! Gaelic Storm's fiddler is local prodigy Kiana June Weber—come on out and welcome her home.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Paperboys
DESCRIPTION:The music of The Paperboys is Mexican son jarocho mixed in with Irish jigs and reels and a good dose of country and bluegrass. The music has healthy servings of ska\, soca\, and African highlife\, and they've been known to throw in a little reggae\, soul\, pop\, and funk. It's mostly acoustic although they also like electric guitars. It's singer-songwriter base\, and it's definitely folk music\, but not in the Kumbaya style. The Paperboys have a deep respect and appreciation for tradition\, but their music rocks hard and is extremely danceable—but that's not to say it can't be mellow and slow and beautiful. It is never dark or angst ridden\, and always full of hop. It's not Jazz\, or heavy metal\, or punk or grunge\, although they love Rush and AC/DC. It is world roots music. It's pop music. It has a tendency to connect people and means a lot to many folks the world over\, and for that The Paperboys are very grateful. They are the only multicultural\, multiethnic\, multigenerational\, multilingual\, multi-instrumental\, genre-bending\, co-ed band you will hear today!

SUMMARY:Performance:Elizabeth Cook
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth Cook didn’t quite know what she was doing. But she knew there were songs\, and they had to get out. Six even years since her critically acclaimed \"Welder\,\" as well as much personal tumult\, there were songs that needed to be born. “I’m slow\, and getting slower\,” laughs the lanky blonde\, unapologetically. “I’m taking my time\, really drilling down. There were nine versions of ‘Methadone Blues.’ I’ve never done that before. I love that entrenchment and dedication—and I wasn’t going to do any less than what needed to be done.” For fans of the Florida-born-and-raised Cook\, a Grand Ole Opry regular\, SiriusXM Outlaw Country hostess\, David Letterman favorite\, and opener for John Prine at The Michigan Theater a few years ago\, \"Exodus of Venus\" may be something of a shock. “There hasn’t been a lot to laugh about\,” confesses the effervescent songwriter who once penned “It Takes Balls To Be A Woman” with equal parts Dolly Parton pluck and Loretta Lynn brio. What hasn't changed is the honesty and emotional depth of one of Nashville's most serious artists.

SUMMARY:Performance:Owen Danoff
DESCRIPTION:D.C. native Owen Danoff wrote and recorded his first song—complete with drums\, bass\, guitar\, and piano—at age 15.  Now an award-winning songwriter with a degree from Berklee College of Music\, Owen has emerged as a multi-talented musician and folk/rock solo artist. Elements of Owen’s music have been likened to that of Paul Simon\, James Taylor\, John Mayer\, and the Wallflowers\, among others_though the end result is all his own.  Owen’s music combines a clear lyrical emphasis in the vein of the songwriters that inspired him with a love for memorable hooks and the energy of rock and roll. Owen’s first full-length album\, \"Twelve Stories\,\" features Owen on both bass and guitar. His recent single \"No Such Thing\" took first prize in American Songwriter's Lyric Writing Contest first prize. Most recently\, Owen was a contestant on Season 10 of NBC’s \"The Voice\,\" reaching the Top 11. After having all four coaches express interest in working with him (Adam Levine\, Christina Aguilera\, Blake Shelton\, Pharrell Williams)\, Owen spent his time working with Adam\, as well as Tori Kelly and Miley Cyrus in the process. Here's a young songwriter on his way to bigger and better things! Singer-songwriter Ken Yates opens.

SUMMARY:Performance:Hot Tuna Acoustic
DESCRIPTION:From their days playing together as teenagers to their current acoustic and electric blues\, probably no one has more consistently led American music for the last 50 years — yes! — than Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady\, the founders and continuing core members of Hot Tuna. The pair began playing together while growing up in the Washington D.C. area\, where Jack’s father was a dentist and Jorma’s father a State Department official. Along the way\, Jorma became committed to the finger-picking guitar style exemplified by the Rev. Gary Davis. In the mid-1960s\, Jorma was asked to audition to play guitar for a new band that was forming in San Francisco\, and the rest became Jefferson Airplane history. But the pair remained loyal to the blues\, jazz\, bluegrass\, and folk influences of the small clubs and larger venues they had learned from years before. This led to an album and a record contract\, all before they decided to name their band Hot Tuna. With that album they launched a project that has continued for more than 35 years\, always finding new and interesting turns in its path forward. In an era in which old bands reunite for one last tour\, Hot Tuna can’t\, because Hot Tuna never broke up. They've turned increasingly toward acoustic roots in recent years\, but two things have never changed: Jorma and Jack still enjoy playing together as much as they did as kids in Washington D.C.\, and there are still many\, many exciting miles yet to travel on the group's musical odyssey. Hot Tuna recently released \"Steady as She Goes\,\" their first new studio album since 1990.

It’s dirty\, in-your-face\, hands-inside-the-vehicle-at-all times rock 'n’ roll. This quintet came to Nashville by way of Detroit\, where they kept their ears to the pavement to blend sounds both new and old\, sounds of legends who’ve walked before\, with a twist of new that is sure to get your feet tapping and hands clapping. Think Jack White with a bit of Radiohead\, Derek Trucks\, and more! This band has a following in Europe\, where MuzikaleVibe in the Netherlands writes: “Occasionally we come across unknown\, but ridiculously good music to which we are very excited about\; such is the case when we found Captain Ivory.”

They play original songs that combine vocals\, guitar\, percussion\, and more\, including cello from Ann Arbor's classically trained Andréa Moreno-Beals.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Lunar Octet and The Lunar Glee Club
DESCRIPTION:The Lunar Octet and The Lunar Glee Club are not different bands but different names for the same legendary band over the years. Because of confusion about whether the band included singers\, the group's name changed midway through its career to The Lunar Octet. No matter you want to call it\, they play highly original and eclectic music drawing on jazz\, Cuban and Puerto Rican salsa\, rock\, African highlife music\, and Brazilian sambas\, forging a vital new sound enriched by these traditions. Almost all of the band's music consists of original compositions involving rich arrangements and strong focus on solo improvisations\, and all of the band members contribute to the compositional process. Since its debut in February 1984\, the band carried its high-energy message to dancers and listeners\, jazz\, R&B\, and rock fans alike. The Lunar Octet and Lunar Glee Club have performed at the Detroit Jazz Festival (five times)\, the Flint Jazz Festival\, the Columbus Arts Festival\, the Lancaster Festival\, the Ann Arbor Art Fair\, the WEMU/Depot Town Winter Jazz Series\, Rusty's Jazz Cafe\, Ann Arbor's Top of the Park\, the Bird of Paradise\, the Del Rio\, Mr. Flood's Party\, the Blind Pig\, the Detroit Festival of the Arts\, Detroit's New Center Park\, Toledo's CityFest\, Toledo's Rib-Off\, and more. They have released four albums.

More than 80 members have passed through Asleep at the Wheel since the band's beginnings\, but founder and frontman Ray Benson's vision of an ongoing and constantly growing tribute to the giants of Western swing\, with generous helpings of country and jump blues\, has stayed fresh. Asleep at the Wheel has won nine Grammy awards and counting\, and they deliver a high-energy show every time they come to The Ark. Come by and pick up a copy of their fabulous Bob Wills tribute album\, \"Still the King.\"

DESCRIPTION:Davina Sowers and the Vagabonds have created a stir on the national music scene with their high-energy live shows\, level A musicianship\, sharp-dressed professionalism\, and Sowers’ commanding stage presence. With influences ranging from Fats Domino and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band to Aretha Franklin and Tom Waits\, the band is converting audiences one show at a time\, from Vancouver to Miami and across Europe. In 2011 Davina released her first full-length\, all-original album\, \"Black Cloud.\" It was awarded 4 1/2 stars from Downbeat. Their next release in 2014\, \"Sunshine\,\" hit number 13 on the Billboard blues chart. DATV’s shows are filled with New Orleans charm\, Memphis soul swagger\, dark theatrical moments that evoke Kurt Weill\, and tender gospel passages\, and Davina herself has been compared to Etta James\, Amy Winehouse\, Janis Joplin\, Billie Holiday\, and Betty Boop\, but comparisons don’t suffice: she's a true original. Davina & The Vagabonds come to Michigan with a great new live album\, \"Nicollet and Tenth.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:The Steel Wheels
DESCRIPTION:The Steel Wheels were last in town to help The Ark celebrate its 50th anniversary\, and their mix of timeless and contemporary embodies a good deal of what we've been about for the past half-century. The Steel Wheels have captured audiences across the country with their heady brew of original soulful mountain music. Based in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia\, this dynamic band marries old-time musical traditions with their own innovative sound. Trent Wagler’s weathered tenor is joined by bell-clear four-part harmonies inspired by a shared Mennonite heritage. Add to this Eric Brubaker’s lively and evocative fiddle\, Brian Dickel’s grounded yet buoyant upright bass\, and Jay Lapp’s signature mandolin style\, and it’s no surprise that The Steel Wheels have conquered the Americana scene\, becoming festival favorites and selling out venues across the country. \"Americana music at its very best!\" said Larry Groce of \"Mountain Stage.\" The values portrayed in the band's music—devotion to roots\, community\, and family—are a way of life for The Steel Wheels\, and this is reflected in everything from production process and booking agency to merchandise and touring.

DESCRIPTION:The music of The Slambovian Circus of Dreams has been variously described as \"hillbilly-Floyd\,\" \"folk-pop\,\" \"alt-country\, roots-rock\,\" and \"surreal Americana\;\" a clear indicator of its singularly indescribable uniqueness. Dancing freely between all existing religious and philosophical mythologies\, the music is uplifting\, empowering\, and a lot of fun. The Slambovians have drawn comparisons to Petty\, The Decemberists\, Dylan\, and Bowie as they feature an otherworldly slide mandolin\, accordion\, cello and styles ranging from dusty Americana ballads to Pink Floyd-esque cinematic anthems. Frontman Joziah Longo (vocals\, guitar and harmonica) has drawn praise for a voice that is \"soothing and bewitching as a snake oil tonic\, \" and \"the entire root system of the Rock Family Tree is embedded in his voice\,\" says The Big Issue UK). This band has been together since the late 1990s\; they settled in Sleepy Hollow\, New York\, and began developing unique shows that have surprised and delighted Ark audiences every time.

To this day he still cites those four musicians as primary influences. Master craftsman and innovator at the same time\, Andy McKee is a virtuoso for our time. Australian blues singer/guitar-slinger Owen Campbell is tonight's special guest.

DESCRIPTION:\"I got a word machine in my head. It's a damn noisy contraption. Constantly running. No 'off' switch\,\" says Ellis Paul. After growing up on a potato farm in northern Maine\, Ellis started writing songs while he was attending Boston College on a track scholarship and was laid up for several months with an injury. He's often called the quintessential New England songwriter\, and he's got a baker's dozen of Boston Music Awards to prove it. Ellis's passionate\, literate character sketches\, delivered in a soaring\, lyrical voice\, have influenced a generation of folksters toward the shamelessly poetic. The Boston Globe calls Ellis \"literate\, provocative\, urbanely romantic.\" Whatever you call him\, he's one of the major songwriters of our time. Ellis's latest\, \"Chasing Beauty\,\" was produced by Kristian Bush of the country band Sugarland. Says Absolute Punk\, which you might not think would be reviewing Ellis's albums: \"Everyone can relate to Ellis Paul and his songs\, and for that reason he continues to be a national treasure.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:The Honeycutters
DESCRIPTION:The Honeycutters of Asheville\, NC\, are fueled by the powerful songwriting and vocals of founder Amanda Anne Platt. With songs that are honest and relatable\, part chagrin and part hope\, Platt’s voice carries a timeless appeal. They come to Michigan with a new album\, \"On the Ropes\,\" that has drawn raves. Craig Havighurst of Music City Roots writes that Amanda “has a voice that’s complex\, sweet and aching. Even more potently\, she writes songs that folks are citing as up there with the best of the field\, such as Mary Gauthier and Lucinda Williams.\" In both Amanda's simple compositions and honest delivery\, it’s easy to hear the influence of country legends such as Hank Williams\, Patsy Cline\, or Loretta Lynn\, for which Amanda credits growing up listening to her father’s extensive record collection every Saturday morning. Despite her love for classic country\, she cites Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty as major influences and her songwriting carries a wit and an edge that plants her firmly in her generation. \"New South Rock\" band The Vegabonds open.

SUMMARY:Performance:Leon Russell
DESCRIPTION:The heavily bearded and musically one-of-a-kind Leon Russell was a session keyboardist and producer who worked with Bob Dylan\, Jerry Lee Lewis\, Frank Sinatra\, the Rolling Stones\, Herb Alpert\, Eric Clapton\, and just about everyone else in between. He stepped out on his own in the 1970s with a swampy\, gravelly Southern-psychedelia fusion sound and became one of the top-grossing concert acts in the world. Russell had a country alter ego named Hank Wilson\, and his pen produced a string of roots rock classics including his own hit \"Tight Rope.\" Back when rock was at its best\, it contained a little bit of everything: pop\, jazz\, R&B\, country\, soul\, gospel\, novelty music\, and more—and it was often Leon Russell who filled up the pot and stirred it. Tonight's show offers a rare chance to meet Leon in the flesh—special VIP tickets are available.

SUMMARY:Performance:Watching For Foxes
DESCRIPTION:”We started out playing sad\, indie-folk songs\,\" say the members of Watching for Foxes\, who got together as friends in the small town of Fremont\, Michigan. \"We drew a lot from contemporary folk artists like Mumford and Sons and cats like that. We still love that music\, but as our lineup grew and solidified\, we were able to included many more of our diverse influences and make a sound that we like to think is all our own. We have elements of roots rock\, folk-rock\, and indie-rock in our sound\, and I think we've created a really cool little niche for ourselves that will serve us well in the future\; more importantly\, it reflects who we all are\, and who inspires us\, in a much more complete way.” Watching for Foxes has toured Michigan and the Midwest\, and with the release of their full-length debut\, \"Undone Bird\,\" this is a band of six that's ready for bigger things. Songwriter and Ann Arbor native Katie Pederson opens.

SUMMARY:Performance:Gibson Brothers
DESCRIPTION:The Gibson Brothers are the bluegrass duo of Eric and Leigh Gibson\, from Ellenburg Depot\, New York\, in the hardscrabble lands along the Quebec border. They've gotten widespread recognition for their deep and realistic original songwriting\, which grows organically out of the community and the experiences in which the brothers have taken part. There's beauty but also pain in the vivid storytelling of their songs. But the Gibsons also fit perfectly into the great tradition of brother duets with their ringing\, instinctive harmonies. Says Michael Eck of No Depression: \"To say they've got the classic brother duet thing down is an understatement\; they own it.\" Their latest album\, \"Brotherhood\,\" explores the world of bluegrass brother duet classics. This duo has been cleaning up at bluegrass awards shows these days\, and if you're wondering who the heirs apparents to the bluegrass greats might be ... well\, come on by!

SUMMARY:Performance:Altan
DESCRIPTION:Altan\, named for Loch Altan in Ireland's County Donegal\, has arguably had a wider impact on audiences over the quarter century than any other traditional Irish band. Their dynamic and warm live performances mix the most touching old Irish songs with hard-hitting reels and jigs\, and the band members' interest in and sheer enjoyment of each other musically is apparent even to audience members new to the Irish tradition. For the Irish music enthusiast\, Altan has a treasure trove of brilliant moves to offer: the mix of sounds from Donegal with outside influences\, the sheer virtuosity of the players\, the beauty\, delicate singing\, and down-to-earth charm of singer and fiddler Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh. Anywhere they go\, a concert by Altan is the Irish music event of the year. Popmatters calls the band's latest album\, \"The Widening Gyre\,\" \"a defining moment for Altan.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:The Gothard Sisters
DESCRIPTION:Over the course of nearly 1\,000 shows since they formed as a Celtic band in 2006\, The Gothard Sisters—who truly are sisters—have become internationally recognized as multi-instrumentalist Celtic-influenced folk musicians\, songwriters\, and performer. Beginning their career by playing for tips at a local farmer’s market in the Pacific Northwest\, now the sisters regularly perform more than 120 shows a year nationally and internationally.  Their special brand of Celtic-inspired original music pays respect to the older traditions of folk and classical music\, while reintroducing them to a modern audience through beautiful new arrangements.  Although much of the sisters’ inspiration comes with a distinct Celtic flair\, hints of their western American heritage can be heard in what Irish Central calls “an earthiness that gives the songs a lively\, approachable\, down-home sound.” In addition to their musical endeavors\, Greta\, Willow\, and Solana are highly trained in competitive Irish dance\, bringing the exciting rhythms of Ireland to their live shows through dance\, music\, song\, and storytelling.

DESCRIPTION:Now in his sixth decade of performing\, Bill Staines tells heartfelt stories in song of places he's been and people he's met. Bill's songs have turned into folk standards\, running through the repertoires of several generations of performers including Jerry Jeff Walker\, Grandpa Jones\, Fairport Convention\, Priscilla Herdman\, Gordon Bok\, Aiofe Clancy\, and Peter\, Paul and Mary. He's a champion yodeler\, a wit to match the standup world's best\, a guitarist with a unique style (a southpaw\, he plays a right-handed guitar upside down)\, and a musician with a gift for instantly memorable tunes that are liable to turn into singalongs at any time. Says Nanci Griffith (for whom Staines's \"Roseville Fair\" has been a longtime staple): \"Bill Staines has been my hero since 1977. He carries on where Woody left off—carrying on the tradition of stories and characters you wish you knew.\"

All share vocals and write songs. Bonnie delivers additional beats via footstomps on plywood\, her stockinged feet doing near jigs as her hands\, encased in antique leather gloves\, rub silver nickel against corrugated metal. This Nederland\, Colorado\, quintet falls into the pocket of a groove containing elements of gypsy\, rock\, Celtic\, alt-country and folk. The Indie Acoustic Music Project simply labeled their sound \"progressive edge.\" It’s as good a label as any to convey what Dango Rose has described as their mission: \"to close the gap of separation between us through the eternal revelry of song and dance.\" Elephant Revival also shares a commitment to responsible stewardship of the planet and its inhabitants\, working with organizations such as the Conscious Alliance\, Calling All Crows\, Trees Water & People\, and other nonprofits supporting humanitarian causes. Their very name was chosen out of empathy for a pair of zoo pachyderms who\, upon being separated after 16 years\, died on the same day. In the words of the rather unsmiling New York Times: \"If this doesn't make you smile\, something is wrong with you.\" The fast-rising acoustic Oshkosh trio Dead Horses arrive with new music as special guests.

SUMMARY:Performance:Fred Eaglesmith Traveling Steam Show
DESCRIPTION:Fred Eaglesmith is Ontario's roots-country original! There are other songwriters who populate their creations with small-time crooks\, small-town loners\, and working-class heroes. But Fred Eaglesmith's songs stand out for their edge of desperation and their raucous yet bemused humor—and for the incredible energy and on-the-edge quality of his live shows. Circulating on tour from his Ontario farm\, Fred harks back to an earlier era of roots music with his raw\, driving country soul. Best of all\, Fred's 20th album\, \"Tambourine\,\" draws on the spirit of pure 1960s rock and roll. He comes to town with his band The Traveling Steam Show\, which has lately jelled as a unit to a degree reminiscent of his legendary band of yore\, The Flying Squirrels.

SUMMARY:Performance:Olivia Millerschin
DESCRIPTION:Clever and witty\, melodic and musically quirky as ever\, Olivia Millerschin is feeling a bit “Over The Weather” these days\, infusing her latest EP with all the colorful elements (indie\, folk\, soul) and wry turns of phrase that made her self-produced debut “Yes. No. Maybe So.” so popular and infectious\, leading to its nominations for three 2014 Detroit Music Awards and radio play nationwide. Having toured with Teddy Geiger\, Tyler Hilton\, Orla Gartland\, Ryan Cabrera\, and Howie Day\, Olivia has had pretty busy year. Not so busy though\, to keep her from winning a John Lennon Songwriting Award\, making the quarterfinals on the NBC reality show \"America’s Got Talent\,\" and embarking on her own 40-city\, cross-country college tour. Olivia has toured with Teddy Geiger\, Tyler Hilton\, Howie Day\, and Ryan Cabrera. She's making her Ark debut with an album release show\, and all we have to say is: watch out\, world!

SUMMARY:Performance:An Acoustic Evening with John Hiatt
DESCRIPTION:John Hiatt has been called the American Elvis Costello. His remarkably fertile and consistent songwriting career dates back to the New Wave era and has passed through phases of country\, blues\, Americana\, and more without losing its basic flavor. To put it simply\, there's no finer wordsmith in American rock and roll\, and few other artists in any genre whose songs reward repeated hearings to such a degree. Maybe that's why John Hiatt is one of the most popular and durable concert draws around\, not only in the U.S. but all over northern Europe\, where he's inspired several tribute bands. This is a rare solo show from John\, and a still rarer show in a small venue—the perfect place to go deeply into the music of one of the greats of American music.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Ballroom Thieves
DESCRIPTION:With a slow\, deliberate build\, the Ballroom Thieves make their presence known onstage immediately as the first chord is struck\, transforming any size room\, whether it be a large ballroom or a small club\, into a remarkably intimate environment. Formed in 2011\, The Ballroom Thieves take the sincere\, narrative blueprint of folk music and infuse it with the attitude of rock\, the soul of blues\, and the sweat and fervor of a revival tent. That spirit makes its way into both their recorded music as well as their live performances\, as Martin Earley (guitar\, vocals)\, Devin Mauch (percussion\, vocals)\, and Calin Peters (cello\, vocals) attack their instruments and harmonies with the same energy onstage as in the studio. The Thieves' new album\, \"A Wolf in the Doorway\,\" finds the trio taking the very idea of \"roots\" and creating ways to make its sound progress and its encompassing spirit grow.

SUMMARY:Performance:Ian Hunter & The Rant Band
DESCRIPTION:Ian Hunter was a legend of rock music\, first as the frontman of Mott the Hoople\, then with a fabulous solo career in the 1970s and beyond. But\, as always\, while proud of his past achievements\, Ian would prefer to focus on the future. “To me\, music is holy\,\" he asserts\, adding that \"for the first fifteen years of my life\, I had no idea what I was here for. But then Elvis came out and it was\, \"Oh\, that’s what I am here for.\" Rock 'n' roll got me out and gave me a great life and I don't know what I would have done without it. It's all I know and my identity is all tied up with it.\" Ian Hunter’s latest studio album\, \"Fingers Crossed\,\" unveils ten new\, self-penned songs including his much-anticipated homage to David Bowie\, \"Dandy.\" Recorded at HOBO Studios in New Jersey\, the record features his magnificent Rant Band and is the follow-up to 2012’s acclaimed \"When I’m President.\"

DESCRIPTION:Bluegrass. Swing. Hot jazz. Prewar blues. Southern soul. New Orleans funk. The Dustbowl Revival is what you could call an American roots orchestra with eight full-time members — and they play it all\, mashing the sounds of traditional American music into a genre-hopping\, time-bending dance party that coaxes new fire out of familiar coal. This isn’t a throwback band. It’s a celebration of the sounds that have kept America moving for more than a century\, performed with all the flair of a medicine show and rooted in the sweat and swagger of a juke joint song swap.

DESCRIPTION:With sales of three million albums worldwide\, the Verve Pipe was one of Michigan rock and roll's great success stories of the 1990s. Formed in East Lansing\, the band gained a following for its textured rock songs distinguished by inventive arrangements\, soul-searching lyrics and layered vocals. Lead singer Brian Vander Ark has gone onto a solo career and become an Ark favorite with his songs of family\, love\, and loss. But after being approached to submit a song for a compilation album called \"Calling All Kids\,\" the Verve Pipe reunited to record their award-nominated kids' CD\, \"A Family Album.\" Now the creative spark touched off by those sessions has led to more Verve Pipe music for adults as well. The Verve Pipe has had a reputation for dazzling live shows from the start\, and now they're back\, up close and personal\, at The Ark!

David Wilcox is a singer-songwriter whose music navigates a path through the confusion and pain\, the emotional static of modern life. \"I'm drawn to artists who disclose something about themselves and let you in their world\,\" David says\, and to a large extent he's one of them -- yet contained within his warm voice and effortless guitar playing is a more general kind of hope\, a life-affirming message that anyone can understand. David Wilcox believes that the right song at the right time changes people’s lives. He comes to Michigan with a new release of original songs\, \"Blaze.\"

One part jazz singer\, effortlessly transitioning octaves\, one part blues shouter\, soaring over the band like a clarion call\, and one part folk singer\, rousing them all together in song. The instruments and the bedrock of the band may come from bluegrass\, but the music that Lindsay Lou & The Flatbellys present can best be described as Americana. This is music that’s caught between the pull of the past and the push of the beckoning future\, ready to leap forward bursting with new ideas and youthful energy. Says Popmatters: \"The catchy and clever riffs recall the sharp 'popgrass' stylings of groups like The Punch Brothers and Joy Kills Sorrow.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Yonder Mountain String Band
DESCRIPTION:Yonder Mountain String Band has always played music by its own set of rules. With their traditional lineup of instruments\, the band may look like a traditional bluegrass band at first glance\, but they’ve created music that transcends any genre. The Colorado-based quintet has crisscrossed the country over the past 17 years playing music reflecting varied influences from the bluegrass of Del McCoury\, Jimmy Martin\, Bill Monroe\, and the Osborne Brothers as well as the punk rock of Bad Religion\, Black Flag\, and the Dead Kennedys. Somewhere in between these two tent poles are early 20th-century classical composers and alternative rock bands like Grandaddy and Postal Service. It’s all funneled through the band’s unique chemistry\, honed since the members first met at an informal club performance in 1998. Fans are drawn to Yonder’s anything-goes attitude\, its humor and passion about music\, and its ability to stretch out live. Yonder Mountain's music is bluegrass for the whole world\, acoustic tunes filled with dazzling chops\, and it’s fun to boot. Maybe that's why this band has outlasted almost all of the others in the first wave of bluegrass-oriented jam bands. Minnesota roots/bluegrass band Pert Near Sandstone is special guest!

DESCRIPTION:Parsonsfield is a five-piece alt/folk band from Northampton\, MA that infuses a rowdy\, rock 'n' roll spirit into its bluegrass and folk influences\, blowing away any preconception of what you think banjos and mandolins should sound like. They weren't always called Parsonsfield (the band started out as Poor Old Shine\, but changed in July 2014). The new name was born of the inspired experiences recording two albums in beautiful\, rural Parsonsfield\, Maine\, at Great North Sound Society. \"We owe a lot to what happened there\,\" said Freeman of their time at Great North. \"Our sound really changed when Erik joined ... it pulled us from being a more traditional string band to something that felt much more uniquely ourselves. It made us the band we are today.\" Rock-and-roll rootsters Laney Jones & The Spirits are special guests.

SUMMARY:Performance:The David Mayfield Parade
DESCRIPTION:If you’ve seen David Mayfield perform with The Avett Brothers\, Mumford & Sons\, or Jessica Lea Mayfield\, or at Bonnaroo (or at The Ark)—or as MC at the Ann Arbor Folk Festival—you’ve caught the charisma\, the heart\, and the comedy\, and you're likely ready for more. With eclectic\, cinematic songs that stir up images of the old West and urban cityscapes\, the singer-songwriter-bandleader takes chances musically and delves into adventurous production while still tapping into bluegrass roots. David's live shows are lively and sometimes comical. He grew up playing bass and touring with his family’s bluegrass band. As a teenager he established himself as a hot picker\, collecting national awards for his dexterity on guitar and mandolin. Conscious of being not just a musician\, but an entertainer—something his father instilled in him in the family band—he certainly makes an impression live. But it’s the strength of his songwriting and musicianship\, combined with that charm and personality\, that keep audiences coming back again and again.

SUMMARY:Performance:Adrian Legg
DESCRIPTION:Guitar gods in training\, take notice. Voted Guitarist of the Decade by Guitarist magazine and Best Acoustic Fingerstylist four years in a row by readers of Guitar Player\, Adrian Legg dazzles audiences with an unclassifiable mixture of country\, jazz\, folk\, rock\, and classical styles. For all his rapid-fire playing\, though\, Adrian never loses sight of melodies and their power to move us. And on top of that\, he's a tall tale teller of the first order\, with a dry sense of humor that would be reason enough in itself to come to one of his concerts. Says Newsday: \"Unlike Richard Thompson or Robert Fripp\, in whose league he belongs\, Legg seems never to have been seduced by rock. But unlike Leo Kottke or Ry Cooder\, whom he also occasionally resembles\, Adrian Legg is an adventurer\, not an archivist.\" He is\, quite simply\, one of the greatest guitarists in the world\, and perhaps the very least heralded among that group.

SUMMARY:Performance:Suzanne Vega
DESCRIPTION:Suzanne Vega is a pioneer of smart contemporary folk music\, an American singer/songwriter of rare poetic genius. With her sultry voice\, she seamlessly joins her poetry and contemporary folk song with a sound that is unique and identifiable to her alone.She's known for the hit \"Luka\" and also for a great song called \"Tom's Diner\" about the same diner that recurred in the \"Seinfeld\" television show. Thom Jurek of Allmusic.com calls Suzanne's latest\, \"Tales from the Realm of the Queen of Pentacles\,\" \"a welcome return by an artist who has remained stubbornly true to herself and only records when she has something new to say.\" It's hard to imagine a better meeting of venue and songwriter than The Ark!

SUMMARY:Performance:Jo Serrapere & the LaFawndas
DESCRIPTION:Jo Serrapere (sarah-pear)\, a songwriter from Detroit\, Michigan\, started playing guitar at 23 when seeking out lessons from Delta blues guitarist Shari Kane. Jo’s music is original while always reflecting her love of American roots music. Her eclectic writing and performance fuses elements of various modern and traditional folk music\, classic country\, old-time and electric blues\, garage rock\, surf\, swing and alt-country. With her new band\, the LaFawndas\, Jo’s writing is heavily inspired by the music of Wanda Jackson. She moves from gogo boots to cowgirl boots with a wry social observation of the present times. Sometimes dark and heartbreaking\, but mostly fun and satirical\, they change up their instruments and musical styles with ease. From classic country to swing to garage rock\, Jo’s original material often sounds very familiar\, yet with a fresh\, smart voice. The LaFawndas are Drew Howard (pedal steel\, guitars\, Dobro\, banjo)\, Dave Roof (bass\, guitars\, trumpet\, organ\, backing vocals)\, Laura Ann Bates (piano\, organ\, bass\, backing vocals) and Stuart Tucker (drums and percussion). They come to The Ark with a new album\, “Dollar Store Nation.”

SUMMARY:Performance:Gonzalo Bergara Quartet
DESCRIPTION:The all-acoustic Gonzalo Bergara Quartet plays a modern variant of 1930’s Django Reinhardt–inspired gypsy jazz. Composer and lead guitarist Gonzalo Bergara mixes a cascade of arpeggios with the sounds of Paris and his native Argentina. His first CD\, \"Porteña Soledad\,\" was Editor’s Pick in Guitar Player\, and Vintage Guitar called it a \"masterpiece.\" The Gonzalo Bergara Quartet consists of Gonzalo Bergara on lead guitar\, Jeffrey Radaich on rhythm guitar\, Leah Zeger on violin\, and Brian Netzley on upright bass. The music is heavily influenced by Django Reinhardt and the Hot Club of France\, as well as the traditional jazz and music of Bergara's true home\, Buenos Aires. \"Gonzalo Bergara’s music exists in a way that very little music does\,\" says one writer. \"He has lavished such care on every phrase\, built each arrangement with such lapidary precision and pared away anything extraneous\, the music becomes sculpture. It has weight\, density\, gravity. This is serious ... and deeply moving.

SUMMARY:Performance:Patty Griffin
DESCRIPTION:Patty Griffin's songs are beautiful\, intense\, and challenging. A Maine native and a Boston coffeehouse sensation\, Patty headed south to Austin\, and her work combines Southern roots sounds and Northeastern poetry. Her elegant lyrics\, bluesy alto vocals\, and melodic guitar style aim directly at the deepest emotions of her listeners\, and top artists on the country and acoustic side—like Emmylou Harris and even Kelly Clarkson—keep close tabs on what she's up to. Emmylou says\, \"I would go anywhere\, any time\, to hear Patty Griffin sing her extraordinary songs.\" Patty can rock a bit\, she can sing straight gospel (and win a Best Traditional Gospel Grammy for it)\, she can do the sparest and most minimal kind of folk singer-songwriter performance. But what really distinguishes Patty Griffin is a body of deeply poetic songs\, personal in unexpected ways\, that can stand with the output of anyone else in the business. Patty's latest is called \"Servant of Love\,\" and it's rooted in the mysteries of the natural world\, the writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Walt Whitman\, and human relationships to nature\, society\, and time. As the album travels through different musical terrains—folk and blues\, rock and jazz\, ancient sounds and modern—a spare\, organic quality persists. It's profound stuff\, from a songwriter who has the chops to pull it off. Kentucky-born singer-songwriter Joan Shelley\, who was recently featured on NPR's \"Fresh Air\" and has been compared to Sandy Denny and Vashti Bunyan\, opens the show.

SUMMARY:Performance:Mandolin Orange w/ sg My Bubba
DESCRIPTION:Mandolin Orange\, writes Ashleigh Phillips of Independent Weekly\, crafts \"simple songs that go beyond chord progressions and vocal harmonies\, leading somehow toward something pure. Using acoustic and electric guitars\, mandolin and a hand-me-down fiddle\, Andrew Marlin and Emily Frantz allure with a heartworn sensibility.\" This North Carolina duo has shared stages with Rosanne Cash\, Chatham County Line\, the Steep Canyon Rangers and Abigail Washburn\,\" and they made a splash at the 2015 Ann Arbor Folk Festival. Mandolin Orange's original songs are drenched in a mastery of classic country\, blues\, and rock\, but they are both personal and contemporary. It takes genius to be simple\, and this young duo has that kind of genius. They come to Michigan with a new release\, \"Blindfaller.\"

Based on real-life experiences\, members of our local LGBTQ+ community will share their stories and hearts.  The performances are funny\, witty\, sad\, infuriating\, uplifting\, and touching.  Join us as we laugh\, cry\, and shine a spotlight on hidden pain and delightful surprises.\n\nThe performance honors the resilience of  LGBTQ+ youth because they need strength and support to survive and where possible\, thrive\, in our society. Here in Washtenaw County\, we would like to believe that we live in an accepting\, affirming\, and diverse community where our young people are exempt from marginalization. But the reality is that teens today\, even in our liberal-leaning Ann Arbor\, still face dangers at schools\, among peers\, and sometimes\, within their own families.

SUMMARY:Performance:Richard Shindell
DESCRIPTION:Richard Shindell is a New Yorker living in Argentina: a craftsman and a real wizard of song. He's played for coins in the Paris subway\, and he's studied for the priesthood. His gift for profound storytelling songs drew him into the world of folk music. Richard Shindell champions the downtrodden\, exalts the disaffected\, skewers prejudice\, war\, and religious intolerance. He steps into and fully inhabits the various personalities his songs create—some of them female. In the words of No Depression\, \"Shindell tells great stories with an eye for critical detail while never losing sight of the big picture. He works a well-worn stretch of singer-songwriter pavement\, but his wonderfully spiritual lyrical sense and intimate compositions ultimately distinguish him.\" The Valley Advocate in Massachusetts has called Richard Shindell \"the thinking man's folk singer.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Seth Walker
DESCRIPTION:If you're looking for roots music with the grit of Delbert McClinton (who's a big fan) and the detail and insight of Robert Cray\, give Seth Walker a try! This North Carolina-born bluesman has been honing his craft for more than a decade. The son of classical musicians\, Seth grew up on a commune. He played the cello and switched to the guitar\, then to the blues\, after a DJ uncle introduced him to the likes of T-Bone Walker and Snooks Eaglin. The All Music Guide's J. Poet wrote that Seth \"uses the blues as a backbone for tunes that will equally please roots\, Americana\, folk\, pop\, and blues fans. He's a fine guitarist\, but his playing never calls attention to itself\; it's always placed in service of the song and the lyrics crackle with insight and subtle wit.\" Perhaps Country Standard Time said it best: \"If you subscribe to the Big Tent theory of Americana\, then Seth Walker —with his blend of blues\, gospel\, pop\, R&B\, rock\, and a dash country—just might be your poster boy.\" Seth was the MC for both nights of the 2014 Ann Arbor Folk Festival. He comes to Michigan with a new release\, \"Gotta Get Back.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Blue Rodeo w/sg Devin Cuddy
DESCRIPTION:In the beginning critics scrambled to describe Blue Rodeo’s sound\, comparing them to everyone from the Flying Burrito Brothers to the Eagles and the Beatles. Today\, Blue Rodeo is compared to no one. They are the standard to which other bands are now compared. Ever-evolving\, Blue Rodeo’s creativity has endured a lifetime of challenges\, and the band continues to make music that all Canadians can call their own\, and that has defined the idea of alternative country for the whole world. In 2014 Blue Rodeo hit the road and showcased their In Our Nature album with a lengthy tour across the country featuring two sets and almost three hours of music. Fans and critics alike were astounded by the muscle and passion the band continues to possess 27 years after the release of their debut\, Outskirts\, in 1987. Here's a rare intimate chance to hear a legendary presence on the Canadian and world scene.

By staging a fabulous show\, naturally\, with Bobby himself in the lead. YPT’s very own local\, young people take center stage.

SUMMARY:Performance:Jonatha Brooke
DESCRIPTION:As half of the charismatic and jazzy folk duo The Story in the early 1990s\, Jonatha Brooke gained a strong following that stuck with her through the dissolution of that duo and her subsequent efforts to find a place for her music in the increasingly pigeonhole-crazy music industry. Finally she began releasing albums on her own Bad Dog label and honing her songwriting chops. Jonatha has been called a Rickie Lee Jones for modern times\, and she's a songwriter who's constanly growing. \"Brooke's voice continues to be a marvel of grace and dexterity\,\" says Performing Songwriter\, and The New Yorker calls her \"charming and very funny\" and \"a seasoned musician with a beautiful voice.\" Jonatha is coming to Michigan with new music\, so come and hear what this Ark favorite has been up to lately!

SUMMARY:Performance:The Stray Birds
DESCRIPTION:Drawing upon the richness of American folk music traditions\, the signature power of the Stray Birds' sound lies in outstanding songwriting spun with a stirring subtlety and grace. The Stray Birds were born of a compelling collaboration between two unique writers and vocalists— the pure\, luxurious voice of Maya de Vitry and Oliver Craven's richness of tone and depth of delivery\, grounding their sound in the unshakeable groove of bassist Charles Muench. Their full-length debut\, \"The Stray Birds\,\" was lauded by radio stations and listeners across the country and named to the Top 10 Folk/Americana Releases of the year by NPR\, and they come to Michigan with a compelling new release\, \"Magic Fire.\" This is a young trio with a unique vision married to a deep reverence for song.

DESCRIPTION:John Paul White returns to the road this fall in support of Beulah\, his first solo effort in nearly a decade. See below for a complete list of dates.The new album\, out now on White’s own Single Lock Records\, continues to garner extensive critical acclaim:\n\n“A wise\, entrancing and meticulous bit of Southern folk…for White\, this is a return to self. If The Civil Wars invited listeners to confuse their characters with the singers\, he is now making clear where his songs come from. It’s bracing to hear the return of a voice many have missed in a form few have heard.”–NPR First Listen\n\n“A wise\, entrancing and meticulous bit of Southern folk…for White\, this is a return to self.

DESCRIPTION:Born in Flint and by now a Michigan institution\, Mr. B (Mark Braun) is a rare living link to the early days of boogie woogie\, having learned directly from legends like Little Brother Montgomery and Blind John Davis. Each year he stops in at The Ark for a Thanksgiving weekend concert\, and it always brings something new from this local treasure. Mr. B often brings in musicians from around southeast Michigan and beyond for a boogie and jazz blowout to kick off the holiday season with a big dose of boogie woogie joy. You may think every town has a Mr. B\, but you would be very\, very wrong!

SUMMARY:Performance:Gemini
DESCRIPTION:An Ark show by Gemini is a Thanksgiving weekend family tradition in Michigan! Gemini is the much-loved duo of Sandor and Laszlo Slomovits. They've been performing since 1973 and are now playing music for the third—or is it fourth?—generation of young fans and families. They write and perform acoustic music for children and families\, celebrating with their audiences the warmth\, fun\, and joy of family life. A Gemini concert is a kinetic event\, filled with rousing singalongs\, hand motion tunes\, folk tales\, and music from around the world. \"If the Pied Piper had been twins\, chances are he would have been Gemini\,\" says the Detroit News. Since 1979 San and Laz have released numerous recordings for adults and children and families. These recordings have won a number of awards including ones from Parents' Choice Magazine\, the American Library Association\, the National Parenting Publications (NAPPA)\, and the Wolf Trap Institute for Early Learning Through the Arts.

SUMMARY:Performance:Billy Strings
DESCRIPTION:Incendiary American roots guitarist Billy Strings taps into the vein of the earliest bluegrass music\, back when bluegrass was a rough-and-tumble art form pouring out of the Appalachian mountains\, made with great virtuosity and huge attitude. And he brings it into the present day with incredible musical intensity. Drenched in sweat\, grimacing like a banshee\, howling like a bluegrass berserker\, and picking with such ferocity that he’s been known to break three strings in one song\, 23-year-old guitarist and singer Billy Strings could have tumbled out of coal country in the old mountains\, tattoos and all\, but actually hails from Michigan. In each show\, he seems to try to break through to new levels of musicianship. Billy has relocated from Michigan to Nashville\, formed a new band\, and has been working on original songs to match his his incredible instrumental talent. Come welcome him back to the Mitten!

SUMMARY:Performance:Jen Cass
DESCRIPTION:Born to unusually hip parents in the suburbs of Detroit\,  singer-songwriter Jen Cass was raised on a healthy mix of folk music\, homegrown vegetables\, spontaneous dancing\, black licorice and Motown. Jen writes beautifully crafted songs that draw comparisons to songwriting legends Bob Dylan\, Mary Chapin Carpenter\, Indigo Girls\, and Dar Williams\, as well as playwright Eugene O'Neill. In the words of Suzanne Glass of Indie-Music.com\, “Cass’ songs are lyrical gems. She weaves fables with her words that would make Aesop jealous.” Jen has appeared twice at the Kerrville New Folk festival (2010 and 2011) and has played the legendary Bluebird Cafe in Nashville. She comes to The Ark for the first time in several years with new music and her new band\, The Lucky Nows.

SUMMARY:Performance:Enter the Haggis
DESCRIPTION:A haggis is a tasty Scottish dish consisting of sheep heart\, liver\, and lungs\, mixed with oatmeal\, onion\, suet\, and spices\, and then boiled inside the sheep's stomach. The Canadian-Scots band Enter the Haggis (bagpiper Craig Downie is from Scotland) has just about as much variety in their style\, a high-speed collision of Celtic music\, rock\, bluegrass\, funk\, and world music. An Enter the Haggis live show is a musical feast—dynamic and emotionally uplifting. Alternating between upbeat rock numbers with sing-along choruses and slower\, more introspective alt pop songs\, the band plays progressive and lyrically driven music that’s strongly rooted in Celtic tradition—from the storytelling to the bagpipes. Enter the Haggis returns to The Ark with a 20th-anniversary album that showcases the fabulous variety of their music.

SUMMARY:Performance:Jeffrey Foucault
DESCRIPTION:Wisconsin's Jeffrey Foucault writes sparse small-town ballads and love songs whose lyrics are great poems in themselves. \"Townes Van Zandt\, Greg Brown\, and Kelly Joe Phelps fans should give Foucault a listen\,\" says the Pasadena Weekly. The country rockers and dark blues songs of this Midwestern original are truly haunting things. Jeffrey has grown tremendously as a songwriter over the ten albums he has realeased\, and by now he's gaining raves from the likes of supercritic Greil Marcus\, who describes Jeffrey's music this way: \"An acoustic guitar figure comes up against drums buried far away\, like a memory. The story creeps out\, and stops well short of its end\, though you can glimpse it. Foucault drifts over the words so lightly that they seem to fade as they’re sung\, and you might stop trying to hear them as words\, let them come as sounds.\"

She's one of those people who exudes a spirituality that's all her own\, and she has to be seen in concert to be truly appreciated. Says novelist Barbara Kingsolver: \"She's a poet\, storyteller\, snake-charmer\, good neighbor\, friend and lover\, minister of the wide-eyed gospel of hope and grace.\" And you can forget all that and just luxuriate in her incredibly rich alto voice! Recently Carrie traveled to India and performed as a U.S. cultural ambassador\, and local religion journalist David Crumm\, writing on the ReadTheSpirit website\, recently named her to his list of \"10 Spiritual Sages to Watch.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Delbert McClinton
DESCRIPTION:Delbert McClinton grew up singing and playing in the gutbucket clubs of Fort Worth\, and in a sense he's never left. He still has a voice that will roar through the noise of a barroom or through any kind of mental clutter you might bring to one of his concerts. Delbert and his band backed the absolute royalty of deep blues as they came through town—Jimmy Reed\, Sonny Boy Williamson\, Bobby \"Blue\" Bland\, and the incomparable Howlin' Wolf—and all that he saw and heard\, he absorbed and passes along in his own music. (He gave John Lennon some pointers on the harmonica\, to boot.) Delbert hasn't slowed down a bit! He's still offering raw\, passionate American honky-tonk singing at its best. Delbert's December shows are an Ark tradition\, so don't delay on getting tickets!

SUMMARY:Performance:Nathan Bell
DESCRIPTION:Nathan Bell has lived life. At 56\, the wizened songwriter’s weary voice bleeds experience. He’s seen both sides of the coin—traveled the nomadic\, bohemian path of the hard-luck troubadour\, and found comfort and meaning in the stability of a family\, a home and a near two-decade corporate gig. And now\, with a guitar back in his hands where it should be\, he’s ready to tell the tale. But it’s not just his own story he’s after. It’s a story of America\, of the working classes—both blue and white collar. Bell is a songwriter’s songwriter\, a man who has shared bills with legends like Townes Van Zandt\, Emmylou Harris\, Taj Mahal and Norman Blake. The son of a poet and professor\, he has a keen eye for detail\, and an unapologetic penchant for the political\, populist humanism of his literary heroes John Steinbeck\, Jack London\, and Studs Terkel. With his latest LP\, \"Don’t Do This for Love\, I Do This for Love\" (the third installment in a potent trilogy that began with 2011’s \"Black Crow Blue\" and continued with 2014’s \"Blood Like a River\")\, Bell has created a song cycle that is both moving and timely. \"It’s fairly easy\,” Bell says\, “to come up with a concept built around working men in the traditional sense—miners and factory workers. But there’s also these white-collar guys who thought there was a rainbow at the end of this thing—that if you worked hard and took care of your family\, it paid off. So you gave up things\, you made certain sacrifices. But when you really look at it\, where’s the payoff? A lot of it is gone. And Donald Trump isn’t bringing it back. He’s not the guy\, it’s not the place\, it’s not the time. The middle class is getting screwed\, just not by the people they think because journalism has gotten so bad. Back in the days of the Soviet Union\, when they had no real journalism\, it was up to the artists to fill that role\, and that’s a big part of what I was trying to do on this record.”

SUMMARY:Performance:Bill Bynum & Co.
DESCRIPTION:Downriver Wayne County resident Bill Bynum writes hardcore country and bluegrass songs steeped in the music his Southern-migrant parents brought to Detroit. Bill was recently profiled by the Associated Press\, and both his calendar and the venues he plays have been growing more crowded lately. \"My music is kind of a Southern roots-based acoustic music\, but I feel like I am very hard to box into a category\,'' he says. \"There's more emotional content to my music than probably most people's.'' It's the truth! With songs both traditional and original\, and a sound that's at once as comfortable as old jeans and as fresh as a new blade of grass\, Bill Bynum & Co. is a band that’s easy to love and hard to quit. Come check out Bill's new band\, featuring stringmaster Drake Lolley\, bassist Scott Kendall\, and fiddler Hessie Mae Hasheian!

SUMMARY:Performance:Jill Jack Birthday Bash
DESCRIPTION:Jill Jack’s annual birthday bash has become a New Year's tradition at The Ark! Jill's magical connection to her audience is the result of her generous artistry. By combining her gifts as a conceptual visionary with a warm gathering of musical influences\, Jill touches that secret heart of ours with her melodies and lyrics. In her hometown of Detroit\, Jill needs no further explanation. She’s been lauded in equal measure to her talents: Since 1997 she’s won dozens of Detroit Music Awards in every conceivable category that applies to a singer-songwriter. Jill extends the tradition of the confessional (i.e. achingly open\, unafraid of intimacy) singer-songwriter\, and is proud of that style and its continuation. You get all of Jill Jack in a performance—her blend of folk and rock traditions\, her open humor. Jill keeps little of her process away from her audience\; each show is about opening a window and shining a light into her songwriting\, leading inevitably to the intense relationship with her fans. This year\, Jill is bringing a new album\, \"Event Room\,\" for her annual birthday show.

SUMMARY:Performance:Hot Club of Cowtown
DESCRIPTION:The Austin-based Hot Club of Cowtown explores the space where early jazz met Texas swing\, where Joe Venuti and Eddie Lang met Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys. Guitarist Whit Smith and fiddler Elana James have become a world-class country-jazz duo\, challenging each other and reading each other's minds at every turn. Add in the insouciant lyrics of the era and the vigorous slap-bass rhythms of Jake Erwin\, and you've got virtuoso small-group western swing that's beyond infectious. If you've seen the Hot Club before\, be advised that they're only getting better—they went on hiatus\, got back together\, and came out of it stronger. By now they're one of the great improvising bands in any genre. Their latest\, \"Midnight on the Trail\,\" explores classics of the cowboy-song genre.

SUMMARY:Performance:Red Tail Ring
DESCRIPTION:Red Tail Ring is the musical brainchild of two old-time-minded Michiganders – Michael Beauchamp and Laurel Premo. The collaboration blends the loving attention of revivalist fervor with the playful creativity of starting from scratch. Whether rendering a traditional tune or one of their many original compositions\, the duo infuses each song with musical imagination\, haunting harmonies and instrumental artistry. \"We love pushing the boundaries of what a traditional song can be\,\" says Beauchamp. \"It informs how we write our original songs. There's a real energy exchange between the old and the new.\" Red Tail Ring comes to southeast Michigan with a new album\, \"Fall Away Blues\,\" containing eight original songs\, three traditional interpretations\, \"and one blistering tune.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Sara Watkins
DESCRIPTION:“This is a breakup album with myself...” says Sara Watkins of her third solo record\, \"Young in All the Wrong Ways.\" Writing and recording these ten intensely soul-baring songs was a means for her to process and mark the last couple years\, which have been transformative. “I looked around and realized that in many ways I wasn’t who or where I wanted to be. It’s been a process of letting go and leaving behind patterns and relationships and in some cases how I’ve considered myself. What these songs are documenting is the turmoil you feel when you know something has to change and you’re grappling with what that means. It means you’re losing something and moving forward into the unknown.”

SUMMARY:Performance:Susto
DESCRIPTION:The music of SUSTO has been given many labels—Americana\, alt-country\, southern folk\, indie rock\, even gospel—and though these descriptions aren't inaccurate\, they only provide part of the picture. Bandleader and songsmith Justin Osborne’s lyrics bring the full picture into view. He weaves catchy hooks into honest storytelling\, utilizing gothic imagery\, wry humor\, and social commentary to convey his confessional tales. His gravelly\, pitch-perfect voice is the ideal vehicle to bring these heartfelt expressions to the listener and the sincerity he exudes while performing is palpable. Growing up in Puddin’ Swamp\, a small town in rural South Carolina\, Osborne embraced the locals’ clear conversational style of storytelling. Attending the College of Charleston in Charleston\, SC. Justin  was given the opportunity to study abroad in Havana\, Cuba. There he was captivated by the authenticity and honesty of local musicians' lyrics and their ability to bring humor to the darker aspects of life. He began performing around Havana\, and even co-wrote two songs with local musician Camilo Miranda. The willingness of the locals to listen without reservations instilled in Osborne the realization that this—writing music\, performing\, traveling—is what he needed to be doing with his life. By the end of 2013\, Osborne arrived back in Charleston\, driven to succeed and surrounded by a local arts community that not only embraced his music\, but also wanted to be a part of it. In spring 2014\, SUSTO released their self-titled debut album.They have since completed two more North American tours and opened for major acts such as Boston\, Band of Horses\, Iron & Wine\, and Shovels & Rope. They come to Michigan with their sophomore release ready to go.

SUMMARY:Performance:Nessa
DESCRIPTION:Nessa is a Celtic fusion group led by multi-instrumentalist/vocalist\, Kelly McDermott\, known for her dazzling flute technique and beautiful\, soulful voice. She is joined by co-founder/multi-instrumentalist Rob Crozier to research and arrange the music of Nessa. This hard-working team re-imagines the ballads and dances of the UK and Europe\, uniquely blending elements of classical\, folk\, jazz\, funk and world music to create rich\, complex musical hybrids. With no shortage of virtuosity\, Nessa includes some of southeastern Michigan’s hottest players. The band moves audiences with funky reels\, barn-burner jigs\, and deep\, soulful glimpses of old stories. Nessa has a mystical\, dreamy side akin to the music of Loreena McKennitt\, an energetic aspect not unlike Solas\, and a touch of global fusion a la Pentangle and Eileen Ivers. Says Trinity House's Bill Keith: \"These world-class musicians bring the energy of world music\, the thought-provoking nature of folk music\, and the edge of rock to create something that is truly unique.  You'll leave the show captivated by Kelly's beautiful voice and the stunning music of Nessa.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Timothy Monger
DESCRIPTION:Timothy Monger is best known for his work with Michigan folk- rock group Great Lakes Myth Society\, which he co-founded with his brother James. But his solo career both predates and follows his time with that band. Just prior to forming GLMS\, Tim released his debut solo album\, \"Summer Cherry Ghosts\,\" in 2004. The lush baroque-pop song cycle earned favorable comparisons to Elliot Smith\, Electric Light Orchestra and early Bee Gees and was released in Japan the following year. Says the All Music Guide's four-star review of Tim's album \"New Britton Sound\" (recorded in Britton\, Michigan): \"Monger finds something epic within his miniature tales of friends and foes\, guitar cases\, mining accidents\, and happy drunks\, layering in unexpected instrumentation\, gently opening the songs up with sparkling guitars and keyboards\, occasionally letting the tunes soar toward their conclusion on the wings of a trumpet.\" Tim comes to Ann Arbor with his brand new third album\, \"Amber Lantern.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Catie Curtis
DESCRIPTION:So many people have told Catie Curtis that her songs are like companions\, soundtracks for their lives. In her ‘90s gay-rights classic\, “Radical\,” she sang\, “I’m not being radical when I kiss you/ And I don’t love you to make a point.” The intimacy with which she expressed her lesbian identity helped others through their own difficult journey to openness. “To me\, a song is like a conversation with a friend\,” she says. “Like when you’re sharing stories with friends\, there’s always a lot of ‘Yeah\, yeah\, me\, too.’ There’s a kind of voice you use when you talk to someone you’re comfortable with. That’s the voice I look for in my songs.” In the mid-'90s\, Catie was a budding newcomer in a Boston folk scene that was producing stars like Dar Williams and Tracy Chapman. In 1995\, she lost her glasses and\, needing money for new ones\, took a gig at New York’s Bottom Line. She was discovered and signed by EMI/Guardian Records\, joining Joan Baez\, Jimmy Webb\, and the Nields. Perhaps too quickly\, she skyrocketed to major-label star. “They reminded me that\, first and foremost\, I was a product\,” she says. “My A&R guy actually told me\, ‘You need to learn to be more of a diva\,’ because I was dressing casually and going out to talk to fans after shows. They were trying to build me into something larger than life. It wasn’t a perfect fit that way.” But it did launch her career. She moved on to successful tenures at Rykodisc\, Vanguard and Compass. What sustains her long career\, however\, is the concert stage. Club Passim’s Matt Smith says\, “She doesn’t bother following trends\; she’s true to herself but continues to push the boundary of what she does. And she always brings the audience along for the ride.” And consider this from Mary Chapin Carpenter: “Catie takes something that’s very difficult\, that takes enormous skill and natural gifts\, and makes it look easy. I know it takes years and years to feel that comfortable on a stage\, to know yourself and how to bring people in like she can. You feel like you’re being transported\, that you know her\, and that’s she’s given you something of herself.”

SUMMARY:Performance:Diversity Next! Series: Dr. Kyra Gaunt
DESCRIPTION:Based on her participant-observation in the Black Lives Matter protests and an Anti-Trump project called BrickxBrick in NYC\, Dr. Gaunt poetically and creatively shares a love song to the world. She will also provide insights from her research of systemic intersectional biases on YouTube and Wikipedia.\n\nEthnomusicologist and vocalist Kyra Gaunt received her Ph.D. from the School of Music at University of Michigan in 1997. She is an award-winning author\, a TED Fellow\, and a digital ethnographer who studies the intersectionality of race\, gender and adolescence on YouTube. She is the award-winning author of The Games Black Girls Play: Learning the Ropes from Double-Dutch to Hip-Hop\, and adjunct associate professor of ethnomusicology\, cultural anthropology and sociology and as a social media expert at Baruch College in NYC. \n\nDr. Gaunt’s current work examines performance of musical blackness and digital ethnography on YouTube. As both a scholar and a performer\, she brings a committed advocacy for empowering emerging adults to become consumers of their own productivity—great citizens and professionals now\, not when you graduate—while demonstrating the value of a diverse and communal intellectual and cross-ethnic engagement that needs to be cultivated in our gadget-distracted age\, especially in higher education.\n#BrickxBrick2016 #BLM \n\nDiversity Next! is an arts-inspired series of conversations convened by the Center for World Performance Studies (CWPS) that seeks to broaden the horizons of diversity deliberations on the U-M campus and beyond. The arts cut across wide-ranging cultural and disciplinary boundaries\, harness the expressive power of creativity in new modes of perception and understanding\, and help individuals and communities critically interrogate and liberate from conditioned assumptions and behavior that run counter to diversity. This invites new perspectives on familiar topics and also helps place front and center areas that may elude diversity discourse altogether.

SUMMARY:Performance:Greg Brown
DESCRIPTION:Greg Brown's mother played electric guitar\, his grandfather played banjo\, and his father was a Holy Roller preacher in the Hacklebarney section of Iowa. Maybe that last item explains some of his amazing charisma! Greg's first professional singing job came at age 18 in New York City\, running hootenannies at the legendary Gerdes Folk City. After a year\, Greg moved west to Los Angeles and Las Vegas\, where he was a ghostwriter for Buck Ram of the Platters. Over more than four decades on the road\, Greg has developed into the essential Midwestern songwriter\, with a deep feeling for what makes people and communities hang together. He's a compelling performer\, aware that in folk music less is usually more and that the intimate musical detail communicates as well as the grand gesture. It's been a while since we've seen Greg Brown in southeastern Michigan\, so this could be a very scarce ticket!

SUMMARY:Performance:Stephen Kellogg and The South\, West\, North\, East w/ sg Don Miggs
DESCRIPTION:Over the last decade Massachusetts songwriter Stephen Kellogg has performed more than 1\,500 concerts in more than a dozen countries\, both solo and with a band. In 2013 he gave a TEDx Talk about job satisfaction. Recently on a tour of Europe\, SK (as fans often referto him) made a detour to play the Middle East\, Africa and an aircraft carrier for the Armed Forces. Upon returning to the USA\, he started his annual lyric writing campaign to raise money and awareness in the fight against pediatric cancer. At first glance none of this has anything to do with his music\, but Stephen Kellogg would argue\, \"it is the whole story. The music I make is a reflection of how I spend my time and what I care deeply about.\" His Americana-tinged\, sometimes folk\, often rock\, occasionally pop stylings can make Kellogg hard to define\, and his most recent four-part album \"South\, West\, North\, East\"—both a tetralogy and and a band—embraces the notion of genre-splitting to the fullest. Don Miggs of the San Francisco pop/rock band MIGGS opens with a solo set.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Laura Cortese & The Dance Cards
DESCRIPTION:We've heard the dance-fiddle-and-song triple threat of Boston's Laura Cortese at The Ark before\, but this time she brings something new. Laura Cortese and the Dance Cards have a vision for their band's sound: bold and elegant\, schooled in the lyrical rituals of folk music and backed by grooves that alternately inspire Cajun two-stepping and rock-n-roll hip swagger. Cellist Valerie Thompson (cello/vox)\, fiddler Jenna Moynihan (fiddle/vox)\, and bassist Natalie Bohrn (bass/vox) pair their sophisticated string arrangements and rich vocal harmonies to band leader Laura Cortese's poignant and powerful singing. Their new music has a wide emotional and sonic scope. The four voices are just as much instruments as they are providers for lyric and harmony. At times it's rowdy\, delicate\, or cinematic. The result is a sound that can start as a string band\, and morph into a string quartet\, female a cappella group\, or indie band\; all while staying honest and true to their identity as folk instrumentalists. Watching Laura Cortese & The Dance Cards on the main stage at a summer folk festival\, or tearing it up late night at a club\, you get the sense that they might snap some fiddle strings or punch a hole in the bass drum.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Head and The Heart w/ special guest Whitney
DESCRIPTION:The Head And The Heart have partnered with Plus 1 so that $1 from every ticket sold will go to support Artists For Peace And Justice serving communities in Haiti through programs in education\, healthcare\, and dignity through the arts (http://www.apjnow.org/)\n\nIt wasn't that long ago that the members of Seattle's The Head and the Heart were busking on street corners\, strumming their acoustic guitars\, stomping their feet and singing in harmony as they attempted to attract the attention of passersby. That unbridled energy informed their earliest original material\, which was honed in local clubs before eventually being captured on the band's 2011 debut album for hometown label Sub Pop.\n\nThen\, something unexpected happened. That music began to reach audiences all over the United States and the rest of the world\, and The Head and the Heart went from playing open mic nights to selling out headlining shows in prestigious venues. The album became one of Sub Pop's best-selling debut releases in years. And slowly but surely\, ideas began to form for the band's second album\, imbued with the experiences of traveling the world and cultivating a listenership with a deep connection to the music.\n\n\"There is a certain level of confidence gained from having such an amazing fan base\,\" says group member Jonathan Russell. \"You start to trust yourself more. When we were busking\, we were filling so much space to keep the listener from walking away. Now we are in a very different situation.\" Adds group member Josiah Johnson\, \"We wanted to write songs that felt bigger\, and didn’t need to be so frantic. I think for the most part we wanted to record an album that sounds like the way we play now.\n\nIndeed\, The Head and the Heart's new release\, Let's Be Still\, is a snapshot of a band that didn't exist just four short years ago. Virginia native Russell and California transplant Johnson formed the core songwriting partnership\, which was rounded out by drummer Tyler Williams\, keyboardist Kenny Hensley\, vocalist/violinist Charity Rose Thielen and bassist Chris Zasche\, who'd met Russell and Johnson while tending bar at an open mic they frequented. The nascent group dove headfirst into writing\, recording and performing\, and even moved into the same house to ensure that inspiration could strike at any moment.

SUMMARY:Performance:California Guitar Trio
DESCRIPTION:The California Guitar Trio plays progressive rock\, surf music\, jazz\, blues\, country\, probably the definitive version of \"Bohemian Rhapsody\,\" and some traditional North African and Asian sounds for good measure. And did you hear them at the Ann Arbor Folk Festival a few years ago\, playing the last movement of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony\, minus the voices but with pretty much everything else intact?  Like most Californians\, the three members of the California Guitar Trio all come from someplace else: Bert Lams is Belgian\, Hideyo Moriya is from Japan (where the band has a strong following)\, and Paul Richards is from Salt Lake City. All three felt the call to push themselves to the limit by enrolling in Robert Fripp’s challenging Guitar Craft courses\, where they first met in 1987. They went on to tour together as part of Fripp’s League of Crafty Guitarists before forming The California Guitar Trio in Los Angeles four years later. The CGT is a melding of diverse talents unlike anything you've heard before\, and one you can't afford to miss! They're celebrating their 25th anniversary with a brand new album\, \"Komorebi.\"

DESCRIPTION:Rose Cousins just might be Nova Scotia's answer to Iris DeMent\, or even to Kate Wolf. Says Lifestyle Nova Scotia: \"Cousins writes songs strong on story\, melody\, and honest observations ... that demand an unaffected but beautiful voice.\" Her 2012 album \"We Have Made a Spark\" took home a Canadian Juno Award along with many other awards\, including a spot on NPR’s Top 10 Americana & Folk Albums list. That album was recorded in Boston\, where Rose spends part of her time\, and where she's found strong support from the city's vibrant songwriting community. Rooted in authenticity and conviction of voice\, the songs of Rose Cousins make you feel as though she sings for you\, about your life. \"We develop patterns that keep us from moving forward\,\" Rose says. \"It takes a deep breath and a bucket of courage to face the uncomfortable\, painful things we work so hard to avoid. Reward comes from recognizing the obstacle exists and pushing through fear.\" Rose comes to Michigan with a brand new release\, \"Natural Conclusion.\"

DESCRIPTION:Fred Eaglesmith is Ontario's roots-country original! There are other songwriters who populate their creations with small-time crooks\, small-town loners\, and working-class heroes. But Fred Eaglesmith's songs stand out for their edge of desperation and their raucous yet bemused humor—and for the incredible energy and on-the-edge quality of his live shows. Circulating on tour from his Ontario farm\, Fred harks back to an earlier era of roots music with his raw\, driving country soul. Fred's 20th album\, \"Tambourine\,\" draws on the spirit of pure 1960s rock and roll.

SUMMARY:Performance:Willie Nile
DESCRIPTION:The New York Times has called Willie Nile \"one of the most gifted singer-songwriters to emerge from the New York scene in years.\" His album \"Streets Of New York\" was hailed as \"a platter for the ages\" by Uncut. Bono\, Lou Reed\, Lucinda Williams\, and Jim Jarmusch are among those who have sung his praises. Willie Nile's live performances\, like his recent razor's-edge set at the 2014 Ann Arbor Folk Festival\, are legendary. He has toured across the U.S. opening for The Who at the personal request of the band and sung with Bruce Springsteen at Giants Stadium. Willie was born in Buffalo\, New York\, sings\, plays guitar and piano\, lives in New York City\, and has outstanding parking tickets in many states. Anyone who’s paid attention to his recent work knows that Willie Nile is currently in the midst of a creative renaissance that’s produced some of the mot compelling music of his 35-year career. Willie's latest release is the superb \"American Ride.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Elizabeth Cook
DESCRIPTION:Songwriter and XM radio Outlaw Country\" host Elizabeth Cook is the creator of some of the toughest\, most emotionally honest country/new Southern songwriting work of the last decade. If you like Jason Isbell\, come and check out Elizabeth Cook! Last year this Grand Ole Opry regular released a new album\, \"Exodus of Venus\,\" and it might have been something of a shock. “There hasn’t been a lot to laugh about\,” confesses the effervescent songwriter who once penned “It Takes Balls To Be A Woman” with equal parts Dolly Parton pluck and Loretta Lynn brio. What hasn't changed is the honesty and emotional depth of one of Nashville's most serious and fearless artists. A songwriter who doesn't release new material until she has something to say\, Elizabeth Cook always offers an evening of music that will leave you thinking about it long afterward. East Nashville–based songwriter and satirist Darrin Bradbury opens.

DESCRIPTION:An Artist-In-The-Round performance featuring JJ Grey\, Marc Broussard\, Anders Osborne\, and Luther Dickinson\, Southern Soul Assembly debuted in the spring of 2014 to rave reviews. These highly seasoned artists and bandleaders have demonstrated a natural ability to contribute to each other’s music through harmonies and guitar\, each building upon the others’ songs. Southern Soul Assembly draws from the rich legacy of American Southern culture. Their collaborative live shows cultivate heartfelt storytelling that draws from the members’ Southern roots\, combining blues\, funk\, and rock to produce unique\, full-bodied performances. “Just like food in the South\, our music is greasier than most\,” says member Marc Broussard.

SUMMARY:Performance:Darrell Scott
DESCRIPTION:In the words of the Boston Globe\, Darrell Scott \"is to Nashville what Richard Thompson is to Britain and what Paul Brady is to Ireland.\" Most artists fall toward one side or the other of the divide between great songwriting and instrumental virtuosity\, but in the songs of Darrell Scott words\, music\, and instruments are inseparable. Darrell has written some of the sharpest country songs around (like the Dixie Chicks' \"Long Time Gone\")\, and he can play just about anything with strings. He's toured with Robert Plant's bluegrass-oriented Band of Joy\, and\, as a singer\, songwriter\, and instrumentalist he's been an artist to whom many in Nashville turn for a shot of inspiration. He comes to Michigan with a new album\, \"Couchville Sessions.\" He makes most of his music at a home studio in rural Tennessee. If you've never seen Darrell Scott\, he's something of an undiscovered treasure of American music\, and he's at his best in intimate settings like The Ark.

SUMMARY:Performance:Lambchop
DESCRIPTION:It's been nearly two decades since Lambchop released its first album\, at the time pronouncing itself \"Nashville’s most f'ed-up country band.\" Provocative though it may have been\, the description made sense: at the heart of all the ruckus was a band at once defying and embracing the musical legacy of its hometown. Since then\, Lambchop has evolved into an accomplished ensemble\, touring Europe\, adding palpable depth and substance to singer-songwriter-guitarist Kurt Wagner’s songs—and the band sounds as commanding as ever on its new album\, \"For Love Often Turns Us Still\,\" officially titled \"FLOTUS.\" Lambchop may not sound in any conventional way like a country band (even the steel guitar\, once prominent\, is long gone from the band’s lineup)\, and yet the essential spirit of country music—the sound of someone just trying to make sense of life’s little ups and downs—remains present in its music. The new album is also home to a streak of digital blues. Come hear the longform \"In Care of 8675309\,\" which sounds like nothing else in Nashville\, or anywhere else for that matter.

SUMMARY:Performance:Ben Caplan
DESCRIPTION:A charismatic charmer and a smasher of pianos. A madman and an earnest poet. A strummer of delicate chords and a lover of bent and broken melodies. Ben Caplan is not any one thing. As he releases his second album\, he's already gained a following in more than a dozen countries from Australia to Europe and across North America\, and it's no surprise. Ben Caplan is simply unforgettable\; with his huge beard and unruly mane\, he is as visually striking as he is aurally compelling. His rough and textured tones cut through crowded halls with an enormous voice\, roaring louder than raucous crowds. The microphone looks almost superfluous. But looks are deceiving\; once he has your attention\, Ben can croon smoother than a glass of single malt whisky\, pouring beauty into a harsh world. Inspired in part by Eastern European and Jewish folk traditions\, Ben Caplan mixes older musical sensibilities with his own soul\, straight from his hairy heart. Lyrically\, you've not heard the like before. Often edgy and dark\, he holds a mirror up to show us our nasty dies\, singing about the ugliness—and showing us that this darkness is the root of the sublime. His new album\, \"Birds with Broken Wings\,\" explodes with sounds both ancient and modern\, with more than 30 musicians and even more instruments\, combining acoustic sounds from around the world. It's all smoothly blended by the hottest international production team around. It's uncharted territory\, and Ben Caplan's leading the way.

SUMMARY:Performance:Son Volt
DESCRIPTION:Just now pushing 50\, Jay Farrar\, the creative force behind Son Volt\, is still not as old as his voice. Not nearly. His singing voice\, an ageless gift which sounds something like old timber looks\, like the unpainted walls framing Walker Evans' best portraits from Let Us Now Praise Famous Men: simple\, durable\, weathered and grooved and unplanned. The new Son Volt album\, \"Notes of Blue\,\" will be the twentieth album—including a couple live releases and two movie soundtracks—to which Jay has lent his voice and songwriting. \"Notes of Blue\" is not the blues of appropriation\, nor of beer commercials\, nor especially of the W.C. Handy awards. It is the broader blues of the folk process\, where they have always lived. In Jay's words\, “For years I’ve been drawn to the passion\, common struggle and possibility for redemption that’s always been a part of the blues. Everyone has to pay the rent and get along with their significant others\, so many of the themes are universal. For me\, the blues fills that void that's there for religion\, really. That's the place I turn to be lifted up.” This is quintessential Son Volt. Tough\, solitary\, unflinching. \"There's always a threat of darkness on the horizon\,” Jay says. “There's also a path to a better way inherent in the blues.”

SUMMARY:Performance:Shawn Mullins
DESCRIPTION:Atlanta singer-songwriter Shawn Mullins has had major adult alternative radio hits with \"Lullaby and \"Beautiful Wreck\,\" and he writes introspective original songs in an Americana framework that sound great either solo or with a band. He's been called Jewel with a Y chromsome\, and he's looking like he's going to match her career staying power. Shawn's music is overflowing with perfect rhymes\, telling detail and underlying glimpses of truth. This is uncommonly literate stuff\, striking in its insightfulness and compassion\, all delivered in a companionable baritone. Shawn comes to Michigan with a new album\, \"My Stupid Heart\,\" that covers—you guessed it—the singer-songwriter's recent breakup. \"This record came out of all that\; all the feelings\, all the heartache\,\" Shawn explains. His loss is audiences' gain!

SUMMARY:Performance:Will Kimbrough & Brigitte DeMeyer
DESCRIPTION:Here's a musical meeting of the minds that you should get to know better! Will Kimbrough grew up on Alabama’s Gulf coast\, honed his musical skills in clubs\, moved to Nashville\, and fell in with a songwriter crowd that included Guy Clark\, Emmylou Harris\, Little Feat\, Steve Earle\, and Jimmy Buffett\, who says\,”Will can charm a crowd whether fronting a band\, or playing solo. That's why you see his songs on my albums and his face on our stage.” PopMatters compares him to Rodney Crowell and Todd Snider. Brigitte DeMeyer sings country with soul. Her sound is rooted in the South\, with a bluesy emotional edge and a gospel-influenced intensity. The Morton Report says that she “combines the soft beauty of Emmylou Harris with the more rough and tumble take of Lucinda Williams.” Brigitte was born in the Midwest\, grew up in California\, and made her way to Nashville in 2010\, and that's where she and Will Kimbrough crossed paths and began to work together. After several instrumental contributions by Will to Brigitte's songs\, they've joined forces for a duo album\, \"Mockingbird Soul\,\" and it brings all their individual influences together into a larger whole.

DESCRIPTION:Grammy winner Paula Cole has released six solo albums over her 20-year career. She has sold more than three million albums and has performed with icons in many genres of music from Peter Gabriel to Dolly Parton\, and she was part of the legendary Lilith Fair lineup. Poetic and fiercely touching\, intelligent writing makes Cole stand apart. Her compositions have been covered by Herbie Hancock\, Annie Lennox\, and Katherine McPhee\, to name a few. From a small town in Massachusetts\, Paula Cole was raised in a musical family with whom she and her daughter remain close. She is a scholarship alumna from Berklee College of Music with a background in jazz\, received her first record deal with a jazz label (which she declined)\, and has collaborated with many jazz artists. Paula teaches and gives clinics in a spirit of giving back to the circle of music. With a loving allegiance to her fans\, she maintains loyal communication online and after her live shows. As the first woman in history to solely produce and receive the Best Producer Grammy nomination (for her work on \"This Fire\")\, Paula has broken boundaries with a searcher’s spirit. From her top-ten hits of the 1990s to her more recent critically acclaimed albums\, Paula Cole continues to write\, produce\, record\, and perform heartfelt\, meaningful\, lasting music that defies categorization. She comes to Michigan with a new album\, \"7.\"

DESCRIPTION:We started out playing sad\, indie-folk songs\,\" say the members of Watching for Foxes\, who got together as friends in the small town of Fremont\, Michigan. \"We drew a lot from contemporary folk artists like Mumford and Sons and cats like that. We still love that music\, but as our lineup grew and solidified\, we were able to included many more of our diverse influences and make a sound that we like to think is all our own. We have elements of roots rock\, folk-rock\, and indie-rock in our sound\, and I think we've created a really cool little niche for ourselves that will serve us well in the future\; more importantly\, it reflects who we all are\, and who inspires us\, in a much more complete way.” Watching for Foxes has toured Michigan and the Midwest\, and with the release of their full-length debut\, \"Undone Bird\,\" this is a band that's ready for bigger things. Katie Pederson opens.

She's mighty good.\" Here's a young artist who connects with the roots of country\, blues and rock without losing herself or descending into mannerism. You could call some of her music country-noir\, and the strong streak of traditional country in her songs was displayed in full on \"Butcher Holler\,\" her 2010 tribute to Loretta Lynn. Eilen comes to Michigan with a new album\, \"Sundown Over Ghost Town.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Davina and the Vagabonds
DESCRIPTION:Davina Sowers and the Vagabonds offer \"a modern take on old-time blues and jazz\" (PennLive). They've created a stir on the national music scene with their high-energy live shows\, level A musicianship\, sharp-dressed professionalism\, and Sowers’ commanding stage presence. With influences ranging from Fats Domino and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band to Aretha Franklin and Tom Waits\, the band is converting audiences one show at a time\, from Vancouver to Miami and across Europe. In 2011 Davina released her first full-length\, all-original album\, \"Black Cloud.\" It was awarded 4 1/2 stars from Downbeat. Their next release in 2014\, \"Sunshine\,\" hit number 13 on the Billboard blues chart. DATV’s shows are filled with New Orleans charm\, Memphis soul swagger\, dark theatrical moments that evoke Kurt Weill\, and tender gospel passages\, and Davina herself has been compared to Etta James\, Amy Winehouse\, Janis Joplin\, Billie Holiday\, and Betty Boop\, but comparisons don’t suffice: she's a true original.

SUMMARY:Performance:John Gorka
DESCRIPTION:The modern renaissance of folk music began when John Gorka won the Kerrville Folk Festival's New Folk award in 1984\, and it grew to maturity when he released his debut album\, \"I Know\,\" three years later. Here was a singer-songwriter with a striking baritone voice that made you feel like you'd been hearing it all your life\, with the songwriting chops to take on and see into nearly every type of song—from personal pieces about love and sadness\, to bemused observations about daily life\, political thinking-aloud\, and sheer unmitigated whimsy. Almost three decades later\, John still calls himself an aspiring folksinger\, and his music has just kept getting deeper and better over his 11 critically acclaimed albums. John isn't on the road as much as he used to be\, so don't miss this chance to catch a folk classic.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Ben Daniels Band
DESCRIPTION:Ben Daniels is the son of actor Jeff Daniels\, but that's very much the beginning of a story\, not the end. When Ben Daniels decided he was going to be a musician\, it was more than a career choice. A natural poet\, this young songwriter went to school on Bob Dylan\, Robert Johnson\, and Jack White\, among others. His lyrics speak directly to a younger generation that hears\, sees\, and thinks about the very things he’s writing. From their opening song to the finale of their set\, The Ben Daniels Band brings originality and musicianship to a sound that spans Americana\, blues\, jazz\, and rock. What Ben inherited from his father is\, perhaps\, a feeling for what it takes to live life as an artist\, to reach out and create not just songs but anthems with arrangements that pull people in. With seven CDs under their belts\, The Ben Daniels Band has grown to be a formidable group that sounds pleasantly familiar\, yet unforgettably unique. They come to The Ark with a new release\, \"Travelusive.\"

With innovative arrangements blending the beauty of traditional melodies with the power of modern rhythms\, the group embraces the rollicking\, even brawling qualities of Lowland Anglo-Scots tunes but never loses sight of the almost mystical Highland Celtic core. \"The penetrating sound of the Highland bagpipes is a thread of ancient memory running through it all\,\" say the Tannahill Weavers\, widely acclaimed as Scotland's finest traditional band. The band's diverse repertoire spans the centuries with fiery instrumentals\, topical songs\, and original ballads. These versatile musicians have received worldwide accolades consistently over the years for exuberant performances and outstanding recording efforts that seemingly can't get better\, yet continue to do just that.

SUMMARY:Performance:Peter Bradley Adams
DESCRIPTION:Peter Bradley Adams introduced himself as a member of folktronica duo Eastmountainsouth. He launched his solo career with \"Gather Up\" (2006)\, a brooding\, autumnal album recorded in his apartment. Peter continues his introspective explorations of the middle ground between hope and heartache on his current \"The Mighty Storm.\" He offers strong melodies and a calm emotional intensity that comes through best in small venues.\" \"I’m not an unhappy person\,\" Peter says\, \"but I do have a strong melancholic side. And I'm most drawn to the music that reflects that.\" His melancholic outlook is fully realized on \"The Mighty Storm\,\" a record that compliments his warm burnished melodies with his most tender vocals to date. Americana songwriter and Berklee College of Music graduate Lydia Luce opens.

SUMMARY:Performance:Mouths of Babes
DESCRIPTION:With more than a dozen albums and over a thousand shows between them\, Ty Greenstein and Ingrid Elizabeth of Mouths of Babes are no strangers to the modern folk music scene. For years\, their respective bands Girlyman and Coyote Grace captivated thousands of loyal fans as they crisscrossed the country\, rocked festival main stages\, and toured with the likes of the Indigo Girls and Dar Williams. Now\, as Mouths of Babes\, Ty and Ingrid have distilled the very best of the songwriting\, humor\, and musicianship of their previous groups into a new power duo whose key is contrast. Rarely is a sound or a show as balanced as it is with these two\, and the differences in both their songwriting styles and personal presentation makes for an unusually satisfying yin and yang. The Chicago Tribune writes: \"They offer unique counterpoints to one another … the laidback Ty\, nattily dressed in a tie and crisp suit jacket\, has a rich\, lovely alto. Ingrid\, clad in a sultry pink satin mini-dress\, is a sassy chanteuse with a lilting soprano. Trading jokes and sharing elegant harmonies\, the two women display an intuitive professional bond.\" They easily switch off lead vocals and play a wide array of instruments\, with Ty on acoustic and electric guitars\, banjo\, and foot percussion\, and Ingrid playing upright bass\, ukulele\, and cajón. Mouths of Babes come to Michigan with a new release\, \"Brighter in the Dark.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Whitehorse
DESCRIPTION:Glam and sleaze\, desert grit and subway rats\, scumbags and fakers\, hot messes and cold shoulders: welcome to the world of Whitehorse\, a rock duo from Toronto. Whitehorse's brazen sonic breadth encompasses psychedelic surf\, arid border rock\, lo-fi ingenuity and icy 80s sparseness. Luke Doucet's Gretsch White Falcon and impeccable tone\, combined with Melissa McClelland's blazing vocals and badass P-Bass playing\, have made the duo's sound is unmistakably\, inventively one of a kind. The duo's songwriting is distinguished by its cinematic fiction\, full of flawed characters\, foiled plans and anti-fairytales that transform real life into sleek\, stylized collages of neo-noir drama and high-gloss.Their new single \"Boys Like You\" adds hip-hop producers and processed beats\, expanding their studio sound with samplers\, vintage drum machines and more.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Milk Carton Kids
DESCRIPTION:Twice Grammy-nominated harmony duo The Milk Carton Kids released their third album\, Monterey\, to rave reviews\, garnering their second Grammy nomination\, this time for \"Best American Roots Performance\" for their song\, \"The City of Our Lady.\" A refreshing alternative to the foot-stomping grandeur of the so-called \"folk revival\,\" an understated virtuosity defines The Milk Carton Kids. Follwing their 2014 Grammy nomination for Best Folk Album for their previous release\, \"The Ash & Clay\,\" The Milk Carton Kids won Duo/Group of the Year at the Americana Music Awards in 2014. Their featured performances and interviews in T Bone Burnett & the Coen Brothers' concert documentary\, \"Another Day/Another Time\,\" were hailed as a highlight by press and fans alike. Cultural purveyors from Garrison Keillor to T Bone Burnett to Billy Bragg have hailed the duo's importance among a group of new folk bands\, both expanding and contradicting the rich tradition that precedes them. Yet while some of the band's many accolades reference a specific genre\, the duo quickly transcends those tags with clear inflections of jazz\, classical\, even the dark lyricism of modern \"alternative.\"

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:What the Russian Revolution Meant for Modern Art and Culture
DESCRIPTION:IYSSE at UM Meeting information:\n\nTuesday\, December 5 at 7PM\nUniversity of Michigan at Ann Arbor-North Campus\nPierpoint Commons\, East Room\n2101 Bonisteel Blvd\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48109\n\nThe Russian Revolution of 1917 was an earthshaking event\, the first time in history the working class and oppressed took power. It opened up a new era in human history. The Revolution inevitably had the most profound implications for art and culture\, not only in Russia but worldwide. It shattered old ideas and relationships\, and opened up enormous new possibilities. Soviet art and film of the early 1920s began to reflect these possibilities\, before the rise of Stalinism violently cut them off.\n\nArt today has reached an impasse\, bound up with the general crisis of capitalist society. Dominated to a large extent by skepticism and postmodernist cynicism\, along with gender and racial politics\, very far removed from the conditions of life of wide layers of the population\, art needs a new perspective. The lessons and experience of the Russian Revolution are critical in this regard.\n\nDavid Walsh\, arts editor of the World Socialist Web Site\, will discuss the impact and influence of the Russian Revolution on art and culture\, and their meaning today.

SUMMARY:Performance:Davina and The Vagabonds
DESCRIPTION:Davina Lozier and the Vagabonds offer \"a modern take on old-time blues and jazz\" (PennLive). They've created a stir on the national music scene with their high-energy live shows\, level A musicianship\, sharp-dressed professionalism\, and Lozier’s commanding stage presence. With influences ranging from Fats Domino and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band to Aretha Franklin and Tom Waits\, the band is converting audiences one show at a time\, from Vancouver to Miami and across Europe. In 2011 Davina released her first full-length\, all-original album\, \"Black Cloud.\" It was awarded 4 1/2 stars from Downbeat. Their next release in 2014\, \"Sunshine\,\" hit number 13 on the Billboard blues chart. DATV’s shows are filled with New Orleans charm\, Memphis soul swagger\, dark theatrical moments that evoke Kurt Weill\, and tender gospel passages\, and Davina herself has been compared to Etta James\, Amy Winehouse\, Janis Joplin\, Billie Holiday\, and Betty Boop\, but comparisons don’t suffice: she's a true original.

SUMMARY:Performance:Ruth B.
DESCRIPTION:Canadian newcomer Ruth B. (Ruth Berhe) established herself as an authentic singer/songwriter of considerable promise and purpose in 2016\, and the music world responded with open arms. Most recently\, she received a coveted JUNO award in Canada for Breakthrough Artist of the Year and a BMI Pop Award for her viral hit “Lost Boy\,” which started it all. Her 12-song debut album\, \"Safe Haven\,\" has far surpassed first-album expectations\, with Rolling Stone declaring Ruth B. “one to watch.” Composing all of the album’s songs herself\, Ruth blazes with the same surefooted intensity as she did on “Lost Boy\,” but all the while transforming and growing right before our eyes.

DESCRIPTION:Woodstock\, New York–based artist Rachael Yamagata is known for her soul-baring\, gut-punching songs of love lost\, perserverance\, and triumph. She excels at venues like The Ark as she embodies a living-room philosophy of performance that invites the audience closer in. Rachael's songs invoke a 1970s storytelling vibe with flavors of Carole King\, Rickie Lee Jones\, and Bonnie Raitt\, while modern comparisons often find her in line with past collaborators Ryan Adams and Ray LaMontaigne. Her shows are dynamic\, cathartic\, and often comedic\, and this Songs–Stories–Solo tour finds her at her intimate best.

SUMMARY:Performance:Sideline
DESCRIPTION:Sideline is a powerful group of seasoned bluegrass pros that has been getting busier and busier since this \"side project\" became a main gig for its members. Sideline consists of Steve Dilling (banjo)\, Skip Cherryholmes (guitar)\, Jason Moore (bass)\, Brian Aldridge (mandolin)\, and Nathan Aldridge (fiddle). As the name suggests\, Sideline intended to be a sometime band\, but the success of their debut album made Sideline a main line. Sideline captures much of what was great about bluegrass in the 1980s and early 1990s. Serving up what was contemporary bluegrass thirty years ago. they sound traditional in 2015. Sideline's driving bluegrass with killer harmonies and propulsive rhythm\, well-chosen blend of new and old material\, and especially the focus being an equal ensemble takes the listener right back in time to when these guys were jamming in the campgrounds. Recently signed to the Mountain Home label\, Sideline is at work on new music that you can be among the first to hear!

Their songs are touching\, humorous\, insightful\, and intelligent\, and their music is always revealing something new‑lately they've become a key presence in the consistently high-quality local songwriting collective the Yellow Room Gang. Mustard's Retreat recently celebrated their 40th anniversary as a duo\, and they're still creating \"music to cure what ails you\" anew!

SUMMARY:Performance:Kuinka w/ sg The Accidentals
DESCRIPTION:The name Kuinka (coo-WINK-uh) comes from the Finnish for “how”\; how does a band continue to evolve artistically and challenge themselves while staying true to their own roots? For Kuinka\, the answer comes in the form of letting go: a joyful acquiescence to their cumulative love of songwriting and shared experience\, regardless of genre or instrumentation. Brothers Zach and Nathan Hamer\, along with Miranda Zickler and Jillian Walker\, came together in 2014 to form a unique breed of string band\; one proudly defiant of preconceived notions of what fits under the label Americana. The Stranger in Seattle has praised the band's \"seraphic vocals\, bookended by ukulele\, cello\, and heavy percussion [that] will leave you giddy and glad to be alive.\" They come to Michigan with a recent release\, \"Stay Up Late.\"

DESCRIPTION:You may have heard and marveled at Mark Lavengood as the dobro player with the fast-rising Michigan bluegrass-and-more band Lindsay Lou & The Flatbellys. Now's your chance to hear what he can really do—he has amicably left that band and is setting out on his own. Mark honed his skills on the dobro in Michigan's folk and bluegrass communities while working part-time at Founders brewpub in Grand Rapids. In addition to Lindsay Lou\, he's played with Michael Beauchamp & the Barn Roughs\, Nicholas James Thomasma\, Kung Fu Rodeo\, the Fauxgrass Quartet\, and Strings 'n Things. Mark has been influenced on the dobro by oe Wilson & Drew Howard\, Rob Ickes\, Jerry Douglas\, Andy Hall\, Todd Livingston\, Sally Van Meter\, and Mike Witcher\, and he's got some terrific\, clever original tunes and a new album\, \"We've Come Along.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Lucy Kaplansky
DESCRIPTION:The daughter of the famed Polish-Canadian mathematician Irving Kaplansky (who once wrote a song based on the first 14 digits of pi that his daughter has been known to perform)\, Lucy Kaplansky started out singing in Chicago bars. Then\, barely out of high school\, she took off for New York City. There she found a fertile community of songwriters and performers—Suzanne Vega\, John Gorka\, Bill Morrissey\, Cliff Eberhardt\, and others—where she fit right in. She's a singer-songwriter with an extraordinary feel for the range of human emotion. Lucy puts her own spin on contemporary songwriter folk with warm\, powerful vocals and guitar playing that draws guitar gods (or geeks) to talk shop with her. Lucy Kaplansky\, says the Boston Globe\, \"is becoming the troubadour laureate of modern city folk.\" It's been a few years since the last new Lucy Kaplansky album\, so it's time to come out and see what this wonderful songwriter has been up to and working through.

DESCRIPTION:Come hear the Scots band Irish Music Magazine calls \"one of the most exhilarating acoustic bands on the Celtic music map\"! Dàimh (the word means \"kinship\" in Scots Gaelic) is based in Lochaber in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland\; an area as much renowned for its scenic beauty as for its rich musical and cultural heritage. A long‐established favorite at folk festivals in Scotland and Ireland and across Europe\, Dàimh recently took home Scots Trad Band of the Year honors at the Scots Traditional Music Awards\, Dàimh are also regulars on BBC television. Recent lineup changes have seen the introduction of Gaelic champion Griogair Labhruidh\, on vocals and Uillean Pipes\, adding the depth and power of his commanding vocal performances to an already phenomenal instrumental arsenal of bagpipes\, fiddle\, mandolin and guitar. From pyrotechnic jigs and reels to achingly poignant ballads\, Dàimh runs the full expressive gamut of folk music at its best\, and is justly renowned for their thrilling live shows.

Béla Fleck is a fifteen-time Grammy Award winner who has taken the instrument across multiple genres\, and Abigail Washburn a singer-songwriter and clawhammer banjo player who re-radicalized the instrument by combining it with Far East culture and sounds.

They'll perform pieces from their Grammy-winning self-titled debut as well as their new record\, \"Echo in the Valley.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Ladysmith Black Mambazo
DESCRIPTION:In 2014\, Ladysmith Black Mambazo—led by founder and leader Joseph Shabalala—celebrated more than 50 years of joyous and uplifting music. Within this music are the intricate rhythms and harmonies of their native South African musical traditions. The group borrows heavily from a traditional music called isicathamiya (is-cot-a-ME-Ya)\, which developed in the mines of South Africa\, where black workers were taken by rail to work far away from their homes and their families. Assembled in the early 1960s in South Africa by Joseph\, then a young farm boy turned factory worker\, the group took the name Ladysmith Black Mambazo. Ladysmith is the name of Joseph’s hometown\, about three hours west of Durban and three hours east of Johannesburg\; Black being a reference to the oxen\, the strongest of all farm animals\; and Mambazo being the Zulu word for chopping axe\, a symbol of the group’s ability to \"chop down\" any singing rival who might challenge them. A radio broadcast in 1970 opened the door to their first record contract—the beginning of an ambitious discography that currently includes more than 50 recordings (including Paul Simon's \"Graceland\") and has earned three Grammy awards.

Richard Shindell champions the downtrodden\, exalts the disaffected\, skewers prejudice\, war\, and religious intolerance. He steps into and fully inhabits the various personalities his songs create—some of them female. In the words of No Depression\, \"Shindell tells great stories with an eye for critical detail while never losing sight of the big picture. He works a well-worn stretch of singer-songwriter pavement\, but his wonderfully spiritual lyrical sense and intimate compositions ultimately distinguish him.\" The Valley Advocate in Massachusetts has called Richard Shindell \"the thinking man's folk singer\,\" and you're not going to hear better-crafted songs anywhere.

SUMMARY:Performance:California Guitar Trio
DESCRIPTION:The California Guitar Trio plays progressive rock\, surf music\, jazz\, blues\, country\, probably the definitive version of \"Bohemian Rhapsody\,\" and some traditional North African and Asian sounds for good measure. And did you hear them at the Ann Arbor Folk Festival a few years ago\, playing the last movement of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony\, minus the voices but with pretty much everything else intact?  Like most Californians\, the three members of the California Guitar Trio all come from someplace else: Bert Lams is Belgian\, Hideyo Moriya is from Japan (where the band has a strong following)\, and Paul Richards is from Salt Lake City. All three felt the call to push themselves to the limit by enrolling in Robert Fripp’s challenging Guitar Craft courses\, where they first met in 1987. They went on to tour together as part of Fripp’s League of Crafty Guitarists before forming The California Guitar Trio in Los Angeles four years later. The CGT is a melding of diverse talents unlike anything you've heard before\, and one you can't afford to miss!

SUMMARY:Performance:Langhorne Slim
DESCRIPTION:As the phenomena of instant connection and the need for constant self-improvement further implant their tendrils into our culture\, the ability to truly connect with each other and ourselves has begun to fade. As we all reach for our smartphones to gaze upon the manufactured perfection of the lives of those we admire\, we lose sight of what makes our own lives important.\n\nNashville's Langhorne Slim interlaces this theme throughout his new album. \"Everyone's searchin' for something better around every corner\, but it's already right here\,\" Langhorne says. \"We're all born whole -- through livin' we fall apart...\"\n\nThe songs on Langhorne Slim's newest album\, Lost At Last Vol. 1\, out November 10\, 2017\, challenge the idea of social rigidity: the attitude that there's a \"correct\" way for us to live and a side we should be on. He urges the world to see through the idea that by following that path and focusing only on fitting the mold\, one will have lived a good life. He re-interprets the sound of the free-spirited yet vulnerable everyman heard on 2015's The Spirit Moves and brings forth anew the call for us to abandon \"the fold\" and re-connect with ourselves and each other.\n\nLanghorne Slim is no stranger to the world of popular culture and commercial success. Lost At Last Vol. 1is his sixth full-length album\; throughout his career he has been defined by reflective songwriting and passionate delivery. Slim's last album cycle alone garnered him his third appearance on Conan O'Brien's late-night show\, as well as a feature on CBS Saturday Morning\, and the highest charting debut of his career. O'Brien\, a personal fan of Slim stated\, \"After one listen\, I became an instant\, almost obsessive fan.\" Slim has consistently toured on his own\, and has appeared on extensive worldwide runs throughout his career with artists such as The Lumineers\, The Avett Brothers\, Grace Potter & The Nocturnals\, Gregory Alan Isakov\, Josh Ritter\, The Devil Makes Three\, Sara Watkins\, and more. He's also appeared on many festival stages\, such as Bonnaroo\, Newport Folk Festival\, Outside Lands\, Lollapalooza\, and the Philadelphia Folk Festival.\n\nLost At Last Vol. 1 is a record that Langhorne wanted to do differently from the start. \"Almost immediately after recording our last record\, The Spirit Moves\,\" Slim says\, \"I felt a deep desire to make another album. One that would take a step sideways in order to take a step forward\; one that would be very personal and raw...in the making of this record\, I made a deal with myself to trust my own voice and vision more than I ever have before\, and to go willingly wherever it led.\"\n\nThe title alone reflects his need to pen a great wealth of songs\, as if the thoughts and inspiration took on a life of their own and just needed to come out. Recorded over the span of around six months in New Orleans\, Los Angeles\, and Catskill\, NY\, and clocking in at about 34 minutes\, it's a short but intense listening experience. Several songs are under two or three minutes long\, but they pack vivid imagery into concise packages in a way that shows a significant diversion from the songwriting on his previous records. Slim keeps his record-making in the family with this release\; longtime band member Malachi DeLorenzo co-produced the record along with Kenny Siegal\, and DeLorenzo also mixed several tracks in addition to playing drums on the record.\n\nSlim reflects truths that we may or may not want to admit\; in \"Life is Confusing\,\" he muses that \"life is confusing\, and people are insane.\" He stands resolute in the face of trial: .\"..you could break my heart\, but you'll never break me\,\" he sings on \"Never Break.\" He calls upon the listener during this time fraught with challenges to unplug from the trajectory our culture has deemed is \"right\" and find strength in our own vulnerability\, in our own instincts. \"We look to our phones\, drugs\, sex whatever to find ourselves when it's already right here\,\" Slim says. These songs join in the rallying call for the wild ones in us all.

SUMMARY:Performance:Stephen Kellogg
DESCRIPTION:Over the last decade Massachusetts songwriter Stephen Kellogg has performed more than 1\,500 concerts in more than a dozen countries\, both solo and with a band. In 2013 he gave a TEDx Talk about job satisfaction. Recently on a tour of Europe\, SK (as fans often referto him) made a detour to play the Middle East\, Africa and an aircraft carrier for the Armed Forces. Upon returning to the USA\, he started his annual lyric writing campaign to raise money and awareness in the fight against pediatric cancer. At first glance none of this has anything to do with his music\, but Stephen would argue that \"it is the whole story. The music I make is a reflection of how I spend my time and what I care deeply about.\" His Americana-tinged\, sometimes folk\, often rock\, occasionally pop stylings can make Kellogg hard to define\, and his recent four-part album \"South\, West\, North\, East\" embraces the notion of genre-splitting to the fullest. CBS Radio has called Stephen Kellogg \"the best live act you've never seen\,\" and No Depression calls him \"the best songwriter you're not listening to.\" We think it's time to change this situation. Stephen Kellogg appeared on the Saturday night bill at the 2018 Ann Arbor Folk Festival.

SUMMARY:Performance:Mo Lowda //Quiet Hollers
DESCRIPTION:Here are two bands that offer original music with a rock sound. Known for their progressive songwriting and energetic live performances\, Mo Lowda & The Humble began in the beer-soaked basements of Philadelphia. Following the release of their first full-length\, \"Curse the Weather\, the band started to hit the road. They've played shows throughout the country\, including those at summer festivals such as Firefly. The band's 2016 sophomore release\, \"Act Accordingly\,\" was a short and sweet embodiment of the band's natural progression\, and they're coming to Michigan with a new release on the way. Quiet Hollers formed in Louisville around the songwriting of singer/guitarist Shadwick Wilde\, who originally formed the group with the idea of playing only one show—the CD release of his solo effort\, \"Unforgivable Things\,\" in 2010. The group’s debut\, I Am the Morning\, followed in 2013. Quiet Hollers signed with the indie label SonaBLAST! for their third album\, \"Amen Breaks.\" The album draws parallels between the modern entertainment landscape and the cultural crossover of the 1970s– another decade marred by division\, political corruption\, and terrorist bombs. Their shape-shifting palate makes use of orchestral strings and brass\, vintage drum-machines and samples (including the Amen Break\, the most sampled piece of music in history). \"Amen Breaks\" explores themes of spirituality\, sexuality\, and mental illness.

SUMMARY:Performance:Altan
DESCRIPTION:Altan\, named for Loch Altan in Ireland's County Donegal\, has arguably had a wider impact on audiences over the last 30 years than any other traditional Irish band. Their dynamic and warm live performances mix the most touching old Irish songs with hard-hitting reels and jigs\, and the band members' interest in and sheer enjoyment of each other musically is apparent even to audience members new to the Irish tradition. For the Irish music enthusiast\, Altan has a treasure trove of brilliant moves to offer: the mix of sounds from Donegal with outside influences\, the sheer virtuosity of the players\, the beauty\, delicate singing\, and down-to-earth charm of singer and fiddler Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh. Anywhere they go\, a concert by Altan is the Irish music event of the year. Popmatters calls the band's latest album\, \"The Widening Gyre\,\" \"a defining moment for Altan.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Dead Horses w/sg Benjamin Jaffe (of HONEYHONEY)
DESCRIPTION:Back from the Friday night bill at the 2018 Ann Arbor Folk Festival\, Dead Horses is vocalist/guitarist Sarah Vos and vocalist/bassist Daniel Wolff\, sometimes augmented by other musicians as needed. Originally hailing from a small Wisconsin town made world famous by a pair of overalls (Oshkosh\, B'Gosh)\, the now Milwaukee-based folk band have cultivated a sensibility beyond their years due in part to the powerful literary force that is frontwoman and songwriter Vos. Raised on Bible hymns by her preacher father\, she has a backstory that sounds more like that of an old bluesman from the Mississippi Delta than that of a young folk singer from Wisconsin. Despite their youth\, Dead Horses have crafted a timeless sound\, informed as much by modern Americana as it is by traditional roots music. They've worked with producer Ken Coomer (Wilco\, Uncle Tupelo) who later invited the band to his studio to record the album\, \"Cartoon Moon.\" They return to Michigan with a new album\, \"My Mother the Moon.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Birds of Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Birds of Chicago\, duo of Allison Russell and JT Nero\, reassert the simple notion that beautiful words and music can still tap deep veins of emotion. With stark\, elemental imagery that feels like scripture\, or a lost folk song recovered\, The Birds draw heavily on the gospel tradition\, and the music feels like a new\, secular gospel of sorts. For Birds of Chicago\, every word counts. Every note counts. No gold-dusting\, no filler. Music is the good news\, and the music of this duo has a quiet but seismic urgency. Birds of Chicago alternate moody rock swagger with ghostly soundscapes. Their music is melancholy but never shoe-gazing. raw and soul-rich. Birds of Chicago have developed a fervent following\, touring 200 nights a year since their formation in late 2012\, and we last saw them on Friday night at the 2018 Ann Arbor Folk Festival  For these Birds\, singing for a room full of new people\, hearts wide open\, keeps off the cold and chases off the shadows.

DESCRIPTION:Guitarist Jesse Cook has called some of his music Rumba Flamenco\, but it goes beyond that! Born in Paris to Canadian parents\, he grew up in France and Spain\, studied with masters of flamenco\, and played with the Gipsy Kings when he was 19. \"That's when I got hooked on that percussive way of playing the guitar\,\" he says.

With several albums that have taken up long-term residence in the top 10 of Billboard's world music chart\, Jesse Cook plays concerts that are essential stops for anyone interested in the possibilities of the guitar. Jesse comes to Michigan with a new release\, \"Beyond Borders.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Sierra Hull
DESCRIPTION:Sierra Hull first played the Grand Ole Opry stage at 11\, invited by Alison Krauss\, and she quickly became known as a bluegrass mandolin prodigy. She was celebrated\, yet adrift. Stranded\, even. What she felt at 22 was not what she felt at 12\, and the music Sierra Hull was writing and playing at home was different from the music she was making on stages. \"In some way\, I was needing to run from the thing that everybody thought I was being\,\" she says now\, at 24. Now\, after consulting with Krauss and with Béla Fleck (who says\, \" She plays the mandolin with a degree of refined elegance and freedom that few have achieved\")\, she returns with the album \"Weighted Mind.\" Fleck served as producer\, and the album\, with 11 of its 12 songs written or co-written by Sierra\, is nothing like what we thought it would be. It is nothing like what we’ve heard before\, from anyone. It is singular and emphatic\, harmonious and dissonant. It is the realization of promise\, and the affirmation of individuality. Alison Krauss\, who has won more Grammy awards than any female artist in history\, says of Sierra\, \"I think she’s endless. I don’t see any boundaries. Talent like hers is so rare\, and I don’t think it stops.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Mountain Heart
DESCRIPTION:Mountain Heart offers bluegrass and more. This band as been fearlessly revolutionizing the way acoustic music can be presented and played. The band's name has been synonymous with cutting-edge excellence in bluegrass circles since the group's creation. Widely known throughout the music industry for continually redefining the boundaries of acoustic music\, the band has gained legions of loyal fans as a result of both their superlative musicianship and their incendiary live performances. Mountain Heart's music always fell just barely under the bluegrass umbrella\, and now\, from large outdoor folk music\, Americana\, jam band\, and bluegrass festivals\, to sold-out shows opening for Southern rock icons like The Marshall Tucker Band\, The Tedeschi Trucks Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd\, Mountain Heart has been making an undeniable connection with wider audiences. Whenever they come to The Ark\, they tear the house down—and at the 2018 Ann Arbor Folk Festival\, they just had a bigger house to tear down.

SUMMARY:Performance:John Gorka w/sg Cliff Eberhardt
DESCRIPTION:After 14 critically acclaimed albums\, countless national and international tours\, and collaborations with the likes of Nanci Griffith\, Mary Chapin Carpenter\, Ani DiFranco\, Lucy Kaplansky\, Patty Larkin\, and many more\, John Gorka is now releasing \"True in Time\,\" a 12-song collection spanning a lyrical spectrum from the spirit lives of dogs\, to the people of the Taos Pueblo\, to the idea that all songs manifest in time. John says\, “I wrote the title track ‘True In Time’ with Pete Kennedy. When Carrie Fisher and her mom\, Debbie Reynolds\, died within a day of each other I quoted lines from Paul Simon’s ‘Mother & Child Reunion’ song on Facebook—‘Oh I would not give you false hope on this strange and mournful day. But a mother and child reunion is only a motion away.’ Pete responded\, ‘Maybe all songs come true in time.’ Later he wrote\, ‘True in time sounds like a song’ and we proceeded to write the song long distance via the Internet.” Another special element is a pair of lost songs\, “Blues with A Rising Sun” and “Red Eye & Roses” both recovered by fan recordings that John felt found a place with his more recent compositions. The album was recorded “old school” with the musicians all playing together in one place\, and it's a lively\, immediate listening experience certain to find a treasured spot in the collection of long time fans. Fast Folk Music Cooperative co-founder Cliff Eberhardt\, who has shared many stages with John Gorka\, is special guest.

DESCRIPTION:In the music of The Cactus Blossoms\, the country sibling harmonies of The Everly Brothers and The Louvin Brothers come alive for modern times. As we got to hear at the 2018 Ann Arbor Folk Festival\, brothers Page Burkum and Jack Torrey sing and play the guitar\, and their voices fit together as only brother duets can. The Cactus Blossoms were orn and raised in Minneapolis and grew up on rock and pop\, but they always had a fondness for old-time country and folk tunes. They began playing as a duo in 2010\, soon they added classic-style originals to their repertoire and landed a band-in-residence spot at St. Paul's Turf Club. The Cactus Blossoms began playing clubs beyond Minnesota as headliners\, toured with Kacey Musgraves)\, and caught the ear of former A Prairie Home Companion host Garrison Keillor\, who called them \"the brother duet that America is waiting for.\" They were signed to the Red House label\, released their debut album\, \"You're Dreaming\,\" and saw their song \"Mississippi\" featured on Twin Peaks.

SUMMARY:Performance:Hot Club of Cowtown
DESCRIPTION:The Austin-based Hot Club of Cowtown explores the space where early jazz met Texas swing\, where Joe Venuti and Eddie Lang met Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys. Guitarist Whit Smith and fiddler Elana James have become a world-class country-jazz duo\, challenging each other and reading each other's minds at every turn. Add in the insouciant lyrics of the era and the vigorous slap-bass rhythms of Jake Erwin\, and you've got virtuoso small-group western swing that's beyond infectious. If you've seen the Hot Club before\, be advised that they're only getting better—they went on hiatus\, got back together\, and came out of it stronger. By now they're one of the great improvising bands in any genre. They don't always make it up here to Michigan\, but Elana has relatives in the area and brings her A game. Don't miss this!

SUMMARY:Performance:The California Honeydrops
DESCRIPTION:The California Honeydrops spring into 2018 with the Call It Home Tour to promote the release of a new double album\, \"Call It Home: Vol. 1 & 2.\" The California Honeydrops have a reputation as being among the most exciting and dynamic live bands on the planet. With unrelenting energy and a near-encyclopedic knowledge of musical styles\, genres and idioms\, the Honeydrops have spent a decade playing everywhere from subway stations in their native Oakland\, California\, to sold-out shows in theaters and at festivals all across the globe. In addition to their own nonstop touring\, 2016 and 2017 saw them honored to support Bonnie Raitt on her extensive North American tour\, following past support slots with such icons as B.B. King\, Allen Toussaint\, Buddy Guy and Dr. John. The band has come a long way since vocalist\, guitarist\, and trumpeter Lech Wierzynkski and drummer Ben Malament started busking in an Oakland subway station. With the additions of Johnny Bones on tenor sax and clarinet\, Lorenzo Loera on keyboards and Beau Bradbury on bass\, they’ve built a powerful full-band sound drawing on diverse musical influences from Bay Area R&B to funk\, Southern soul\, Delta blues and New Orleans second-line. The breathtaking slide guitar virtuoso Javier Matos opens.

DESCRIPTION:Glen Phillips is the lead singer and main songwriter for the band Toad the Wet Sprocket\, which he joined when he was only 14. In the words of James Christopher Monger\, \"Phillips has matured into ... a quiet storm that dutifully blends Cat Stevens' confident huskiness and Jackson Browne's weary but warm observer of all things broken.\" Of Glen's latest album\, \"Swallowed by the New\,\" Chris Steffen of Allmusic.com writes\, \"Songs like 'Leaving Old Town' and 'Unwritten' explicitly describe moving beyond the past and into the unknown.\" Glen Phillips has evolved into one of the great folk-rock songwriters of our time\, still staying true to his Toad-like roots\, and The Ark is the place to hear him!

SUMMARY:Performance:Susan Werner
DESCRIPTION:Chicago's Susan Werner is a triple threat at folk awards ceremonies with her luxuriously smooth and strong voice (she's a former opera singer)\, riveting lyrics\, and haunting melodies. “When it comes to crafting a song\, Ms. Werner’s only peers are Jimmy Webb and Paul Simon\,” raves No Depression. Susan can do it all! She's a virtuoso on both piano and guitar\, and her recordings have ranged from hardcore folk to Broadway music\, humorous songs\, a skeptical yet sympathetic take on gospel\, songs of farming\, and even classical arrangements of classic rock. Susan has a way of reinventing herself for each new project\, but there's a core of humor sophistication\, and musical craft that endures. She comes to Michigan with (what else?) an album of Cuban-flavored music. Susan Werner was the MC for both the Friday and Saturday evening concerts of the 2017 Ann Arbor Folk Festival.

SUMMARY:Performance:Nellie McKay
DESCRIPTION:Conjuring the image of a lonely all night truck stop along highway 1 on the California coast\, all but lost in the fog that comes creeping along the shoreline\, Nellie McKay's new \"Sister Orchid\" album speaks of the night\, the outsider\, the plaintive wail of those lost at sea. \"Sister Orchid\" was conceived in solitude\, executed in darkness. It comes from a place of quiet\, a world of low lights and cool drinks\, up against a hard wall. An oasis of hungry eyes and easy promises\, warm as a biscuit\, the kind of place your mother warned you against.Nellie McKay has released six relatively accomplished albums\, won a Theatre World Award for her Broadway portrayal of Polly Peachum in The Threepenny Opera\, co-created and starred in the award-winning Broadway hit Old Hats\, written compelling musical biographies of a variety of female figures\, and much more that's unlike anything else out there.

SUMMARY:Performance:Mipso w/sg Courtney Hartman
DESCRIPTION:Chapel Hill’s indie Americana quartet Mipso—Jacob Sharp (mandolin\, vocals)\, Wood Robinson (bass\, vocals)\, Joseph Terrell (guitar\, vocals)\, and Libby Rodenbough (fiddle\, vocals)—has just released its fifth album\, \"Edges Run\"! Influenced by the contradiction of its progressive home and the surrounding rural southern landscapes\, Mipso has been hailed as “hewing surprisingly close to gospel and folk while still sounding modern and secular” (Acoustic Guitar) and was recently recognized by Rolling Stone as an Artist You Need to Know. The band brings a unique sound\, full of wistful beauty\, hopeful undercurrents\, and panoramic soundscapes. Venturing ever-further from its string-band pedigree to discover a broader Americana where classic folk-rock and modern alt-country sounds mingle easily with Appalachian tradition\, Mipso’s music is lush and forward moving\, with lyrics that sear and salve in turn. Courtney Hartman of Della Mae is special guest.

SUMMARY:Performance:Elizabeth Cook
DESCRIPTION:Songwriter and XM radio \"Outlaw Country\" host Elizabeth Cook is the creator of some of the toughest\, most emotionally honest country/new Southern songwriting work of the last decade. If you like Jason Isbell\, come and check out Elizabeth Cook! Last year this Grand Ole Opry regular released a new album\, \"Exodus of Venus\,\" and it might have been something of a shock. “There hasn’t been a lot to laugh about\,” confesses the effervescent songwriter who once penned “It Takes Balls To Be A Woman” with equal parts Dolly Parton pluck and Loretta Lynn brio. What hasn't changed is the honesty and emotional depth of one of Nashville's most serious and fearless artists. A songwriter who doesn't release new material until she has something to say\, Elizabeth Cook always offers an evening of music that will leave you thinking about it long afterward. Opening is North Carolina songwriter Caleb Caudle\, who comes to Michigan with a new album\, \"Crushed Coins.\"

DESCRIPTION:Each year\, the organizers of The Ark's monthly Open Stage pick one or two artists who they feel have really honed their stuff and are ready for prime time. This year's Open Stage Showcase features Ali McManus and Eric Moore. Eric is a familiar face on the southeast Michigan music scene. The Pittsburgh native has been a human jukebox in dive bars and a songsmith on festival stages. He takes his singing cues from blue-eyed soul masters like Van Morrison and John Martyn while pursuing songwriting inspired by Paul Simon and fingerstyle guitar work in the vein of Leo Kottke and Bert Jansch. He has released two CDs of original material\, \"Picture Frame\" and \"Songdog.\" Bloomfield Hills teen Ali McManus says: \"My journey has been a series of twists and turns … and I mean that literally. Life—and my body itself—have thrown me some serious curves. But music saved my life. One song means three minutes\nof no pain\, and I can say things with song that I can’t speak in words alone.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Red Wanting Blue: \"The Wanting\" Spring Tour 2018 w/sg Liz Brasher
DESCRIPTION:Hailed as “Midwestern rock heroes” by American Songwriter\, Red Wanting Blue has spent the last twenty years establishing themselves as one of the indie world’s most enduring and self-sufficient acts\, notching appearances everywhere from Letterman to NPR and reaching #3 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart\, all while operating largely outside the confines of the traditional music industry. For their powerful new album\, ‘The Wanting\,’ the band handed production duties over to acclaimed singer/songwriter Will Hoge\, who helped them create their most ambitious\, fully realized collection yet. Recorded in Nashville\, TN\, the record draws on many of the group’s traditional strengths—indelible melodies\, infectious hooks\, explosive performances—even as the making of it pushed them far outside their comfort zone and forced them to take an unprecedented\, nearly year-long break from touring.

SUMMARY:Performance:Paul Thorn
DESCRIPTION:Paul Thorn has created an innovative and impressive career\, pleasing crowds with his muscular brand of roots music – bluesy\, rocking and thoroughly Southern American\, yet also speaking universal truths. Among those who value originality\, inspiration\, eccentricity and character – as well as talent that hovers somewhere on the outskirts of genius\, the story of Paul Thorn is already familiar. Raised in Tupelo\, Mississippi\, among the same spirits (and some of the actual people) who nurtured the young Elvis generations before\, Paul Thorn has rambled down back roads and jumped out of airplanes\, worked for years in a furniture factory\, battled four-time world champion boxer Roberto Duran on national television\, signed with and been dropped by a major label\, performed on stages with Bonnie Raitt\, Mark Knopfler\, Sting\, and John Prine among many others\, and made some of the most emotionally restless yet fully accessible music of our time. He’s also appeared on major television shows such as Late Night with Conan O’Brien and Jimmy Kimmel Live\, been the subject of numerous National Public Radio (NPR) features and charted multiple times on the Billboard Top 100 and Americana Radioi Charts. This year\, Paul will be releasing an album titled Don’t Let the Devil Ride\, which he describes as “the culmination of my whole life in music\, coming back to my roots.” It marks his first time recording gospel music - featuring guests such as the Blind Boys of Alabama\, the McCrary Sisters\, and Preservation Hall Horns - and his creation of a body of strikingly original songs that address the foibles of human relationships without necessarily favoring the sacred over the profane.

SUMMARY:Performance:An Evening with Andy McKee
DESCRIPTION:Topeka-born Andy McKee has made the cover of both Acoustic Guitar and Britain's Acoustic magazine. He's a virtuoso to beat the band! Andy entertains both the eye and the ear with his use of altered tunings\, tapping\, partial capos\, percussive hits\, and with his signature two-handed technique. His guitar performance videos have received hundreds of millions of views on the Internet\, and at one point he held the top three positions on YouTube's list of top-rated videos of all time. After starting out on electric guitar\, Andy switched as a teen to acoustic and began studying the music of Michael Hedges\, Don Ross\, Billy McLaughlin\, and Preston Reed. To this day he still cites those four musicians as primary influences. Master craftsman and innovator at the same time\, Andy McKee is a virtuoso for our time\, and his live shows are absolutely legendary.

SUMMARY:Performance:Ken Yates
DESCRIPTION:Since first planting roots within the Canadian music scene in 2011\, Ken Yates has steadily grown a reputation as one of the country’s brightest singer/songwriters. His sound offers the complete package—unforgettable melodies\, emotionally charged storytelling\, and top-notch guitar chops—all gloriously displayed on his new album\, \"Huntsville.\" Everywhere on the album\, echoes of the Canadian songwriting tradition\, from Gordon Lightfoot to Bruce Cockburn to Ron Sexsmith\, are apparent\, proving that with \"Huntsville\,\" Ken Yates is ready to join that exalted company. A native of London\, Ontario (a few hours’ drive south of Huntsville)\, Ken studied at the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston. “At this point\, touring still feels fresh to me\, and at least half the songs on 'Huntsville' came out of experiences I’d had on the road\,” he says. Ken Yates is a rare example of someone who\, from the beginning\, had clear intentions when he embraced the troubadour life\, and the combined drive and talent to make it a reality. He was named Songwriter of the Year at the 2017 Canadian Folk Music Awards.

SUMMARY:Performance:Slambovian Circus of Dreams
DESCRIPTION:The music of The Slambovian Circus of Dreams has been variously described as \"hillbilly-Floyd\,\" \"folk-pop\,\" \"alt-country\, roots-rock\,\" and \"surreal Americana\;\" a clear indicator of its singularly indescribable uniqueness. Dancing freely between all existing religious and philosophical mythologies\, the music is uplifting\, empowering\, and a lot of fun. The Slambovians have drawn comparisons to Petty\, The Decemberists\, Dylan\, and Bowie as they feature an otherworldly slide mandolin\, accordion\, cello and styles ranging from dusty Americana ballads to Pink Floyd-esque cinematic anthems. Frontman Joziah Longo (vocals\, guitar and harmonica) has drawn praise for a voice that is \"soothing and bewitching as a snake oil tonic\,\" and \"the entire root system of the Rock Family Tree is embedded in his voice\,\" says The Big Issue UK). This band has been together since the late 1990s\; they settled in Sleepy Hollow\, New York\, and began developing unique shows that have surprised and delighted Ark audiences every time.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Iguanas
DESCRIPTION:What if Americana actually encompassed ALL of North America? You'd have the Franco Acadian inflections of Canada\, as best exemplified by the accordion\, blues and jazz\, the only truly indigenous music the US has ever produced\, and the lilting grace and fiery passion of the music of Mexico. You'd also have New Orleans' premiere distillers of this continental musical melange\, The Iguanas\, and their new album\, \"Juarez.\"\n\nTaking their cues from all of the above influences and then some\, \"Juarez\,\" the band's first studio album since 2012’s \"Sin to Sin\,\" redefines the notion of Americana\, crossing cultures\, styles\, eras ... and even languages. It's as if Rue Bourbon\, Muscle Shoals and Plaza México were all within earshot of each other and The Iguanas were the musical conduit between them. Based out of New Orleans for the past couple of decades save for a short\, Katrina imposed exile in Austin the members of the Iguanas have (collectively or individually) played or recorded with everyone from Charlie Rich\, Alex Chilton\, and Willie DeVille to Emmylou Harris\, Allen Toussaint\, and Pretty Lights.\n\nTheir two-decade ride has taken them all over the map musically and geographically\, yet the inescapable patina of their hometown infuses every note they play.  Through eight studio albums\, countless tours and Jazz Fest appearances\, and a flood that did its best to take their adopted city with it\, it's a testament to the band's endurance that the same four guys that started playing in the early 1990s are still together. Joe Cabral is philosophical about the band's persistence in the face of challenges that would have felled indeed have felled lesser bands. “First of all\, this is all we know how to do\; we're musicians. But more than that\,” he continues\, “we respect the power of the band as an entity\, and each individual in the band steps up to play his part. When it's good\, that's really what it's all about.”

SUMMARY:Performance:Mike Farris Band
DESCRIPTION:Mike Farris fronted the Nashville band Screamin' Cheetah Wheelies in the 1990s and went solo in 2001. Mike's spirited\, soul-gospel fusion found an enthusiastic audience\, but life has a way of biting back: he's been through a lot since then\, including a stint of addiction to pain medication.  With the help of support groups at AA and NA\, Mike bounced back and released the album \"Shine for All the People\,\" which put his blues-drenched sound at the service of recovery\, his own and others'. Says Mary Gauthier (who ought to know\, and whose great \"Mercy Now\" Mike recorded on the album): \"Out of the arms of defeat Mike Farris has done a victory lap ... He takes people who are hurting\, who are broken\, who think they are alone and through just the sound of his voice he lets them know that they're not ... that's magic.” \"Shine for All the People\" won the Grammy for Best Roots Gospel Album.

DESCRIPTION:David Ramirez is breaking out of the pack among the new generation of Austin songwriters with his starkly beautiful baritone\, which The New York Times once  described as full of \"haggard loneliness.\" He's paid his dues on the road\, once putting more than 260\,000 miles on a 2006 Kia Rio\, and he's grown as a songwriter every time out. This fall\, David is releasing a new album\, \" We’re Not Going Anywhere\,\" of which he has this to say: \"At a historical moment of immense political\, social\, and ecological uncertainty\, those four simple words comprise both a promise and a protest\, a comforting reassurance of inclusion as well as a hearty cry of defiance. It’s a statement that offers no small sense of hope\, in that sense matching the music contained on the album.\" In the run-up\, he's mounting his Live Bootleg tour\, on which every show is a live recording!

SUMMARY:Performance:Matthew Sweet
DESCRIPTION:\"When I was young\, the artists that I really admired were the ones who always found a way to keep making music and expressing themselves\,\" Matthew Sweet says on the occasion of the release of his 13th solo album\, \"Tomorrow's Daughter.\" \"To me\, those guys were the real artists\, and I've tried to hold on to that attitude in my own work.\" The seasoned singer/songwriter/producer/multi-instrumentalist is currently in the midst of a personal musical renaissance that's seen him produce some of the most compelling and ambitious music of his three-decade career. That description applies to Tomorrow's Daughter\, on which such instantly memorable new tunes as \"Belong\,\" \"Run Away\,\" \"Lady Frankenstein\" and \"Out of My Misery\" demonstrate his uncanny ability to tap into a bottomless well of pop history to craft music that's effortlessly catchy yet deeply personal. And he's got more new music in the pipeline\, including a vinyl-only EP for this November's Record Store Day. Not to be missed!

DESCRIPTION:Michael McDermott burst onto the scene in his early 20s with his exceptional debut\, \"620 W. Surf\,\" and subsequently found himself touted as Rock’s Next Big Thing. The missteps and failures that followed\, the collapse of an industry that once embraced him as its next sensation\, are troubles and travails that either ruin a person completely\, or force a change of attitude and staunch determination to gather one’s resolve to not only survive\, but overcome. Michael's 11th studio album\, \"Out From Under\,\" brims with richly autobiographical songs that mix stunning frankness with wicked\, idiosyncratic humor. It’s the sound of a clear-eyed\, dedicated artist\, now a contented husband and father\, giving in to his heart’s most urgent commands and trusting his instincts in ways he never thought possible.

SUMMARY:Performance:Johnny Nicholas and Friends
DESCRIPTION:Make no mistake: Johnny Nicholas knows the blues. His credentials? Impeccable. Conviction? Immeasurable. And chops? If an instrument’s got strings\, keys\, or reeds he can play the hell out of it. He’s also a consummate songwriter and a great singer blessed with a warm\, toasty growl of a voice that can roll from rumble to croon and back again with seductive ease. Marcia Ball calls Johnny \"an extremely engaging innovative traditionalist\" who \"writes instant classics and sings them to break your heart and rock your soul.\" But the key word there is \"innovative\,\" because as deep as his roots go—and we’re talking about a guy who learned firsthand from the likes of Robert Lockwood Jr.\, Howlin’ Wolf\, Big Walter Horton\, and Johnny Shines (to name but a few of the legends he studied under early in his five-decade career)—Johnny Nicholas does not paint in one color. Johnny comes to Michigan with a new release\, \"Too Many Bad Habits.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Haley Heynderickx
DESCRIPTION:Songwriter Haley Heynderickx grew up in a religious household in Oregon\, closely identifying with her Filipino roots\, but also straddling multiple cultural identities—her name is not Dutch but is a tribute to Jimi Hendrix. Now she lives in Portland\, and her faith is not overt\, but her introspection and continued struggle for self­actualization are easily accessible and relatable. The tracks on her debut album\, \"I Need to Start a Garden\,\" reflect seemingly disparate elements. Through soft acoustic guitar picking and deftly accented trombone sighs\, Haley’s music immediately recalls the folk scene of the '60s and '70s\, mixed with a love of jazz radio. But her singing—her vocals that range from sultry to operatic—reveals a tenacity in her soul. Aware of the birds\, the garden\, and anyone listening acutely\, Haley Heynderickx's music serves as an invitation for all to join her. Because the beauty of a garden is that while it’s often started for deeply personal reasons\, its bounty is best consumed and shared with others. Haley opened for Ani DiFranco at the Ann Arbor Summer Festival\, and now she's back for a full show of her own.

SUMMARY:Performance:Mustard's Retreat
DESCRIPTION:From their start at an open mic at the Ark in the summer of 1974\, this award-winning duo consisting of David Tamulevich and Michael Hough has become a perennial favorite\, not only here in southeastern Michigan but all over the folk singer-songwriter circuit. Their songwriting and recordings have received consistently high praise\, and their live performances even more so. Their songs are touching\, humorous\, insightful\, and intelligent\, and their music is always revealing something new‑lately they've become a key presence in the consistently high-quality local songwriting collective the Yellow Room Gang. Mustard's Retreat recently celebrated their 40th anniversary as a duo\, and they're still creating \"music to cure what ails you\" anew!

SUMMARY:Performance:Greg Brown
DESCRIPTION:Greg Brown's mother played electric guitar\, his grandfather played banjo\, and his father was a Holy Roller preacher in the Hacklebarney section of Iowa. Maybe that last item explains some of his amazing charisma! Greg's first professional singing job came at age 18 in New York City\, running hootenannies at the legendary Gerdes Folk City. After a year\, Greg moved west to Los Angeles and Las Vegas\, where he was a ghostwriter for Buck Ram of the Platters. Over more than four decades on the road\, Greg has developed into the essential Midwestern songwriter\, with a deep feeling for what makes people and communities hang together. He's a compelling performer\, aware that in folk music less is usually more and that the intimate musical detail communicates as well as the grand gesture. It's not so often that we see Greg Brown in southeastern Michigan\, so this could be a very scarce ticket!

SUMMARY:Performance:Lori McKenna
DESCRIPTION:Home and the people who make it have captivated Lori McKenna for years. Over the last three decades\, as she became a wife and mother of five\, she has also emerged as one of the most respected\, prolific singer-songwriters in popular music. Her 2016 release The Bird and the Rifle netted three Grammy nominations\, along with Americana Music Association nods––all firsts for McKenna as an artist. Then\, she made history: In 2016\, she became the first woman ever to win the Country Music Association’s Song of the Year two years in a row thanks to co-writing Little Big Town’s “Girl Crush” and penning Tim McGraw’s no. 1 “Humble and Kind” solo. Both songs also clinched back-to-back Grammy wins for Best Country Song. In 2017\, she became the Academy of Country Music’s first female Songwriter of the Year. McKenna’s much-anticipated eleventh studio album\, produced by Dave Cobb\, takes one of McKenna’s signature themes––family––and builds a tapestry of experiences she has lived and overheard\, been told and dreamed up\, to create a stunning ode to life’s defining relationships.

SUMMARY:Performance:Young Dubliners
DESCRIPTION:Although The Young Dubliners' sound is most commonly called Celtic Rock\, that label\, as labels can often be\, is misleading. The Irish influence is there\, certainly\, but it's not the only influence heard on their albums\, or in live shows. After all\, several of the band members have no Irish roots of any kind. \"That was always the idea\,\" vocalist Keith Roberts explains. \"The sound was always intended to be a hybrid because we all come from different backgrounds. Even though two of us are from Ireland\, a lot of the music we listened to growing up wasn't Irish at all\, but when we got here\, we got homesick and developed a new appreciation for Irish music. In truth the Celtic riffs can just as easily come from the American band members. Everyone writes now\, so you never know what you'll end up with when we write.\" The Young Dubliners come to The Ark just back from taking their Irish and American sound to Ireland itself.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Tannahill Weavers 50th Anniversary Tour
DESCRIPTION:Named for Scottish poet Robert Tannahill\, the Tannahill Weavers create music that is steeped in history yet brings the Scottish musical tradition forward into the present day. With innovative arrangements blending the beauty of traditional melodies with the power of modern rhythms\, the group embraces the rollicking\, even brawling qualities of Lowland Anglo-Scots tunes but never loses sight of the almost mystical Highland Celtic core. \"The penetrating sound of the Highland bagpipes is a thread of ancient memory running through it all\,\" say the Tannahill Weavers\, widely acclaimed as Scotland's finest traditional band. The band's diverse repertoire spans the centuries with fiery instrumentals\, topical songs\, and original ballads. The Tannahill Weavers have been on the road for 50 years\, and they're celebrating with—what else?—a new album\, \"Orach.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:David Bromberg Quintet
DESCRIPTION:A legend of the folk scene\, David Bromberg got his start in the Greenwich Village coffeehouse scene in the mid-1960s. His extraordinary guitar picking and exceptional stylistic range developed over the next decade. David's live shows\, rarer since he took up violin-making full time\, range from Texas swing to bluegrass\, blues\, classical music\, and anything else that might cross his mind. In the words of the New York Times\, he \"has such control of his audience that he can\, at one moment\, hold it in his hand with a tender\, touching yet funny anecdotal song\, and then set it romping and stomping with a raucous bit of raunch. He is electrifying.\" We might add that he picked up on the humor in country and classic blues as well as anyone else in the folk revival scene\, making his shows a great deal of fun. David appears tonight with his band\, with whom he recently recorded a new album\, \"The Blues\, the Whole Blues\, and Nothing But the Blues.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Smooth Hound Smith w/sg Olivia Millerschin
DESCRIPTION:Says No Depression: \"In the case of Smooth Hound Smith\, two is all that’s needed to brew a raucous clash of backwoods folk\, raw blues\, and underground rock.\" Smooth Hound Smith is the foot-stompin’ American roots duo of one-man band Zack Smith (guitars/vocals/foot drums/harmonicas/banjo) and Caitlin Doyle (vocals/percussion). Established in 2012\, and currently based in East Nashville\, they record and perform a varied and unique style of folky\, garage-infused rhythm & blues. Using primal foot percussion\, complex\, fuzzed-out\, finger-picked guitar patterns\, warbled harmonicas\, tasty harmonies and a lot of tambourine\, they are able to create something rugged and visceral—a modern interpretation of early blues\, soul\, and rock ‘n’ roll music that harks back to the traditions of hazy front porch folk songs as well as raucous back-alley juke joints. They’ve shared the stage with artists such as Justin Townes Earle\, Robert Earl Keen\, Nicki Bluhm & The Gramblers\, The David Mayfield Parade\, Matthew Perryman Jones\, Charlie Parr\, Possessed By Paul James\, Shawn Mullins\, and more. They're coming to Michigan with music from their as-yet-untitled but much-awaited third album. Ann Arbor singer-songwriter Olivia Millerschin is special guest.

SUMMARY:Performance:Jan Krist & Jim Bizer
DESCRIPTION:A longtime Detroit-area songwriter who has garnered lots of national attention\, Jan Krist has been a four-time Detroit Music Award winner and a finalist at the prestigious Kerrville Folk Festival in Texas. Entertainment Weekly praised the \"breathtaking leaps\" of Jan's voice and opined that she \"makes soul-searching more enjoyable than it has any right to be.\" Her songs over ten CDs take on big themes\, including religious ones\, yet her way with a hook is second to none. If you've never heard Jan Krist\, check her out—her songwriting voice is serious\, completely Midwestern\, and unafraid of depth. Sharing tonight's bill is Michigan songwriter Jim Bizer\, who sings about faith\, rivers\, insanity and a few things you've probably never heard before in a song--like a romance that got started with a man falling off of a 30-story building. A member of the Yellow Room Gang and a three-time finalist in the New Folk Songwriting Competition at the Kerrville Folk Festival\, Jim won the grand prize in the Great American Song Contest for his September 11 reflection\, \"We Are All Connected.\"

DESCRIPTION:Singer-songwriter Nicole Atkins has a golden voice and a set of life experiences that have put her through the wringer. Raised in New Jersey\, she's recorded in Charlotte\, Brooklyn\, Malmö\, Sweden\, and Nashville. Her vocals have drawn comparisons with no less than Roy Orbison\, and she shapes soul\, psychedelia\, Brill Building pop\, and more 1960s styles into a mix that's totally contemporary and totally her own. In the midst of a serious struggle with addiction and the illness of a close family member\, she reconnected with friend Chris Isaak\, who told her\, \"Atkins\, you have a very special thing in your voice that a lot of people can’t or don’t do. You need to stop staying away from that thing and let people hear it.\" The result is Nicole's latest\, \"Goodnight Rhonda Lee\" (in which Isaak had a songwriting hand)\, and some career-making music. Australian singer-songwriter Ruby Boots is special guest.

SUMMARY:Performance:An Evening with Alejandro Escovedo & Joe Ely
DESCRIPTION:Tonight's show brings together two Texas legends and Ark favorites! Joe Ely was born between Route 66 and the Rock Island Line in Amarillo\, Texas\, and he saw Jerry Lee Lewis playing on a flatbed trailer in an Amarillo dust storm when he was six years old. Since then he's had a career than can fairly be called mythic. His songs about the geographic and romantic landscapes of the Lone Star State are pure poetry\, but there's no other Texas songwriter on whom rock has left a stronger mark\, and he's true pioneer of Americana and progressive Texas music. Alejandro Escovedo's life reads like a primer in renewal. He was around at the dawn of American punk rock in his band the Nuns\, which opened the last Sex Pistols show. His next band\, Rank and File\, marked a key stage in the early evolution of what became known as alternative country. Since then he's been a solo songwriter full of amazing stories\, a full-blast rocker\, and a survivor back from the brink of death.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Ark's Student Welcome Show Michigan Rattlers
DESCRIPTION:Students: welcome to Ann Arbor and The Ark\, a world-class listening room with music for all ages and tastes. Tonight's show is FREE with any student ID. Lifelong friends and deep-north natives\, Michigan Rattlers play \"heavy-hearted folk-rock with an aching dose of Midwestern nice.\" Graham Young (guitar)\, Adam Reed (upright bass)\, and Christian Wilder (piano) began writing music and performing together in their Petoskey high school. \"etoskey is a small place. Beautiful\, but secluded. It’s hard to start a musical career in a place where there are more deer than people\,\" they say. Still\, they regularly played every bar\, cafe\, and stage in town\, developing a musical chemistry informed by the likes of AC/DC\, Creedence Clearwater Revival\, Bob Seger\, and more. Their debut EP\, recorded in Los Angeles\, attracted glowing reviews from No Depression\, Bluegrass Situation\, B3 Science\, and Rolling Stone\, who named the band one of their “Ten New Country Artists You Need To Know” in 2016.

SUMMARY:Performance:Amanda Shires w/sg Leah Blevins
DESCRIPTION:\"It’s all rock & roll—no golf!\" is how acclaimed singer/songwriter/violinist Amanda Shires describes her electrifying fifth album\, To The Sunset. She’s borrowed a lyric from the effervescent track “Break Out the Champagne\,” one of ten deftly crafted songs that comprise her powerful new recording. The Texas-born road warrior\, new mom\, and recently minted MFA in creative writing has mined a range of musical influences to reveal an Amanda Shires many didn’t know existed. “Isn’t it refreshing?” Amanda asks. Indeed. Distorted electric guitars\, effects pedals\, swirling keys and synths\, and rockin’ rhythms certainly suit Shires’ visceral songcraft and lilting soprano. Amanda is renowned for her carefully crafted\, evocative songs. Her influences include Leonard Cohen and John Prine\, the latter a mentor. Amanda says she also uses songwriting as a way to \"get through my own emotional stuff\, which is cheaper than a therapist.\" Kentucky-born songwriter Leah Blevins is special guest.\n\nVIP Meet & Greet Package: $85 \n \nPackage includes:  \nOne general admission ticket\nEarly entry into the venue\nExclusive preshow meet & greet with Amanda Shires\nPersonal (instax) photo with Amanda Shires\nCollectible tour poster autographed by Amanda Shires\nLimited availability

SUMMARY:Performance:Corn Potato String Band
DESCRIPTION:The Corn Potato String Band plays authentic American Appalachian folk music\, with a few twists that keep the music from a one-way trip to the dustbins of history. Theirs is a story of struggle\, hard knocks\, and triumph. Essentially unable to cope with modern life\, the members of this band are outcasts of society who survive by playing the lost music of the flatlands where they were raised. They've delighted audiences with their driving fiddle tunes and harmonious singing across the U.S.\, Canada\, Europe\, and India. Aaron Jonah Goldberg\, Lindsay McCaw\, and Ben Belcher are multi-instrumentalists dedicated to continuing the traditional fiddle and banjo music and dance of the central Southern U.S. In addition to being champion fiddlers\, they play banjo\, guitar\, bass and mandolin and cover many different old-time styles including ballads\, \"ho-downs\,\" country rags\, and Southern gospel\, specializing in twin fiddling and double banjo tunes. Says Marc Griffiths of Global Texan Chronicles: \"They can take a forgotten or just plain underplayed tune and make it beautiful and relevant once again.\" The Corn Potato String Band comes to Michigan with a new album\, \"Good Job Everybody.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Che Apalache
DESCRIPTION:Che Apalache (roughly \"Appalachian homeboy\") is a four-man string band based in Buenos Aires with members from Argentina\, Mexico and the United States. The group’s founder is Joe Troop (fiddle)\, a North Carolinian multi-instrumentalist\, singer-songwriter\, and composer who moved to Argentina in 2010. While patiently carving out a niche in the local music scene\, Joe taught bluegrass and old-time music for a living. That’s how he met Pau Barjau (banjo)\, Franco Martino (guitar) and Martin Bobrik (mandolin)\, his most dedicated students. They quickly became picking buddies and in 2013 decided to hit the stage. Che Apalache began as a bluegrass band\, but eventually incorporated Latin American styles into their repertoire. Combining instrumental prowess with tight vocal harmonies\, they have created an authentic blend of genres to reflect the nature of their lives. Evoking images from Appalachia to the Andes\, their debut album\, “Latingrass\,” is a testament to a powerful cultural and musical exchange. At the prestigious Appalachian String Band Music Festival in Clifftop\, WV\, they were awarded first place in the Neo-Traditional band competition. The momentum is growing for Che Apalache\, and the future looks promising in both South and North America.

SUMMARY:Performance:Dave Alvin & Jimmie Dale Gilmore
DESCRIPTION:Roots music legends Dave Alvin and Jimmie Dale Gilmore\, have been friends for 30 years\, but only recently realized they had never played music with each other before.  So they decided in 2017 to hit the highway to swap songs\, tell stories\, and share their life experiences. They discovered that their musical roots in old blues and folk music are exactly the same. In these spontaneous shows\, audiences have enjoyed classic original compositions from the two\, and also songs from a wide spectrum of songwriters and styles— from Merle Haggard to Sam Cooke to the Youngbloods.  Mutually energized and inspired by these performances\, Dave and Jimmie agreed to hit the road again in 2018 ... this time with a full band and some new stories to share.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AE 585 Seminar Series - Laser Communication with CubeSats
DESCRIPTION:Laser Communication with CubeSats\n\nKerri Cahoy\nAssociate Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics\, MIT\n\nCubeSats can be as large as a toaster oven\, only with 100 times less available power. CubeSats typically use radio frequency (RF) communication\, where higher data rates usually belong to commercial CubeSats. Due to size\, weight\, and power (SWaP) limits and regulatory constraints\, most CubeSats transmit at <2 Watts with relatively low gain antennas. With the rapid growth in CubeSats on orbit\, RF licensing is a challenge. Laser communications (lasercom) systems have access to currently unregulated bandwidth. We demonstrate how improvement in fine pointing capability allows CubeSats in Low Earth Orbit to track a ground station or crosslink to another CubeSat\, enabling lasercom up to Gbps\, with enough power efficiency to allow use of instrument payloads. Low-cost\, compact lasercom terminals can support large constellations or swarms of CubeSat sensors collecting terabytes or petabytes of remote sensing data daily. Lasercom downlinks and crosslinks within constellations and swarms can also enable exchanges of large volumes of data for autonomous onboard processing toward intelligent system planning and scheduling. We discuss MIT's Nanosatellite Optical Downlink Experiment and its corresponding Portable Telescope for Lasercom (PorTeL)\, MIT's CubeSat Lasercom Infrared CrosslinK mission (CLICK)\, and MIT's Scheduling\, Planning and Routing Intersatellite Networking Tool (SPRINT).\n\nAbout the Speaker:\n\nKerri L. Cahoy\, Associate Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics at MIT\, received her B.S. (2000) in Electrical Engineering from Cornell University\, and her M.S. (2002) and Ph.D. (2008) degrees in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University working with the Radio Science Team on Mars Global Surveyor. From 2006 to 2008\, she was a Senior Payload and Communication Sciences Engineer at Space Systems Loral in Palo Alto\, CA. From 2008 to 2010\, Dr. Cahoy was a NASA Postdoctoral Program Fellow in Exoplanet Exploration at NASA Ames Research Center. From 2010 to 2011\, she was a Radio Science research scientist on the MIT Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) lunar mission team at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. Prof. Cahoy currently holds the Rockwell International Career Development Chair. Dr. Cahoy leads the MIT Space\, Telecommunications\, Astronomy\, and Radiation (STAR) Lab\, part of the Space Systems Laboratory

SUMMARY:Performance:Davina and The Vagabonds
DESCRIPTION:Davina Lozier and the Vagabonds offer \"a modern take on old-time blues and jazz\" (PennLive). They've created a stir on the national music scene with their high-energy live shows\, level A musicianship\, sharp-dressed professionalism\, and Lozier’s commanding stage presence. With influences ranging from Fats Domino and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band to Aretha Franklin and Tom Waits\, the band is converting audiences one show at a time\, from Vancouver to Miami and across Europe. In 2011 Davina released her first full-length\, all-original album\, \"Black Cloud.\" It was awarded 4 1/2 stars from Downbeat. Their next release in 2014\, \"Sunshine\,\" hit number 13 on the Billboard blues chart. DATV’s shows are filled with New Orleans charm\, Memphis soul swagger\, dark theatrical moments that evoke Kurt Weill\, and tender gospel passages\, and Davina herself has been compared to Etta James\, Amy Winehouse\, Janis Joplin\, Billie Holiday\, and Betty Boop\, but comparisons don’t suffice: she's a true original. Davina & The Vagabonds have become Ark favorites—they tore up the stage at the 2017 Ann Arbor Folk Festival\, and their third album\, \"Nicollet and Tenth\,\" is their best yet.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:ARCHITECTURE PRACTICE SESSIONS: LECTURE - Third Century Grant Initiative
DESCRIPTION:Laurel Consuelo Broughton and Andrés Jaque will lecture as part of the Practice Sessions series. Practice Sessions is part of the University of Michigan’s Third Century Initiative which funds experimental pedagogies in a bid to change how teaching and learning happen within the bounds of the institution. Over a five-year period\, ten architectural practices will be invited to Taubman College to run a practice session.\n\nLaurel Consuelo Broughton\nLaurel Consuelo Broughton is a designer and educator who explores her interests in narrative\, material culture\, and style within architecture\, design\, and fashion through projects\, publications\, and collaborations at a multiplicity of scales. The object as form and cultural figure features broadly throughout all her work. She has taught at the Graduate School of Architecture\, Planning and Preservation at Columbia University\,   the College of Environmental Design at University of California\, Berkeley and the School of Architecture at the University of Southern California. \n\nLaurel is the director of WELCOMEPROJECTS\, a studio of discursive sensibilities focused on the production of real things in the world along with all the incumbent\, critical fictions needed for their survival. WELCOMEPROJECTS are large (buildings\, houses\, interiors)\, medium (installations\, films\, furniture) and small (handbags\, games\, wagons). The studio tells stories through design imbuing each project with curiosity and playful seriousness. Recent work has been exhibited at the 2017 Chicago Architecture Biennial\, Materials and Applications in Silverlake\, A+D Architecture and Design Museum\, Harvard Graduate School of Design\, and galleries in Los Angeles and New York and most recently published in the Los Angeles Times\, Art Papers\, Attention\, Pidgin\, Metropolis\, Offramp\, and Surface.\n\nWELCOMEPROJECTS also designs and produces WELCOMECOMPANIONS\, a project that reinterprets everyday sartorial accessories and objects. The project seeks to inject a sense of play\, suspense\, and narrative into the objects we interact with and depend upon on a daily basis. We suggest the novelty that in our accessories\, function is not wholly dependent on utilitarian form. Launched in 2012\, WELCOMECOMPANIONS has been featured in numerous publications including Vogue.com\, New York Times\, Paper Magazine\, Vogue Italia\, Elle Italia\, Newsweek\, Marie Claire Italia\, Lucky Magazine and Nylon Magazine among others. WELCOMECOMPANIONS are sold in boutiques in Los Angeles\, New York\, Tokyo\, San Francisco\, Sydney\, and Hong Kong.\n\nAndrés Jaque\nAndrés Jaque is the founder of the Office for Political Innovation\, an international architectural practice working in the intersection of design\, research and critical practices. He is the author of awarded projects including ‘Plasencia Clergy Hall of Residence’\, ‘House in Never Never Land’\, ‘TUPPER HOME’\, ‘ESCARAVOX’ or ‘COSMO\, MoMA PS1’. He is the Director of the Advanced Architectural Design Program at Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture\, Planning and Preservation.\n\nIn 2016\, he received the Frederick Kiesler Prize from the City of Vienna\, and he has been awarded with the SILVER LION to the Best Research Project at the 14th Venice Biennale\, and the Dionisio Hernández Gil Award.\n\nAndrés Jaque is Associate Professor at Columbia University\, Phd Architect (ETSAM)\, Alfred Toepfer Stiftung’s Tessenow Stipendiat (Hamburg) and Graham Foundation Grantee. His publications include Transmaterial Politics (2017)\, Calculable (2016) PHANTOM. Mies as Rendered Society\, Different Kinds of Water Pouring into a Swimming Pool\, Dulces Arenas Cotidianas (2013)\, Everyday Politics (2011)\, Melnikov. 1000 Autos Garage in Paris 1929 (2004). His research work has been published in Perspecta\, Log\, Thresholds\, Volume\, among many others.\n\nThe design work of his office has been published in the most important architectural and general media\, including A+U\, Bauwelt\, Domus\, El Croquis\, The Architectural Review and The New York Times\, Wall Street Journal\, The Guardian\, El País\; and it has been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art MoMA\, London Design Museum\, MAK in Vienna\, Tel Aviv Museum of Art\, RED CAT Cal Arts Contemporary Art Center in Los Angeles\, Z33 in Hasselt\, Schweizerisches Architektur Museum in Basel\, Princeton University SoA and the Cité de l’Architecture et du Patrimoine de Paris among many others.

SUMMARY:Performance:Riders In The Sky
DESCRIPTION:Forty years ago.  No laptops\, no cellular phones\, no Google\, no downloads\, no Skype\, no Tweets\, no Apple\, no Microsoft\, no texting\, no electric cars\, no Uber.  A different world.  But there were three young men with drive and wit who wanted to keep a special music alive.  They believed in preserving the heritage of Western Music and presenting it to a new generation.  They believed in entertaining\, and they did so … entertaining themselves as well as the audience!  And they believed in creating original Western Music to continue the tradition\, not just seal it in amber as a museum piece. What they did not realize at the time was that they would be doing the same thing 40 years later. Ranger Doug\, Too Slim and the late Windy Bill Collins played that first date on the bitter cold evening of November 11\, 1977\, at Herr Harry’s Frank N’ Stein Rathskeller in Nashville\, and small listening room dates followed.  By August of the following year demand was building\, and while Windy Bill left\, Woody Paul joined\, and the true professional beginnings of the band began at the Kentucky State Fair\, where the trio played 10 days for $2500—and bought their own rooms and meals out of that! \n\n A first wave followed\, including appearances on Austin City Limits\; recording contracts with Rounder\, then MCA\, then Columbia\; guest appearances on the Grand Ole Opry leading to membership in 1982\; and a three-year run on The Nashville Network with a TV show called “Tumbleweed Theater\,” which yet in turn led to a seven-year run on public radio with “Riders Radio Theater.  People Magazine\, interested in the Riders phenomenon\, ran a story which happy caught the eye of a Hollywood producer.\n\nAnd so the second wave broke\, sending the boys to Hollywood to star in “Riders In The Sky” on CBS for a year on Saturday mornings\, introducing them to yet another generation.  More recordings\, endless show dates\, and television appearances followed for a decade before the fine folks at Pixar called and asked the quartet—by this time they had been joined by Joey the Cowpolka King—to sing a tune called “Woody’s Roundup” in the movie “Toy Story 2.”  Thus\, the third wave began\, highlighted by a number of projects for Disney\, including two albums\, both of which won GRAMMY Awards! The creation of satellite radio has recently given them a new platform\, as they continue to produce episodes of the award winning “Classic Cowboy Corral” on Sirius/XM.\n\nStill more road dates and recordings (several on their own Riders Radio Records label) and other film and television projects have filled the days and weeks and years\, and since the quartet has slowed up very little\, the numbers begin to add up:  an astonishing 7\,200+ appearances\, 35 years on the Grand Ole Opry\, 40 records albums (well\, now CDs\,) and tours of all 50 states and all over the world.  Honors accumulated as well.  In addition to the two Grammy Awards\, Riders received numerous awards from the Western Music Association\, including the highest: membership in the Western Music Hall of Fame\; numerous Wrangler awards from the Cowboy Hall of Fame and Western Heritage Museum\; awards from the Academy of Western Artists\; enshrinement in the Walkway of Western Stars\, and more.  What began as a celebration of classic Western Music and an evening of hilarity has become a career\, and that career has become a legend\, one which\, 40 years on\, shows no signs of stopping or even slowing down much.\n\nRanger Doug\, Too Slim\, Woody Paul and Joey the Cowpolka King … 40 years on\, “The Cowboy Way.\"

DESCRIPTION:The Ark is widely known to have one of the best singing audiences in the country. For the third year running\, we celebrate that with a full night devoted to songs that everyone can sing. Michigan’s own Matt Watroba has devoted the last few years of his musical work to spreading community singing throughout the country. Matt will transform the audience into a spontaneous choir. Says Matt: \"Community singing is not performing. It exists so that all willing singers\, at all levels of skill\, can experience the power of song and musical participation. Performing choruses and musical groups often spring out of the community singing experience\, but that is not the purpose—it’s just a welcomed consequence!\"

Her first album\, \"Fur Coats and Blue Jeans\,\" was released when Deidre was 19 and a student at Vassar College. With a theater degree tucked under her belt and an acoustic guitar tossed in the back of a battered Buick station wagon\, releasing three albums with the pioneering women's music label Olivia Records/ The Miami Herald affectionately dubs her a \"dreadlocked troubadour\,\" and she shared the stage with a long list of notables that includes Suzanne Vega\, Tracy Chapman\, Holly Near\, Odetta\, Cris Williamson\, and Sweet Honey in the Rock. Deidre comes to Michigan with a new album\, \"Playing for Keeps.\"

DESCRIPTION:Lindi Ortega gives fair warning: \"Don’t come any closer to my heart /If you’re afraid of the dark.\" However\, that shroud is slowly lifted in her new album\, \"Liberty.\" As the narrative unfolds in this concept album\, a central character emerges—one who finally sheds the darkness of her past and emerges into the light. As melodies and tempos change\, her journey carries her steadily forward. \"I think the most important thing for me was that I ended on a very positive note because I've had so many people tell me that my songs helped them through really hard times in their life\,\" Lindi says. \"That struck a chord for me\, because just like everybody else\, I have had hard times in my life\, and continue to have pockets of difficult moments here and there. If I can provide some sort of solace with my music\, then that gives me every reason to make music. I wanted this record to be all about helping people through the darkness.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Archie Fisher & Garnet Rogers
DESCRIPTION:Tonight's concert brings original songwriters who work within deep traditions of place and song. Scottish folk master Archie Fisher is well known all over the British Isles as host of his own BBC radio show\, but his appearances stateside are to be cherished. Archie's most recent collection of songs \"Windward Away\,\" on which he worked for more than ten years. It's a gem—a haunting collection of introspective ballads\, evoking the wild and rough beauty of the Scottish Border country. One of a pair of brothers who spearheaded a tremendous renaissance in Canadian songwriting in the 1970s and 1980s\, Garnet Rogers tells detailed stories of people from all walks of life and their small\, everyday victories. He can shift from seriousness to razor-sharp wit in a heartbeat\, and no two of his shows are the same.

SUMMARY:Performance:Jill Sobule
DESCRIPTION:Jill Sobule - Nostalgia Kills\n\n“Nostalgia can be wonderful and amazing. It’s OK to look back. But then you gotta get the fuck out of there.” So says singer-songwriter Jill Sobule\, explaining the theme of her new album\, Nostalgia Kills.\n\n \n\nOn Nostalgia Kills (out September 14 on Jill’s own Pinko Records)\, the woman hailed by The New York Times for making “grown-up music for an adolescent age” turns her warm wit and poet’s eye on herself more than ever before\, revisiting moments from throughout her life that made her into the person she is today. It’s an especially poignant look back at childhood — “exorcising some junior high school demons\,” as she puts it.\n\n\nLooking back is a new experience for Jill Sobule. Ever since she first caught mainstream attention with her 1995 song “I Kissed a Girl” — the first song about same-sex romance ever to crack the Billboard Top 20 (and no relation to the later Katy Perry tune) — she’s always pushed forward\, exploring new sounds and subject matter with each passing album and refusing to be pigeonholed by her early hits (which also include the ‘90s alt-rock anthem “Supermodel\,” featured in an iconic scene in the film Clueless).\n\n \n\nAlong the way\, Jill has shared stages with the likes of Billy Bragg\, Cyndi Lauper and Warren Zevon\, written music for TV and theater\, and been a pioneer in the art of crowdfunding\, raising so much money for her 2009 album California Years that a then-unknown startup called Kickstarter came to her for advice. She’s also been active in numerous social and political causes\, performing at prisons as part of Wayne Kramer’s Jail Guitar Doors project\, playing dates with Lady Parts Justice’s “Vagical Mystery Tour\,” and curating Monster Protest Jams Vol. 1\, featuring protest songs by Tom Morello\, Billy Bragg\, Boots Riley\, Amanda Palmer\, Jackson Browne and many other great artists — including Jill’s own “When They Say We Want Our America Back\, What the F#@k Do They Mean?”\, which traces the history of anti-immigrant sentiment in America.\n\n \n\nFor Nostalgia Kills\, Jill worked with her good friend\, Australian singer-songwriter Ben Lee\, to cull the album’s 11 songs from a collection of over 100\, representing nearly a decade’s worth of material accumulated since the release of California Years. In turning those songs into an album\, she received a little extra motivation from an unlikely source.\n\n \n\n“I was at an industry party\,” she recalls. “And I heard this total douche saying\, you know\, once someone reaches the age of 40\, they can’t write a good song. And I went up to him and I was like\, ‘You don’t know me\, but you’re an idiot.’”\n\n \n\nMaking it her mission to prove her new nemesis wrong\, Jill took the songs into Lee’s home studio in Los Angeles with a supporting cast of players that included John Doe (X)\, Wayne Kramer (The MC5)\, Petra Haden (That Dog)\, Roger Joseph Manning Jr. (Jellyfish)\, and Richard Barone (The Bongos). “This was done with a lot of friends\,” she says. “It was very organic.” Many of the final mixes even contain elements of the original demos\, recorded with various apps on Jill’s iPad.\n\n \n\nRight from the jump\, Nostalgia Kills proves that this songwriter\, despite being a few years north of 40\, is still at the peak of her powers. How many artists of any age can write a song like “I Don’t Wanna Wake Up\,” an Old Testament head trip inspired by a bad breakup\, the death of a parent\, and microdosing mushrooms? Let alone have the nerve to make it their album’s opening track?\n\n \n\nFrom there\, Nostalgia Kills explores its titular theme through a collection of songs that ponder the past without ever lapsing into easy sentimentality. “I Put My Headphones On\,” as catchy as anything in Jill’s catalog\, captures the cozy feeling of tuning out the outside world with a favorite record. “Almost Great” is a ukulele-laced ode to youthful brushes with success and adult battles with procrastination. “Forbidden Thoughts of Youth” is a beautifully rendered portrait of adolescent unrequited love\, as Jill looks back at her first gay crush (“an incredible combination of Marcia Brady and future meth-smoking biker chick”).\n\n \n\n“Headphones” and “Forbidden Thoughts” will be part of #Fuck7thGrade\, a one-woman show about “the worst year of my life\,” and just the latest of Jill’s many forays into theater. Nostalgia Kills features new versions of several of Jill’s best songs for the stage: “There’s Nothing I Can Do” is a defiant breakup anthem from the off-off-Broadway musical Prozak and the Platypus\, sung from the perspective of a rebellious 17-year-old girl. “25 Cents” is from Times Square\, a new musical based on the 1980 cult film of the same name — and Jill’s own memories of visiting New York City as a teenager\, back when the city was still “scary and fascinating and full of junkies.” And the gorgeous ballad “Tomorrow Is Breaking My Heart” is one of several original songs Jill wrote for a new adaptation of Yentl\, Isaac Bashevis Singer’s tale of gender-bending romance later made famous by Barbra Streisand’s film adaptation.\n\n \n\nThere are two versions of “Tomorrow Is Breaking” on Nostalgia Kills — a mournful duet with John Doe\, and a special bonus track version featuring an amateur musician named Nicholas Ford\, who made a pledge to the Nostalgia Kills Kickstarter campaign in which the prize was to sing a duet with Jill. “I decided to do it in a different style with a piano and he kicked ass\,” she says proudly of Nicholas’ crooning accompaniment.\n\n \n\nNostalgia Kills’ bonus tracks also include “The Donor Song\,” on which Jill gives shout-outs to her Kickstarter backers (including Avengers director and Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon\, whom Jill calls “my personal lord and savior” because he donated at the highest level)\, as well as lovely covers of The Stairsteps’ soul classic “O-o-h Child” and “Don’t Let Us Get Sick\,” a heartbreakingly beautiful\, late-career ballad by Jill’s friend and mentor\, Warren Zevon\, with whom she tour shortly before his death in 2003. “He used to come out during my set to sing ‘I Kissed a Girl’ with me\,” Jill remembers. “He would always wink at me when we would sing ‘They can have their diamonds and we’ll have are pearls’ to let me know he got the clitoral reference.”\n\n \n\nFor all its graceful\, funny and heartbreaking explorations of awkward youth and grown-up regrets\, Nostalgia Kills is as of-the-moment as anything in Jill Sobule’s catalog. Through her own experiences\, she explores issues our society still collectively struggles with (LGBTQ rights\, teen mental health\, our unhealthy obsession with staying forever young) and gently skewers our tendency to dwell on the past at the expense of addressing the present. As she sings on the title track: “We look at ourselves in a long row of mirrors/We get smaller and smaller with each passing year/We have to keep moving or die.”

SUMMARY:Performance:John Popper
DESCRIPTION:One of the most phenomenal harmonica players in history\, John Popper formed his band\, Blues Traveler\, with his high school friends Brendan Hill (drums)\, Chan Kinchla (guitar) and Bobby Sheehan (bass)\, in the late 80s\, in New York City. They released their debut album in 1990 and hit the billboards with 1994's “Four.\" Following Blues Traveler's mainstream success\, Popper was able to release a solo album\, Zygote\, in 1999 and toured with his own John Popper Band. Zygote was produced by Terry Manning with the background band consisting of longtime friends Dave Ares\, Crugie Riccio\, and Rob Clores of Cycomotogoat\, and Carter Beauford\, the drummer of Dave Matthews Band. The album's release came only less than three months after his heart surgery\, and days after the death of Bobby Sheehan\, Popper's best friend and band mate. Unfortunately\, The subsequent tour was canceled midway due to poor ticket sales. Although his stage performances were becoming fewer\, he made a major appearance on the big screen taking his first actual role in a movie\, Just for the Time Being (2000)\, with supermodel Eva Herzigova. Soon after\, Blues Traveler rejoined forces with two new members\, and they have been touring and releasing albums ever since. This year marks the 30th anniversary of Blue Traveler as a band.\n\nPopper has co-written songs with Trey Anastasio\, Warren Haynes\, Chris Barron\, and Jonny Lang. He also frequently appears as a guest performer with musicians both famous and obscure\, from a diverse variety of genres. He has performed with\, among others\, jam bands Spin Doctors\, Dave Matthews Band\, Phish\, The Allman Brothers Band\, bluesmen Eric Clapton and B.B. King\; singer-songwriters Jason Mraz and John Mayer\; saxophonist Karl Denson\; San Francisco's Culann's Hounds\; heavy metal band Metallica\; rock trio ZO2 and even with the Hungarian Ambassador to the United States\, András Simonyi and then-vice-presidential-candidate Tim Kaine.\n\nIn addition to Popper’s musical accomplishments\, he has appeared in a cameo in several films: the Farrelly Brothers' Kingpin (1996) (which included a Blues Traveler performance at the end)\, Howard Stern's Private Parts (1997)\, Blues Brothers 2000 (1998)\, and The Meddler (2016).\n\nLos Angeles songwriter Katrina Woolverton opens.

SUMMARY:Performance:Johnny Irion
DESCRIPTION:Now and then in American culture\, the written word fuses the worlds of music and literature. Bob Dylan’s Nobel Prize is only the most obvious example.  An individual singer-songwriter can sometimes embody that fusion in his life and work. An example Johnny Irion (EYE-ree-on)\, great-nephew of John Steinbeck and grandson-in-law of Woody Guthrie. Johnny's new solo album\, \"Driving Friend\,\" includes members of Dawes\, Wilco and the Mother Hips and ranges across a wide expanse of roots genres\, from blues and gospel to folk and country. Whether Johnny Irion is singing about Santa Barbara\, Pittsfield or the Rapture\, his sharp wit\, telling description\, and sharp character studies take us to a musical hometown of his own.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AE 585 Seminar Series - Relevance of Aircraft and Ship Wakes to Modern Problems of Ocean Remote Sensing and Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:The subject of wake dynamics has been studied for well over 100 years.  Control-volume analysis and boundary-layer theory have led to methods for computing drag and estimating basic properties of wakes\, such as decay and spreading rates\, whereas empirical flight testing expanded knowledge important for safe separation of aircraft during landing and takeoff.    In general\, it is well known that wakes from practical configurations are comprised of momentum sources and sinks\, vortical structures\, turbulence\, and gravity waves.   Furthermore\, spatiotemporal description of wake evolution is a function of vehicle configuration\, operational details (such as speed\, heading\, and altitude/depth)\, and the structure and properties of the environment.\n\nToday\, wake physics is important for a number of modern problems\, including ocean remote sensing\, aviation-induced cloudiness\, and even the use of bubbly ship wakes for geoengineering Earth's future climate.    The hallmark of these problems is their multi-physics and multi-scale nature which presents significant challenges to computational modeling and design of useful experiments.  In this talk\, these problems will be introduced and discussed\, including relevance\, formulation\, status\, and prognosis.  \n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nEric Paterson is the Rolls-Royce Commonwealth Professor and Head of the Kevin T. Crofton Department of Aerospace and Ocean Engineering at Virginia Tech.  His research is in the general area of computational mechanics\, and over the past 30 years he has worked on numerous diverse applications\, including\; naval hydrodynamics\, remote and in-situ sensing\, wind turbines\, ocean renewable energy\, deployable space structures\, implantable cardiovascular devices\, and biomimetic trace detectors.\n\nIn the spirit of Virginia Tech's motto Ut Prosim (\"That I May Serve\")\, Dr. Paterson as Editor in Chief of SNAME's Journal of Ship Research\, Chair of Education for AIAA\, member of the Board of Trustees for the AIAA Foundation\, Vice-Chair of the Aerospace Department Chairs Association\, and as a member of several university and industry advisory boards and conference organizing committees.

SUMMARY:Performance:Donovan Woods
DESCRIPTION:Donovan Woods's work is guided by a mantra that only sounds simple: Good songs win. Donovan\, a Juno Award nominee\, was raised in the small city of Sarnia\, Ontario\, to the sounds of country music\, with a healthy dose of folk and pop\, a combination that instilled in him a strong belief in the power of a good melody\, the importance of everyday language\, and the potential of a carefully crafted song. While amassing a catalogue of rousing and acclaimed music of his own\, he has worked with some of the top songwriters in North America to craft cuts for performers ranging from Alan Doyle to Billy Currington. It’s not that Woods makes music that is a product of both country and folk\; it’s that he makes music that shows how distracting the line separating the two can be. Like with so many songwriters of note\, what matters isn’t what you call it\, or where it comes from\, but the stories you tell\, and the voice you use. Woods's is a voice that demands attention\, and that attention has been quick in coming\, bringing international accolades\, a growing number of fans inside and outside the music industry\, and proclamations like \"Canada’s best-kept secret\,\" \"piercingly honest\,\" and \"quietly anthemic.\" He comes to Michigan with a new album\, \"Both Ways.\"\n\nThis show is free at the door to Ark members at the Solo level and above.

SUMMARY:Performance:Carl Broemel of My Morning Jacket with Steelism
DESCRIPTION:Carl Broemel has appeared on Rolling Stone's list of 20 New Guitar Gods\, but that doesn't cover his divine presence. A linchpin of the phenomenally successful Louisville neo-psychedelic rock band My Morning Jacket\, he has released three solo albums\, including the new \"Wished Out.\" Solo\, he plays acoustic instruments and takes an introspective approach. \"It takes a lot of time to know your mind\,\" Carl says and that Zen-like statement informs his intimate musings on life\, reflecting on things as they are and making no judgment on how they should be. The music of Carl Broemel gives pause for thought but stops well short of preaching. It inhabits little fractured moments that invite the listener into thoughtful contemplation that in turn gives rise to epiphanies on larger themes.

SUMMARY:Performance:Trace Bundy & Sungha Junga
DESCRIPTION:Internationally acclaimed guitar virtuoso Trace Bundy must be seen\, not just heard. His music is poetry in motion\, using harmonics\, looping\, multiple capos\, and his unique banter and stage presence to deliver an unforgettable live concert experience. Listening to his intricate arrangements is one thing\, but seeing the fan-dubbed \"Acoustic Ninja\" play live confounds even the most accomplished music lovers as to how one person can do all that with just two hands and ten fingers. Trace’s unique career has brought him across the world\, with concerts in 28 countries and counting - from high-tech performance halls in South Korea and Italy\, to remote villages in Zimbabwe and Guatemala. He has independently sold over 125\,000 albums on his record label\, Honest Ninja Music. His video clips circulate virally at astonishing speed\, with over 40 million YouTube views to date. Jimmy Leslie at Guitar Player blogs “It was easy to see why Bundy plays bigger venues on each tour. In his hands\, the acoustic guitar is an imagination station\, and there was no telling where he is going take the audience at any given turn. Thrilling stuff.” Audiocast from Austin\, TX agrees: \"Bundy's live show is without a doubt an event that needs to be witnessed rather than told about. With such a jaw-dropping performance\, Bundy's live concert is a slap in the face that would leave a palm print on the memory of everyone in the audience.\"\n\nOne of the most sought-after young artists in the world today\, Sungha Jung began playing the guitar at the age of 10 and learned his exceptional guitar skills solely from watching other musicians on the Internet. Sungha Jung’s YouTube channel ‘jwcfree’ has garnered a phenomenal 1.5 billion views with over 5 million subscribers worldwide since its launch in 2006. Since the release of his debut album \"Perfect Blue{ in 2010\, the aspiring young musician has now had 8 solo albums out and tours all over the world every year as a professional fingerstyle guitar player.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Western Den
DESCRIPTION:To find a musical soulmate\, someone with whom to explore your innermost feelings\, unite artistic languages\, and craft a shared voice is a daunting\, even mysterious\, undertaking. Some writers spend years searching and never uncover the other half they seek\; for others\, a partnership just flicks on like a light. The origin story of the hauntingly beautiful duo The Western Den is wonderfully curious in just this way: Deni Hlavinka\, an introspective pianist from small-town Virginia\, posted a song idea on a college forum for accepted students. Chris West\, a bright-eyed guitarist from Bermuda\, sent back the song the following day in finished form. Upon meeting in person\, they discovered their musical—and personal—bond was eerily close\; there was never a discussion of forming a band\, never a conscious choice\, it just happened\, fueled by a sheer desire\, a necessity to pursue what felt right.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AE585 Seminar Series - Adaptive Structures at 800 G's
DESCRIPTION:The discussion will present the system-level perspective regarding the employment of adaptive geometry for rotary-wing propulsors\, such as propellers and rotors.  The capability to change configuration during use of a system offers dramatically improved performance by replacing the single static geometry that represents a compromise across use cases left unattended to complete its design life\, with a state-changing system capable of a range of geometries each customized for the particular operating condition.  The presentation will touch on the complexity added with incorporating active means to control formerly passive components\, and the ensuing need for sensing and intelligence.  \n\nApplying any new technology to aviation involves a number of technical\, financial\, cultural and regulatory challenges.  Applying to rotary-wing propulsion introduces yet more.  The presentation will address the relationship between the push by researchers and developers to insert new technology\, the pull required by operators and users\, and the variety and impacts of risks on the perspective of each.  \n\nThe presentation will address the challenges to be overcome for rotary-wing adaptation in aviation\, some of them in work and some still ahead\, in the context of nature’s aviation examples and the history of manufactured morphing aircraft.\n\nAbout the Speaker...\n\nDaniel Newman is a Senior Technical Fellow of the Boeing Company in aircraft configuration design and development. He serves as Chief Engineer for the Advanced Vertical Lift organization in Defense\, Space\, and Security\, responsible for the technical integrity of research for a full range of runway independent technologies\, products and services including rotorcraft\, tiltrotor and powered lift aircraft. He also supports commercial airplane product development focusing on advanced concepts. Mr. Newman previously served as a program manager at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in the Tactical Technologies Office\, responsible for a variety of developments in unmanned aircraft\, high-fidelity modeling\, sensors\, airspace network and architecture\, and aircraft survivability. Prior to DARPA he was a Technical Fellow of The Boeing Company in a variety of roles on the RAH-66 Comanche Program and in the Advanced Rotorcraft organization. He served as the Technical Director of the Vertical Flight Society (formerly AHS International)\, the premier global vertical flight technical society. He served as an Adjunct Professor in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania. He received his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Cornell University and his Masters in Aerospace Engineering from the Alfred Gessow Rotorcraft Center at the University of Maryland.

SUMMARY:Performance:Chris Buhalis
DESCRIPTION:Chris Buhalis was born and raised on Detroit's east side\, but his songs come from places you can only find if you stick out your thumb and follow fate's lead. Covering territory from Alaska's whiskey-soaked bars to the spark- and steel-filled auto plants of Detroit\, Chris writes songs that speak of real people in real situations. Chris has appeared on radio's \"Acoustic Cafe\" and shared stages with the likes of David Bromberg\, Catie Curtis\, and Dave Van Ronk. Current praises Chris Buhalis for \"beautiful\, effortless Americana as honest and gently insightful as any you've heard\,\" and if you haven't heard this institution of Michigan songwriting yet\, tonight would be a great time!

SUMMARY:Performance:Steve Poltz
DESCRIPTION:Steve Poltz is not normal. He was born in Halifax\, Nova Scotia (Canada)\, but has lived most of his life in southern California\, and those geographic poles are quite likely responsible for his unhinged genius. Over the course of his life he’s met Elvis Presley (who hugged his sister for far too long)\, trick-or-treated at Liberace’s house (each finger had a diamond ring)\, was Bob Hope’s favorite altar boy (according to him)\, bravely traveled the world busking before he knew how to do it\, famously co-wrote “You Were Meant For Me” with Jewel\, pissed off David Cassidy\, and can count some of the world’s coolest people as fans. He’s also an ex–high school wrestler (98-pound class)\, an obsessed baseball fan\, a yoga practitioner\, a hopeless romantic\, a smart-ass philosopher and a child-like adventurer/observer with an absurdist’s view of this crazy world and the various life-forms that inhabit it.

SUMMARY:Performance:Jeremy Kittel's Kittel & Co.
DESCRIPTION:Previously of the Grammy-winning Turtle Island Quartet\, Jeremy Kittel has been a composer-arranger-collaborator for such diverse artists as My Morning Jacket\, Yo-Yo Ma & the Silk Road Ensemble\, and Bela Fleck & Abigail Washburn. He blazes through a Bach violin partita as easily as a Scottish reel\, bringing the same intense focus and precision to both. For the last few years the Michigan native\, now based in Brooklyn\, has been diligently building his own repertoire of music for a wholly original new group.\n\nThis Kittel and Co. show features mandolin phenom Josh Pinkham (named “the future of the mandolin” by Mandolin Magazine)\, guitarist Quinn Bachand (who's toured with fiddling icons Ashley MacIsaac and Natalie MacMaster)\, and hammer-dulcimer wizard Simon Chrisman (acclaimed for bringing a new tonal flexibility to the instrument).\n\nKittel & Co’s highly anticipated new album Whorls was just released June 29.

DESCRIPTION:Peter Asher of Peter & Gordon joins forces on stage with Jeremy Clyde of Chad & Jeremy for an evening of music and stories! You'll hear not only songs\, and the stories behind the songs from the 1960s heyday of these two British Invasion giants\, but also tales of their later careers—Jeremy has gone on to successes on television (\"Downton Abbey\") and film (\"The Iron Lady\")\, and Peter has worked as producer and manager to James Taylor\, Linda Ronstadt\, and other members of the next folk generation. Together\, Peter Asher and Jeremy Clyde were responsible for 30 Billboard chart hits. This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to relive the folk-pop of the 1960s with the people who made it!

SUMMARY:Performance:The Dustbowl Revival
DESCRIPTION:The Dustbowl Revival is a Venice\, California-based collective that merges old-school bluegrass\, gospel\, jug-band\, swamp blues\, and the hot swing of the 1930’s to form a spicy roots cocktail. Known for their inspired live sets\, The Dustbowl Revival boldly brings together many styles of traditional American music. Imagine Old Crow Medicine Show meeting Louis Armstrong’s Hot Seven Band in New Orleans or Bob Dylan and Fats Waller jamming with Mumford & Sons on a front porch in 1938. Growing steadily from a small string band playing up and down the West Coast (hundreds shows in the last two years)\, DBR has blossomed into a traveling collective featuring instrumentation that often includes fiddle\, mandolin\, trombone\, clarinet\, trumpet\, banjo\, accordion\, tuba\, pedal steel\, drums\, guitars\, a bass made from a canoe oar\, harmonica\, and plenty of washboard and kazoo for luck. Nashville (not Roanoke) Americana-folk band Roanoke opens.

SUMMARY:Performance:The War and Treaty
DESCRIPTION:As The War and Treaty\, Michael and Tanya Trotter serve up healing and pain robbing with freewheeling joy on their new full-length album\, \"Healing Tide.\" Funky bass lines\, keys\, lap steel\, acoustic strings\, and stripped-down percussion create a swampy Southern soul bed for the couple’s transcendent vocals. A tour-de-force produced by Buddy Miller\, the collection swaggers with confidence only gained by artists who are wholly\, proudly\, themselves. Michael is a wounded warrior who found his voice while serving in Iraq\, when he was pulled from the frontlines to write songs for the fallen. Tanya is a lifelong artist\, drawn to singing’s power to take another’s pain away. “You have to have a deep place of love within yourself to be vulnerable\,” Tanya says. “With The War and Treaty\, we allow people to see two people that are not perfect. We get on stage. We sweat. We’re overweight. We yell. We get ugly\, we scream! My hair comes loose. We’re vulnerable––naked––in front of people\, and it’s a chain reaction. It allows them to be vulnerable\, too.” The War and Treaty’s music and stories bring tears and goosebumps\, but ultimately\, more is at work. “I want people to feel like we care\,” Michael says. “When you think about artists\, you don’t think about that.” He pauses and grins broadly. “But that’s the way I want the world to feel about The War and Treaty.” Songwriter Courtney Marie Andrews opens the show.

SUMMARY:Performance:Keller Williams Duo
DESCRIPTION:Keller writes: \"Usually\, I play places without seats. My looping show comes in handy at those establishments.  Occasionally\, I'm allowed to play really nice places with actual places to sit. It's these types of places that I feel acoustic music is truly what the rooms were intended for. With that in mind\, I'm proud to announce that Danton Boller on the big acoustic double bass will join me as a duo in those almost perfect rooms. Just because these shows are loopless\, it doesn't mean it won't be super funky. Funk is in the mind\, the soul and also in the right hand of Danton Boller. I'm excited to explore the ideas of acoustic dance music with only the big bass\, a couple of acoustic guitars and a whole lotta songs to choose from. Danton is in my band KWahtro and has done a bunch of Grateful Grass gigs so ... these shows could get real freaky. Feel free to vibe off my stoke.\"

DESCRIPTION:Amy Ray teamed up with Emily Saliers while in high school\, and soon the duo became a staple in the Atlanta music scene. In 1981\, their independent music career began with a basement recording called Tuesday's Children. One thing led to another\, and they signed with Epic Records in 1988. Despite almost polar-opposite styles\, they met on the common ground of harmony and the love of meaningful music. Ray brought fire and earth\, Saliers the wind and water. Since the release of her 2001 album\, \"Stag\,\" however\, she's had an independent career that is different from\, and complements\, that of the parent duo. Amy has released seven albums\, and she comes to The Ark with an eighth\, the country-flavored \"Holler.\" Tennessee \"Southern gothic\" songwriter Amythyst Kiah opens.

SUMMARY:Performance:Front Country
DESCRIPTION:An acoustic band born in the land of tech innovation\, Front Country was unlikely to be accepted as an authentic American roots band out of the gate.  Cutting their teeth in progressive bluegrass jams in San Francisco’s Mission District and rehearsing across the bay in Oakland\, they fashioned their own take on roots music and Indie Folk\, with the tools they had on hand.  A mandolinist with a degree in composition and classical guitar.  A guitarist trained in rock and world music.  A bassist equally versed in jazz and newgrass.  A violinist with technique that could seamlessly hop between honky tonk and electropop. And a female lead singer with grit and soul that was also a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter.  In a wood-paneled country dive bar in the shadow of the San Francisco skyline\, Front Country forged a sound hell bent on merging the musical past with the future.  The result lies somewhere between Indie Folk and Americana\, in a nether-region they've come to embrace as their own.

SUMMARY:Performance:Dick Siegel
DESCRIPTION:Dick Siegel won the Best New Folk Artist award at the Kerrville Folk Festival in Texas\, and he's inspired plenty of songwriters in Michigan and beyond.

SUMMARY:Performance:Gabriel Kahane
DESCRIPTION:The day after the 2016 presidential election\, singer-songwriter Gabriel Kahane boarded a train at Penn Station and traveled 8\,980 miles around the continental U.S. with no phone or internet access\, talking to dozens of strangers in an attempt to better understand his country and fellow citizens. The resulting album\, Book of Travelers\, marks Gabriel’s debut for Nonesuch Records. By turns sprawling and intimate\, this collection of songs is at once a prayer for empathy and reconciliation\, as well as an unflinching examination of the complex and often troubled history of the United States.

SUMMARY:Performance:Over The Rhine
DESCRIPTION:2018 Christmas Tour Thoughts\n\n One December\, not long after Over the Rhine began recording and touring\, we were invited to perform some seasonal songs on a public radio station. So we worked up a few carols and traditional tunes. It actually felt really good and conjured up an unusual mix of feelings from childhood: innocence\, loss\, wonder\, joy\, sadness. I think we were surprised.\nOn our 2018 tour\, we will be performing as a trio\, leaning into three-part harmonies and making an intimate but hopefully holy ruckus. It won’t be all Christmas music: we’ll certainly mix in tunes from many of our records along the way. But hopefully it’s still true\; that you haven’t heard anything quite like it.

SUMMARY:Performance:Blackthorn
DESCRIPTION:A Blackthorn show is a musical ramble across Ireland. Traditional songs of emigration\, ballads\, shanties and jigs and reels combine with some of Ireland’s best contemporary songs for a musical experience that is uniquely Irish. Each of the band’s five members plays multiple instruments\, including flute\, accordion\, tin whistle\, fiddle\, banjo\, cittern\, bodhran\, and more. These instruments complement the lead vocal of Belfast native Richard McMullan and the band’s tight blend of four-part harmony. This band has been bringing a rich tapestry of Celtic music to southeast Michigan and beyond for 30 years\, and they're a must-see for those who want to know the deep traditions of Irish music in Michigan. And\, this being December\, there may be a holiday tune or two!

SUMMARY:Performance:Three Women & The Truth: M Gauthier\, E Gilkyson\, G Peters
DESCRIPTION:Announcement: \n\nDear Friends\,\n\n I am so sorry I won’t be able to get on a plane today and play these shows with my wonderful 3WATT friends Gretchen Peters and Mary Gauthier. Last night at 2 a.m. I rolled over and felt a stabbing pain in my upper right torso. Things went downhill from there into full blown shingles by dawn\, the kind that never erupt on the surface but stay under your skin\, causing agonizing nerve pain. Yikes!\n\nThe good news is the show will go on in grand style-I know Mary and Gretchen will kill it as they always do-two of my favorite songwriters and performers in the world\, both of them Grammy nominated and at the top of their game.  And if that ain’t enough Austin’s biggest buzz\, singer-songwriter Jaimee Harris will be on board to play her heart out as well. Barry Walsh will also be joining Mary and Gretchen on piano at the Ark in Ann Arbor and at Chicago City Winery - making for one great night of music.\n\nI’m sure you will enjoy this show\, and please know I will be back around as soon as I am able.\n\nThank you!\n\nEliza Gilkyson\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\nEliza Gilkyson\n\n \n\nTwice Grammy Nominated folksinger Eliza Gilkyson has just released her 20th album\, Secularia\, a collection of songs old and new that reflect her ongoing search for meaningful spirituality without the constraints of traditional religious belief systems\, replacing dominant ideology with a more inclusive perspective that embraces compassion\, self-awareness and respect for the natural world in a culture she feels is “wavering between collapse and reinvention”. Produced by her son\, Cisco Ryder\, (Nocturne Diaries\, Roses at the End of Time\, Red Horse)\, with a spare urban approach\, the recording features songs of grief\, gratitude and wonder\, a call for accountability and a true moral compass for these divisive times.\n\n \n\n“Secularia is a series of poems and hymns\, deeply spiritual songs that praise the wonder and beauty of the world\, that lament its destruction\, and that celebrate the joy of the mystery that lies behind its wild wonder.”\n\n   --- No Depression\n\n***\n\n \n\nGretchen Peters \n\n \n\nFor two decades\, Gretchen Peters has been one of Nashville's most beloved and respected artists. Inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in October 2014 by singer-songwriter Rodney Crowell\, who called her \"a songwriter and a poet (who) sings as beautifully as she writes” Peters has accumulated accolades as a songwriter for artists as diverse as Etta James\, Bonnie Raitt\, The Neville Brothers\, Patty Loveless\, George Strait\, Bryan Adams and Faith Hill. In 2015\, The Telegraph (UK) named her one of the greatest 60 female singer-songwriters of all time.\n\n \n\n“…songs that manage\, with deft use of language\, to cram a whole epic into three minutes. Astonishingly good writing.” – Pop Matters\n\n \n\n***\n\n“With songwriting as powerful as hers\, there’s no need to go looking for qualifiers. She’s a unique\, intrinsically valuable musical voice. And there’s never a surplus of those.” 
— Randy Lewis\, Los Angeles Time\n\n \n\nThe Associated Press named Mary Gauthier as one of the best songwriters of her generation. Her songs have been recorded by dozens of artists\, including Jimmy Buffett\, Blake Shelton\, Tim McGraw\, Bettye Lavette Mike Farris\, Kathy Mattea\, Bobby Bare\, Amy Helm and Candi Staton\, and have appeared extensively in Film and Television\, most recently on Yellowstone. Her album\, Filth and Fire (2002) was named Best Independent CD of the year by the New York Times\, and Mary was signed to Universal Lost Highway. Her following 5 records were listed in both the LA Times and NY Times top three releases of the year. She was awarded New Artist of the year by The Americana Music Association in 2005\, and her record Mercy Now was named in the top 5 records of the decade by No Depression magazine. Her most recent release\, Rifles & Rosary Beads  ( a collection of sons co-written with wounded veterans) was nominated for 2018’s record of the year by the Americana Music Association as well she was nominated for a Grammy in 2018 for Best Folk Recording category.\n\nThree Women

DESCRIPTION:Full of energy and surprise\, wit and subtlety\, Twisted Pine has quickly become one of the most acclaimed young string bands in the Northeast. Audiences across the U.S. and beyond have been drawn to their forthright songwriting\, lush harmonies\, and musical daring.

SUMMARY:Performance:Mountain Heart
DESCRIPTION:Mountain Heart offers bluegrass and more. This band as been fearlessly revolutionizing the way acoustic music can be presented and played. The band's name has been synonymous with cutting-edge excellence in bluegrass circles since the group's creation. Widely known throughout the music industry for continually redefining the boundaries of acoustic music\, the band has gained legions of loyal fans as a result of both their superlative musicianship and their incendiary live performances. Mountain Heart's music always fell just barely under the bluegrass umbrella\, and now\, from large outdoor folk music\, Americana\, jam band\, and bluegrass festivals\, to sold-out shows opening for Southern rock icons like The Marshall Tucker Band\, The Tedeschi Trucks Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd\, Mountain Heart has been making an undeniable connection with wider audiences. Whenever they come to The Ark\, they tear the house down—and at last year'sAnn Arbor Folk Festival\, they just had a bigger house to tear down.

SUMMARY:Performance:Shari Kane & Dave Steele and Red Tail Ring
DESCRIPTION:Laurel Premo and Michael Beauchamp of Red Tail Ring create lush\, intricate arrangements of original folk music and traditional ballads with banjo\, fiddle\, guitar\, and close harmonies. American Roots UK hails them as \"the very best of the 21st century’s minimalist and highly original folk music ... a peerless duo.\" Their latest\, \"Fall Away Blues\,\" features new songwriting fused with old-time and country blues themes\, tackling topical subjects such as gun violence and environmentalism as well as age-old questions of place and love. Red Tail Ring \"doesn’t just pay homage to vintage folk and roots music: The Kalamazoo duo breathes new life into it\, channeling the power and charm of seminal material into its own original songs\,\" says west Michigan critic John Sinkevics.\n\nShari Kane and Dave Steele first met in the summer of 1991\, crossing paths as performing blues musicians: Shari was the partner of harmonica legend\, Madcat Ruth (Madcat & Kane)\, while Dave was leading the electric blues band Big Dave and the Ultrasonics. Friends\, neighbors\, fellow musicians and fans have asked over the years\, \"When are you two going to start playing together?\" The truth is\, they've been playing together since their first date. In many ways their playing has developed side by side\, listening to and learning from great acoustic blues guitarists from the past. As an acoustic blues duo\, Shari and Dave throw a four-handed guitar party of original and time-honored blues\, gospel\, swing and ragtime. Steeped in Dave’s smoky vocals\, percussive rhythm\, and innovative lead lines\, and Shari’s crisp picking style\, rootsy leads\, and stinging slidework\, their music has been described as \"street swing and stomp blues\"—like a testament to sounds once heard on the streets of Harlem\, the juke joints of Mississippi\, or from the jug bands of Memphis

DESCRIPTION:Speakers:\n- Naomi André\, Associate Professor in Women’s Studies\, Afroamerican and African Studies\, and Associate Director for Faculty at the Residential College\n- Abigail Stewart\, Sandra Schwartz Tangri Distinguished University Professor of Psychology and Women's Studies\n- Gabriela Cruz\, Associate Professor of Musicology\, School of Music\, Theatre & Dance\n\nFrom classic films like Carmen Jones to contemporary works like The Diary of Sally Hemings and U-Carmen eKhayelitsa\, American and South African artists and composers have used opera to reclaim black people's place in history.\n\nIn her recent book from the University of Illinois Press (2018)\, Naomi André draws on the experiences of performers and audiences to explore this music's resonance with today's listeners. Interacting with creators and performers\, as well as with the works themselves\, André reveals how black opera unearths suppressed truths. These truths provoke complex\, if uncomfortable\, reconsideration of racial\, gender\, sexual\, and other oppressive ideologies. Opera\, in turn\, operates as a cultural and political force that employs an immense\, transformative power to represent or even liberate.\n\nThis event is part of IRWG's Gender: New Works\, New Questions series\, which spotlights recent publications by U-M faculty members and allows for deeper discussion by an interdisciplinary panel.\n\nAttendees will have a chance to win a free copy of the book! Must be present at the beginning of the event to win.

SUMMARY:Performance:Dead Horses and The Brother Brothers
DESCRIPTION:Dead Horses is vocalist/guitarist Sarah Vos and vocalist/bassist Daniel Wolff\, sometimes augmented by other musicians as needed. Originally hailing from a small Wisconsin town made world famous by a pair of overalls (Oshkosh\, B'Gosh)\, the now Milwaukee-based folk band have cultivated a sensibility beyond their years due in part to the powerful literary force that is frontwoman and songwriter Vos. Raised on Bible hymns by her preacher father\, she has a backstory that sounds more like that of an old bluesman from the Mississippi Delta than that of a young folk singer from Wisconsin. Despite their youth\, Dead Horses have crafted a timeless sound\, informed as much by modern Americana as it is by traditional roots music. They've worked with producer Ken Coomer (Wilco\, Uncle Tupelo) who later invited the band to his studio to record the album\, \"Cartoon Moon.\" No Depression called their current album\, \"My Mother the Moon\,\" one of the best of 2018 so far.\n\nThe Brother Brothers\, twins\, are Brooklyn's Adam and Davis Moss. They offer rich harmonies and thoughtful songs accompanied by guitar\, cello\, violin\, and banjo in a coherent way that only musicians from the same family can achieve.  Already established players and composers in a wide spectrum of genres around New York and beyond\, they finally teamed up to bring their individual experiences together. Among their fans is Sarah Jarosz\, who raves: \"They approach their poignant and often charming songs with an almost startling sense of ease\, and the tight harmonies are enough to send shivers down anyone’s spine. Their ability to pull the listener into their quietly energetic musical journey is a joy to behold.\" The Brother Brothers come to Michigan with their brand new debut album\, \"Some People I Know.

SUMMARY:Performance:Ellis Paul
DESCRIPTION:\"I got a word machine in my head. It's a damn noisy contraption. Constantly running. No 'off' switch\,\" says Ellis Paul. After growing up on a potato farm in northern Maine\, Ellis started writing songs while he was attending Boston College on a track scholarship and was laid up for several months with an injury. He's often called the quintessential New England songwriter\, and he's got more than a dozen of Boston Music Awards to prove it. Ellis's passionate\, literate character sketches\, delivered in a soaring\, lyrical voice\, have influenced a generation of folk songwriters toward the shamelessly poetic. The Boston Globe calls Ellis \"literate\, provocative\, urbanely romantic.\" Whatever you call him\, he's one of the major songwriters of our time. Says Absolute Punk\, which you might not think would be reviewing Ellis's albums: \"Everyone can relate to Ellis Paul and his songs\, and for that reason he continues to be a national treasure.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Mustard's Retreat
DESCRIPTION:From their start at an open mic at the Ark in the summer of 1974\, this award-winning duo consisting of David Tamulevich and Michael Hough has become a perennial favorite\, not only here in southeastern Michigan but all over the folk singer-songwriter circuit. Their songwriting and recordings have received consistently high praise\, and their live performances even more so. Their songs are touching\, humorous\, insightful\, and intelligent\, and their music is always revealing something new‑lately they've become a key presence in the consistently high-quality local songwriting collective the Yellow Room Gang. Mustard's Retreat recently celebrated their 40th anniversary as a duo\, and they're still creating \"music to cure what ails you\" anew!

SUMMARY:Performance:Kathy Mattea
DESCRIPTION:Hailed by the Washington Post as “one of Nashville’s finest song interpreters\,” Kathy Mattea has enjoyed the kind of success many artists only dream of: two Grammy wins\, four CMA Awards\, four #1 country singles\, and five gold albums (plus a platinum collection of her greatest hits). The dream almost ended\, though\, when Mattea entered her 50s and began to find her voice changing. What followed was a three-year journey through life challenges\, soul-searching\, and professional uncertainty\, a trying time of personal anguish that threatened to silence her permanently\, but instead brought her unexpected joy. Mattea dug in with a vocal coach\, re-committed to her music\, and emerged with the most poignant album of her career\, \"Pretty Bird.\" Working with her old friend\, music roots wizard Tim O’Brien\, producing\, she created a chronicle of her journey\, song by song\, back to singing for the sheer joy of it. From a playful take on Oliver Wood’s “Chocolate On My Tongue” to a tender rendition of Mary Gauthier’s “Mercy Now\,” from a British traditional song to a Bobbie Gentry classic\, these are the songs that helped Kathy Mattea reclaim her voice\, and she inhabits each as fully as if it were her own.

DESCRIPTION:The 7 p.m. show is sold out but tickets are still available for the 9:30 show\n\nMandolin Orange’s music radiates a mysterious warmth —their songs feel like whispered secrets\, one hand cupped to your ear. Ashleigh Phillips of Independent Weekly wrote that they craft \"simple songs that go beyond chord progressions and vocal harmonies\, leading somehow toward something pure.

It takes genius to be simple\, and this young duo has that kind of genius. They come to Michigan with a new release\, \"Tides of a Teardrop\,\" which they call their most personal effort. Always simple and quiet\, the songs of Mandolin Orange are music to treasure.\n\nL.A. psychedellic band Mapache opens.

SUMMARY:Performance:Ben Daniels Band
DESCRIPTION:Ben Daniels is the son of actor Jeff Daniels\, but that's very much the beginning of a story\, not the end. When Ben Daniels decided he was going to be a musician\, it was more than a career choice. A natural poet\, this young songwriter went to school on Bob Dylan\, Robert Johnson\, and Jack White\, among others. His lyrics speak directly to a younger generation that hears\, sees\, and thinks about the very things he’s writing. From their opening song to the finale of their set\, The Ben Daniels Band brings originality and musicianship to a sound that spans Americana\, blues\, jazz\, and rock. What Ben inherited from his father is\, perhaps\, a feeling for what it takes to live life as an artist\, to reach out and create not just songs but anthems with arrangements that pull people in. With seven CDs under their belts\, The Ben Daniels Band has grown to be a formidable group that sounds pleasantly familiar\, yet unforgettably unique

SUMMARY:Performance:Sierra Hull
DESCRIPTION:Sierra Hull first played the Grand Ole Opry stage at 11\, invited by Alison Krauss\, and she quickly became known as a bluegrass mandolin prodigy. She was celebrated\, yet adrift. Stranded\, even. What she felt at 22 was not what she felt at 12\, and the music Sierra Hull was writing and playing at home was different from the music she was making on stages. \"In some way\, I was needing to run from the thing that everybody thought I was being\,\" she says now\, at 25. Now\, after consulting with Krauss and with Béla Fleck (who says\, \"She plays the mandolin with a degree of refined elegance and freedom that few have achieved\")\, Alison Krauss\, who has won more Grammy awards than any female artist in history\, says of Sierra\, \"I think she’s endless. I don’t see any boundaries. Talent like hers is so rare\, and I don’t think it stops.\" Pretty soon she's going to be acoustic music royalty

SUMMARY:Performance:Ladysmith Black Mambazo
DESCRIPTION:Ladysmith Black Mambazo recently celebrated more than 50 years of joyous and uplifting music. Within this music are the intricate rhythms and harmonies of their native South African musical traditions. The group borrows heavily from a traditional music called isicathamiya (is-cot-a-ME-Ya)\, which developed in the mines of South Africa\, where black workers were taken by rail to work far away from their homes and their families. Assembled in the early 1960s in South Africa by Joseph Shabalala\, then a young farm boy turned factory worker\, the group took the name Ladysmith Black Mambazo. Ladysmith is the name of Joseph’s hometown\, about three hours west of Durban and three hours east of Johannesburg\; Black being a reference to the oxen\, the strongest of all farm animals\; and Mambazo being the Zulu word for chopping axe\, a symbol of the group’s ability to \"chop down\" any singing rival who might challenge them. A radio broadcast in 1970 opened the door to their first record contract—the beginning of an ambitious discography that currently includes more than 50 recordings (including Paul Simon's \"Graceland\") and has earned three Grammy awards

Her song \"There Are No Words\,\" written on September 11\, 2001\, has been performed by numerous other songwriters and has taken on a life of its own. Rich Warren of WFMT radio in Chicago has included Kitty on his list of the 50 most significant songwriters in the last 50 years. She has some great seasonal songs like \"The Michigan Waltz\" that may be making an appearance on tonight's show.

DESCRIPTION:Maybe you heard Jared Deck doing a wonderful set at the Ark stage during the 2018 Ann Arbor Art Fair—now he's back for a full evening of his remarkable music\, with a new album in tow. Jared takes life one fight at a time. \"The battle has always been internal\, overcoming my own failures and working to improve\,\" he says. Raised on the dusty plains of an Oklahoma family farm\, Jared worked in the fields as well as the town grocery\, owned by his parents. \"In a community of 1\,200 people\, big dreams seem impossible. We're taught to manage expectations\, put our nose down\, and get to work.\" Later he worked in an oilfield and a factory. During the Great Recession he got by with a job as a pianist in a black church\, where over the next six years\, he received an unparalleled musical education. Now\, with his self-titled debut album\, Jared tells stories in an honest voice of midland America. His song \"The American Dream\" won first place in the annual Woody Guthrie Folk Festival Songwriting Competition\, and he comes to Michigan with a brand new release\, \"Bully Pulpit.\"\n\nThis show is free at the door for Ark members at the Solo level and above.

SUMMARY:Performance:We Banjo 3
DESCRIPTION:One of the best live acts to come out of Ireland in recent years is the multi-awarded winning We Banjo 3. With a seven-time all-Ireland banjo champ\, a four-time banjo champ\, another member who is an all-Ireland champ on both fiddle and bodhran\, and with a passionate lead vocalist like a young Springsteen adopted by the Chieftains (yes\, they're a quartet\, but there are three banjos)\, the result is unforgettable. On both sides of the Atlantic the word is out about this group! WB3 performed at the  “Friends of Ireland” luncheon on Capitol Hill attended by House Speaker Paul Ryan\, President Barack Obama\, Vice President Joe Biden\, and Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny\, and has headlined virtually every major U.S .Celtic fest for several years in a row. With a strong bluegrass influence (they call their music \"Celtgrass\")\, the band is rapidly gaining favor in the worlds of bluegrass and Americana as well\, as evidenced by their invites to Merlefest\, ROMP Fest\, Sisters Folk Fest\, Old Settlers Fest\, Four Corners Fest\, and more! They come to Michigan with a new release\, \"Haven.\"

DESCRIPTION:A lot of people know Matt Nathanson for his 2007 hit \"Come On Get Higher\,\" but his career has only kept growing since then. The year 2018 saw two albums from Matt\, a collection of Def Leppard covers and the all-original \"Sings His Sad Heart.\" He comes to The Ark with acoustic arrangements of the songs \"Sings His Sad Heart\,\" and it's not so common to hear him in a club The Ark's size. It's all to the good\, because Matt has a unique sense of humor on stage that can get lost in larger venues.\n\nThis show is sold out. Songwriter Blu Sanders opens

DESCRIPTION:The Earls of Leicester are Barry Bales (bass)\, Shawn Camp (guitar)\, Charlie Cushman (banjo)\, Jerry Douglas (Dobro)\, Johnny Warren (fiddle)\, and Jeff White (mandolin). When the Earls of Leicester (leave out the same letters you'd leave out in \"Worcester\") formed in 2013\, their mission was ambitious but exact: to preserve and promote the legacy of bluegrass legends Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs\, in hopes of reviving the duo’s music for longtime admirers and introducing a new generation to their genre-defining sound. Within a year of releasing their self-titled debut\, the Nashville-based six-piece far surpassed their own expectations\, winning a Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album and earning six awards from the International Bluegrass Music Association. They come to Michigan with a new live album that's further testimony to the pure joy and supreme musicianship that propel their every performance

SUMMARY:Performance:Sonny Landreth & Marcia Ball
DESCRIPTION:They call her Long Tall Marcia Ball\, and she's one of a kind! Marcia Ball grew up in Vinton\, Louisiana\, in the heart of an area overflowing with blues\, zydeco\, and swamp rock. All the female members of her family played the piano. In 1970 Marcia and her first husband were heading for San Francisco\, but their car broke down in Austin\, and that's where she stayed. She put together a trio of talents: piano playing\, songwriting\, and vocals. In 1983 Marcia released her first solo album\, \"Soulful Dress\,\" and ever since then she's been letting the good times roll at The Ark and other clubs around the country where a corps of devoted fans has watched her evolved into a true legend of the piano blues. Marcia has won nine Blues Music Awards\, and she was recently inducted into the Gulf Coast Music Hall of Fame. Come check out music from Marcia's fabulous recent album \"Shine Bright\"!\n\nAfter a dozen acclaimed albums\, virtuoso slide guitarist and bandleader Sonny Landreth has released \"Recorded Live in Lafayette\,\" capturing the one-of-a-kind live Sonny experience. Sonny Landreth has collaborated with the very top names in guitar over the years: Eric Clapton\, Mark Knopfler\, Eric Johnson\, Derek Trucks—the list goes on. The noted slideman cut his musical teeth in The Red Hot Louisiana Band of zydeco king Clifton Chenier\, and he has since recorded and toured with artists ranging from John Mayall to John Hiatt. \"Recorded Live in Lafayette\" adds another major chapter to his tale\, as new vocal and instrumental colors emerge

SUMMARY:Performance:The RFD Boys
DESCRIPTION:It's hard to believe\, because each show is fresh and new\, but the RFD Boys have been delighting Michigan audiences since 1969 with their fabulous musicianship and sly\, exquisitely timed between-song humor. They're legends of Michigan bluegrass\, but they're more than that too. With an appearance on the cover of Bluegrass Unlimited\, with songs recorded by the likes of the Country Gentlemen\, and with performances alongside bluegrass greats like Bill Monroe and Ralph Stanley\, the RFD Boys are a part of America's bluegrass tradition. The RFD Boys one of southeastern Michigan's most durable musical ensembles\, and their shows capture a deep slice of musical Ann Arbor. Their 50th-anniversary appearance at the Folk Festival was a special moment and introduced many listeners to Dan Roehrig\, who joined the band on guitar\, mandolin\, and bass in mid-2018. If you missed the Folk Fest\, come by and say hello.  Dan grew up listening to Doc Watson\, Clarence White\, and Tony Rice\, and you can hear it in both his singing and guitar playing.

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: \n- Amal Hassan Fadlalla\, Associate Professor\, Women's Studies\, Anthropology\, Afroamerican and African Studies\n- Sandra Gunning\, Professor\, Afroamerican and African Studies\, and American Culture\; \n- Victor Mendoza\, Associate Professor\, English and Women’s Studies\; Faculty Associate\, Asian/Pacific Islander American Studies Program\, and the Center for Southeast Asian Studies\n\nThe Save Darfur movement gained an international following\, garnering widespread international attention to this remote Sudanese territory. Celebrities and other notable public figures participated in human rights campaigns to combat violence in the region. But how do local activists and those throughout the Sudanese diaspora in the United States situate their own notions of rights\, nationalism\, and identity?\n\nBased on interviews with Sudanese social actors\, activists\, and their allies in the United States\, the Sudan\, and online\, Branding Humanity (Stanford Press\, 2018) traces the global story of violence and the remaking of Sudan identities. Amal Hassan Fadlalla asks readers to consider how national and transnational debates about violence circulate\, shape\, and re-territorialize ethnic identities\, disrupt meanings of national belonging\, and rearticulate notions of solidarity and global affiliations.\n\nThis event is part of IRWG's Gender: New Works\, New Questions series\, which spotlights recent publications by U-M faculty members and allows for deeper discussion by an interdisciplinary panel.

DESCRIPTION:Rodney Crowell is one of country music's most successful songwriters\, but the deadly seriousness in his music was always there for those with ears to hear. \"Dad drove a stock car to an early death/All I remember was a drunk man's breath\,\" sang Waylon Jennings as he took Crowell's \"Ain't Living Long Like This\" to the top of the charts. Since the turn of the millennium\, Crowell has been on a roll\, releasing personal\, ambitious albums to wide critical acclaim. With his autobiographical masterpiece \"The Houston Kid\,\" he took an unflinching look at his own down-and-out upbringing\, and he comes to The Ark with a new album\, \"Close Ties\,\" that flows from the same sources and has been nominated for an Americana Music Association Album of the Year award.

DESCRIPTION:Over the last decade\, Pokey LaFarge has won the hearts of music lovers across the globe with his creative mix of early jazz\, string ragtime\, country blues and western swing\, all while writing songs that ring true n both spirit and sound. His music transcends the confines of genre\, continually challenging the notion that tradition-bearers fail to push musical boundaries. Cleverly striding among numerous forms of traditional American music\, Pokey has crafted a genre all his own\, marked by its accessible ingenuity. Rather than merely conjuring up half-forgotten imagery of days past\, Pokey is a lyrical storyteller\, the plot delivered smoothly through his dynamic vocals. One moment he shouts a line and the next he croons above his archtop guitar. He transmits a rare distillation of old American sounds! Based in St. Louis\, Missouri\, Pokey honors the musical traditions of that town without aping them. He's an Ark favorite\, heard most recently at the 2019 Ann Arbor Folk Festival.

SUMMARY:Performance:Marty Stuart & his Fabulous Superlatives wsg Luke Winslow King
DESCRIPTION:ram\n\nANN ARBOR\, Mich.\, Sept. 10\, 2018 – Acoustic Routes Concerts announced today that country music legend\, five-time Grammy® winner and Grand Ole Opry member Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives will take the stage at The Ark – Ann Arbor’s world-renowned folk music club – on March 16\, 2019 to raise money to feed the hungry.\n\nThe concert is the 10th annual benefit at The Ark for the Breakfast at St. Andrew’s in Ann Arbor\, which is hosted by St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church. Every day since the fall of 1982\, volunteers have gathered there to serve a free meal to anyone in need\, sometimes as many as 165 each day. Many guests are homeless. Others are working but struggling to make ends meet. Everyone is welcome. All concert profits will be used to purchase\, food supplies and offset expenses\, such as cleaning\, heating and maintenance.\n\nRolling Stone magazine calls Marty Stuart one of the top country music artists of all time: “A musician’s musician\, Stuart logged more than a decade as a sideman for the titans of twang – including Johnny Cash\, Doc Watson and Lester Flatt – before launching his solo career...building his fanbase not only on the strength of his voice\, but his hotshot guitar playing\, too.”\n\nNPR praised his latest album “Way Out West\,” calling it a “journey through the Joshua trees\, shadowy canyons and desert drams that tantalize travelers with the promise of a golden shore on the other side.”\n\nOpening for Marty Stuart is Bloodshot Records artist Luke Winslow-King. A Cadillac\, Mich.\, native steeped in the musical cauldron of New Orleans\, Winslow-King is adept at mixing country\, blues\, R&B\, rock ‘n’ roll and folk intuitively and masterfully. He shapes a mood from many sources and shepherds it to a unifying place of acceptance and hope. \n\nThe emcee for the evening is Lisa Tucker-Gray\, the rector of Toledo’s Trinity Episcopal Church\, an accomplished singer and the daughter of the Rev. Svea Gray\, who was director of the Breakfast Program for more than 30 years.  She will also perform with multi-instrumentalist Curt Waugh\n\nAcoustic Routes Concerts has produced nine benefit concerts for the Breakfast Program at The Ark since 2010\, with cumulative profits closing in on $100\,000.\n\n“The Breakfast started as way to help people get through a deep recession more than 30 years ago\, but the need never went away\,” said Jim Cain of Saline\, founder of Acoustic Routes Concerts. “It’s staggering how many people don’t have enough to eat day in and day out.”\n\nAnn Arbor-based food rescue agency Food Gatherers said hunger is a pervasive problem in Washtenaw County. More than one in seven people lack access\, at times\, to enough food for an active\, healthy life.\n\n“Some of the Breakfast volunteers have been there since the program’s earliest days. For others\, it’s their first community service experience\,” Cain added. “Volunteering creates a unique bond and I can’t thank Marty\, Luke\, Lisa and our sponsors enough for supporting our work.”

SUMMARY:Performance:The Lucky Nows // The Rough & Tumble
DESCRIPTION:The Rough & Tumble are as easy to detect as a stray dog on your doorstep—and as difficult to send home. The dumpster-folk\, thriftstore-Americana duo\, consisting of Mallory Graham and Scott Tyler\, have been circulating around the country in their 16’ camper since 2015.  They picked up a couple of actual strays along the way—two 100-lb. dogs\, Puddle & Magpie Mae—and have been making themselves at home in living rooms\, bars\, theaters\, and festivals across the country. The Rough & Tumble are collectors ... a new kind of collector: songwriting with illustration\, and arranging each song with a menagerie of instruments\, ranging from acoustic guitars to mailbox snares to a banjulele.\n\nThe Lucky Nows play dynamic\, high-energy Americana folk-rock with echoes of Isbell and Isakov and a bluesy center. Their music draws from every genre\, delivering a wide range of lyric-driven originals with intricate arrangements and gorgeous harmonies. If Steve Earle had a love-child with Lucinda Williams\, and that child was raised by Kris Delmhorst and Jeffrey Foucault\, and frequently visited by Shovels & Rope and the ghost of Townes Van Zandt\, their debut CD would sound eerily similar to The Lucky Nows' \"Rise.\" The Lucky Nows feature Detroiter Jen Cass on vocals.

SUMMARY:Performance:Molly Tuttle
DESCRIPTION:Molly Tuttle\, says Paul Zollo of American Songwriter\, \"sings with the gentle authority of Gillian Welch\, yet plays astoundingly fleet flat-picking guitar like Chet Atkins on superdrive.\" The first woman ever to win the International Bluegrass Music Association's Guitar Player of the Year award\, Molly has been the talk of bluegrass circles of the past year and is rapidly gaining fans from all the spheres of the roots music universe as well. On her debut solo EP Rise\, Molly reveals the rich new ground she’s discovered. Produced by Kai Welch (Abigail Washburn\, Bobby Bare\, Jr.\, the Greencards)\, the seven-song collection relies on a rock-solid bluegrass foundation as Molly breaks free without breaking ties\, singing and exploring what her six-string acoustic guitar can do. A rising star if there ever was one!

DESCRIPTION:Lifelong friends and Northern Michigan natives\, the Michigan Rattlers play \"heavy-hearted folk-rock with an aching dose of Midwestern nice.\" Graham Young (guitar)\, Adam Reed (upright bass)\, and Christian Wilder (piano) began writing music and performing together in their Petoskey high school. \"Petoskey is a small place. Beautiful\, but secluded. It’s hard to start a musical career in a place where there are more deer than people\,\" they say. Still\, they regularly played every bar\, cafe\, and stage in town\, developing a musical chemistry informed by the likes of AC/DC\, Creedence Clearwater Revival\, Bob Seger\, and more. Their debut EP\, recorded in Los Angeles\, attracted glowing reviews from No Depression\, Bluegrass Situation\, B3 Science\, and Rolling Stone\, who compared them to \"Whiskeytown-era Ryan Adams\, early Wilco\, the acoustic side of Rhett Miller\, and the Old 97s.\" Local audiences got a taste of Michigan Rattlers on the Friday night Ann Arbor Folk Festival bill\, and we're betting you'll be back for their full sho

DESCRIPTION:Channing & Quinn are an indie folk duo who craft music that blends quirky with creepy\, and theatrics with sincerity.  In a live setting the two do the work of several musicians by playing guitar\, ukulele\, accordion\, drums\, glockenspiel\, banjo\, looping vocals and even tap dancing all at the same time! (OK\, some at the same time.) Their past tours have included one traveling entirely by Amtrak Trains\, and most recently a seven-month-long national tour pulling and living in an Airstream trailer.  They are currently based in Grand Rapids after spending nine years in Nashville.  Channing & Quinn have opened for Brian Vander Ark\, Langhorne Slim\, and Enter The Haggis. They have released four full-length albums\, including one since we last heard their full show in Ann Arbor.

SUMMARY:Performance:Skerryvore
DESCRIPTION:Skerryvore first formed on the tiny lsle of Tiree off Scotland’s west coast in 2005. Back then\, the band consisted of Tiree-born brothers Daniel Gillespie (accordion) and Martin Gillespie (bagpipes\, whistles & accordion) who bonded with holidaymaker Fraser West (drums & vocals) and friend Alec Dalglish (lead vocals & guitar) over a shared love of music: everything from traditional to rock and jazz. It was this mix of musical styles and sounds that set the path for the band’s 2005 debut album\, \"West Coast Life.\" The more the fledgling band experimented with fusing together this mix of musical styles\, the more their signature sound evolved\, with many high-energy rock elements. The group expanded to a sextet and then to an octet\, and the release of their self-titled third album saw them catapulted into the musical limelight\, winning a string of prestigious awards and critical acclaim. Since then they've toured the globe\, appeared in TV commercials promoting Scotland\, and unveiled their own tartan. They come to Michigan with a new release\, their sixth

SUMMARY:Performance:Enter the Haggis
DESCRIPTION:A haggis is a tasty Scottish dish consisting of sheep heart\, liver\, and lungs\, mixed with oatmeal\, onion\, suet\, and spices\, and then boiled inside the sheep's stomach. The Canadian-Scots band Enter the Haggis (bagpiper Craig Downie is from Scotland) has just about as much variety in their style\, a high-speed collision of Celtic music\, rock\, bluegrass\, funk\, and world music. An Enter the Haggis live show is a musical feast—dynamic and emotionally uplifting. Alternating between upbeat rock numbers with sing-along choruses and slower\, more introspective alt pop songs\, the band plays progressive and lyrically driven music that’s strongly rooted in Celtic tradition—from the storytelling to the bagpipes. Enter the Haggis returns to The Ark with an as-yet-untitled new release!

SUMMARY:Performance:The Subdudes
DESCRIPTION:Before there were terms like \"roots rock\,\" there were the Subdudes and their acoustic accordion-flavored (and tambourine-spiked) musical brew that came straight out of the warmth and soul of their native New Orleans. The band came together at the famed Tipitina's club in 1987 and took their awesomely funky blues-rock on the road for ten years\, winning fans everywhere. The Subdudes\, noted the All Music Guide's Tammy La Gorce\, \"aren't just stellar musicians of the swampy jazz-rock-blues New Orleans persuasion\, as they've come to be known. They're also a group of guys whose working-class roots run as definitively\, and maybe as deeply\, as Bruce Springsteen's.\" The Subdudes sound has persisted through several changes of personnel\, and now they're back\, with Steve Amedée on tambourine\, making a joyful noise in the world's funkiest city and beyond

DESCRIPTION:How do we address Shakespeare’s Roman plays to contemporary audiences? We can make our productions strongly\, even aggressively about our politics rather than Rome’s or early modern England’s. But one major area of Shakespeare marketing that Shakespeare cultural criticism has almost completely ignored is the film - and now also the theatre – trailer. Trailers are everywhere. No longer only in the movie theatre\, they fill our tvs and are all over the web. Peter Holland considers how they conceptualize - and invite us into - Shakespeare's Roman plays.\n\nTo be followed by public reception

SUMMARY:Performance:Peter Mulvey
DESCRIPTION:To call Peter Mulvey an acoustic singer-songwriter and guitarist just doesn't cover it. He's equally—and tremendously on all counts—gifted as a singer\, writer\, and guitarist. Says the Irish Examiner: \"Peter Mulvey is one of the most accomplished guitarists you're ever likely to hear … utterly original … it is nigh on impossible to explain him to the uninitiated … his intelligent and sometimes complex songs engage both hemispheres of the listener's brain.\" Peter grew up in Milwaukee\, made his debut on the streets of Dublin\, and moved to Boston\, performing in subways and finally clubs. His latest album was produced by Ani DiFranco\, whom he befriended when she added a verse to his song \"Take Down Your Flag\,\" about the shootings at the AME Emanuel Church in Charleston\, South Carolina. \"I heard a young folksinger at a festival last summer sing a line about how our job is to sing the people through\, and I think that young man is right as rain\,\" Peter says. \"I’m doing my best.\" Peter returns from his MC slot at the 2019 Ann Arbor Folk Festival with a new album \"Fool's Errand\".

SUMMARY:Performance:The Accidentals
DESCRIPTION:Named among Yahoo Music’s “Top 10 Bands to Watch in 2017\,” The Accidentals began their adventure in their hometown of Traverse City\, MI\, when Katie Larson\, a sophomore cellist\, and Savannah Buist\, a junior violinist\, were paired for a high school orchestra event. The gifted young musicians became fast friends and before long\, bandmates. Dubbing themselves after the musical notes that fall outside of a key signature\, they were joined in 2014 by percussionist Michael Dause\, and since then national attention has increasingly come their way. Along the road\, where they've performed more than 1\,000 shows over the last five years\, they been open to and influenced by a dizzying variety of musical genres\, from classical music to hip-hop. Signed to the major Sony label in 2017\, the band has released two albums\, including the recent and politically aware \"Heavy Flag.\" See them in the intimate confines of The Ark while you still can!

SUMMARY:Performance:The Jacob Jolliff Band
DESCRIPTION:Jacob Jolliff was born into a musical family in Newberg\, OR. His dad started him on the mandolin at age seven and required him to practice ten minutes a day. But after six months of practicing this minimal amount\, something clicked\, and almost overnight he started putting in several hours of intense practice daily. And this hasn't really changed in the last 20 years. He's played with Joy Kills Sorrow and Yonder Mountain String Band (which continues to tour)\, and now he's started his own Jacob Jolliff Band\, featuring some of New England's most virtuosic young pickers. The group features a lot of Jacob's original instrumentals\, as well as showcasing his singing\, which has been a big part of what he does in recent years.

SUMMARY:Performance:Son Volt wsg Ian Noe
DESCRIPTION:On Son Volt’s new record\, \"Union\,\" present and past mingle into strong confluence. The 13 new songs written by founder Jay Farrar confront our turbulent politics and articulate the clarity and comfort music can offer in the tumult. “There are so many forces driving our country apart\,” observes Jay. “What can we do to bring our society back together?” The country and blues sounds explored by Son Volt on its last two records (2013’s \"Honky Tonk\" and 2017’s \"Notes of Blue\") linger in the grooves of \"Union.\" But the new record nods to many other mile markers along the band’s 25-year path. Some tunes offer a powerful return to the ringing lyrical clarity of 2005’s \"Okemah\" and \"Melody of Riot\,\"and 2007’s \"The Search.\" Others hearken back to the freewheeling poetic melodicism of 1994’s \"Trace\" and 1997’s \"Straightaways.\" This is an album and a show that see one of Americana's great bands both looking back and continuing to drive forward.\n\nKentucky songwriter Ian Noe opens.

SUMMARY:Performance:Sam Amidon // Flashpapr
DESCRIPTION:Sam Amidon is a singer and multi-instrumentalist originally hailing from Brattleboro\, Vermont. He has released multiple albums of radically reimagined folksongs on the Bedroom Community and Nonesuch labels. Called \"part preservationist\, part visionary\" by the Boston Globe\, Sam offers reworkings of traditional American ballads\, hymns and work songs\, with the New York Times writing that he \"transforms all of the songs\, changing their colors and loading them with trapdoors.\" Along the way Sam has recorded or performed as a guest artists with musicians such as pianist Jason Moran\, indie rock band Bon Iver\, and Glen Hansard.\n\nFlashpapr is a Michigan band\, known (or faintly remembered) for playing broken folk music between 1996 and 2004. After a period of inactivity\, Flashpapr now performs as a duo of its original members\, Fred Thomas (Saturday Looks Good To Me) and Jacob Danziger (recordings with His Name Is Alive\, Steve Roden\, Cynthia Nelson\, The Naysayer and Doveman). Along with Zach Wallace\, Ben Bracken\, and Ida Pearle\, their three albums captured the sad and hopeful feeling of being alive\, and their word-of-mouth live performances (in kitchens\, living rooms\, garages and back yards) were uncomfortably earnest attempts to invert the relationship between the band and audience. \"You are my best friend\, you are the most beautiful thing I keep inside my heart\" was basically the idea.

SUMMARY:Performance:House of Hamill
DESCRIPTION:**Free at the door for Ark members at the Solo level and above\n\nHouse of Hamill features Brian Buchanan of Enter the Haggis and Rose Baldino of Burning Bridget Cleary.\n\nTheir music has been described as \"Radiohead meets Riverdance\"\; Celtic-inspired\, exciting\, eclectic and unpredictable.\n\nHouse of Hamill’s music occupies a space between traditional Irish music and sophisticated indie/pop.\n\nTogether\, they write unusual\, new fiddle tunes and exciting\, unpredictable original songs while breathing new life into traditional and contemporary songs. Both are confident and unique lead vocalists\, and the blend of their two voices in harmony is hypnotic and irresistible.\n\nWhether House of Hamill is playing songs from their debut album \"Wide Awake\" (2016) or stomping through a set of original jigs and reels from their follow-up \"March Through Storms\" (2018)\, their chemistry onstage is always engaging and often hilarious. Spend an hour listening and you'll leave with tired feet\, a huge smile\, and a new appreciation for the versatility of folk instruments in a modern context.\n\nCheck out their all-violin viral video of Guns n Roses’ “Sweet Child of Mine”:\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyvjd68Pm3A\n\n“Their songs are always on the edge of traditional and innovation . . .  their performances are electrifying”.    - Sarah MacArthur\, Highlander Radio

SUMMARY:Performance:Parsonsfield
DESCRIPTION:Parsonsfield is a five-piece alt/folk band from Massachusetts that infuses a rowdy\, rock 'n' roll spirit into its bluegrass and folk influences\, blowing away any preconception of what you think banjos and mandolins should sound like. They weren't always called Parsonsfield—the band started out as Poor Old Shine. The new name was born of the inspired experiences recording two albums in beautiful\, rural Parsonsfield\, Maine. \"We owe a lot to what happened there\,\" they say. \"It pulled us from being a more traditional string band to something that felt much more uniquely ourselves. It made us the band we are today.\" The joy is palpable when this band takes the stage\, and NPR says they make \"the most jubilant and danceable indie roots music this side of the Carolinas.\" Parsonsfield returns to The Ark from its debut at the 2019 Ann Arbor Folk Festival.

SUMMARY:Performance:Jeffrey Foucault w/sg Erik Koskinen
DESCRIPTION:Wisconsin's Jeffrey Foucault writes sparse small-town ballads and love songs whose lyrics are great poems in themselves. \"Townes Van Zandt\, Greg Brown\, and Kelly Joe Phelps fans should give Foucault a listen\,\" says the Pasadena Weekly. The country rockers and dark blues songs of this Midwestern original are truly haunting things. Jeffrey has grown tremendously as a songwriter over the ten albums he has released\, and by now he's gaining raves from the likes of supercritic Greil Marcus\, who describes Jeffrey's music this way: \"An acoustic guitar figure comes up against drums buried far away\, like a memory. The story creeps out\, and stops well short of its end\, though you can glimpse it. Foucault drifts over the words so lightly that they seem to fade as they’re sung\, and you might stop trying to hear them as words\, let them come as sounds.\" Jeffrey comes to Michigan with a stunning new album\, \"Blood Brothers.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Hannah Sanders & Ben Savage
DESCRIPTION:Huddled round a single vintage microphone\, singing intimate duets with just mountain dulcimer\, dobro and guitar\,\nHannah Sanders & Ben Savage are an acoustic duo that sound classically timeless\, yet their music is unique.\nSince emerging in 2016\, the duo have recorded two studio albums\, Before the Sun (2016) and Awake (2018)\,\nproduced by award winning producer David Travers-Smith in Toronto\, both of which gathered praise for the\ncrafting and skill of their musical writing and arranging.\nThe duo have toured the UK\, North America and mainland Europe\, enrapturing audiences at shows and on festival\nstages with the sparkling beauty of their acoustic style.\nThey have shared stages and opened shows for Americana and folk luminaries such as Sarah Jarosz\, Martin\nSimpson\, Seth Lakeman and Oh Susanna. Fleetingly\, they may evoke a memory of Gram & Emmylou\, Shirley\n& Davey\, or Gillian & David but their distilling of musical influences from both sides of the Atlantic produces a\nrefined sound that is decidedly their own.\nTheir unique unplugged presentation creates a widescreen\, cinematic soundscape with open spaces and\natmosphere\, giving their beautifully pure vocals room to share the songs’ emotion and narrative.\nThe material is as joyful and fun as it is intense\, but the common factor is the duo’s warmth and confidence in each\nother\; their natural ease and connection is clearly evident on the recorded music\, and a genuine pleasure to\nwitness on stage.

DESCRIPTION:Nora Jane Struthers has written \"some of the most quietly powerful narratives within the new wave of Americana artists\,\" says Ann Powers of NPR Music. There’s an honesty and energy to Nora Jane’s stage presence\; a vulnerability that is part and parcel of great artistry. In one moment\, she joyfully leads the audience in a dance party ... in the next\, she lays her soul bare for the world to hear. A performance by Nora Jane and her band is full to the brim with stellar musicianship\, unexpected arrangements that blur the lines between folk\, roots\, and rock\, and an audible sense that everyone in the room is having a damn good time. Nora Jane comes to Michigan with a new album on the way!

DESCRIPTION:Chicago's Susan Werner is a triple threat at folk awards ceremonies with her luxuriously smooth and strong voice (she's a former opera singer)\, riveting lyrics\, and haunting melodies. “When it comes to crafting a song\, Ms. Werner’s only peers are Jimmy Webb and Paul Simon\,” raves No Depression. Susan can do it all! She's a virtuoso on both piano and guitar\, and her recordings have ranged from hardcore folk to Broadway music\, humorous songs\, a skeptical yet sympathetic take on gospel\, songs of farming\, and even classical arrangements of classic rock. Susan has a way of reinventing herself for each new project\, but there's a core of humor sophistication\, and musical craft that endures. She comes to Michigan with a new album\, \"NOLA: Susan Werner Goes to New Orleans\,\" and\, well\, New Orleans may never be the same. Ann Arbor trombonist\, Chris Smith\, joins Susan for the show!

SUMMARY:Performance:Sam Baker
DESCRIPTION:Sam Baker makes people happy. The characters in his songs face many challenges—alcoholism\, car wrecks\, racism\, drug addiction\, a mother’s abandonment—but they persevere. Much like Sam himself. In 1986 Sam got in the middle of someone else’s war. When a terrorist bomb exploded in the his train compartment\, he went from being a young\, healthy\, tourist enjoying Peru with friends to a broken man surrounded by death and dying. Given his injuries\, he too should have died. But through a series of miracles and coincidences he survived. With the top of his left hand gone\, it seemed that his formerly skillful hands had been transformed into blocks of wood\, but eventually those hands learned how to play an upside-down guitar. He needed to tell his story. Songs started to come from that upside-down guitar. Before he knew it\, there were CDs\, tours around the world\, an interview with Terry Gross\, and awards in Rolling Stone. A Sam Baker show is a celebration. Some songs tell of everyday people who survive life’s daily challenges\; others are stories of growing up in a small Texas prairie town. All his shows are an acknowledgment and appreciation of the pure joy that comes with people gathering to listen to live music. Sam’s fans travel to see him\, often driving hours to experience the powerful performance. After the show\, they tell Sam their stories. At the end of the day\, all go in peace.

SUMMARY:Performance:Rose Cousins
DESCRIPTION:Rose Cousins just might be Nova Scotia's answer to Iris DeMent\, or even to Kate Wolf. Says Lifestyle Nova Scotia: \"Cousins writes songs strong on story\, melody\, and honest observations ... that demand an unaffected but beautiful voice.\" Her album \"We Have Made a Spark\" took home a Canadian Juno Award along with many other awards\, including a spot on NPR’s Top 10 Americana & Folk Albums list. That album was recorded in Boston\, where Rose spends part of her time\, and where she's found strong support from the city's vibrant songwriting community. Rooted in authenticity and conviction of voice\, the songs of Rose Cousins make you feel as though she sings for you\, about your life. \"We develop patterns that keep us from moving forward\,\" Rose says. \"It takes a deep breath and a bucket of courage to face the uncomfortable\, painful things we work so hard to avoid. Reward comes from recognizing the obstacle exists and pushing through fear.\"

SUMMARY:Presentation:Defense Dissertation: Flexible Piezoelectric Nanocomposite Energy Harvester for Extreme Temperature Applications
DESCRIPTION:Alireza Nafari\n\nDoctoral Committee:\n\nProfessor Henry A. Sodano\, Chair \nProfessor Daniel J. Inman \nAssociate Professor Veera Sundararaghavan\nAssistant Professor John Huron\n\nEvent Information:\nFriday\, May 17th 3:00 PM\nGeneral Motors Conference Hall\, Lurie Engineering Center\n\nPiezoelectric materials are currently among the most promising building blocks for sensing\, actuation and energy harvesting systems. However\, these materials are limited in many applications due to their lack of machinability as well as their inability to conform to curved surfaces. One method to mitigate this issue is through additive manufacturing (direct printing) of piezoelectric nanocomposites\, where piezoelectric nanomaterials are embedded in a polymer matrix. With the advent of additive manufacturing it is now possible to realize 3D print nanocomposites with tailored microstructure. \nA primary objective of this study is to develop and experimentally validate micromechanical and finite element models that allow the study of the electroelastic properties of a 3D printed nanocomposite containing piezoelectric inclusions. Furthermore\, the dependence of these properties on geometrical features such as aspect ratio and active phase alignment are investigated. This dissertation presents a novel approach for harvesting ambient mechanical energy at extreme environments. Many miniature electronic sensors and actuators in aerospace applications risk breakdown due to their operation in extreme temperature conditions\, as cooling and protecting them prove to be challenging due to space and weight limitations. Therefore\, as a second objective of this investigation\, a flexible energy harvester capable of withstanding extreme temperatures (< 250 °C) is developed using a 3D printing approach that can provide useful electrical energy from ambient vibrations. The research presented in this dissertation can provide a robust tool for the analysis and design of two phase piezoelectric nanocomposite energy harvesters able to operate under a spectrum of conditions ranging from ambient to extreme temperatures.

SUMMARY:Performance:Robert Jones & Matt Watroba
DESCRIPTION:Ever since their first meeting\, over 20 years ago\, Robert Jones and Matt Watroba have been musical partners. Their relationship started when they hosted back-to-back radio shows on WDET-FM\, Detroit. Later on they started performing together and in doing so discovered a friendship based on mutual respect and a love for traditional American music. Now Matt and Robert literally travel the nation extolling the virtues of “Music That Matters.\" For Matt and Robert\, American roots music (folk\, blues\, spirituals\, work songs\, chants\, etc.) is music that matters. This is the music that America and the world have in common.  It is music that reflects history\, social change\, migration\, hopes and dreams. It is music that is rich and diverse\, direct and powerful. Robert and Matt have performed this powerful program at hundreds of schools\, festivals\, coffeehouses\, and conferences\, to resounding acclaim\, and now they've released a new joint album\, \"Common Chords.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Lucy Kaplansky
DESCRIPTION:The daughter of the famed Polish-Canadian mathematician Irving Kaplansky (who once wrote a song based on the first 14 digits of pi that his daughter has been known to perform)\, Lucy Kaplansky started out singing in Chicago bars. Then\, barely out of high school\, she took off for New York City. There she found a fertile community of songwriters and performers—Suzanne Vega\, John Gorka\, Bill Morrissey\, Cliff Eberhardt\, and others—where she fit right in. She's a singer-songwriter with an extraordinary feel for the range of human emotion. Lucy puts her own spin on contemporary songwriter folk with warm\, powerful vocals and guitar playing that draws guitar gods (or geeks) to talk shop with her. Lucy Kaplansky\, says the Boston Globe\, \"is becoming the troubadour laureate of modern city folk.\" She comes to Michigan with a new album on themes of nature\, \"Everyday Street.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Howie Day
DESCRIPTION:Citing the likes of Jeff Buckley\, Radiohead\, and Dave Matthews among his influences\, Howie Day used their music as a basis for his own original direction. Howie\, like Patty Griffin\, was a product of Bangor\, Maine\, who made a splash in Boston's coffeehouse scene. He released his first album\, \"Australia\,\" in 2000. A lot has happened since then. Howie's music went in a rock direction\, and he got the attention of industry heavyweight Chris Blackwell and was signed to the major Epic label. He got a gold record for his album \"Stop the World Now\,\" and he's been romantically linked to Britney Spears. What hasn't changed is that he writes songs imbued with a wide-eyed sense of boundless emotion\, and clothes them in gorgeous arrangements that include innovative looping techniques. Howie's live shows are wonderful experiments in diverse song and instrumentation\, and if you haven't experienced this unique artist yet\, you're missing out! The Brian Jarvis Band opens.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Defense Dissertation: Piezoelectrically Generated Bistable Composites for Morphing\, Energy Harvesting\, and Vibration Control
DESCRIPTION:Andrew Lee\n\nDissertation Committee: \nProfessor Daniel J. Inman\, Chair\nProfessor Henry A. Sodano\, Member\nAssociate Professor Veera Sundararaghavan\, Member\nProfessor Kon-Well Wang\, Cognate Member\n\nPresentation Information: \nDate: Monday\, May 27\, 2019\nTime: 8:00 AM\nLocation: FXB-1044 (McDivitt Conference Room\, FXB)\n\nElastic instabilities associated with buckling in multistable structures have been harnessed toward energy-based and control-based applications\, with significant research toward energy harvesting and morphing. Often combined with smart materials such as piezoelectric or shape memory alloy actuators\, bistable composite plates are popular host structures due to maintaining two geometrically distinct stable shapes without any external influence. A second potential well is traditionally generated from anisotropic thermal residual stresses in fiber-reinforced composite laminates during cure cycle cooldown. In this work\, a novel method of inducing bistability is investigated by bonding two piezoelectrically actuated Macro Fiber Composites (MFC) in a cross-ply layup and releasing the voltage post cure to yield two cylindrically stable configurations. Since the MFCs are simultaneously the transducer and host structure\, the resulting efficiencies and increase in actuation authority enable multifunctionality while exceeding the limits of conventional bistable prototypes that are designed with a single application in mind. Through MFC actuation\, quasi-static snap through morphing is achieved with no external assistance while unwanted cross-well instabilities resulting from nonlinear vibrations are suppressed with active control strategies. The same cross-well dynamics are also exploited in various broadband energy harvesting applications.

SUMMARY:Performance:Lynn Miles
DESCRIPTION:Canadian-born songwriter Lynn Miles combines the emotional intensity of Lucinda Williams with the common-touch songcraft of Shawn Colvin and delivers the results in a beautiful melancholy package. In the words of USA Today: \"Miles sings of stark\, desolate loneliness\, and the instruments accompanying her echo in the expanse of the solitude.\" And consider this testimony from The Ark's own former program direcdtor Dave Siglin: \"I presented literally thousands of performers\, including many wonderful singer-songwriters whose music I now cherish. Of all of these\, I find myself listening to the music of Lynn Miles more than that of any other performer who played the club. Her melodies are stunning\, and I think many of her lyrics are absolute poetry capable of standing alone. ... The point of my writing this is that I can easily say Lynn Miles ranks as my favorite singer-songwriter to have ever played The Ark during my tenure over the last forty years. Flat out my favorite.\" Lynn has been touring lately with a duo called The Lynnes\, and it's been a while since we've heard her solo show. Not to be missed!

SUMMARY:Performance:Al Stewart
DESCRIPTION:Al Stewart was born in Glasgow\, Scotland\, in 1945\, and moved with his family to Bournemouth\, a seaside town in the south of England\, at an early age. A strong dose of Bob Dylan’s original songs shifted his focus from instrumentalist to lyricist and vocalist. In 1965\, Al moved to London and became the emcee at the famed Les Cousins folk club\, rubbing shoulders with young talents like Paul Simon\, Ralph McTell\, Bert Jansch\, and Cat Stevens. After several albums written in autobiographical mode\, Al shifted his lyrical gaze outward\, into history\, literature and current events\, an approach debuted on 1973’s \"Past\, Present & Future.\" Al’s next album exploded in America: \"Year of the Cat\,\" released in 1976\, spawned two Top 20 hits (the title song and \"On the Border\")\, and itself became a million-selling record. After Al relocated to California\, where he still resides\, his next album\, 1978’s \"Time Passages\,\" repeated the success of its predecessor\, selling another million copies and spinning off the Top 10 title track and Top 30 single\, \"Song on the Radio.\" In the early 1990s\, Al returned to his folk roots with \"Famous Last Words\,\" which utilized acoustic instrumentation and traditional folk and classical styles. He's never stopped creating completely original music—or being able to conjure other times and distant places with well-chosen words and evocative music.

DESCRIPTION:Ypsilanti songwriter Adam Plomaritas draws on the words of John Coltrane to describe his own art: \"My music is the spiritual expression of what I am – My faith\, my knowledge\, my being .. When you begin to see the possibilities of music\, you desire to do something really good for people\, to help humanity free itself from its hang-ups .. I want to speak to their souls.\" He writes about things that happen every day\, his family\, and the struggle to live a good life. \"I tend to think of myself as a rational person\, but music is a place where I can feel\,\" he says. \"Music can be—should be—emotional. The music I make is about what I love\, what I hate\, what I enjoy and what I fear. I think that the idea that heaven is a place full of music is a profound one. Music gives us an opportunity to both touch and be touched by something greater than ourselves.\" Songwriter Amy Petty opens with a mix of folk\, pop\, rock and blues ballads.

SUMMARY:Performance:Morgan James
DESCRIPTION:One voice is all it takes. The right vocalist can make you fall in love at first listen\, elicit tears\, or bring you back to a different era altogether.  A microphone and a stage remain the only necessities.  That holds true for New York-based soul singer\, songwriter\, and Broadway actress Morgan James. \n\nPart of Morgan’s creative trajectory has become centered around her full album cover projects.  She covered D’Angelo’s “Black Messiah” one month after its release\, Jeff Buckley’s “Grace” and a critically acclaimed full cover of Joni Mitchell’s “Blue”. She now takes on her most ambitious project to date: The Beatles “White” album\, celebrating the 50th anniversary of its original release. \n\nHer latest studio album\, \"Reckless Abandon\"\,  is her first as an independent artist\, and it is her most personal outing yet\, prompting the Huffington Post to call MJ the \"Brightest Breakout Artist of the Year\". Morgan assumed co-writing duties on all twelve tracks and sang all her own background vocals.  The album is stocked with lush horns and harmonies\, and stretches limbs between genres for a sound all its own. From the Rufus inspired soul swagger of the opening track \"Up In Smoke\"\, to the delicious R&B slow jam \"You Thought Not\"\, to the infectious soulful pop of \"Unworthy\"\, MJ takes the listener into her new era of freedom and empowerment. \n\nOn her full-length debut for Epic Records\, “Hunter\,” she cast an unbreakable spell with a powerhouse voice\, theatrical swing\, and a soulful poise. “Hunter” boasts a powerful and personal rendition of Prince’s “Call My Name” (reached Top 15 at Urban AC radio and #1 most added).  Morgan assumed co-writing duties on eight of the collection’s eleven tracks and performed all of her own background vocals and harmonies.   From the empowering farewell of “Fed Up On You” to the mournful rumination of “Say The Words”\, or the soulful duet with Grammy Award winner Robert Glasper\, \"Let Me Keep You\"\, she continually bares it all—both emotionally and musically.\n\nIn addition to her studio albums \"Reckless Abandon\" and \"Hunter\"\, Morgan has released a live tribute to her idol\, Nina Simone\, \"Morgan James Live\"\, as well as an EP featuring some of her fan's favorite covers\, \"YouTube Sessions\".  (She can also be heard on countless theatre and concept soundtracks).  Morgan is proud to note that no vocal tuning of any kind has been used on any of her albums.\n\nMorgan’s videos on YouTube have accumulated more than 150 million views (and climbing). With viral sensation Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox\, Morgan toured the US\, Europe\, Australia and New Zealand.  She is currently on the road touring with her band!

SUMMARY:Performance:Karla Bonoff
DESCRIPTION:\"Long before Alanis and Jewel\,\" says Billboard\, \"there was a breed of singer/songwriters whose earthly anthems of soul-searching\, heartache\, and joy touched souls in a way few can muster today.\" Karla Bonoff was the best of that breed. This California singer-songwriter looked herself in the eye with each song she wrote\, and her sad\, knowing music was recorded by Linda Ronstadt\, Bonnie Raitt\, Aaron Neville\, Wynonna Judd (\"Tell Me Why\")\, and a host of others\, and a younger generation of female songwriters was listening closely. \"Her melodic sense\, personal lyrics\, and vocal stylings have found their way into the work of everyone from Shawn Colvin and Jonatha Brooke to Sarah McLachlan and Paula Cole\,\" writes Catie Curtis. Today she writes just a few songs a year and makes them count. Karla comes to Michigan with a new release\, \"Carry Me Home\,\" featuring new versions of classic songs as well as original material.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Ryan Montbleau Band
DESCRIPTION:In 2005\, Ryan Montbleau and his band headed into Applehead Recording in Saugerties\, New York\, to cut their debut album. With nothing more than ambition and a relentless work ethic to their names\, they bootstrapped the whole thing\, maxing out credit cards to fund it themselves and launch their careers from the ground up. Twelve years\, eleven records\, thousands of shows\, and 60 million Spotify streams later\, Montbleau returned to the studio for a special one-night-only concert that would become the latest entry in his venerable catalog: ‘Woodstock Sessions.’\n\n \n\n“There was something special about performing there again after going into that same studio as a young buck trying to figure out how to make my first records\,” reflects Montbleau. “Coming back\, I was a decade more confident\, a decade stronger in my craft. It felt like coming full circle.”\n\n \n\nFor his performance that night\, Montbleau was backed not by his usual touring band\, but by the acclaimed Boston duo Tall Heights (cellist Paul Wright and guitarist Tim Harrington). The collaboration yielded fresh perspective on Montbleau’s catalog\, fleshing out his stripped-down acoustic performances with gorgeous vocal blends and elegant instrumental arrangements. Soulful and spontaneous\, the set showcased the magic that can happen when three consummate musicians surrender themselves to the songs\, when a trio of gifted artists follow their instincts to craft a whole far greater than the sum of its parts.  \n\n \n\n“Tall Heights’ sound just naturally wraps around mine in a way that’s really unique\,” says Montbleau. “Their harmonies and tones are so dialed in with each other\, and their voices gel around mine perfectly. When we get together\, something special tends to happen.”\n\n \n\nRecorded in front of an intimate audience\, the resulting collection combines the pristine audio quality of a studio record with the contagious energy of a live album\, an ideal fit for Montbleau’s intimate\, honest lyrics and spirited\, dynamic delivery. The unusual setting pushed him to step outside his comfort zone and take bold artistic risks\, assembling a setlist that was equal parts reimagined retrospective and trial-by-fire as he mixed stripped-down versions of songs from throughout his career with brand new tracks recorded for the first time that night. “Less is more” was the mantra\, and while Montbleau may be best known for his barn-burning full-band shows\, he’s no stranger to the raw acoustic setting.\n\n \n\n“I’ve been touring solo about half the year lately\, and my last release was a solo record where I really stripped the songs down to their bare bones\,” says Montbleau. “I felt like those were some of the best songs I’ve written in my entire life\, and this record is a perfect continuation of that. The music’s fleshed out a little bit more\, but at its essence\, it’s still me just pouring my heart out.”\n\n \n\nMontbleau’s been pouring his heart out in song since the early 2000’s\, when he first began performing around his native Massachusetts. He’d go on to collaborate with Martin Sexton\, Trombone Shorty\, and Galactic among others\, and share bills and stages with artists as diverse as Tedeschi Trucks Band\, Ani DiFranco\, The Wood Brothers\, Rodrigo y Gabriela\, and Mavis Staples\, but it was Montbleau’s ecstatic headline shows—often more than 200 of them a year—that solidified his reputation as a live powerhouse and an inexorable road warrior. NPR’s Mountain Stage compared his “eloquent\, soulful songwriting” to Bill Withers and James Taylor\, while Relix hailed his “poetic Americana\,” and The Boston Herald raved that “he’s made a career of confident\, danceable positivity.”\n\n \n\nMontbleau’s never been one to rest on his laurels\, though\, and ‘Woodstock Sessions’ opens with a brand new song called “Looking Glass\,” a gentle\, pensive track that proves his lyrical prowess and melodic gifts are sharper now than ever before. “Busy people in the burning sand / Take a look up from your looking glass when you can\,” he sings\, his raspy voice ensconced in velvet harmony over top of intricate fingerpicking.\n\n \n\n“That song was written just in time for the session and it was buzzing to get out\,” explains Montbleau. “It's about the modern day-to-day\, the ways we connect and the isolation we experience from staring at our screens all day and all night.”\n\n \n\nThe desire for connection\, for a true human bond\, is a recurring theme in Montbleau’s writing. The bittersweet “Our Own Place” searches for a home that’s perpetually just out of reach\, while the brooding “Ships In The Night” ruminates on our polarized political climate\, and the heartfelt “The Country and The Town” (a song commissioned by PBS in Montbleau’s newly-adopted home of Vermont) celebrates the power of community. Montbleau’s live shows are nothing if not communal affairs\, and the confessional “Help Me” reaches out a helping hand out for anyone struggling through hard times.\n\n \n\n“There’s still this shame tied up in mental illness or mental struggles\,” says Montbleau. “So many people experience dark\, even suicidal thoughts\, and we need to talk about that more\, collectively as a society and individually as friends and families. I wrote this song when I was going through those feelings myself\, and I share it in the hopes that it can help other folks dealing with the same thing.”\n\n \n\nMontbleau’s songs have a way of weaving themselves into the fabric of his listeners’ lives that way\, offering up hope and light in moments of darkness and doubt. The tender “Carry” pledges to always be there to pick up a lover’s slack\, while the striving “Chariot (I Know)” insists upon love and faith in the face of uncertainty\, and the lilting “All Or Nothing” (which was originally recorded and released as a single with Tall Heights) promises better days to come. Selecting which ten tracks to include on the album from the nearly three-and-a-half-hour concert wasn’t easy—there’s no way to include every fan favorite—but Montbleau ultimately let the spirit of the songs guide him.\n\n \n\n“I’m not trying to put out my greatest hits\,” he concludes. “I’m just trying to create the best and most timely art I can.”\n\n \n\nA lot may have changed since Ryan Montbleau first set foot in Applehead Recording\, but some things will always stay the same.

SUMMARY:Performance:Front Country
DESCRIPTION:An acoustic band born in the land of tech innovation\, Front Country was never going to be accepted as an authentic American roots band out of the gate. Cutting their teeth in progressive bluegrass jams in San Francisco’s Mission District and rehearsing in the East Bay\, they learned to play roots music their own way\, with the tools they had on hand. A mandolinist with a degree in composition and classical guitar. A guitarist trained in rock and world music. A bassist equally versed in jazz and bluegrass. A violinist with technique that could seamlessly hop between honky tonk and electropop. A female lead singer with grit and soul that was also a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter. In a wood-paneled country dive bar in the shadow of the San Francisco skyline\, Front Country forged a sound hell-bent on merging the musical past with the future. Now they've moved to Nashville\, released a new album\, \"Other Love Songs\,\" and continued to impress listeners of all stripes as one of the most exciting roots bands around.

SUMMARY:Performance:Kaia Kater
DESCRIPTION:A Montreal-born Grenadian Canadian\, Kaia Kater grew up between two worlds: her family’s deep ties to folk music and the years she spent soaking up Appalachian music in West Virginia. Her old-time banjo-picking skills\, deft arrangements\, and songwriting abilities have landed her in the spotlight in North America and the UK\, garnering critical acclaim from outlets such as NPR\, CBC Radio\, Rolling Stone\, BBC Music\, and No Depression. Kaia started her career early\, crafting her first EP\, \"Old Soul\" (2013)\, when she was just out of high school. Since then\, she’s gone on to release two more albums\, \"Sorrow Bound\" (2015) and \"Nine Pin\" (2016). Her second album wove between hard-hitting songs touching on social issues like the Black Lives Matter movement (“Rising Down”) and more personal narratives speaking to life and love in the digital age (“Saint Elizabeth”). \"Nine Pin\" sent Kaia on an 18-month touring journey from Ireland to Iowa\, including stops at The Kennedy Center\, Hillside Festival and London's O2 Shepherd's Bush. For her third album\, \"Grenades\,\" she has taken a decidedly different direction\, choosing to lean into a wider array of sounds and styles\, in order to convey a wider array of emotions and topics\, most notably her paternal ancestry.  Grenades has been nominated for a 2019 JUNO award for Contemporary Roots Album of the Year. Grand Rapids singer-songwriter Olivia Mainville opens.

SUMMARY:Performance:Les Poules à Colin

Fiddle\, guitar\, lap steel\, banjo\, mandolin\, piano\, bass and foot percussion form a rich and varied backdrop for their inventive arrangements. Les Poules à Colin reveal a unique and modern perspective on traditional Québec culture.

Drawing on roots in the music of John Lennon\, Bob Dylan\, and the New Wave\, his unique songs veer from comic surrealism to slightly melancholy pictures of everyday life and the slightly eccentric people who live it--all set to gorgeous ore fun\,\" he says.

SUMMARY:Performance:Diamonds in the Rust
DESCRIPTION:It was inevitable\, perhaps—creative musical friends find other creative musical friends and can’t resist creating music together. Out of the heart of the Midwest\, two veteran Michigan duos join forces in a new quartet/quintet: Diamonds in the Rust. In what began simply as an idea to tour together\, Annie & Rod Capps and Jan Krist & Jim Bizer (along with percussionist/composer Alan Finkbeiner) have formed a new band.  With each member already well known for performing prowess\, the new group promises to be that much more.  Everyone sings\, everyone plays multiple instruments\, and the band boasts a trio of respected\, award-winning songwriters.  The repertoire also includes a few choice selections from the rich musical history of the place where they grew and learned their craft. Perhaps best of all is the palpable joy and camaraderie that happens between good musicians who are also good friends. Says Rich Warren of WFMT Chicago's Folkstage: \"They obviously love performing together and their diverse and skilled writing styles come to life with their upbeat and convincing performance.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Rachel Baiman
DESCRIPTION:Rachel Baiman’s 2017 label debut\, \"Shame\,\" was featured on NPR’s \"Songs We Love\,\" called a \"rootsy wake-up call\" by Folk Alley\, and described by Vice’s Noisey as \"flipping off authority one song at a time.\" She has toured for four years with 10 String Symphony and played fiddle for other musicians\, including Kacey Musgraves. Now Baiman has announced \"Thanksgiving\,\" a self-produced four-song EP\, featuring her live trio as well as special guests including Molly Tuttle and Josh Oliver. \"Thanksgiving\" is an intriguing follow-up\, allowing her a chance to stretch out stylistically\, moving effortlessly between bluegrass\, to folk\, old-time and country. The bittersweet lyricism she’s become known for conveys the push and pull of hardship and hope we often feel during the holiday season. Raised in Chicago by a radical economist and a social worker\, Baiman was surrounded by social justice issues her entire life. “If I wanted to rebel against my parents I could have become a finance banker or a corporate lawyer” she says of her childhood\, and her new music has a social and political emphasis.

The Disarmers match her\, coloring the tales of resilience and empathy with urgency and broad sonic sweep. It’s easy to hear Sarah as a close cousin to artists like Hurray for the Riff Raff and Margo Price\, and she makes hard-core country music for a modern time. “You’re as good as gold/ I’m as good as gone\,” she sings with a mix of vulnerability and defiance. Says Tidal: \"Sarah Shook entered the spotlight as one of the most important new voices in new country music. Like she’s been there all her life.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Greg Brown
DESCRIPTION:Greg Brown's mother played electric guitar\, his grandfather played banjo\, and his father was a Holy Roller preacher in the Hacklebarney section of Iowa. Maybe that last item explains some of his amazing charisma! Greg's first professional singing job came at age 18 in New York City\, running hootenannies at the legendary Gerdes Folk City. After a year\, Greg moved west to Los Angeles and Las Vegas\, where he was a ghostwriter for Buck Ram of the Platters. Over more than four decades on the road\, Greg has developed into the essential Midwestern songwriter\, with a deep feeling for what makes people and communities hang together. He's a compelling performer\, aware that in folk music less is usually more and that the intimate musical detail communicates as well as the grand gesture. It's not so often that we see Greg Brown in southeastern Michigan\, so this could be a very scarce ticket!

DESCRIPTION:Delbert McClinton grew up singing and playing in the gutbucket clubs of Fort Worth\, and in a sense he's never left. He still has a voice that will roar through the noise of a barroom or through any kind of mental clutter you might bring to one of his concerts. Delbert and his band backed the absolute royalty of deep blues as they came through town—Jimmy Reed\, Sonny Boy Williamson\, Bobby \"Blue\" Bland\, and the incomparable Howlin' Wolf—and all that he saw and heard\, he absorbed and passes along in his own music. (He gave John Lennon some pointers on the harmonica\, to boot.) Delbert hasn't slowed down a bit\, and his shows are an Ark tradition. So don't delay on getting tickets! Delbert is coming to town with an as-yet-untitled new release.

SUMMARY:Performance:Dave Alvin
DESCRIPTION:Recorded in Los Angeles the day after the historic 1994 Northridge earthquake and produced by Greg Leisz\, \"King of California\" is an Americana classic. The album had its genesis its title track\, a readymade folk ballad written for Dave's mother\, in which an aspiring suitor heads west to make his fortune in the wild\, still-young Golden State. “King of California is when I decided ‘this is when I let the song tell me what it sounds like\,’” says Alvin. “Ever since then\, that’s been my rule. It sounds ridiculous\, but it was something I had to learn.” Originally released on Hightone Records\, and being reissued by Craft Recordings\, the remastered\, expanded edition includes a previously unreleased instrumental studio track\, “Riverbed Rag\,” along with bonus material. And King of California is available on vinyl for the first time EVER! Come by and hear Dave's latest thinking on this great album\, and pick up a copy. Dead Rock West opens with their tribute to The Everly Brothers.

SUMMARY:Performance:John Paul White (and his band) wsg Caleb Elliott
DESCRIPTION:With \"The Hurting Kind\,\" John Paul White has crafted a stunning album that draws on the lush\, orchestrated music made in Nashville in the early 1960s. Yet these songs retain a modern feel\, whether he's writing about overwhelming love\, unraveling relationships\, or the fading memory of a loved one. John Paul White grew up in tiny Loretto\, Tennessee\, and now lives in Florence\, Alabama\, not far from Muscle Shoals. He has cultivated his career in Nashville for two decades\, first as a songwriter for a major publisher\, then as half of The Civil Wars—a groundbreaking duo that won four Grammy Awards before disbanding in 2012. Because The Civil Wars were so hard to categorize\, White has earned a fan base among indie rock listeners\, folk audiences\, Americana outlets\, and AAA radio. So\, what will happen if people hear \"The Hurting Kind\" and call it country? “Well\, that doesn’t scare me in the least\,” he says. “As a matter of fact\, it kind of thrills me.” Louisiana \"art-swamp-rock\" songwriter Caleb Elliott opens.

SUMMARY:Performance:Eilen Jewell
DESCRIPTION:American Songwriter describes Eilen Jewell as\, “one of America’s most intriguing\, creative and idiosyncratic voices.” The Boise\, Idaho songwriter is one of a kind. \n\nThat singular voice springs forth from a woman of more than one mind\, and she taps into many of them on Gypsy (August\, 2019 Signature Sounds Recordings). By turns personal and political\, pissed off and blissed out\, Jewell’s first album of original material since 2015 expands brief moments of joy into lifetimes\, and distills epic sentiments and persistent doubts into succinct songs.\n\nJewell seamlessly blends heavy electric guitars and dirty fiddles on the rollicking country rocker “Crawl” with the sweet and understated horn section of the tender “Witness. \"79 Cents (The Meow Song)\" skewers sexism and discrimination with pointed humor over a circus bed of musical saw and horns\n\nLongtime fans who love Eilen Jewell in classic country mode will delight in the pedal steel driven \"These Blues\" and the sole cover on Gypsy\, \"You Cared Enough To Lie\,” written by fellow Idahoan and country legend Pinto Bennett.\n\nRather than pulling artist and listener this way and that\, the tensions within and between these twelve tracks propel Eilen Jewell’s eighth studio album forward as a remarkably cohesive full-length.

SUMMARY:Performance:Paul Thorn
DESCRIPTION:Raised in Tupelo\, Mississippi\, among the same spirits (and some of the actual people) who nurtured the young Elvis generations before\, Paul Thorn has rambled down back roads\, battled four-time world champion boxer Roberto Duran on national television\, signed with and been dropped by a major label\, performed on stages with Bonnie Raitt\, Mark Knopfler\, Sting\, and John Prine among many others\, and made some of the most emotionally restless yet relatable music of our time. With 20 years of writing\, touring\, and entertaining under his belt\, he shows no sign of slowing down with his somewhat-gospel new record\, \"Don’t Let the Devil Ride\,\" still breaking genre barriers and topping charts\, putting a new twist on his already entertaining live show. Paul is an Ark favorite who never fails to connect with Michigan audiences.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Gothard Sisters
DESCRIPTION:Springing from an immensely creative family of painters\, woodworkers\, sculptors\, tapestry weavers\, dancers and musicians\, this band of sisters has always been comfortable with thinking outside the box. The Gothard Sisters' unpredictable and theatrical flair brings a youthful splash to the time-honored tradition of Celtic folk music\, bridging the gap between classical\, folk\, Celtic\, world\, and roots influences with a sunny\, optimistic style. When Edmonds\, Washington\, sisters Greta Gothard\, Willow Gothard\, and Solana Gothard fuse their musical talents together\, the result is an irresistible mix of spritely violin and fiddle tones\, pure sibling vocal harmonies\, mandolin and pennywhistle accents\, all supported by the powerful and exuberant rhythms of the Irish bodhran\, African djembe\, and acoustic guitar. The sisters' collaborative process and eclectic style has evolved into a jubilant live performance\, full of entertaining sibling-banter\, Irish step-dancing\, foot-stomping tunes\, lyrical melodies\, storytelling\, and a genuine lightness of heart that leaves audiences feeling refreshed and inspired. They come to Michigan with a new album\, \"Midnight Sun.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Moxie Strings
DESCRIPTION:wizardry\,” The Moxie Strings offer listeners the unique opportunity to experience some of the world’s best-known instruments through a young\, progressive lens. Diana Ladio (who just returned from a revelatory solo year on the road with no fixed address) and Alison Lynn\, often joined by percussionist Fritz McGirr\, all hold Bachelor of Music degrees in music performance\, which have given them a technical foundation for exploration.

Alison performs on a newly invented electric cello\, and Diana on a contemporary five-string violin\, both through a variety of audio effects pedals. Fritz performs on a mix of world percussion instruments and drum kit. Their polished\, high-energy show and unique sound have quickly made The Moxie Strings one of the country’s most promising instrumental acts.

SUMMARY:Performance:Altan
DESCRIPTION:Altan\, named for Loch Altan in Ireland's County Donegal\, has arguably had a wider impact on audiences over the last 30 years than any other traditional Irish band. Their dynamic and warm live performances mix the most touching old Irish songs with hard-hitting reels and jigs\, and the band members' interest in and sheer enjoyment of each other musically is apparent even to audience members new to the Irish tradition. For the Irish music enthusiast\, Altan has a treasure trove of brilliant moves to offer: the mix of sounds from Donegal with outside influences\, the sheer virtuosity of the players\, the beauty\, delicate singing\, and down-to-earth charm of singer and fiddler Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh. Anywhere they go\, a concert by Altan is the Irish music event of the year\, and last year they released a much-awaited new album\, \"The Gap of Dreams.\"

DESCRIPTION:Students: Welcome to Ann Arbor and to The Ark\, a world-class club with music for all ages and tastes! Canada’s Terra Lightfoot offers up something rare: the kind of genuine document that can only come from a road-tested breed of songwriter and performer. Shot through with the guitarist-vocalist’s powerful\, bluesy soul\, vivid lyrics and ferocious six-string virtuosity\, it’s an unforgettable outing. Terra’s stunning\, soulful voice powers her emotional wallops on her latest album \"New Mistakes\,\" laid low as a gentle whisper over the swirling finger-picking of “You Get High\,” or belted out with nuclear swagger over the rock ’n’ soul grooves of “Hold You\,” battling things out with a righteous Jake Clemons sax solo during its climax. And the only forces that can go toe-to-toe with Terra's vocal prowess are her guitar chops—and her fast-developing songwriting.

SUMMARY:Performance:Sonny Landreth
DESCRIPTION:After a dozen acclaimed albums\, virtuoso slide guitarist and bandleader Sonny Landreth found himself at an artistic crossroads. He wanted to finally create the full-length acoustic collection his fans had long requested. But he was also itching to capture the sound of his stalwart electric trio augmented by a couple of his favorite collaborators. And the time was certainly right for an elastic\, career-spanning double-live album. So Sonny and his longtime friends decided to do it all. \"Recorded Live in Lafayette\" is a 16-song opus that covers more musical ground than any single album ever could\, as the singer and songwriter’s work stretches and twists across 93 minutes of full-band acoustic and electric bottleneck lightning. You can get a taste of the magic without going to Lafayette right here at The Ark—Sonny Landreth is one of the great live guitarists of our time!

Often referred to as the String Wizard\, he weaves stories of his travels and family life (he has raised seven kids)\, taking us through where his musical path has taken him.

SUMMARY:Performance:Amy Speace
DESCRIPTION:Nashville-based\, Amy Speace is a folk singer\, timeless and classic\, and a bit out of her own era. \"She has one of the richest and loveliest voices in the genre and her songs are luxuriously smart\,\" writes journalist Craig Havighurst (host of Nashville’s Music City Roots). \"She’s profoundly personal yet also a bit mythic.\" Since her discovery in 2006 by folk-pop icon Judy Collins\, who signed her to her own imprint Wildflower Records\, Amy has been heralded as one of the leading voices of the new generation of American folk singers. Her song “The Weight of the World” was named as the #4 Best Folk Song of the last decade by NYC’s premiere AAA radio station\, WFUV and was recorded by Judy Collins. From her beginnings in New York City as a classically trained actress with The National Shakespeare Company\, to the coffeehouses of Greenwich Village where she began playing her original songs\, to her move to East Nashville in 2009\, to her most recent release\, \"That Kind Of Girl\,: what ties all of her work together is a palpable empathy for the small struggles of the human condition. Rock critic Dave Marsh\, long a fan\, wrote taht \"Amy Speace’s songs hang together like a short story collection\, united by a common vantage point and common predicaments … it’s a gift to hear a heart so modest even when it’s wide open.\" She comes to Michigan with a brand-new release\, \"Me and the Ghost of Charlemagne.\"\n\nThis show is free at the door for Ark members at the Solo level and above.

SUMMARY:Other:Into the Dataverse Hackathon : Turning Maintenance Actions into Structured Data
DESCRIPTION:Event Details:\nSeptember 20: 4PM - 11 PM\nSeptember 21: 8AM - 11 PM\nSeptember 22: 7:30 AM - 5PM\n\nJoin us for our Into the Dataverse Hackathon\, September 20-22\, 2019 in Ann Arbor\, MI\, to develop solutions to turn maintenance actions into clean\, annotated data to feed predictive maintenance algorithms.  \n\nThe Challenge. Develop an AI-enabling user interface that can intuitively capture both structured and non-structured maintenance data\, and associated maintainer actions\, in an efficient and user-friendly manner to produce more accurate maintenance logs. \n\nFocus Areas. There are two focus areas imbedded in this challenge: \n\n•	Data Collection - How do you recognize\, classify\, and quantify maintainer action?  How do you associate those actions with required maintenance data fields?\n\n•	User Interface - What are the most intuitive and user-friendly interfaces?

SUMMARY:Performance:Reckless Kelly
DESCRIPTION:The heartland gave the band authenticity. Musical lives honed its skill. Adversity instilled its persistence. Moving to Austin gave it wings to fly. Understanding the virtuosity of Reckless Kelly requires the perspective of where the band has been. Cody and Willy Braun grew up in the White Cloud Mountains of Idaho. They moved to Bend\, Oregon\, and then migrated to that great musical fountainhead\, Austin\, Texas. It's natural that Reckless Kelly\, born in the dreams of the two Braun brothers and their heritage but nurtured in the bumpy road of maturity\, became the very essence of Americana music in all its far-flung glory. \"We came along in that second wave of the movement\,\" Cody Braun says. “Son Volt’s album 'Trace' had a major effect on us. People like Joe Ely\, Ray Kennedy and Robert Earl Keen were always big supporters. Our goal was to make music that had a country vibe but a solid rock edge. As Music Row magazine proclaimed\, \"In my perfect world\, this is what country radio would sound like.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Justin Townes Earle
DESCRIPTION:Justin Townes Earle has done a lot of living in his 37 years. For starters\, there’s the quick-hit bullet points about his childhood that seem to get dredged up in every interview\, article or review about the singer-songwriter and guitarist: Born the son of Steve Earle\, who was largely absent during Justin’s childhood\; struggles from a young age with addiction and numerous stints in rehab\; long stretches of itinerancy and general juvenile delinquency\; a youth he once said he was “lucky to have gotten out of alive.”\n\nThat’s before we get to the years spent honing his craft in Nashville bars and on club stages all over the world\; the various bands\, record labels and industry types that have been drawn toward and\, at times\, pushed away by him\; and\, finally\, the celebrated and rather formidable body of work he has amassed since releasing his critically-acclaimed 2007 debut EP\, Yuma.\n\nIt’s a seemingly bottomless well of material for a singer-songwriter to mine out of just three decades or so of life. And Earle at times has—most recently on his 2017 album\, Kids in the Street\, which the artist calls “one of the more personal records I’ve ever made.”\n\nBut when it came to his newest effort\, The Saint of Lost Causes\, Earle\, these days sober\, married and father to a baby girl\, chose to focus his gaze outward. “Maybe having a kid has made me look at the world around me more\,” he says.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Defense Dissertation: Impact of Neutral Density on the Operation of High-Power Magnetically Shielded Hall Thrusters
DESCRIPTION:Dissertation Committee Names:\n\nProfessor Alec D. Gallimore\, Co-Chair\nAssistant Professor Benjamin A. Jorns\, Co-Chair\nProfessor John E. Foster\, Cognate\nDr. Richard R. Hofer\, Member\n\nPresentation Info:\n\nThursday\, September 26th 2 PM\nJohnsons Room\, LEC\n\nThis work examines two innovative technologies in high-power electric propulsion – magnetic shielding and nesting channels. Magnetic shielding increases the lifetime of Hall thrusters by three orders of magnitude\, while nested Hall thrusters allow these devices to be scaled to the very high powers necessary for Mars missions.  Despite these advancements\, there remain open questions about the exact implications on Hall thruster operation. These open questions pose large risks for transitioning the thrusters to flight. One of the most critical is how neutral gas particles emanating from various sources influence the overall performance and lifetime of these thrusters. There exist several sources of neutrals such as the background facility pressure\, the cathode\, and adjacent channels on nested Hall thrusters.  As such\, we investigate here the neutral density impacts on the operation of high-power Hall thrusters. In summary\, we show that neutrals shift and compress the plasma\, which leads to an increase thrust and efficiency with higher neutral density. Additionally\, we find that these neutrals can change the near-wall ion behavior\, which affects the erosion and overall lifetime. Ultimately\, we have improved our understanding of the mechanisms behind neutral impacts on the performance and lifetime of magnetically shielded and nested Hall thrusters.

SUMMARY:Performance:Tannahill Weavers // Old Blind Dogs
DESCRIPTION:Scotland's Tannahill Weavers recently celebrated their 50th year on the road\, and they're not slowing down! Named for Scottish poet Robert Tannahill\, the Tannahill Weavers create music that is steeped in history yet brings the Scottish musical tradition forward into the present day. With innovative arrangements blending the beauty of traditional melodies with the power of modern rhythms\, the group embraces the rollicking\, even brawling qualities of Lowland Anglo-Scots tunes but never loses sight of the almost mystical Highland Celtic core. \"The penetrating sound of the Highland bagpipes is a thread of ancient memory running through it all\,\" they say. The band's diverse repertoire spans the centuries with fiery instrumentals\, topical songs\, and original ballads. They're an Ark favorite\, but tonight you have the chance to see them with an act that's a good deal rarer stateside—The Old Blind Dogs. Since forming in Scotland in 1992\, The Dogs have stood on the cutting edge of the Scots roots revival. The band has developed its own trademark style with an energetic mix of songs and tunes. Dynamic percussion\, polished vocals\, soaring fiddle and stirring pipes fuel the delicately phrased melodies and traditional songs. \"The Old Blind Dogs play with a compelling energy and intoxicating rhythm\,\" says The Scotsman\, \"...as players and audience seem to share a wild ecstasy of emotion.\" Twenty-seven years is a long time in the life of any band and most who reach those milestones are content to rest on the tried and tested formulas that have worked in the past. Not so for The  Old Blind Dogs\, whose newly released \"Room With A View\" takes them once again bravely in many new directions.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:PhD Defense: Dominique Smith
DESCRIPTION:Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes paralysis below the level of injury which\, at the cellular level\, results from neuron and oligodendrocyte cell death\, axonal loss\, demyelination\, and critically\, the limited capacity of spinal cord neurons to regenerate. Although central nervous system (CNS) tissue has the innate capacity to repair the local environment that develops after SCI lacks sufficient factors that promote regeneration and has an abundance of factors that inhibit regeneration. Many strategies have been attempted to aid in the regeneration of CNS tissue\, yet re-entry into intact spared tissue remains inadequately low. This is due to the complexity of the spinal cord microenvironment post injury and the barriers that must be addressed to elicit adequate regeneration. The Shea lab has developed multi-channel poly (lactide-co-glycolide) (PLG) bridges to promote spinal cord regeneration and restore functional losses. These bridges are biodegradable and provide a temporary structure that promotes regeneration for between 2 and 6 months post-implantation. The bridges have an interconnected pore structure\, that allows infiltration of endogenous cell populations\, including macrophages\, Schwann cells\, oligodendrocytes. Additionally\, the bridge mechanically stabilizes the injury with tissue ingrowth and reduces secondary injury and axonal dieback. Longitudinal channels encourage axons to regenerate into the bridge with cells aligned along this major axis. Both motor and sensory axons have been identified in bridge channels. These bridges also serve as a platform for delivery of therapeutics including drugs\, cells\, and notably lentivirus.\n \nThis dissertation investigated the use of lentiviral gene therapy from multi-channel bridges to barriers to regeneration during acute and chronic phases of SCI. We investigated myelination of regenerating axons by over-expression of platelet-derived growth factor-AA (PDGF) and noggin either alone or in combination in an acute mouse SCI model.  The combination of noggin + PDGF enhanced total myelination of regenerating axons relative to either factor alone and importantly\, enhanced functional recovery relative to the control condition. The increase in myelination was consistent with an increase in oligodendrocyte-derived myelin\, which was also associated with a greater density of cells of an oligodendroglial lineage relative to each factor individually and control conditions. We investigated synergistic effects of anti-inflammatory and regenerative factors by bi-cistronic delivery of NT-3 and IL-10 using PLG bridges after acute SCI. The combination of IL-10+NT-3 enhanced axonal growth and oligodendrocyte myelinated axon density significantly over control This resulted in increased locomotor functional recovery compared to IL-10 or NT-3 alone but increased hypersensitivity compared to IL-10 alone. Furthermore\, we observed a strong positive correlation between oligodendrocyte myelinated axon density and functional recovery. Lastly\, we investigated regeneration using the multi-channel bridge implanted into a chronic SCI following surgical resection of necrotic tissue. We characterized the dynamic injury response and noted that scar formation decreased at 4 and 8 weeks post injury (wpi)\, yet macrophage infiltration increased between 4 and 8 wpi. Subsequently\, scar tissue was resected and bridges were implanted at 4 and 8 wpi. We observed robust axon growth into the bridge and remyelination at 6 months post initial injury. Axon densities were increased for 8 week bridge implantation relative to 4 week bridge implantation\, whereas greater myelination\, particularly by Schwann cells\, was observed with 4 week bridge implantation. Taken together\, these results show the bridges as a great tool to manipulate and investigate the spinal cord microenvironment to improve functional outcomes.

SUMMARY:Performance:Adrian Legg
DESCRIPTION:Presented by The Ark\nGuitar gods in training\, take notice. Voted Guitarist of the Decade by Guitarist magazine and Best Acoustic Fingerstylist four years in a row by readers of Guitar Player\, Adrian Legg dazzles audiences with an unclassifiable mixture of country\, jazz\, folk\, rock\, and classical styles. For all his rapid-fire playing\, though\, Adrian never loses sight of melodies and their power to move us. And on top of that\, he's a tall tale teller of the first order\, with a dry sense of humor that would be reason enough in itself to come to one of his concerts. Says Newsday: \"Unlike Richard Thompson or Robert Fripp\, in whose league he belongs\, Legg seems never to have been seduced by rock. But unlike Leo Kottke or Ry Cooder\, whom he also occasionally resembles\, Adrian Legg is an adventurer\, not an archivist.\" He is\, quite simply\, one of the greatest guitarists in the world\, and perhaps the very least heralded among that group.

DESCRIPTION:Presented by The Ark\nThe modern renaissance of folk music began when John Gorka won the Kerrville Folk Festival's New Folk award in 1984\, and it grew to maturity when he released his debut album\, \"I Know\,\" three years later. Here was a singer-songwriter with a striking baritone voice that made you feel like you'd been hearing it all your life\, with the songwriting chops to take on and see into nearly every type of song—from personal pieces about love and sadness\, to bemused observations about daily life\, political thinking-aloud\, and sheer unmitigated whimsy. Three and a half decades later\, John still calls himself an aspiring folksinger\, and his music has just kept getting deeper and better over his 15 critically acclaimed albums. John isn't on the road as much as he used to be\, so don't miss this chance to catch a folk classic.

DESCRIPTION:Presented by The Ark\nThe Honeydrops have come a long way since guitarist and trumpeter Lech Wierzynkski and drummer Ben Malament started busking in an Oakland subway station\, but the band has stayed true to that organic\, street-level feel. Listening to Lech sing\, it can be a surprise that he was born in Warsaw\, Poland\, and raised by Polish political refugees. He learned his vocal stylings from contraband American recordings of Sam Cooke\, Ray Charles\, and Louis Armstrong\, and later at Oberlin College and on the club circuit in Oakland\, California. With the additions of Johnny Bones on tenor sax and clarinet\, Lorenzo Loera on keyboards\, and Beau Bradbury on bass\, they’ve built a powerful full-band sound to support Wierzynski’s vocals. More like parties than traditional concerts\, their shows feature extensive off-stage jamming and crowd interaction. “The whole point is to erase the boundaries between the crowd and us\,” Wierzynski says. \n\nGuitarist Javier Matos opens.

DESCRIPTION:Presented by The Ark\nDick Siegel never loses an edge that ranges from wry to sharp. Dick won the Best New Folk Artist award at the Kerrville Folk Festival in Texas\, and he's inspired plenty of songwriters in Michigan and beyond. Recently he's been showing up at next-generation roots events like Hollerfest and fitting right in. Dick is an immensely gifted and versatile composer. Ranging from jump blues and Buddy Holly-style pop to folk balladry and new folk lyricism\, his songs offer all sorts of immediate lyrical and musical pleasures. Dick was named in WDET's list of the most important and influential artists in the history of Detroit\, alongside legends such as John Lee Hooker\, Stevie Wonder\, and Aretha Franklin. \"I'm celebratory—I celebrate life from the huge to the minute\, from the tragic to the hilarious\,\" he explains. In concert\, he expertly steps into the roles of a raconteur\, a confidante\, your best friend\, a prophet\, a comedian\, a pair of eyes on the universe\, and an interpreter of daydreams.

SUMMARY:Performance:Evening with The Flatlanders
DESCRIPTION:Presented by The Ark\nThe Flatlanders—Jimmie Dale Gilmore\, Joe Ely\, and Butch Hancock—came together in Lubbock\, Texas\, in 1971. They were an insider's secret during the golden era of Austin music and recorded one album together\; it disappeared almost immediately\, but rare copies circulated from hand to hand for years afterward. The three individual Flatlanders\, meanwhile\, had gone on to solo careers as some of Texas's top singer-songwriters. Lately they've begun playing occasional shows\, imbued with a new sense of what they shared and of what each member—cosmic cowboy Gilmore\, rocker Ely\, and songcrafter Hancock—brought to the group. The end result is a sort of apotheosis of Texas music\, a relaxed\, creative show in which anything can happen and probably will.

His piano-based songwriting style is influenced by artists of the 1970s (with more than a bit of Stevie Wonder) and by more recent artists such as Ryan Adams. Brendan released his debut full-length album\, \"The Day Is Brave\,\" on the Decca label in 2008 and a follow-up\, \"Brendan James\,\" two years later. He has been a headliner on the MTV Soundtracker tour and\, with Jason Reeves and Amber Rubarth\, on a tour sponsored by Vespa motor scooters on which he traveled along the West Coast on a Vespa to promote environmental awareness. He took an artistic hiatus and roared back stronger than ever. Since we saw him last\, Brendan has released a new EP\, \"Wish You Well\,\" and he has more new music on the way.

SUMMARY:Performance:Delta Rae
DESCRIPTION:Presented by The Ark\nDelta Rae is a six-person folk-rock band from Durham\, North Carolina\, that includes siblings Ian\, Eric\, and Brittany Hölljes. The band's name came from a story their mother made up about a girl by that name who calls the Greek gods to Earth. The Hölljes siblings grew up partly in North Carolina and partly in the San Francisco Bay Area\, and both places contributed strands to their musical DNA. After college\, they moved into a house in the forest and set about finding their musical voice. Their early shows were legendary. \"A lot of times we’d come down off stage and sing something in the middle of the audience\, or be screaming out as opposed to singing in order to convey the emotion\, to find something primal that will affect people\,\" Ian recalls.

SUMMARY:Performance:Secret Agent 23 Skidoo
DESCRIPTION:Presented by The Ark\nIn the decade of dancing down their crazy path\, Secret Agent 23 Skidoo has evolved a sound and style that never dumbs down the music or underestimates the audience. With funk and beats as real as bands that play at midnight\, and with lyrics that aren’t afraid to employ a larger vocabulary that what is currently heard on mainstream radio for grown ups\, Skidoo fashions a world intended for the whole family. The universal constants that we all deal with\, such as love\, struggle\, dreams\, fear and learning to become ourselves\, are the soul of these musical adventures that bounce\, fly and slide smoothly through landscapes of wild imagination.

SUMMARY:Performance:Kittel & Co.
DESCRIPTION:Presented by The Ark\nPreviously of the Grammy-winning Turtle Island Quartet\, also nominated for a Grammy for Best Instrumental Composition in 2018\, Jeremy Kittel has been a composer-arranger-collaborator for such diverse artists as My Morning Jacket\, Yo-Yo Ma & the Silk Road Ensemble\, and Bela Fleck & Abigail Washburn. He blazes through a Bach violin partita as easily as a Scottish reel\, bringing the same intense focus and precision to both. For the last few years the Michigan native\, now based in Brooklyn\, has been diligently building his own repertoire of music for a wholly original new group. His all-star band\, Kittel and Co.\, features mandolin phenomenon Josh Pinkham (named “the future of the mandolin” by Mandolin Magazine)\, guitarist Quinn Bachand (“Canada’s Top Celtic Guitarist”—Ashley MacIsaac)\, cellist Nathaniel Smith (Sarah Jarosz\, Kacey Musgraves)\, and hammer-dulcimer wizard Simon Chrisman (acclaimed for bringing a new tonal flexibility to the instrument).

SUMMARY:Presentation:AE Dissertation Defense: Contributions to the Development of Entropy-Stable Schemes for Compressible Flows
DESCRIPTION:Ayoub Gouasmi\, PhD Candidate\, Aerospace Engineering\n\n\nEntropy-Stable (ES) schemes have gathered a lot of attention over the last decade\, especially in the context of under-resolved simulations of compressible turbulent flows\, where high-order accuracy and robustness are difficult to simultaneously achieve. ES schemes can enforce a non-decreasing total entropy\, in agreement with the second principle of thermodynamics. However\, several challenges remain to their practical use.\n\nThe current state-of-the-art of ES schemes solves the Navier-Stokes equations for a single-component perfect gas in chemical and thermal equilibrium. This model is not appropriate in applications such as hypersonics and combustion. As a first step towards enabling such applications\, we constructed ES schemes for the multicomponent compressible Euler equations. Along the way\, we also extended a theoretical result on the correct local behavior of entropy-stable approximations.\n\nWhile entropy-stability is valuable\, it does not imply a well-behaved solution. To better understand how ES schemes may or may not improve solution quality\, we revisited\, in terms of entropy\, two classical shock-capturing problems where stability is not the core issue. We studied the overheating anomalies typically encountered in shock reflection simulations\, and the severe accuracy degradation issues of upwind-type schemes in the low Mach regime.\n\n\nDissertation Committee:\n\nChair: Prof. Karthik Duraisamy\nCognate Member: Prof. Smadar Karni\nMembers: Prof. Philip L. Roe\, Prof. Eitan Tadmor (University of Maryland)\, Dr. Scott M. Murman (NASA Ames Research Center)

SUMMARY:Performance:Nellie McKay
DESCRIPTION:Presented by The Ark\nNellie McKay has released\, she says\, seven relatively accomplished albums\, won a Theatre World Award for her Broadway portrayal of Polly Peachum in The Threepenny Opera\, co-created and starred in the award-winning Broadway hit Old Hats\, written compelling musical biographies of a variety of female figures\, and much more that's unlike anything else out there. Nellie McKay's latest album\, \"Sister Orchid\,\" speaks of the night\, the outsider\, the plaintive wail of those lost at sea. \"Sister Orchid\" was conceived in solitude\, executed in darkness. It comes from a place of quiet\, a world of low lights and cool drinks\, up against a hard wall. An oasis of hungry eyes and easy promises\, warm as a biscuit\, the kind of place your mother warned you against. If you haven't heard Nellie McKay\, you don't know what you're missing!

SUMMARY:Performance:Joan Shelley
DESCRIPTION:Kentucky-born singer-songwriter Joan Shelley opened for Patty Griffin at The Ark several years ago. She was recently featured on NPR's \"Fresh Air\" and has been compared to Sandy Denny and Vashti Bunyan. Joan is a songwriter and singer from Louisville. She draws inspiration from traditional and traditionally minded performers from her native Kentucky\, as well as those from Ireland\, Scotland\, and England\, but she’s not a folksinger. Her disposition aligns more closely with that of\, say\, Roger Miller\, Dolly Parton\, or her fellow Kentuckian Tom T. Hall\, who once explained—simply\, succinctly\, in a song—\"I Witness Life.\" Joan has shared shows with the likes of Bonnie \"Prince\" Billy\, Wilco\, Chris Smither\, Andrew Bird\, and Richard Thompson\, and Jeff Tweedy produced her 2017 record \"Joan Shelley\" at The Loft in Chicago. She comes to Michigan with a new release\, \"Like the River Loves the Seal.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Enter the Haggis
DESCRIPTION:Presented by The Ark\nA haggis is a tasty Scottish dish consisting of sheep heart\, liver\, and lungs\, mixed with oatmeal\, onion\, suet\, and spices\, and then boiled inside the sheep's stomach. The Canadian-Scots band Enter the Haggis (bagpiper Craig Downie is from Scotland) has just about as much variety in their style\, a high-speed collision of Celtic music\, rock\, bluegrass\, funk\, and world music. An Enter the Haggis live show is a musical feast—dynamic and emotionally uplifting. Alternating between upbeat rock numbers with sing-along choruses and slower\, more introspective alt pop songs\, the band plays progressive and lyrically driven music that’s strongly rooted in Celtic tradition—from the storytelling to the bagpipes. Enter the Haggis returns to The Ark with an as-yet-untitled new release—be the first one on your block!

SUMMARY:Performance:Birds of Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Presented by The Ark\nBirds of Chicago\, the husband-and-wife duo of JT Nero and Allison Russell\, reassert the simple notion that beautiful words and music can still tap deep veins of emotion. With stark\, elemental imagery that feels like scripture\, or a lost folk song recovered\, The Birds draw heavily on the gospel tradition\, and they call their music secular gospel. For Birds of Chicago\, every word counts. Every note counts. No gold-dusting\, no filler. Music is the good news\, and the music of this duo has a quiet but seismic urgency. Birds of Chicago alternate moody rock swagger with ghostly soundscapes. Their music is melancholy but never shoe-gazing. raw and soul-rich. Birds of Chicago have developed a fervent following\, touring 200 nights a year since their formation in late 2012. They're coming to Michigan with an ambitious new release\, \"Love in Wartime\,\" that they call \"a rock and roll suite with a cinematic sweep.\" It's co-produced by Nero and Luther Dickinson (North Mississippi Allstars).

SUMMARY:Performance:Leif Vollebekk
DESCRIPTION:\"New Ways\" is a new album by Montreal’s Leif Vollebekk\, whose music has been described as inhabiting a space between Sigur Rós and Bob Dylan. Two years ago\, things were changing fast\, and the songwriter didn’t want to forget. \"I often think of Leonard Cohen’s line\, 'I hope you’re keeping some kind of record\,'\" Leif says. \"So I did.\" It was like he was pretending you can compose a soundtrack to your own life (which perhaps you can). In the end\, \"New Ways\" is a document of everything felt\, the way each moment arrived and moved through him. Whereas his Polaris Prize–winning \"Twin Solitude\" was about self-reflection\, \"New Ways\" is about engaging and changing\, touching and being touched. It’s a physical record\, with louder and tighter grooves\, and the rawest lyrics the musician has ever recorded. A portrait of beauty\, desire\, longing\, risk\, remembrance—without an instant of regret. \"She’s my woman and she loved me so fine\,\" goes the chorus to one tune. \"She’ll never be back.\"

SUMMARY:Presentation:Defense Dissertation: Design and Implementation of Mechanical Metamaterials
DESCRIPTION:Brittany Essink\n\nCommittee:\nChair: Professor Daniel J. Inman\nCognate: Professor Kon-Well Wang\nMembers:\nProfessor Henry Sodano\nAssociate Professor Veera Sundararaghavan\n\nPresentation Info:\nDate: 12/6\nTime: 2:00 PM\nLocation: McDivitt Conference Room\n\nThe use of mechanical metamaterials\, or metastructures\, for vibration suppression has recently emerged as an approach to creating vibrationally resilient systems. Although many metastructures predict an improved performance\, many have not been experimentally validated due to the previous infeasibility of manufacturing their complex geometries. \n\nAdditionally\, existing research has only considered designs excited in one or two directions. This research successfully designs and fabricates the first multi-axis mechanical metamaterial design capable of attenuating vibration in three directions of excitation (longitudinal\, transverse\, and torsional) and experimentally validates its performance against FEM and analytical models.\n\nThis work analyzes cases where using a highly damped material will outperform an optimized geometry and determines a dividing line between material damping and vibration absorption in mechanical metamaterial design. These criteria can help determine whether it is necessary to undergo costly geometric optimization processes.\n	\nThe peak separation capabilities of the multi axis mechanical metamaterial are considered for augmentation through a control system located on the distributed absorber system. A pole placement control system was introduced to adjust the natural frequencies of the absorbers. Additional insight on control use in mechanical metamaterials is discussed\, including recommendations on when an active control system should be considered.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Defense Dissertation: Ionization Instability of the Hollow Cathode Plume
DESCRIPTION:Marcel Georgin\nPh.D. Candidate in Applied Physics\n\nCommittee: Alec Gallimore\, Benjamin Jorns\, Ryan McBride\, Ioannis Mikellides\, and Timothy Sarver-Verhey\n\nIn this work\, we study the formation of the poorly understood process of the spot-to-plume mode transition in hollow cathodes and the associated plasma instability that generates erosive high-energy ions. We propose a novel mechanism for the onset of this wave\, that has its roots in existing experimental and numerical support\, whereby an ionization instability between the electrons and neutrals may be destabilized by out-of-phase temperature fluctuations and giving rise to an enhancement in the plasma particle production through ionization. Experimentally\, we show that temperature oscillations in the plasma are highly-correlated the presence of plasma turbulence\, which is known to drive the heating of electrons in the plasma produced by the cathode. A zero-dimensional model is derived from first principles and is investigated through experiments. The results show that the model is able to largely capture the correct trends in the wave properties with varying experimental parameters.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Defense Dissertation: \"Multidisciplinary Design Optimization of an Aircraft Considering Path-Dependent Performance\"
DESCRIPTION:John Jasa\n\nCommittee:\nCo-Chair: Prof. Joaquim R.R.A. Martins\nCo-Chair: Dr. Charles Mader\nCognate: Prof. Yin Lu Young\nMembers:\nProf. Kryzstof Fidkowski\nDr. Justin Gray\n\nAircraft are multidisciplinary systems that are challenging to design due to interactions between the subsystems. The relevant disciplines\, such as aerodynamic\, thermal\, and propulsion systems\, must be considered simultaneously using a path-dependent formulation to accurately assess aircraft performance. The overarching contribution of this work is the construction and exploration of a coupled aero-thermal-propulsive-mission multidisciplinary model to optimize supersonic aircraft considering their path-dependent performance.\n\nFirst\, the mission\, thermal\, and propulsion disciplines are examined in detail. The aerostructural design and mission of a morphing-wing aircraft is optimized before the optimal flight profile for a supersonic strike mission is investigated. Then a fuel thermal management system\, commonly used to dissipate excess thermal energy from supersonic aircraft\, is constructed and presented. Engine design is then investigated through two main applications: multipoint optimization of a variable-cycle engine and coupled thermal-engine optimization considering a bypass duct heat exchanger.\n\nThis culminates into a fully-coupled path-dependent mission optimization problem considering the aerodynamic\, propulsion\, and thermal systems. This large-scale optimization problem captures non-intuitive design trades that single disciplinary models and path-independent methods cannot resolve. Although the focal application is a supersonic aircraft\, the methods presented here are applicable to any air or space vehicle and other path-dependent problems.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Appleseed Collective
DESCRIPTION:Mix the Hot Club of Paris with the sweaty soul of Dixieland\, a couple blades of bluegrass\, a pinch of ragtime beat\, and a western swinging swagger\, and you've just conjured the washboard-driven sound of The Appleseed Collective. The Appleseed Collective is poised to become the new sound of string music. Riding the wave of the bluegrass revival beyond newgrass and into a strange new genre-bending territory\, they explore the full range of dark and light\, old and new\, composition and improvisation in a deeply theatrical stage show that transports audiences through time. \"The blends of swing\, bluegrass\, Dixieland ditties and alluring gypsy-folk whirls—is something close to a transcendent listen ... you're there\, on some dirtroad\, being led on by these songs\,\" says reviewer Jeff Milo of iSpy magazine. The Appleseed Collective has been getting attention from as far away as the UK\, and this is a Michigan band that's going places!

SUMMARY:Presentation:Chair's Distinguished Lecture: Algorithmic Foundations of Resilient Collaborative Autonomy: From Robust Combinatorial Optimization to Perception
DESCRIPTION:Vasileios Tzoumas\nResearch scientist\nMassachusetts Institute of Technology\n\nCollaborative autonomous vehicles hold the promise to revolutionize transportation\, disaster response\, and space exploration.  Already\, micro-aerial vehicles with on-board cameras have become a multi-billion-dollar industry\; and as we enter the new decade\, teams of semi-autonomous flying cars\, jet fighters\, and space-exploration vehicles are being launched.  An era of ubiquitous aerospace vehicles is becoming a reality\, and along with it autonomous vehicles that can form teams\, agree on navigation plans\, and perceive the world.  However\, this future is threatened by denial-of-service (DoS) and deceptive attacks and failures that can compromise the vehicles’ teams\, navigation plans\, and perception capabilities.  These threats lie outside the reach of cybersecurity\, and of estimation and control against malicious data.  Instead\, algorithms at the intersection of perception\, planning\, and non-convex optimization are needed.  I will present two algorithms from my research\, and my vision for a resilient collaborative autonomy.\n\n\nFirst\, I will discuss the first provably optimal algorithms for robust combinatorial optimization against any numbers of DoS attacks.  The algorithms can robustify for the first time teams and their navigation plans against DoS attacks.  I will demonstrate this via search and rescue\, and surveillance experiments.  Second\, I will present algorithms that robustify visual perception capabilities against deceptive failures (outliers). The algorithms achieve extreme outlier-robustness in near real-time for the first time.  I will illustrate this across various perception problems\, on datasets for localization and mapping (SLAM)\, object recognition\, and 3D-reconstruction. I will conclude with my vision for a collaborative autonomy that is not only robust but also resilient: I will argue the need for a technological convergence between (i) “cyber” capabilities for a distributed artificial intelligence\, driven by adaptive learning and data-driven perception and navigation algorithms\, and (ii) “physical” capabilities of morphable structures\, self-healing materials\, and smart devices.\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nVasileios Tzoumas is a research scientist at the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AeroAstro)\, and the Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems (LIDS)\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).  Before that\, he was a post-doctoral associate at AeroAstro and LIDS for a bit over a year.  He received his Ph.D. in 2018 at the Department of Electrical and Systems Engineering\, University of Pennsylvania (UPenn).  In 2017\, he was a visiting Ph.D. student at the Institute for Data\, Systems\, and Society\, MIT.  He holds a Diploma in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens (2012)\; a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering from UPenn (2016)\; and a Master of Arts in Statistics from the Wharton School of Business at UPenn (2016).  He aims to enable autonomous\, collaborative cyber-physical systems that are resilient against denial-of-service and deceptive attacks and failures.  His theoretical focus is at the interplay of perception\, control\, communication\, and computing.  His application and experimental focus include multi-robot tasks of autonomous (visual) navigation\, information gathering\, and surveillance.  Vasileios builds on fundamental tools of control theory\, robotic perception\, computational complexity\, and combinatorial and non-convex optimization.  He was a Best Student Paper Award finalist at the 2017 IEEE Conference in Decision and Control (CDC).

SUMMARY:Performance:Kitty Donohoe
DESCRIPTION:Presented by The Ark\nMichigan Emmy award-winning songwriter Kitty Donohoe was born into a large\, creative family outside of Detroit and has been ‘making up’ songs for as long as she can remember. Describing her music as ‘folky\, bluesy\, Irishy\, American\, Canadianish’\, she draws from her roots to create music that is uniquely her own ~ music that’s \"haunting\, melodic and literate\" (All Music Guide_. With a love of language\, an innate sense of melody\, and the soul of a storyteller\, she backs herself on piano\, guitar and cittern with equal finesse\, but she sees these skills as mostly providing the foundation for the music she writes\, both songs and instrumentals. Kitty’s latest CD\, The Irishman’s Daughter\, combines her original pieces with some traditional music and is getting great reviews.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Chair's Distinguished Lecture: Numerical modeling of plasmas for space propulsion and nuclear fusion
DESCRIPTION:Bhuvana Srinivasan\nAssistant Professor\nDirector of Plasma Dynamics Computational Laboratory\nVirginia Tech\n\nA detailed understanding of plasma physics is critical to overcoming physics and engineering challenges such as those posed by long-duration operation of electric propulsion devices and the development of nuclear fusion concepts. At the Plasma Dynamics Computational Laboratory at Virginia Tech\, we study fundamental processes such as plasma sheath physics and plasma-material interactions to support and overcome some of the physics challenges of advanced space propulsion concepts. Furthermore\, nuclear fusion\, which remains one of the biggest unsolved problems of the previous and present centuries\, may hold the key to long-duration\, high-payload spaceflight in addition to potentially satisfying terrestrial energy demands. Research at the laboratory also supports a wide array of fusion concepts including magnetic confinement fusion\, magneto-inertial fusion\, and inertial confinement fusion. The high-energy-density hydrodynamics research being performed to study these concepts extends to astrophysics and national security applications. A common challenge across these varied applications is the necessity for high-fidelity computational models for kinetic and fluid plasmas. Recent advances in plasma modeling\, from magnetohydrodynamic to fully kinetic\, will be presented. This research seminar will describe novel kinetic and multi-fluid models and will discuss original research contributions in two representative applications: plasma-material interactions relevant to plasma thrusters and high-energy-density hydrodynamics.\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nDr. Bhuvana Srinivasan is an Assistant Professor in the Kevin T. Crofton Department of Aerospace and Ocean engineering at Virginia Tech where she has been developing a computational plasma physics program. Prior to joining Virginia Tech\, she was a postdoc and a scientist at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. She received her PhD from the University of Washington. She teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in spacecraft propulsion\, advanced spacecraft propulsion\, computational plasma physics\, and hypersonic aerodynamics. She is the Director of the Plasma Dynamics Computational Laboratory which comprises two postdocs\, eight PhD students\, and a number of masters and undergraduate students. The research areas in her group include plasma-material interactions in thrusters and magnetic fusion devices\, instabilities in high-energy-density fusion and astrophysical plasmas\, ionospheric plasma instabilities\, and numerical algorithm development for fluid and kinetic models. She is a recipient of the NSF CAREER award as well as the Outstanding Assistant Professor award and Faculty Fellow in the College of Engineering at Virginia Tech. Her research is supported by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research\, the Department of Energy Office of Science\, the Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration\, the National Science Foundation\, and the Los Alamos National Laboratory

SUMMARY:Presentation:Chair's Distinguished Lecture: A Molecular-Level Understanding of Hypersonic Flows
DESCRIPTION:Tom Schwartzentruber\nProfessor of Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics\nUniversity of Minnesota\n\nPredicting what happens as a hypersonic vehicle flies through the atmosphere involves a lot of interesting physics. The strong shock wave\, generated ahead of the vehicle\, superheats the air to thousands of degrees and partially dissociates the air into atomic oxygen and nitrogen. Surrounded by this high-temperature shock layer\, the vehicle heat shield experiences large heating rates and must simultaneously withstand high temperatures and intense surface chemistry driven by reactive atomic species. Furthermore\, as the shock-heated gas flows around the vehicle\, the flow can transition from smooth laminar flow to chaotic turbulent flow and can form complex shock interactions near control surfaces. Predicting such effects requires understanding the interplay between fluid dynamics\, thermodynamics\, and chemical kinetics\; a research field referred to as aerothermodynamics.\n\nIn this talk\, I will focus mainly on our current understanding of the high-temperature shock layer. I will explain how we have reached the point where this thin shock layer (often on the order of one centimeter thick) can be studied at the scale of individual molecular collisions. In fact\, simulations can now be performed where the only model input consists of the forces between atoms as dictated entirely by quantum chemistry. I will present results from such first-principles simulations along with comparison to experimental shock-tube data\, and I will discuss some of the new physical insights gained. I will conclude the talk by highlighting the next big challenge of pursuing molecular understanding for gas-material interactions. This is an exciting field driven not only by NASA and the Department of Defense\, but also by commercial endeavors to field satellite mega-constellations in low Earth orbit.\n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nTom Schwartzentruber received his Bachelor’s degree in engineering science and his Master’s degree in aerospace engineering from the University of Toronto. He then received his doctorate degree in aerospace engineering from the University of Michigan. For his doctorate work he received the AIAA Orville and Wilbur Wright graduate award. He joined the faculty in the Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics department at the University of Minnesota in 2008\, after which he received a Young Investigator Program Award from the AFOSR and the University of Minnesota Taylor Career Development Award for exceptional contributions by a candidate for tenure. He specializes in particle simulation methods such as direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) and molecular dynamics (MD)\, including coupling such methods with each other and with continuum computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods. Currently\, his research group is involved in a number of projects spanning hypersonic nonequilibrium reacting flows\, high-temperature gas-surface interactions\, hybrid particle-continuum methods\, and micro-scale flows.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Defense Dissertation: Dynamic Coverage Control and Estimation in Collaborative Networks of Human-Aerial/Space Co-Robots
DESCRIPTION:William M. Bentz\n\nCommittee:\nAssistant Professor Dimitra Panagou (Chair)\nProfessor Ella M. Atkins (Member)\nProfessor Ilya V. Kolmanovsky (Member)\nAssistant Professor Ram Vasudevan (Cognate Member)\n\nPresentation Info:\nMarch 18\, 2020\n10:00 AM\n1044 FXB (McDivitt Conference Room)\n\nThe past twenty years have seen rapid improvements in the performance of small unmanned aerial vehicles as well as the continued miniaturization of low-cost sensors. The intersection of these technologies has given rise to a renaissance of control and decision-making developments geared towards mobile wireless sensor networks (MWSNs). One such development\, dynamic coverage control\, enables MWSNs to rapidly explore and gather information from uncertain environments. This defense will overview contributions to dynamic coverage in environments containing information decay\, stochastic intruders\, and power-constrained vehicles.\n\nThe extension of coverage to collaborative networks of humans and aerial/space robots shall also be presented. The author considers a human wearing an augmented reality (AR) device while completing multiple interdependent tasks that are time-sensitive and spatially separated. The problem of coverage is here coupled to that of human intent inference. An aerial robot shares the environment and uses machine learning in order to determine both the locations of tasks as well as their temporal context. This enables the streaming of real time task images that are beyond the human’s field of view to their AR display. In such a way\, the human can instantaneously cover a greater volume of the environment than is naturally possible.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Defense Dissertation: Variational and Time-Distributed Methods for Real-time Model Predictive Control
DESCRIPTION:Dominic Liao-McPherson\n\nCommittee:\nProf. Ilya Kolmanovsky (Chair)\nProf. Jing Sun (Cognate)\nProf. Alex Gorodetsky\nDr. Ken Butts (External\, Toyota)\n\nTime/location:\nMarch 19th 2020\, 10:00 AM \nGM Conference Room\, Lurie Engineering Center (4th floor)\n\nAutonomous systems are beginning to impact many aspects of society\, e.g.\, drones are becoming commonplace and self-driving cars are being developed on an industrial scale. These systems need to make complex decisions onboard\; mathematical optimization is a powerful paradigm for approaching these problems. In particular\, Model Predictive Control (MPC)\, a powerful optimization-based methodology for controlling constrained systems\, is an important enabler for autonomy. However\, solving optimization problems reliably\, in real-time\, using limited onboard computing resources\, is a difficult undertaking. \n\nThis dissertation addresses the development\, implementation\, and validation of several numerical methods for solving optimal control problems (OCPs) in real-time. First\, I present FBstab\, a novel quadratic programming algorithm with strong robustness properties that is easy to warmstart and can exploit the structure of optimal control problems. Second\, I introduce Time-distributed Optimization (TDO)\, a unifying framework for studying the system theoretic consequences of computation limits\, which I use to show that\, in some situations\, it is possible to recover the stability and robustness properties of optimal MPC despite limited resources.  Finally\, I illustrate the applicability of these methods in the real-world through a diesel engine control example.

SUMMARY:Rally / Mass Meeting:PROTEST: Justice for Daunté Wright
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan has ignored police brutality and systemic racism for too long! Join the protest to hold them accountable. We will be creating shirts on-site\, please bring a shirt to participate. We will be meeting in the Diag then the march will continue throughout campus.\n\nPurpose\n\nThe unjust and unnecessary death of Daunté Wright is one of the most recent examples of how systemic racism has claimed the life of yet another Black person. We\, the School of Social Work Community\, are responding to this national\, pervasive problem by saying “enough is enough\,” and we need to make system-level change in our own sphere of influence. The University of Michigan must urgently move towards system-level changes by promoting more anti-racist practices and policies in our community. The University of Michigan\, with its abundance of resources\, should also be taking concrete actions to support the family and loved ones of Daunté Wright and the countless others who have lost someone to police brutality.\n\nJustice for Daunté Wright looks like supporting his family as they deal with this traumatic loss\; it looks like respecting his life enough to call his death a murder\, not an accident. Justice for Daunté Wright looks like holding the police officer who murdered him fully accountable\, and\, more broadly\, it looks like working to dismantle the systemic problems that lead to police brutality. While it is easy to point to implicit bias or a lack of training\, the root cause of police terrorism and other systems that disproportionately harm Black\, Indigenous\, and People of Color (BIPOC) populations is hatred in the form of racism. Unfortunately\, higher education is a system steeped in racism as well. Many BIPOC students are harmed while pursuing their education\, and many White students move through their educational experience without learning how they are perpetuating oppression. These problems impact students\, faculty\, and staff. \n\nAs students in the School of Social Work\, we have identified many ways that our school harms our BIPOC community members\, and we know similar problems exist throughout the University. Similarly\, we have identified many missed opportunities to prepare students to exit the University with the skills and knowledge to be anti-racist and disrupt cycles of harm. These are the ways systemic racism continues\, and this is part of the reason we fail to make meaningful progress on complex issues like police brutality.\n\nWe demand that the University of Michigan uses its power as a leading university to take immediate action to support Daunté Wright’s family. We demand that the School of Social Work take direct action to dismantle systemic racism in our community. We demand the University broadly considers how the issues that exist in the microcosm of the School of Social Work exist University-wide. We demand that the University of Michigan and School of Social Work adopt intentional practices to counteract the harm imposed on the BIPOC Community. Enough is enough!

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:PhD Defense: Jiayue Cao
DESCRIPTION:The stomach and brain interact closely with each other. Their interactions are central to digestive functions and the “gut feeling”. The neural pathways that mediate the stomach-brain interactions include the vagus nerve and the thoracic nerve. Through these nerves\, the stomach can relay neural signals to a number of brain regions that span a central gastric network. This gastric network allows the brain to monitor and regulate gastric physiology and allows the stomach to influence emotion and cognition. Impairment of this gastric network may lead to both gastric and neurological disorders\, e.g.\, anxiety\, gastroparesis\, functional dyspepsia\, and obesity. However\, the structural constituents and functional roles of the central gastric network remain unclear. In my dissertation research\, I leveraged complementary techniques to characterize the central gastric network in rats across a wide range of scales and different gastric states. In animal experiments\, I used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to map brain activity synchronized with gastric electrical activity and to map brain activations induced by electrical stimulation applied to the cervical vagus or its afferent terminals on the stomach. I also used neurophysiology to characterize gastric neurons in brainstem in response to gastric electrical stimulation. Results from my studies suggest that 1) gastric neurons in the brainstem are selective to the orientation of muscle activity relayed through intramuscular arrays\, 2) the central gastric network is intrinsically coupled to gastric slow waves and their amplitude fluctuations primarily via vagal signaling\, 3) selective stimulation of the vagus can evoke widespread and fast brain responses and alter functional connectivity within and beyond the central gastric network. My dissertation research contributes to the foundation of mapping and characterizing the central and peripheral mechanisms of gastric interoception and sheds new light on where and how to stimulate the peripheral nerves to modulate stomach-brain interactions.\n\n \n\nDate: Wednesday\, June 23\, 2021\n\nTime: 3:00 PM\n\nZoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/2757414653\n\nChair: Dr. Zhongming Liu

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Towards an Anti-Ableist Academy - Advancing Inclusion\, Diversity\, Equity and Accessibility at U-M
DESCRIPTION:Advancing an Anti-Ableist Academy at Michigan - Kick-Off Event\nMonday\, October 4\, 10am\nFeaturing Keynote Speaker: Dr. Oluwaferanmi O. Okanlami\n\nABOUT THE CONFERENCE\nA virtual colloquial series of events throughout Disability Community Month\, Toward an Anti-Ableist Academy invites the campus community to learn more about creating a welcoming University climate that actively works toward embracing disability culture and experiences. Ableism is defined as discrimination and social prejudice against people with disabilities and/or people who are perceived to be disabled.\n\nThese virtual events encourage open dialogue and discussion with students\, staff\, faculty and disability experts\, providing opportunities to learn about best practices that ensure the disabled community can fully participate in campus life at the University of Michigan.\n\nThe conference was created to provide an update on the work of the Student IDEA (Inclusion\, Diversity\, Equity\, and Accessibility) Board\, their recommendations and the ongoing work to implement them. The charge of the Student IDEA Board was\, broadly\, to assess the current state and capacity of the University’s infrastructure to support and include students who are\, or may become\, impacted by barriers within the University and/or the University culture regarding disability and accessibility.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:\"The Fortunes\" by Peter Ho Davies
DESCRIPTION:Peter Ho Davies novel “The Fortunes” has been aptly described as “sly\, funny\, intelligent\, and artfully structured.”  “The Fortunes” expands the notion of a multigenerational novel by moving beyond the saga of a single family to the story of Chinese Americans beginning in the 1860’s - - - Ah Ling\, a laundryman and railway worker in the1860’s\; Anna May Wong a film star in 1920’s and 30’s\; Vincent Chin\, a young man beaten to death by two auto workers in Detroit in 1982\; and finally\, a Chinese American and his wife who travel to China to adopt a baby girl. \n\nJoyce Carol Oates describes it as “A prophetic work\, with passages of surpassing beauty…”\n\nThe Times Literary Supplement said The Fortunes “Should take its place as a seminal\, defining text on the Chinese-American experience.”\n\n“The Fortunes” was a New York Times Notable Book\, won the Anisfield-Wolf Award and the Chautauqua Prize\, and was a finalist for the Dayton Literary Peace Prize.  \n \nPeter Ho Davies is a contemporary writer of Welsh and Chinese descent.  He was born and raised in Coventry\, England.   He studied physics at Manchester University and then English at Cambridge University.   In 1992\, he moved to the United States to study in the graduate creative writing program at Boston University. \n\nHe has taught at the University of Oregon and at Emory University and is currently the Charles Baxter Collegiate Professor of English Language and Literature in the Helen Zell MFA Program in Creative Writing at the University of Michigan.  Peter Ho Davies is the author of the novels “A Lie Someone Told You About Yourself” (2021)\, “The Fortunes” (2016) and “The Welsh Girl” (2007)\, as well as the story collections “The Ugliest House in the World” (1997) and “Equal Love” (2000).  \n\nHe has won numerous prizes for his short stories as well as his novels.   Professor Davies lives in Ann Arbor with his wife and son.  \n\nPreregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the lecture will be e-mailed prior to the event.

It brings us into the cloistered 19th-century world of two loving\, devout Lutheran sisters and tells us how they and their fractured community reluctantly\, then completely embrace Babette\, a mysterious French refugee. But when Babette\, much to the community's shock\, sacrifices all she has to throw a lavish dinner party\, the dinner guests inexplicably and providentially experience radical\, infinite grace. Babette's sumptuous feast is more than a meal - it is an act of supreme artistry that invites an abundant experience of forgiveness and transforms the entire community. Through Babette's Feast\, we learn how embracing the stranger\, and embracing Christ in them\, can change a community for the better.

SUMMARY:Performance:Linden Thoburn w/sg Annie Capps
DESCRIPTION:As an explorer\, Linden Thoburn searches every corner of her soul to find life’s true meaning. The Brighton country-folk singer-songwriter deeply mines the head and the heart through a majestic journey of self-discovery on her latest album\, “Scarecrow.” Thoburn’s Americana odyssey weaves through sunbaked rows\, bitter winds\, mountain tops\, shadow-hearted plains and the Goodnight-Loving Trail in ten heartfelt tracks of courage\, growth and gratitude. “It’s an album about personal journeys – reflective and physical. For me\, all the album’s songs came from deep internal explorations\, and they represent the struggles to find meaning and to resolve my confusion and find ground in the rapidly-changing U.S.\,” Thoburn says. “Scarecrow” features contributions from a stellar cast of Michigan musicians\, including Jim Bizer (acoustic guitar)\, Sara Gibson (cello)\, Erin Zindle (violin)\, Drew Howard (banjo\, resonator\, pedal steel)\, Aaron Markovitz (mandolin\, octave mandolin) and Peter “Madcat” Ruth (acoustic and electric bass\, piano). Songwriter Annie Capps is special guest.

SUMMARY:Performance:Cold Tone Harvest
DESCRIPTION:Bonded together by the members' common interest in a musically historical and honest sound\, Cold Tone Harvest formed in southeast Michigan in late 2008. The band comprises singer/songwriter Andrew Sigworth\, bassist Ozzie Andrews\, drummer/banjo player Brian Williams\, and guitarist Anthony Pace. Their union came to fruition much like the music itself did: formulated with patience and mixed with a rugged determination.\n\nThe paradoxical name proves itself uncannily fitting\, as expertly delivered Americana tropes and soundscapes gradually crack at the seams\, revealing a shimmering sliver of something else entirely. Country-infused melodies and rhythms lace with a lush ambience often reserved for the loneliest of instrumental compositions. Rich and rugged baritone vocals\, clearly suited to whiskey songs and heartache anthems\, instead turn their howls and growls towards brave and poetic lyric territory rarely found in a common folk or bluegrass outings.\n\nCold Tone Harvest rides a rare and beautiful line\, delivering a wall of sound that will grab the ear of the rowdiest music festival enthusiasts\, partnered with the textual eloquence and deeply layered arrangement that begs for solitary repeat listens.

SUMMARY:Performance:Glenn Tilbrook
DESCRIPTION:Glenn Tilbrook created irresistible hooks and delectable melodies as part of the duo Squeeze in the 1980s\, and all the beauty is present in abundance in the music he's made as a solo artist. His addictive solo debut\, “The Incomplete Glenn Tilbrook\,” has been followed by nearly a dozen more releases\, each brimming with the arch-romantic quality that made (and makes) Squeeze such a delight. Glenn’s shows mix new material with Squeeze classics like \"Tempted\" and \"Pulling Mussels (from the Shell)\,\" and in solo shows he's been known to lead the singing-along audience completely out of the building and into the parking lot. Glenn comes to Michigan with a new release\, “Happy Ending.”

SUMMARY:Performance:Black Jake & The Carnies
DESCRIPTION:Black Jake & the Carnies set fierce murder ballads\, dark warnings\, and a certain tough rust-belt revivalism to the beat of an old-time string band. This octet offers a unique blend of Americana\, bluegrass\, and punk\, as well as a stage show that can be very unpredictable (you may be asked to start digging with the aim of finding where Jimmy Hoffa is buried).\n\nSteve Leggett of the All Music Guide writes that Black Jake plays \"a kind of raucous acoustic Americana that tosses post-modern Appalachian murder ballads\, Irish drinking songs\, skewed\, twisted love songs and general cautionary tales into a stylistic blender that has them sounding like nothing so much as a maverick\, hopped-up punk polka band in full 21st-century everything-fits jug band mode\"—and that just about covers it!\n\nThe Carnies are from Ypsilanti\, but they've performed at Nashville's Music City Roots and beyond\, and their dark legend is spreading.

SUMMARY:Performance:Josh Ritter
DESCRIPTION:The Ark helped spread Josh Ritter’s name among Michigan audiences when he made a standout performance at the Ann Arbor Folk Festival in 2003\, and we’re proud that we\, along with Emmylou Harris and Paste magazine\, which named Josh one of the 100 greatest living songwriters in 2006\, spotted this monster talent in the making. Josh has gone on to record a dozen albums\, write a book\, tour with Jason Isbell\, and play much larger halls than The Ark. So it’s very special to us to invite Josh to perform at The Ark’s 2022 Fall Fundraiser\, solo\, in a rare small club appearance. He’s an entrancing performer\, a true master of the songwriter’s art.\n\n---\n\nJosh writes:\n\nHi everyone! I don’t know about you\, but for me this last year has had more than its fair share of long nights of the soul. Whether in song or prose or one of those weird creatures between\, I’ve returned to stories over and over again for sustenance and counsel and forgetting. I’ve also found myself dreaming of touring again\, being on stage\, performing my songs – my stories – like I did for so long before the world turned on its head. I’ve lived in those memories when I couldn’t be on stage in any other way. \n\nNow I get the chance to perform again. I’m so excited I almost can’t contain it. I want my first set of shows in a year and a half to be in places that will allow me sing some of the stranger\, quieter\, more narrative songs that I may not always get to at a rock show. I want the venues to be special and beautiful\; I want laughter and music and stories that are true even if they’re unreal. Finally\, I want to perform again\, stomp the dust off\, see what new appendages and teeth and claws have grown from this time in the wilderness\, see what joy can come from sorrow and what tears can come from joy. \n\nI’m so excited to see you again.\n\nRock on\,\nJosh

SUMMARY:Performance:BLKBOK
DESCRIPTION:BLKBOK\, Neo Classical Piano Renegade & Culture Innovator\, returns home\, as part of his Mixtapes & Counterpoint 2022 Tour. BLKBOK's live\, high-energy performance is culturally reflective and seeks to entertain with a live piano based performance like nothing you have ever seen before. BLKBOK's vision is to illuminate awareness for all\, encouraging dialogue and counterpoint in the way we perceive ourselves and the world we live in together.\n\nBorn and raised in Detroit’s inner-city\, BLKBOK (born Charles Wilson III)\, grew up in a music-filled house and by the time he was 8\, BLKBOK was an acclaimed piano prodigy\, winning statewide accolades and college-level competitions. When it came to music\, most of the kids he grew up with pursued hip-hop\, adopting rap names. However\, it’s no coincidence that Charles chose the name BLKBOK\, which echoes that of one of the greatest pianists and composers of all time. The tag is also an apt reflection of the elements that have contributed to the artist’s identity and symbolizes his colorful journey from pop and hip-hop culture to his critically acclaimed\, neo-classical debut album Black Book\, and various Mixtape projects and collaborations. \n\nBLKBOK’s critically-acclaimed debut album Black Book\, served as a founding cornerstone at the very first Juneteenth Foundation’s Freedom Concert and was released as a DLUX Edition this June and features original compositions Kendrick+Karine\, The Hustle Is Real and November 7th\, 2020. His first Mixtape release\, CVRART\, and Mixtape project Angels Watching Over Me\, with world-renowned tenor Lawrence Brownlee\, illustrate the innovative and disruptive musical landscape that is BLKBOK. His original composition “Stars (Ad Astra)” was performed as the first-ever piano duet from Space in 2022.\n\n \"An extraordinary artist\" - WDET\n\n\"A Neo-Classical Masterpiece\" - Atwood Magazine\n\n\"Inspiring instrumentalists everywhere\" - Forbes

SUMMARY:Performance:Sons of the East
DESCRIPTION:Australian band Sons of the East is an under-the-radar success story\, racking up millions of streams and selling out shows across Europe and Australia without ever straying from their independent roots. And they built that impressive following through their incredible and energetic live shows\, paired with a serious handful of exceptional original songs. So far the band has racked up more than 160 million streams on Spotify\, 12 million streams on Apple Music and 40 million YouTube plays from around the world. The year 2022 has been a breakthrough for Sons of the East\, with international touring leading up to the release of the group’s debut album. Says Vinyl Garden: “What we like about this band is their Australian twist and contemporary take on the more traditional Folk music style ... But ultimately what really makes this band shine is their stage presence (they are a must see live).”\n---\nProof of COVID vaccination required for entry.

SUMMARY:Performance:Rodney Crowell
DESCRIPTION:Rodney Crowell is one of country music's most successful songwriters\, but the deadly seriousness in his music was always there for those with ears to hear. \"Dad drove a stock car to an early death / All I remember was a drunk man's breath\,\" sang Waylon Jennings as he took Crowell's \"Ain't Living Long Like This\" to the top of the charts. Since the turn of the millennium\, Crowell has been on a roll\, releasing personal\, ambitious albums to wide critical acclaim. With his autobiographical masterpiece \"The Houston Kid\,\" he took an unflinching look at his own down-and-out upbringing\, and he comes to The Ark with a new self-curated book of lyrics\, “Word for Word”—come and pick up a copy!\n---\nProof of COVID vaccination required for entry.

SUMMARY:Performance:Rachael Yamagata | Opener: Sandy Bell
DESCRIPTION:Says the Associated Press: ”Along with the badassery\, Yamagata brings a world-weary passion to her singing. Her voice is a soul-baring\, sultry instrument that commands center stage at all times. She has that deliberate\, I’ll-sing-the-note-when-I’m-ready pacing that helped make Amy Winehouse great\, and before her Billie Holliday.” Rachael has released ten albums\, with each and every one of them containing surprises. Her songs are all over television soundtracks\, and she has collaborated with artists as diverse as Jason Mraz\, Rhett Miller\, Bright Eyes\, Ryan Adams\, Toots and the Maytals\, and Ray Lamontagne. Spending some years in Chicago’s competitive songwriting scene\, Rachael is now based in Woodstock\, New York.\n\n---\n\nOpening for Rachael is songwriter/musician Sandy Bell. Bell has moved through a vibrant and textured musical constellation\, playing most notably with the late but eternally brilliant Jeff Buckley as well as singing on the Bat for Lashes album “The Bride.” Bell’s debut solo album\, “When I Leave Ohio\,” was hailed by Stereo Embers Magazine as “…beautiful\, resonant work that’s stark and painful—Bell’s songs have crushing\, emotional exactitude that is nothing short of staggering.” Her new album is titled “Entelechy.” Music journalist Alex Green found “Entelechy” to be “filled with stirring melancholy and musical grace\,” an album that “explores the geometry of both musical form and sorrow\, while the cathartic transmutation of grief into promise will take you somewhere between the worlds of Harry Nilsson and Kate Bush.”

SUMMARY:Performance:Ryan Montbleau
DESCRIPTION:For as long as he can remember\, Ryan Montbleau’s been a seeker. From the jungles of Peru to the volcanoes of Hawaii\, from the beaches of Costa Rica to the streets of Brooklyn\, from the backseat of a 16-passenger van to backstage at Carnegie Hall\, the acclaimed singer/songwriter has spent much of his life crisscrossing the globe on a perpetual search for meaning\, purpose\, and understanding. It’s a quest that’s guided him both personally and professionally over the years\, one that’s come to define not only his music\, but his very sense of self. \n\nAnd yet\, listening to Ryan’s ambitious new multi-part album\, Wood\, Fire\, Water\, and Air\, there is a profound sense of satisfaction in sitting still\, a recognition that perhaps all those spiritual treasures he’s been chasing for so long were closer than he thought.\n\n“My whole adult life has been this journey of trying to figure out where home is\,” Ryan reflects. “I think I’ve finally found it.”\n\nRolling out across four distinct EPs\, Wood\, Fire\, Water\, and Air marks Ryan’s first studio release since putting down permanent roots in Burlington\, Vermont\, where he recently purchased a house after more than two decades of living on the road.

SUMMARY:Performance:Rollie Tussing Trio
DESCRIPTION:Award-winning guitarist\, educator\, and performer Rollie Tussing makes a raggedy brand of music informed by the era of 78 rpm records\, juke joints\, and street performers. He composes a lot of his own songs and has a knack for reworking an old obscure tune\, finding beauty in the forgotten scratches\, pops and grooves of his esoteric record collection. After winning the National Slide Guitar Competition in 2001 Rollie moved with his wife to Portland\, Oregon. He spent the next decade touring\, performing\, writing songs and playing with some of the best regional and touring musicians the West Coast offered. In 2011 with their second child on the way\, Rollie and his wife decided to relocate to the Midwest to be closer to family and to tap into the artistic resources in the nation's midsection. There’s fingerstyle guitar\, forgotten old music\, and great old songs—a fabulous evening all around.

SUMMARY:Performance:Chris Pureka
DESCRIPTION:It’s rare for an artist to bridge the divide between critical acclaim and dedicated fan engagement. Chris Pureka is a Portland-based singer-songwriter whose body of work has resonated deeply with these seemingly disparate milieus. Her music has straddled the folk\, Americana and indie rock genres over the course of her 20 year career\, and over that time\, her bold vulnerability in processing the intimacies of life in song has struck a chord with those listeners who crave authenticity and depth.\n\nChris’s elegant emotionality as a vocalist and her flair as a lyricist have garnered her favorable comparisons to Chan Marshall\, Bruce Springsteen\, and Patty Griffin. Over many years of touring on both sides of the Atlantic\, she has shared the stage with such diverse and esteemed artists as The Lumineers\, Gregory Alan Isakov\, The Cowboy Junkies\, Haley Heynderickx\, and Ani DiFranco. She has had her songs featured on such television shows as Brothers and Sisters\, Covert Affairs and Shameless\, as well as a song featured in the Sundance featured indie film\, The Royal Road. Along the way\, Chris has remained truly independent\, selling nearly 50\,000 albums through her own label\, Sad Rabbit Records.

DESCRIPTION:It happens in the middle of Michigan in the heart of December. Since 2007\, it has become a yearly tradition for The Ragbirds to present this unique family-friendly holiday show called Ebird & Friends. The songs and artists change from year to year\, but the spirit of the event is community\, the soul is creativity and the show is unforgettable. \"Ebird\"is Erin Zindle\, lead singer\, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist of The Ragbirds. Erin's budding childhood love of music was sparked at Christmastime. The holidays were the one time each year that the entire Zindle family gathered to make music together\, and that early communal experience of music took deep roots. Fiddles\, horns\, bagpipes\, guitars\, and instruments from all over the world will be sounding their voices together in harmony. Expect to be entertained\, surprised\, cheered\, and warmed by this collaborative artistic performance of new and old songs\, including Ragbirds' original songs inspired by the holiday. This show has become a phenomenon—it's up to four presentations this year for its 15th anniversary\, and it shows no signs of slowing down.

SUMMARY:Performance:15th Annual Ebird & Friends Holiday Show
DESCRIPTION:It happens in the middle of Michigan in the heart of December. Since 2007\, it has become a yearly tradition for The Ragbirds to present this unique family-friendly holiday show called Ebird & Friends. The songs and artists change from year to year\, but the spirit of the event is community\, the soul is creativity and the show is unforgettable. \"Ebird\"is Erin Zindle\, lead singer\, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist of The Ragbirds. Erin's budding childhood love of music was sparked at Christmastime. The holidays were the one time each year that the entire Zindle family gathered to make music together\, and that early communal experience of music took deep roots. Fiddles\, horns\, bagpipes\, guitars\, and instruments from all over the world will be sounding their voices together in harmony. Expect to be entertained\, surprised\, cheered\, and warmed by this collaborative artistic performance of new and old songs\, including Ragbirds' original songs inspired by the holiday. This show has become a phenomenon—it's up to four presentations this year for its 15th anniversary\, and it shows no signs of slowing down.

SUMMARY:Performance:Indecent
DESCRIPTION:Indecent is a one-act play recounting the controversy surrounding the play \"The God of Vengeance\" and following it from its productions in Europe to its 1923 Broadway production\, during which the cast was arrested on charges of indecency because of the lesbian love story depicted in the show. Indecent is a story of Jewishness\, queerness\, love\, artistic freedom\, homophobia\, the dying Yiddish language and culture\, the stories we've lost\, and the need to create theatre and beauty even in the worst of times.

SUMMARY:Performance:Nefesh Mountain
DESCRIPTION:Yes\, Nefesh Mountain is a bluegrass band. Yes\, some of their lyrics are sung in Hebrew. No\, it isn’t a gimmick or a parody. And\, no\, it’s not klezmer music. Now that we’ve got that straight\, let’s hear Nefesh Mountain for what it really is: a soulful\, euphoric\, folk-flavored outpouring of hope and joy\, propelled by the kind of crisp\, crystalline picking that gives lyrics wings. It’s a distinctively Nefesh Mountain sound. Doni Zasloff and Eric Lindberg have attracted high-powered musicians on their recordings\, including Sam Bush\, Jerry Douglas\, Tony Trischka\, and David Grier\, aided by Nefesh Mountain’s touring band members\, Alan Grubner on fiddle and Tim Kiah on bass. A dazzling picker in his own right\, Lindberg provides lead guitar and banjo throughout\, while Zasloff soars with some of the most melodic\, incisive and soul-stirring vocals we’ve heard since Mary Travers first took the spotlight. Come hear the band Rolling Stone called “a master class in string music”!

SUMMARY:Performance:Vienna Teng
DESCRIPTION:“I’ve been in a long-distance relationship with music for the past several years\,” jokes songwriter Vienna Teng. “Now we’re talking about moving in together again.\" Long-distance\, perhaps\, but long-running. In 2002\, Vienna released her debut album Waking Hour\, landing her on NPR’s Weekend Edition\, The Late Show with David Letterman\, and the top of Amazon’s music charts. Four more albums followed\, most recently Aims in 2013\, which became the first album to win four Independent Music Awards\; she also composed the music for The Fourth Messenger by playwright Tanya Shaffer\, which premiered in 2013. Along with Vienna’s captivating live performances and thoughtful online presence\, her work has built a devoted following across generations as well as continents.\n\nStill\, other pursuits have always beckoned. A computer science major before she was a recording artist\, Vienna is a nerd at heart\, as comfortable in spreadsheets as the spotlight. She returned to academia in 2010 to study environmental sustainability\, which led to a new career working on climate change\, energy and waste issues. She also became a “bonus parent” to her partner’s two kids\, and in early 2020 welcomed a newborn addition to the family - just in time for pandemic lockdown. That year was eye-opening for her. “So much of what I’d taken for granted my whole life just broke wide open\,” she says. “I learned a lot about what it means to hold two truths in your head at the same time\, as the saying goes. Things can be both dire and full of possibility. Both kindness and fierceness are so very necessary.” \n\nShe wondered: what if two songs\, with seemingly contradictory perspectives\, were written so they would “mash up” together into a duet? That fall - sometimes while breastfeeding - Vienna composed a pair of songs called “We’ve Got You”: one about being a beacon to your community\, the other about leaning on that community in your darkest hour. It’s some of the most intricate and impassioned songwriting she's ever done\, and when she performed it in a live-streamed concert that December\, the audience response was electric.\n\nFittingly for a piece about replenishment and connection\, “We’ve Got You” marks the start of a new chapter for Vienna. “I’ve found a rabbit hole I’m excited to go down further\,” she says. Her long-distance phase with music is over\; let the reunion begin.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Music of Fela Kuti Comes to Life!
DESCRIPTION:Doubling as a platform for activism\, the music of Fela Kuti was a unique blend of jazz\, funk\, and African influences. Performed by an African big-band of unusual instrumentation\, Fela’s music rolled out in an extended\, hypnotic fashion. His political vocals fell somewhere between melody and musical speech. While the Afrobeat music of Nigeria’s Fela Kuti remains singularly unique\, it typically fails to gain deserved attention in the world of modern-day performance.\n \nJoin us for a rare opportunity to hear this music authentically reproduced. Originally sponsored by the University of Michigan “MCube” initiative\, this performance unites UofM faculty & musicians from the Flint and Ann Arbor campuses with local professionals. The project\, led by Brian DiBlassio\, is based on note-for-note transcriptions of Fela’s work\, with our featured artist from Cincinnati\, Baoku Moses\, performing the role of Fela. Ensemble members include trumpeter Ingrid Racine\, tenor saxophonist Andrew Bishop\, baritone saxophonist Alex Harding\, guitarist Ray Ureña\, bassist Ben Rolston\, percussionist Jonathan Ovalle\, conga player Owl DiBlassio\, and Brian DiBlassio on keyboards.

SUMMARY:Performance:Joshua Davis // Luke Winslow King
DESCRIPTION:When Joshua Davis performed on NBC’s “The Voice\,” America at-large finally discovered what Michiganders have known for more than two decades. This amazing artist connects with a live audience\, nourishes their souls and feeds off of their love. Seeing him live has always revealed his core\, his essence. Joshua comes to Michigan with a new release\, “Live at the Robin\,” which is his first live solo acoustic release\, and the intimate environment of the theater was well suited for catching him in his element. Joshua remains a quintessentially Michigan guy\, drawing his inspiration from the rough-and-tumble streets of Motown to the arboreal Upper Peninsula. The mitten is his muse. “I’ve wanted to make this album for years”\, says Joshua. “And I’m so excited to share it. I love playing solo shows. It allows me the freedom to dig deep into my songs and really be in the moment with the audience.”\n\nLuke Winslow-King is a New Orleans–based guitarist\, singer\, composer\, producer\, and songwriter. His work is an eclectic mix that combines Mississippi Delta blues\, folk music\, traditional jazz\, and roots rock and roll. His alchemical songs blend contemporary ideas with styles from bygone eras producing a sound that is rustic and urbane\, elegant and entirely his own. It is a sound that looks to the past to move to the future. This\, along with his burgundy voice\, dapper attire and versatile guitar playing\, have earned him a reputation as a musician who delivers soulfully energetic and dynamic performances.

SUMMARY:Performance:Robert Jones & Matt Watroba
DESCRIPTION:Ever since their first meeting\, over 20 years ago\, Robert Jones and Matt Watroba have been musical partners. Their relationship started when they hosted back-to-back radio shows on WDET-FM\, Detroit. Later on they started performing together and in doing so discovered a friendship based on mutual respect and a love for traditional American music. For Matt and Robert\, American roots music (folk\, blues\, spirituals\, work songs\, chants\, etc.) is music that matters. This is the music that America and the world have in common.  It is music that reflects history\, social change\, migration\, hopes and dreams. It is music that is rich and diverse\, direct and powerful. This year's program is a celebration of the life and musical legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr.

SUMMARY:Performance:Djangophonique // Harmonious Wail
DESCRIPTION:Djangophonique is a virtuosic\, instrumentally driven quartet led by guitar player Andrew Brown. A true disciple of the style\, Andrew has spent countless hours immersing himself in the language of Django Reinhardt’s jazz manouche\, and he’s joined on stage by bandmates that match his skill and passion for the material. The result is a sound that’s unmistakable to fans of the music\, and alluring to the uninitiated—a sound that can bring the lively energy of a Parisian dance hall to the quietest listening room or captivate a buzzing festival audience with a shimmering ballad. With respect for the tradition and a fearless creativity that bends the conventions of the style\, Djangophonique is keeping the Hot Club of France revival alive and well. Harmonious Wail\, from Madison\, Wisconsin\, opens the show with Americana-infused gypsy jazz.

SUMMARY:Performance:Heywood Banks
DESCRIPTION:Heywood Banks is simply one-of-a-kind\, almost impossible to describe\, with a style his very own. Equal parts genius and buffoon\, this songwriter-comic-singer-poet-musician from Flint has become a cult hero and a pop icon\, with a show that appeals to college students\, stoners\, businessmen\, yuppies\, rednecks\, punks\, kids\, or your grandmother. Heywood intersperses his humorous observations of life with twisted\, inventive\, bizarre songs\, sung and played in a variety of styles\, from folk\, to country to rock to pop\, and way beyond. You have to be pretty smart to get Heywood at his deepest level (he demands a high level of pop culture literacy)\, but you can also enjoy him just for his vocal style impersonations\, expert musicianship and just plain silliness. But why trust our opinions? Come and see for yourself!

The 21st century has thus far witnessed mass incarceration\, illegal detentions\, voter suppression\, gun violence\, and a crackdown on civil liberties. Similar to past eras\, grassroot movements are being led by Black and Indigenous communities to advocate for justice.\n\nAs we navigate the social and political landscape of a dynamic world\, where do questions of privacy\, personal freedoms\, and the impacts of globalization intersect?

SUMMARY:Performance:Neal Francis with Danielle Ponder
DESCRIPTION:On his new album\, “In Plain Sight\,” Neal Francis offers up a body of work both strangely enchanted and painfully self-aware\, unfolding in songs sparked from Greek myths and frenzied dreams and late-night drives in the depths of summer delirium. True to its charmed complexity\, the singer/songwriter/pianist’s second full-length came to life over the course of a tumultuous year spent living in a possibly haunted church in Chicago. The result: a portrait of profound upheaval and weary resilience\, presented in a kaleidoscopic sound that’s endlessly absorbing. \n\nBravery can take many forms. For Danielle Ponder it took the shape of a leap of faith: leaving her successful day job working in the public defender’s office in her hometown of Rochester (New York) to devote herself full-time to sharing her powerful voice with the world. The singer-songwriter’s mesmerizing eight-song debut\, “Some of Us Are Brave\,” reinforces that her faith was not misplaced\, and her leap has been rewarded with a safe landing. Written and recorded over three years\, the album is a refreshingly original\, shiver-inducing mix of pop\, R&B\, blues\, rock\, and moody trip-hop topped by Danielle’s celestial voice— an instrument that can plumb melancholy depths with a heartsick murmur and scrape the sky with hurricane force wails.

SUMMARY:Performance:Buffalo Nichols
DESCRIPTION:Since his earliest infatuations with guitar\, Carl “Buffalo” Nichols has asked himself the same question: How can I bring the blues of the past into the future? After cutting his teeth between a Baptist church and bars in Milwaukee\, it was a globetrotting trip through West Africa and Europe during a creative down period that began to reveal the answer. He heard jazz in Ukraine\, blues from expat African Americans in Berlin. “Part of my intent\, making myself more comfortable with this release\, is putting more Black stories into the genres of folk and blues\,” guitarist\, songwriter\, and vocalist Buffalo Nichols explains. “Listening to this record\, I want more Black people to hear themselves in this music that is truly theirs.” That desire is embodied in his self-titled debut album\, composed largely of demos and studio sessions recorded between Wisconsin and Texas\, and it marks a new stage of the blues.

DESCRIPTION:Mustard’s Retreat has always sung the songs they enjoyed and cared about\, regardless of the trends of the music industry and pop culture. They are committed to simply being themselves\, not chasing fame or brass rings\, while delighting in and connecting with their audiences as if they were family. The honesty of what they present onstage and the extensive body of outstanding original songs and recordings all contribute to a fiercely loyal audience that continues to grow. “Music to cure what ails you” was how one reviewer in the 1970s described them\, and that is as true now as it was then.\n\nThey’ve traveled more than a million miles and performed more than 6\,000 shows\, from pig roasts and pool parties to Lincoln Center Out of Doors\, The Barns at Wolftrap and the Kennedy’s Center’s Millennium Stage. They’ve recently begun referring to their career and touring as “Defiantly Hopeful.” In part due to their long career\, but more as a statement about what the music has meant to them.\n\n“Folk music is\, at its heart\, defiantly hopeful!” founder David Tamulevich says. “We came of age in the 60s\, at the confluence of Pete Seeger\, Peter\, Paul & Mary\, Bob Dylan and the singer/songwriter revolution. We care much more about what we do and stand for and finding that common ground with our audiences\, than fame or money: this is our community of choice\, and we consider ourselves so fortunate to be here.”\n\nTonight’s show features the Mustard’s Retreat 2.0 duo of Tamulevich and Libby Glover\, who come to The Ark with a new album\, “By Request.”

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MCAIM Grad Seminar: Anisotropic Active Brownian Particle with a Fluctuating Propulsion Force
DESCRIPTION:The active Brownian particle (ABP) model describes a swimmer\, synthetic or living\, whose direction of swimming is a Brownian motion. The swimming is due to a propulsion force\, and the fluctuations are typically thermal in origin. We present a 2D model where the fluctuations arise from nonthermal noise in a propelling force acting at a single point\, such as that due to a flagellum. We take the overdamped limit and find several modifications to the traditional ABP model. Since the fluctuating force causes a fluctuating torque\, the diffusion tensor describing the process has a coupling between translational and rotational degrees of freedom. An anisotropic particle also exhibits a noise-induced drift. We show that these effects have measurable consequences for the long-time diffusivity of active particles\, in particular adding a contribution that is independent of where the force acts. This is joint work with Prof. Jean-Luc Thiffeault.

After getting in a serious car accident in 2015\, there has been a noticeable shift toward love\, light\, and hope in her music\, while still maintaining a deep connection with the things that are lost and those that are fading. Members of The Big Beautiful include Matt Jones (drums)\, Ryan Gimpert (guitar and pedal steel)\, Carol Catherine Gray (fiddle\, vocals\, tambo)\, and Jim Roll (bass). Misty Lyn & The Big Beautiful come to The Ark with a new release\, “The Narrows.”

SUMMARY:Performance:Crys Matthews
DESCRIPTION:Ask about the new generation of social justice music-makers\, and Crys Matthews will be mentioned. A southeastern North Carolina native who now calls Washington\, D.C.\, home\, Crys has been compared to everyone from Toshi Reagon to Tracy Chapman and Ruthie Foster. Equally at home in an acoustic listening room as she is on stage at large music festivals\, Crys quickly gathered a loyal following on the East Coast playing such prestigious venues as the Sundance Film Festival\, The Birchmere\, The Hamilton\, and Jammin’ Java. A prolific lyricist\, Crys blends Americana\, folk\, jazz\, blues\, bluegrass\, and funk into a bold\, complex performance steeped in traditional melodies punctuated by honest\, original lyrics. “I believe in hope\,” Matthews says of her latest album\, “Changemakers.” “As a social-justice songwriter\, it is my duty to keep breathing that hope and encouragement into the people who listen to my music.” And\, from the title track to the last track\, “Changemakers” does just that all while tackling some heavy topics like immigration\, the opioid crisis\, Black Lives Matter\, and gun safety to name a few.

SUMMARY:Performance:Bill Frisell
DESCRIPTION:Bill Frisell can be a hard musician to classify. You'll find him in the jazz bins (or at the jazz link)\, and he's been called the most brilliant jazz guitarist since Wes Montgomery. But he's the kind of jazz musician who looks outward to other music\, and his guitar can do just about anything\, from any genre. It can approximate the sound of a country steel guitar\, can wail the blues\, can break new ground in music like Jimi Hendrix did. And he plays his own compositions\, each one intricately woven into the capabilities of his instrument. As a collaborator\, Bill Frisell is one of the most sought-after voices in contemporary guitar. His Ark shows have an intimacy that's hard to find at his dates in larger cities. The New York Times sums it up: \"It's hard to find a more fruitful meditation on American music than in the compositions of guitarist Bill Frisell.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Chris Knight
DESCRIPTION:“It’s hard to know how people are gonna react\,” Chris Knight says of “Almost Daylight\,” his ninth album and first new recording in over seven years. “I’ve written songs about a lot of different things going all the way back to my first record\, and some folks still think ‘somebody kills somebody’ is all I write about. Maybe that’s why I was bound and determined to get these particular songs on this album. If people like them\, then we’ll be fine. But I wasn’t gonna do it any other way.” For the past 20 years\, Chris Knight has only made music his own way. He’s released eight acclaimed albums\, played thousands of electrifying live shows and built generations of fervent fans from Texas honky-tonks to Manhattan rock clubs. He’s been hailed as “the last of a dying breed...a taciturn loner with an acoustic guitar and a college degree” (The New York Times) and “a storyteller in the best traditions of Mellencamp and Springsteen” (USA Today). Bottom line\, he’s hard-earned his reputation as one of America’s most uncompromising and respected singer/songwriters. And now with “Almost Daylight\,” Knight delivers the most powerful – and unexpected – music of his career.

SUMMARY:Performance:Enter the Haggis
DESCRIPTION:A haggis is a tasty Scottish dish consisting of sheep heart\, liver\, and lungs\, mixed with oatmeal\, onion\, suet\, and spices\, and then boiled inside the sheep's stomach. The Canadian-Scots band Enter the Haggis (bagpiper Craig Downie is from Scotland) has just about as much variety in their style\, a high-speed collision of Celtic music\, rock\, bluegrass\, funk\, and world music. An Enter the Haggis live show is a musical feast—dynamic and emotionally uplifting. Alternating between upbeat rock numbers with sing-along choruses and slower\, more introspective alt pop songs\, the band plays progressive and lyrically driven music that's strongly rooted in Celtic tradition—from the storytelling to the bagpipes. Enter the Haggis returns to The Ark with a new album\, “The Archer’s Parade.”

SUMMARY:Performance:Masters of Hawaiian Music
DESCRIPTION:Three masters\, featured regularly at Maui’s renowned “Slack Key Show®” share the uniquely Hawaiian styles of slack key guitar and ‘ukulele\, with origins in the early 19th century when Portuguese immigrants introduced the ‘ukulele to Hawai‘i and Mexican cowboys brought guitars along with their ranching knowledge. Ever since\, Hawaiians have made these instruments their own. Four-time Grammy-winner and master slack key guitarist George Kahumoku Jr.\, known as “Hawai‘i’s Renaissance Man\,” is a multiple NaHōkū Hanohano (Hawaiian Grammy) Award winner\, a vocalist\, storyteller\, songwriter\, and author\, teacher\, sculptor\, farmer\, and chef\, and honored with a Hawai‘i Academy of Recording Arts 2022 Lifetime Achievement Award. “There’s something quite magical...about the evocative tones of a trusty ‘ukulele\,” says the Honolulu Star-Advertiser. Slack key guitarist\, lap steel guitarist\, vocalist\, songwriter\, and producer Sonny Lim developed his guitar and vocal styles performing with his famous Lim Family of the Big Island. He was also one of the early members of the renowned Makaha Sons of Ni‘ihau for whom he played lap steel guitar beginning at age 15. He performed on the first Grammy-winning CD in Hawaiian music\, and has won multiple Na Hoku Awards on his solo CDs. ‘Ukulele virtuoso Herb Ohta Jr.’s natural talent\, knowledge\, technique\, and speed are unsurpassed. Herb’s versatility and ability to adapt to the changing times will captivate you\, the listener\, and transport you. Herb Ohta Jr. is the undisputed master 'ukulele instrumentalist of his generation.

SUMMARY:Performance:Ron Sexsmith
DESCRIPTION:With producer Mitchell Froom\, Ron Sexsmith released his self-titled label debut album in 1995. The melancholic tone and sparse acoustic arrangements of the album were met with an enthusiastic endorsement from Elvis Costello\, and the album was declared a critical success. In his Sept 7\, 1995 review for Rolling Stone\, Bud Scoppa wrote: “He just may be the most fluent balladeer to come along since Tim Hardin or Harry Nilsson.” Ron’s songwriting style evolved into a unique and timeless blend of classic pop\, contemporary folk\, and roots-rock idioms. He has built a steadfast reputation with critics and with some of his own songwriting heroes (Elton John\, Ray Davies\, John Prine\, Gordon Lightfoot\, Leonard Cohen and Paul McCartney) for his characteristically honest\, sensitive\, and enduring approach to the songwriting craft. Ron has a substantive cult following and an international touring career\, and his songs as well\, have been covered by the likes of Rod Stewart\, Nick Lowe\, Emmylou Harris\, Feist\, and Michael Bublé to name a few.

SUMMARY:Performance:Chuck Prophet & the Mission Express
DESCRIPTION:Since his neo-psychedelic Green On Red days\, Chuck Prophet has been turning out country\, folk\, blues\, and Brill Building classicism. His latest album\, \"The Land That Time Forgot\,\" is something different\, a weather vane picking up signals from outer space—or maybe from the Heartland. Priced out of his beloved hometown\, San Francisco\, Chuck found himself re-energized in upstate New York just a few miles from the Vermont border—and made a record that's something of a 21st-century exorcism. The songs inhabit a world where a \"Fast Kid\" might be on the run from the truant officer or a handsy boss ... or the Immigration Service. These are love songs that turn political on a dime (\"Love Doesn't Come from the Barrel of a Gun\")\, and melodic hallucinations about kicking back in the Oval Office after hours \"talking to my baby\, saying baby\, let’s not fight.\" Where else besides a Chuck Prophet LP are songs going to come at you from both the Tenderloin and an English roundabout\, with stopovers in \"Nixonland\" and a lovestruck mirror on a Saturday night while a working man tries his \"Best Shirt On\"? There's more. Come and hear the latest from one of our favorite songwriters to have come out of the world of alternative rock.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Steel Wheels
DESCRIPTION:The Steel Wheels have captured audiences across the country with their heady brew of original soulful mountain music. Based in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia\, this dynamic band marries old-time musical traditions with their own innovative sound. Trent Wagler's weathered tenor is joined by bell-clear four-part harmonies inspired by a shared Mennonite heritage. Add top this lively and evocative fiddle\, grounded yet buoyant upright bass\, and signature mandolin style\, and it's no surprise that The Steel Wheels have conquered the Americana scene\, becoming festival favorites and selling out venues across the country. \"Americana music at its very best!\" says Larry Groce of \"Mountain Stage.\" The values portrayed in the band's music—devotion to roots\, community\, and family—are a way of life for The Steel Wheels\, and this is reflected in everything from production process and booking agency to merchandise and touring.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Microbial regulation of animal insulin signaling: From effects to mechanisms
DESCRIPTION:Location\nHybrid:\n\nIn-person: Medical Science 2\, Room 5623\n\nor \n\nVirtual: https://umich.zoom.us/j/91267980290 \n\nAbstract:\n\nMicrobiomes have been proposed to regulate many aspects of animal physiology and dysregulated microbiomes are known to contribute to numerous pathologies in humans. Despite these findings\, many of the molecular mechanisms by which bacteria can influence host physiology remain unknown. In an effort to identify novel molecular mechanisms by which bacteria can promote normal animal physiology my lab has established a high-throughput screening platform using the model animal C. elegans that can screen 1\,500 individual bacterial isolates per week for effects on animal physiology. Using this platform\, we have now identified multiple new species of bacteria that restore normal physiology in mutant models of human disease. Furthermore\, using transposon screening\, we have begun to uncover some of the mechanisms bacteria use to mediate these effects on animals. In the long-term we aim to test if such mechanisms are evolutionarily conserved in bacteria that colonize human microbiomes or if such mechanisms can be adapted to treat human disease.  \n\nBIOGRAPHY:\n\nDr. Nick Burton explores how chromatin remodeling contributes to human disease and how a person’s environment can impact their health and the health of their offspring. Recently\, this work has become particularly interested in the diverse ways microbes and the microbiome can influence these processes. He earned a B.S. in biology from University of Wisconsin-Madison\, where he worked in the labs of both Dr. Anna Huttenlocher and Dr. Scott Kennedy. He was then awarded a graduate research fellowship from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and earned a Ph.D. in biology from Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, where he studied under the mentorship of Dr. H. Robert Horvitz. As part of his dissertation work\, Dr. Burton sought to develop new paradigms to study the mechanisms by which parental environment regulates offspring physiology. In 2017\, he joined the Centre for Trophoblast Research at University of Cambridge as an independent Next Generation Fellow. While there\, he investigated how environmental bacteria can affect development\, physiology\, metabolism and neuronal function of individuals and their offspring. In 2021\, he joined Van Andel Institute as an assistant professor in the Department of Epigenetics.\n\n(Area of expertise: Epigenetics\, intergenerational inheritance\, C. elegans\, metabolism\, host-microbe interactions)

DESCRIPTION:A lot of people know Matt Nathanson for his 2007 hit \"Come On Get Higher\,\" but his career has only kept growing since then. He comes to Michigan with a new album\, “Boston Accent\,” whose stripped-down arrangements recall his beginnings as an acoustic troubadour. That’s all to the good for this show—it's not so common to hear him in a club The Ark's size. Matt has a unique sense of humor on stage that can get lost in larger venues\, and we’re looking forward to welcoming him back for the first time since the pandemic began. “I wanted to make a real singer/songwriter record this time. an ‘inspired by Cat Stevens\, Joni Mitchell\, Paul Simon\, Tom Petty kinda record … which is something I've been running away from since ‘Ernst’\,\" Matt says.

SUMMARY:Performance:Mark Erelli
DESCRIPTION:During a performance in summer 2020\, Mark Erelli looked down at his guitar neck and couldn’t believe what he saw. Or rather\, what he couldn’t see: his fingers on the frets. Soon after\, a diagnosis of retinitis pigmentosa (RP)\, a degenerative eye disease\, would bring some answers\, but it also yielded new questions. Does diminished eyesight correlate with lesser insight? Does your songwriting change when your perception of the world around you changes? These questions\, and Mark’s hunt for creative agency\, are at the heart of his new album\, “Lay Your Darkness Down.” In need of connection and catharsis\, he turned as he often did to songwriting. “The only way I could console myself was to know that I was still going to be able to have some creative agency\,” Mark says. “I could then bring whatever I was feeling or wanting to express into reality.” He began to craft songs with an intricate\, labored approach like never before. “It's much more like an oil painting\, where you're layering different tones and colors one at a time.”

SUMMARY:Fair / Festival:Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month 2023: Kick-Off (Opening Event)
DESCRIPTION:The Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month (AA&PI HM) at the University of Michigan invites you to celebrate our heritage month opening event! While the month is federally recognized in May\, the campus community celebrates the month from mid-March to mid-April to align with the academic calendar. To celebrate the Pacific Islander (or\, Oceanian) community\, we also host PI Heritage Week dedicated to the histories\, heritages\, communities\, and identities of the Oceanian community. \n\nThe kick-off is expected to take place at 6:30 pm on March 9th\, 2023 at the Michigan Room in the Michigan League. This year our theme is Generational Change and Healing. Our Planning Committee selected this theme after conversations around wanting to build toward unity and increase self-awareness within our communities.

SUMMARY:Performance:Vanessa Carlton
DESCRIPTION:Pitchfork called Vanessa Carlton's \"A Thousand Miles\" \"the pop song that launched a generation of piano lessons.\" But Vanessa has released five albums since that song came out in 2002\, each one revealing more of herself as a songwriter. “Always building up\, falling apart. Love is an art\,\" sings Vanessa Carlton on the title track of her new \"Love Is an Art.\" Like the recording itself\, the song is a meditation on the eternal seesaw that is human connection: the push\, the pull\, the balance\, the bottoming out. It's that constantly evolving nature of love Vanessa explores\, from romantic\, to parental\, to the friends that hold us up and the leaders that repeatedly let us down. And on tracks like the album's opener\, \"I Can't Stay the Same\,\" that also includes the relationship with the person staring back at us in the mirror\, each and every morning.

SUMMARY:Performance:Altan
DESCRIPTION:Altan\, named for Loch Altan in Ireland's County Donegal\, has arguably had a wider impact on audiences over the last 30 years than any other traditional Irish band. Their dynamic and warm live performances mix the most touching old Irish songs with hard-hitting reels and jigs\, and the band members' interest in and sheer enjoyment of each other musically is apparent even to audience members new to the Irish tradition. For the Irish music enthusiast\, Altan has a treasure trove of brilliant moves to offer: the mix of sounds from Donegal with outside influences\, the sheer virtuosity of the players\, the beauty\, delicate singing\, and down-to-earth charm of singer and fiddler Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh. Anywhere they go\, a concert by Altan is the Irish music event of the year\, and you can also pick up a copy of the group’s new book\, “The Tunes.”

SUMMARY:Performance:Darlingside
DESCRIPTION:If Darlingside’s first album\, “Birds Say” (2015)\, focused on the past through nostalgia\, and their second\, “Extralife” (2018)\, contemplated uncertain futures\, “Fish Pond Fish” stands firmly in the present\, looking at what’s here\, now. The band has created a natural history in song—taking us into gardens\, almond groves\, orchard rows\, down to the ocean floor and under stars.  \n\nDarlingside has long been praised for their harmonies and intelligent songwriting\, described by NPR as “exquisitely-arranged\, literary-minded\, baroque folk-pop\,” and their dynamic presence (crowded tightly together onstage) have made them a live-performance favorite. But this album showcases their broader storytelling abilities: nature is a looking glass\, the songs suggest\, with tracks like Ocean Bed\, Green + Evergreen\, Mountain + Sea\, and Crystal Caving making metaphors of their titles. An experience of nature is an experience of self\; an experience of self is one of natural change cut and complemented by stasis. \n\nThe band started studio recording “Fish Pond Fish” in late 2019\, when they moved into Tarquin Studios—the residential studio of Grammy Award-winning producer Peter Katis (Interpol\, The National). Living and working together brought them to their very early years under one roof in Hadley\, Massachusetts\, which had seeded the origins of their intimate collaboration. At Katis’s suggestion\, many components of the initial demos were preserved as layers in the produced tracks to retain the spirit of the initial recordings\, resulting in a collection of songs that is simultaneously the most bedroom-tracked and production-heavy full-length album that the band has yet released.

SUMMARY:Performance:Shawn Mullins
DESCRIPTION:Atlanta-born songwriter Shawn Mullins hit it big in the late 1990s with his “Soul’s Core” album\, and the all-over-the-radio singles “Lullaby” and “Beautiful Wreck.” He has never slowed down\, recording for Vanguard and other labels\, and performing many wonderful shows at The Ark. For the 20th anniversary of “Soul’s Core\,” Shawn will revisit the music and record two new versions of the album. He is calling this “Soul’s Core Revival.” This is not a remix or a remaster of the original\, but rather brand-new recordings with new arrangements of the songs—one album will be new stripped-down solo performances\, some on guitar\, some on piano or a cappella\, and the second will be a new studio recording with his full band\, Soul Carnival. Shawn’s special guests will be the duo of Larry Campbell & Teresa Williams\, whose new album\, “Live at Levon’s\,” was recorded at Levon Helm Studios.

SUMMARY:Performance:Sierra Hull
DESCRIPTION:Sierra Hull’s positively stellar career started early. That is\, if you consider a Grand Ole Opry debut at age ten\, called back to the famed stage a year later to perform with her hero and mentor Alison Krauss\, to be early. She played Carnegie Hall at 12\; at 13 signed with Rounder Records and issued her debut\, “Secrets\,” and garnered the first of many nominations for Mandolin Player of the Year. She played the Kennedy Center at 16 and the next year became the first bluegrass musician to receive a Presidential Scholarship at the Berklee College of Music. As a 20-year-old\, Hull played the White House. Sierra found inspiration in Krauss\, Ricky Skaggs\, and Sam Bush. And\, just as importantly\, she affirmed her own sense of identity as she continued to break new ground. “There’s a voice in the back of my head telling me to keep working\, to keep moving forward\,” Sierra says. “You have to keep progressing and introducing new things.”

DESCRIPTION:Karan Casey has long been one of the most innovative\, provocative\, and imitated voices in Irish folk music. Since embarking on her solo career after a stint as lead vocalist of the legendary band Solas\, she has released six solo albums\, a duo album\, and a children's album and has appeared on more than 50 albums in total. She has toured constantly throughout North America\, Europe and Japan\, performing solo\, with her own band and with many other artists\, often from outside the realm of Irish music.

Karan Casey\, says the Associated Press\, has \"a voice so beautiful\, it's almost impossible to avoid falling under her spell.\" This tour features Niamh Dunne on fiddle and vocals and Seán Óg Graham on guitar.

The album\, Paul says\, “features music from a man who is with the “right one” and is happy to be there.”

DESCRIPTION:After a dozen acclaimed albums\, virtuoso slide guitarist and bandleader Sonny Landreth found himself at an artistic crossroads. He wanted to finally create the full-length acoustic collection his fans had long requested.

DESCRIPTION:Tom Rush may not be as well known as some fellow veterans of Club 47 in 1960s Cambridge\, Massachusetts—people like Joan Baez\, Bob Dylan\, and Judy Collins. Yet he's second to none in terms of his impact down through the years. Tom’s three albums for Elektra in the 1960s were key founding documents of the entire singer-songwriter concept\, and he's influenced everyone from James Taylor to Garth Brooks. A performer with an abiding love of being in front of an audience\, Rush is a rib-tickling storyteller\, an expressive singer\, and a guitarist capable of real melancholy. He's a durable Ark favorite\, and\, says the Chicago Tribune\, he's \"probably the only man alive who should be allowed to sing Joni Mitchell songs.\" Tom Rush is\, in short\, folk royalty.

SUMMARY:Performance:Julian Taylor
DESCRIPTION:After 25 years in music\, building an unimpeachable reputation as a truly independent artist and entrepreneur\, Julian Taylor now owns his legacy. From the formative rock of Staggered Crossing to the genre fusion of Julian Taylor Band\, and now his revered work as a solo singer-songwriter\, Julian owns the right to it all and it couldn’t have happened at a better time. It’s rare in this era to see an artist build slowly and reach a new level of widespread acclaim two decades into a career. But Julian’s ethos\, work ethic\, and artistry has always had a timeless quality to it. And so\, he’s built things slowly in a DIY fashion\, withstanding highs and lows along the way\, ultimately reaching the peak of his powers with his latest solo work. Fans and critics have noticed\, granting Julian the Solo Artist of the Year honour at the Canadian Folk Music Awards (and nomination in the English Songwriter category)\, plus two Juno Award nominations in 2021\, as well as a Polaris Music Prize nomination. And that baritone voice—you have to hear it! Julian comes from Toronto with a new album\, “Beyond the Reservoir.”

SUMMARY:Performance:Keller Williams & Steve Poltz
DESCRIPTION:Gonzograss stalwart Keller Williams brings back his \"Shut the Folk Up and Listen\" series with one of his favorite folk gurus\, Steve Poltz. As Keller said in 2016 when he kicked off this seated evening of song and stories concept with Leo Kottke and again in 2018 with Martin Sexton\,  \"I take great pride in the evolution of my career. Between all the electronic toys and all the eclectic people that allow me into their worlds\, this set goes back to the beginning. Guitar and microphone. Loopless. I focus on material that can be enjoyed while sitting and listening.  Not necessarily slow songs but instrumentals and lyrics that are often overlooked when performed in venues with no seats. Don't get me wrong\, I enjoy those venues and look forward to hopefully playing them for the rest of my life. This set focuses on the listening rather than the dancing and the socializing.  You'll hear songs you recognize and a few you won't. I may even hit you up for a request.  All in all\, its a loose night in comfortable chairs with acoustic music. So shut the folk up and listen. Please.”  You can expect one set from each artist and a collaborative endeavor at the end.  A seated evening of song\, story and if all goes well\, laughter.

DESCRIPTION:Low-coordinate phosphorus(III) compounds have recently re-gained noticeable interest as the very peculiar stereoelectronic and coordination properties of such λ3σ2-species differ significantly from classical trivalent λ3σ3-phosphanes. These special characteristics can lead to interesting effects in more applied research fields\, such as homogeneous catalysis and material science.\n\nThis lecture will focus on the design and preparation of novel\, functionalized phosphinines\, the higher homologs of pyridines. Special emphasis will be paid to the modification of their electronic properties\, their coordination chemistry and reactivity. A novel route towards terminal cyaphido-complexes LnM-C≡P will also be highlighted.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GLNT: Some vanishing results for rational completed cohomology of Shimura varieties
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Let p be a prime number. Emerton introduced the p-adically completed cohomology\, which admits a representation of some p-adic group and can be thought of as some spaces of p-adic automorphic forms. In this talk\, I want to explain that for Shimura varieties\, sufficiently regular infinitesimal characters of the p-adic group can only show up in the middle degree of the completed cohomology. The proof is based on a very recent result of Bhatt on Kodaira vanishing in mixed characteristic and an old idea of using translation functors. This is joint work in progress with Kai-Wen Lan.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Zhenyu Tan Dissertation Defense
DESCRIPTION:TITLE: Kinesin regulation via kinesin binding protein (KIFBP) and autoinhibition\n\nABSTRACT: The spatiotemporal regulation of organelle positioning is critical for proper cellular function\, especially as the cell responds to a changing environment. A key player in this process is the kinesin superfamily of motor proteins. These proteins participate in a diverse range of cellular processes\, from facilitating long-range axonal transport to orchestrating the mitotic spindle during\ncell division. The regulation of kinesin motor proteins occurs via inhibitory and activation-based mechanisms\, where kinesin motor proteins are subject to autoinhibition when not bound to a cargo.\nRecently\, the discovery of the kinesin-binding protein (KIFBP) revealed a novel form of kinesin inhibition\, in which KIFBP binds to kinesin motor domains to block microtubule-binding. Cell biological studies indicate that both autoinhibition and KIFBP-mediated inhibition are critical for proper cellular function. However\, there remains little consensus and conflicting reports on the molecular mechanism of kinesin autoinhibition due to a lack of structural information on fulllength kinesin motors. Moreover\, the mechanism governing the KIFBP inhibition is poorly defined. In my Ph.D. research\, I applied integrative structural analysis to determine how\nautoinhibition and KIFBP-mediated inhibition occurs at molecular levels. My research project on kinesin-1 autoinhibition revised the established model in the field by offering the first comprehensive description of kinesin-1 autoinhibition (Tan et al. eLife 2023). Kinesin-1\, discovered nearly 40 years ago\, was the first identified kinesin and serves as a model for understanding kinesin function. A widely accepted model of kinesin-1 autoinhibition is that the C-terminal tail of kinesin-1 drives autoinhibition to block motility. However\, published data suggested that the tail may not be the sole determinant of autoinhibition. To uncover the molecular\nmechanism of kinesin-1 autoinhibition\, I combined AlphaFold protein structure prediction\, electron microscopy and cross-linking mass spectrometry to reveal the molecular architecture of autoinhibited kinesin-1. My findings revised the previous model and showed that multiple intramolecular contacts within the kinesin-1 lead to an inhibited state. My work provides a framework to understand why kinesin-1 activation requires cargo adaptors and microtubule-associated proteins to bind to and compete with intramolecular association to produce an open\,\nactive motor. My second project aimed to investigate kinesin binding protein (KIFBP)\, a newly identified regulatory binding partner of kinesins. KIFBP exhibits the remarkable ability to associate and inhibit specific members of the kinesin superfamily. Mutations to KIFBP in humans have been linked to the neurological disorder Goldberg-Shprintzen (GOSHS) syndrome. Despite the clinical\nrelevance of KIFBP\, it remains unclear how KIFBP binds kinesins\, how it achieves specificity for a subset of kinesins\, and which kinesin(s) are responsible for the phenotypes seen in GOSHS. To characterize the mechanism of kinesin regulation through KIFBP\, I determined cryo-EM structures of KIFBP alone at 3.8Å and KIFBP bound to two different kinesin motors at 4.5-4.9Å. I used de novo atomic modeling along with Phenix and Rosetta to develop a model for the KIFBP-engaged\nkinesin motors. My structures provided the first atomistic view of kinesin engaged by KIFBP\, showing that\, KIFBP remodels and displaces the microtubules binding helix from kinesins to block microtubule binding. My work (Solon*\, Tan*\, et al. Science Advances 2021) paves the way for a deeper understanding of how KIFBP regulates its subset of kinesins\, how it achieves specificity in binding\, and how it contributes to GOSHS

SUMMARY:Presentation:Liz Tidwell Dissertation Defense
DESCRIPTION:TITLE: Development of multidisciplinary methods for identifying small molecules with FMN riboswitch binding capacity\n\nABSTRACT: Antibiotic resistance remains a pressing global concern\, costing lives and taxing healthcare systems worldwide. One of the major factors of increasing rates of antibiotic resistance is that most antibiotics target the bacterial ribosome or a limited range of proteins. Due to the narrow range of targets and the relatively small number of antibiotics\, resistance to commonly used treatments arises quickly and can spread across bacterial populations. While there have been efforts to identify new targets for antimicrobial compounds and develop antibiotics with different chemical structures and mechanisms of action\, there continues to be a dearth of innovation in developing truly innovative antibiotic compounds. \n\nIn this thesis\, I discuss efforts to develop a series of tools to aid in the identification of new molecular scaffolds\, small molecules that can be altered to optimize antibacterial effects\, for an underexplored antibiotic target. Specifically\, these methods target bacterial riboswitches\, structured RNA elements that regulate vital biosynthetic pathways by binding a specific small molecule. Riboswitches are present in many bacteria\, including bacteria that pose the greatest risks to human health. Each riboswitch is defined by the specific molecule it binds to\; this dissertation focuses on the flavin mononucleotide riboswitch (FRS) The FRS binds to flavin mononucleotide\, an important cofactor for protein function and a key part of multiple metabolic cycles. Bacteria often use FRS to regulate riboflavin biosynthesis\, which is crucial for cellular growth and energy production. Since the FRS is a regulator for a vital pathway\, identifying molecules with distinct molecular structures that bind to the riboswitch could be optimized into novel antibiotics. \n\nWhile FRS has a wealth of previous characterization and some previously identified binding partners\; however\, none of these candidates have advanced beyond preliminary mouse studies\, far from actual implementation as a drug. We developed Fluorescent Ligand Equilibrium Displacement (FLED)\, a robust\, rapid\, and repeatable method\, to identify molecules capable of interacting with the FRS.  This method was applied to large libraries of compounds and their preliminary hits\, investigated using classical biochemical techniques. We also pioneered methods for analyzing RNA using the analytical technology Ion Mobility Mass Spectrometry (IM-MS). We utilized it to study both transfer RNAs and FRS. While the previously mentioned methods are versatile tools for screening compound libraries\, they do not account for the high cost of molecule libraries\, nor the limitations inherent to screening vast molecular libraries. We employed two computational screening methods to reduce the number of compounds screened before identifying a new binding partner. These methods\, coupled with FLED\, were used to investigate the predictions and determine if the current setup does increase the rate of compound discovery.\n\nThe results described here support using FLED\, IM-MS\, and computational screening to identify small molecule candidates for development as FMN riboswitch-targeted antibiotics. It also provides preliminary work toward new a method to measure transcription termination of riboswitches. Finally\, discusses the significance of such tools in the path toward antibiotic development.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Dynamics and computer-aided molecular design
DESCRIPTION:Nature has developed eloquent mechanisms for producing molecules through complex biosynthetic pathways consisting of enzymes as the primary molecular machines. Our goal is to hijack these metabolic pathways to create custom molecules for solving problems related to human health and the environment. The major challenges lie in understanding the mechanism of these dynamic pathways and decoding the relationship between enzyme sequence\, structure\, and function. Building upon state-of-the-art technologies\, we use enhanced sampling molecular dynamics\, machine learning\, and computational models tightly coupled to experimental results for protein and small molecule design. Recent breakthroughs include uncovering molecular recognition mechanisms in carrier-protein dependent biosynthesis pathways and understanding viral infection.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Macromolecular Silanes: Target-Oriented Synthesis and Emergent Properties
DESCRIPTION:The Klausen Research Groups identifies innovative synthetic paradigms that control material structure from the atom to the bulk\, enabling the emergence of new properties. This presentation will focus on macromolecular silanes\, inclusive of clusters\, polymers\, and polymer networks. Silicon is the semiconductor behind technologies like computer chips\, solar cells\, and batteries. The conventional approach to silicon-based materials is “top-down”: in a high-temperature process sand (SiO2) is converted to silicon (Si) ingots\, which is carved down to smaller components. This process only accesses the most thermodynamically stable form of silicon\, leaving uncovered vast swaths of structure-function space. Can we instead build silicon from the bottom-up\, atom-by-atom? Our approach realizes otherwise unknown structures and compositions. Inspired by the cyclic subunits embedded within crystalline silicon\, we envisioned that cyclosilane “building blocks” functionalized at distinct sites with reactive groups (e.g.\, SiH2) could be elaborated via dehydrogenative coupling to the poly(cyclosilane)s\, a new polymeric form of an essential semiconductor. We have realized unprecedented levels of stereochemical and architectural control of structure\, from which structure-based control of light absorption has emerged. The presentation will conclude on a new direction for macromolecular silanes\, focusing on the wide-ranging impact of silicon’s greater polarizability on polymer mechanical properties\, from the single strand to the network.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Quantum Dynamics of Light and Matter
DESCRIPTION:Placing molecules and materials between mirrors (or inside optical cavities) can enable the generation of exciting new chemical and physical phenomena in a highly controllable manner. In this talk\, I will share a few of our theoretical works that demonstrate how photons can play the roles of a catalyst\, a solvent\, and a quantum degree of freedom beyond their usual role as a source of energy\, to modify the chemical and physical properties of molecules and materials that are coupled to quantized radiation. First\, I will discuss how quantum light-matter interactions can be utilized to modify the photochemistry of molecules and how a single photon can act as a catalyst to initiate multiple chemical reactions\, leading to a quantum yield of more than one. Second\, I will share our theoretical work that investigates how coupling molecular vibrations to vacuum radiation inside optical cavities can suppress or enhance the cleavage of specific chemical bonds\, as seen in several recent experiments. I will share our theories that reveal that photons can act like solvents to enhance or suppress ground-state chemical kinetics. Next\, I will show that quantum light-matter interactions can modify exciton-phonon interactions and can lead to the suppression of phonon-mediated decoherence. This enables fast ballistic transport in materials that are coupled to cavity radiation. I will share experimental results from our collaborators that confirm our theoretical predictions. Finally\, I will share our theoretical framework\, the quasi-diabatic propagation scheme\, that allows for performing on-the-fly ab-initio quantum dynamics simulations\, enabling us to investigate a wide range of problems\, from photochemistry to polariton chemistry and beyond.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The role of language in learning\, communicating\, and doing chemistry
DESCRIPTION:Having a shared language such as English facilitates globalization of science\, but it may also limit science by posing unique challenges for those who are learning English-as-an-additional language (Eng+). Research is needed on the experiences of learners and scientists from Eng+ backgrounds to ensure that all members of our scientific community have the opportunity to learn and contribute\, especially as our classrooms and research groups become increasingly diverse.\n\nIn this seminar\, I will share two of our studies on the experiences of Eng+ learners in chemistry education. Our first study examined how undergraduate science students (N = 166) justified a chemical phenomenon in English and how this related to students' English proficiency. Our second study explored the experiences of Eng+ chemistry research trainees (N = 18) in learning\, communicating\, and doing chemistry in English. We explored challenges these trainees faced\, but also strategies and supports they found helpful and needed from supervisors/colleagues and departments. Alongside findings from both projects\, I will share implications for teaching and mentorship\, with special attention to what may be relevant to making learning and research more equitable at the University of Michigan.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Mass Spectrometry Imaging for Space-resolved Metabolomics: Cancer Studies and Instrument Development
DESCRIPTION:Space-resolved metabolomics using mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) allows the direct visualization of metabolite distributions in tissues\, thus enabling in-depth understanding of cancer-associated biochemical changes within specific structures. In recent years\, MSI studies have been increasingly used to uncover metabolic reprogramming associated with cancer development\, enabling the discovery of key biomarkers with potential for cancer diagnostics.\n\nOvarian cancer (OC) is one of the deadliest cancers among women with no effective screening tools available\, especially for early-stage diagnosis. Due to the lack of symptoms at its early stage\, only a small fraction of OCs is diagnosed for effective treatment. Furthermore\, the detailed mechanism of OC progression and metastasis remains unclear. Herein\, space-resolved lipid and N-glycan profiling of ovarian cancer tissues collected from two mouse models were investigated using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) MSI. In this talk\, I will discuss spatial distributions and alterations of key lipids and N-glycans in OC mouse tissues\, and their correlations with OC development and metastasis. Selected lipid and N-glycan features were used to develop multivariate statistical models for differentiation of OC tissues from healthy control tissues\, providing basis for early-stage OC diagnosis.\n\nI will also introduce my current work on developing a new laser based MSI platform powered by a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG)\, which can induce lipid C=C bond epoxidation for in-depth lipid identification in MSI experiments.

SUMMARY:Performance:Ani Mari & Co.
DESCRIPTION:New songwriting from the Keweenaw and Ann Arbor\nAni Mari is a 20-year-old Americana folk singer-songwriter from the northwoods of the Keweenaw Peninsula. Her genre-bending music and lyrics are old on soul\, sharp as a tack\, and full of whimsy—weaving complex chord progressions with heart-wrenching stories and melodies. A student at the University of Michigan\, Ani currently lives and performs in Ann Arbor with her band\, Ani Mari & Co. Before moving downstate\, Ani mainly played with her folk duo\, Ani & Kora\, with whom she has released two full albums and one EP of her original songs and has been touring with since she was 12 years old. Ani & Kora’s most recent album\, “Good Fighter\,” was recorded in 2021 with Americana artist and producer Erik Koskinen\, and released in March of 2022. Her new album\, “girlfriend\,” \,is Ani’s solo debut\, recorded with her band last summer in the Twin Cities. All ten songs are the product of Ani’s songwriting during her first two years at college and explore the uncertainty of entering her 20s\, love gained\, love lost\, and the beauty of living in the moment. Since she’s more committed to the songwriting than sticking to a specific genre\, “girlfriend” spans from northwoods folk to pop punk.\n\nPlease visit https://mutotix.umich.edu/4555/4556 for more detail.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Bartell Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Title: Expanding the Synthetic Capabilities of Yeast\n\nAbstract: In vitro directed evolution allows biomolecules with new and useful properties to be engineered—mimicking natural evolution on an experimentally accessible time scale by creating large libraries of DNA mutants using PCR and then carrying out a high-throughput assay for variants with improved function. To provide a breakthrough in the complexity of libraries that can be readily searched experimentally for synthetic biology and to allow systems to be directly engineered in the cell\, my laboratory is engineering S. cerevisiae so that both the mutagenesis and selection steps of directed evolution can be carried out entirely in vivo\, under conditions of sexual reproduction. We have built a modular chemical complementation assay\, which provides a selection for diverse chemistry beyond that natural to the cell using themes and variations on the yeast two-hybrid assay. In addition\, we devised a heritable recombination system\, for simultaneous mutagenesis and selection in vivo under conditions of sexual reproduction. Finally\, we have begun to utilize these mutagenesis and selection technologies to engineer yeast to carry out new functions themselves ranging from being a biosensor\, to a therapeutic\, to a self-organizing community.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Reactive nitrogen compounds and their contribution to new particle formation and growth
DESCRIPTION:Atmospheric new particle formation (NPF) followed by growth of the particles to ~50-100 nm accounts for ~50% of the particles that can activate cloud droplets. As such\, constraining how aerosols affect cloud lifecycle\, properties\, and processes and\, more generally\, the earth’s radiative balance requires knowledge of NPF and growth processes. However\, our understanding of NPF and growth remains incomplete because these processes are governed by a complex interplay between the chemistry and physical state of the atmosphere. Additionally\, ambient measurements of molecules\, such as amines\, that have been proposed to be important for NPF are sparse\, thus limiting our ability to evaluate the global importance of different nucleation mechanisms. In this talk\, I will discuss our work on NPF and growth at the Department of Energy Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Southern Great Plains (SGP) research station\, one of the longest-running atmospheric measurement sites in North America. At this agricultural site\, we investigate NPF and growth using a combination of long-term measurements of aerosol size distributions and intensive operating periods in which we measure NPF and growth precursors and chemically characterize the growing clusters using mass spectrometry. Our measurements provide insight into the contribution of various oxidized and reduced reactive nitrogen compounds to these processes and highlight the importance of ambient measurements in providing the scientific information required to improve our understanding of aerosol-cloud interactions.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:AbbVie Symposium \"Development of a Scalable Route for the Drug-Linker of Immunology ADC ABBV-154\"
DESCRIPTION:A scalable route has been developed to the bromoacetamide glucocorticoid drug-linker used in conjugation with the monoclonal antibody (mAb) adalimumab to produce antibody-drug conjugate ABBV-154. Optimization and insights will be discussed into the key transformations and isolations including a challenging acetal deprotection\, amide coupling between an aniline and dipeptide\, phosphate formation via a phosphoramidite displacement and oxidation\, Fmoc cleavage with a continuous extraction\, bromoacetic acid coupling\, and a global acidic deprotection.  Notably\, the final deprotection of three t-butyl protecting groups proceeds through several intermediates and is complicated by acetal epimerization. This complex reaction was initially optimized in a batch setup\, but scaling issues prompted the development of a flow process with an impinging jet mixing element.

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:AbbVie Symposium \"Electrochemical Methods for Reductive Cross-Coupling Reactions\"
DESCRIPTION:The seminar will describe our group's efforts towards the development of scalable\, mild\, and general electrosynthetic methodologies for cross-coupling reactions. Many of the discussed electrosynthetic methodologies are possible because of a synergy between conventional transition metal catalysts for cross coupling and redox-active mediators developed by the battery community. Electrocatalytic reactions are dramatically improved with the incorporation of co-catalytic quantities of redox mediators that serve to assist in electron transfer\, protect catalysts from degradation by over-oxidation/reduction\, or promote in the formation of otherwise inaccessible catalytic intermediates. Additionally\, a general approach to cross-coupling will be presented that relies on the electrosynthesis of organometallic reagents that undergo radical capture and coupling.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Nick Ellis Dissertation Defense
DESCRIPTION:This dissertation focuses on analytical developments to triple oxygen isotope measurements (Δ′17O) and their potential for new applications in the paleosciences. In this dissertation\, I explore the utility of Δ′17O as a paleoecological tool using the fossil teeth of Early Eocene mammals. Furthermore\, I use these Δ′17O measurements to probe global biological productivity in the Early Eocene.\n\nChapter 2 introduces a new analytical method for making high-precision (< 10 ppm 1σ uncertainty) Δ′17O measurements in an array of diverse Earth materials\, including organics\, sulfates\, phosphates\, nitrates\, carbonates\, silicates\, and waters. The method uses a 3-step process to quantitatively convert sample oxygen to molecular oxygen (O2) for mass spectrometric analysis. Sample oxygen is first converted to oxygen in CO via a high temperature conversion (HTC) furnace (commonly known by the popular Thermo brand “TC/EA”)\, then oxygen in CO is converted to oxygen in water via a Bosch-type methanation reaction\, and finally oxygen in water is converted to O2 by fluorination. In this chapter\, I report the first ever high-precision Δ′17O measurements for organic materials and nitrates along with new measurements for various other standard reference materials.\n\nChapter 3 applies the triple oxygen isotope system to a taxonomically diverse group of mammal teeth from the Early Eocene Willwood Formation of the Bighorn Basin. I use Δ′17O as a tracer for evaporative signals that yield information about the types of water resources each animal used during its life. This chapter offers new insights into the water-use strategies\, dietary preferences\, and habitats of the animals surveyed. I found evidence for semi-aquatic lifestyles in Homogalax and Coryphodon\, while Hyracotherium appeared to be substantially more water independent. Esthonyx and Cantius recorded more variable intermediate Δ′17O values\, potentially suggesting more generalized water-use behaviors in these taxa. \n\nChapter 4 explores the utility of Δ’17O in mammalian teeth to reconstruct biological productivity at the global scale. Here\, I used animal body water models to isolate the Δ′17O signal of respired atmospheric O2 from the fossil mammal teeth sampled in chapter 3. I then leveraged the relationship between global gross primary productivity (GPP) and Δ′17O of atmospheric O2 to reconstruct global GPP. The results from this analysis suggest that global GPP may have been substantially elevated relative to present day\, providing additional context for the state of life during a warm greenhouse world unlike the modern.\n\nThe advances to triple oxygen isotope geochemistry outlined here offer new\, highly versatile methodologies and applications that lay the foundation for routine Δ′17O measurements in a number of new Earth materials. This will fundamentally allow for new investigations into previously underexplored topics in the geosciences and expand our understanding of ancient worlds.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Enabling Electrocatalytic Transformations through Ligand Tuning at Transition Metal Complexes
DESCRIPTION:Achieving a sustainable chemical future will require the development of efficient processes for the interconversion of electrical and chemical energy for renewable fuels production\, fuel cell applications\, and the synthesis of chemical feedstocks. Molecular transition metal electrocatalysts often operate with high selectivity under mild operating conditions\, and offer precise control over the active site through systematic tuning of the ligand and metal complex properties. In the first part of my talk\, I will discuss our efforts to use hydride transfer to promote the electrochemical oxidation of fuels and the electrochemical reduction of organic substrates. We have developed a family of cobalt-phosphine complexes that facilitate electrocatalytic formate oxidation at mild potentials and high selectivity. By tuning the complex coordination sphere and the reaction conditions\, we reveal trends in the thermodynamic properties\, catalyst stability\, and rate of formate oxidation. I will also present our recent work to develop electrochemical ionic hydrogenation for the reduction of carbonyl compounds using an iridium catalyst. The selective reduction of acetophenone can be achieved using Brønsted acids at mild applied potentials\, and Lewis acids induce a significant rate increase. In the final part of my talk\, I will share our work using redox-active ligands to promote multielectron redox behavior at first-row metal complexes. We have shown that a class of cobalt-phenylenediamide complexes undergo reversible two-electron oxidation\, which can be tuned over 0.5 V. Experimental and computational studies were used to establish the electronic structure of these complexes. The application of these systems to promote small molecule activation via ligand-to-substrate electron transfer or ligand-based hydrogen atom transfer will be discussed.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Emma Rieb Dissertation Defense
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Emma Rieb’s upcoming dissertation defense!\n\nTitle: \"Wavelength-dependent controls on the coupled photochemical and microbial degradation of dissolved organic matter in arctic surface waters\"\n\nAbstract: \nSurface waters emit nearly as much carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere as is transferred from the atmosphere to the land surface. This large flux of CO2 from surface waters is driven by the export of dissolved organic matter (DOM) from land to streams and lakes\, where it can be oxidized to CO2. Sunlight-driven degradation (photodegradation) of DOM contributes to CO2 emissions from surface waters by both completely oxidizing DOM to CO2 and by chemically altering DOM into forms that are more or less labile for microbes to respire to CO2. However\, the amount of DOM that is oxidized to CO2 in surface waters as a result of photodegradation is uncertain because the relative importance of ultraviolet (UV) and visible wavelengths of sunlight for DOM photodegradation is poorly characterized in any surface waters. \nHere\, a light-emitting diode (LED)-based approach was used to directly quantify the wavelength-dependent photodegradation of DOM in arctic surface waters to produce both CO2 and chemically altered DOM that increases or decreases microbial respiration. Effects of photodegradation by UV and visible wavelengths of LED light were tested on both modern DOM in arctic surface waters and ancient DOM from permafrost soils that represent a future source of DOM as the arctic warms. Controls on the coupled photochemical and microbial degradation of DOM by UV and visible light were identified\, and the impacts of wavelength-dependent photodegradation on rates of CO2 production in surface waters were assessed.\n\nThe oxidation of modern DOM to CO2 by both UV and visible light was greatest in waters with high concentrations of dissolved iron and aromatic DOM. Additionally\, the efficiency of CO2 production at all wavelengths decreased with increasing light exposure history of DOM due to the depletion of fractions of DOM most susceptible to photodegradation. These findings demonstrate that spatial and temporal variability in the composition and sunlight exposure history of DOM in surface waters can result in substantial variability in rates of photochemical CO2 production.\n\nThe net effect of photodegradation on the amount of modern DOM that was labile to microbial respiration also depended on the wavelength-dependent light exposure history of DOM. Microbial respiration increased substantially with increasing oxidation of DOM by UV light\, relative to dark controls. In contrast\, photodegradation of DOM by visible light increased respiration at low amounts of DOM oxidized but had diminishing or negative effects on respiration with increasing DOM oxidized by light. Rates of respiration of modern\, photodegraded DOM in surface waters depended most strongly on the effects of visible light\, ranging from 70% higher to 120% lower than rates predicted from prior work. \n\nAncient DOM draining from permafrost soils was also shown to be labile to microbial respiration to CO2 after photodegradation by UV and visible light. Similar to modern DOM\, the effects of permafrost DOM photodegradation on microbial respiration depended on the extent of DOM oxidation by light. Additionally\, the radiocarbon age and stable carbon (13C) isotopic composition of carbon respired to CO2 indicated that ancient\, lipid and lignin-like fractions of permafrost DOM were most labile to respiration\, both in the dark and after photodegradation. Together\, results of this dissertation demonstrate that CO2 production rates may vary substantially over space and time in surface waters\, both now and in the future\, in response to wavelength-dependent controls on the coupled photochemical and microbial degradation of DOM.\n\nLink to abstract: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Mix5U83XX_YcqYoDUA7_KEQGRy53Eu-N/view

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Metal–Olefin Interactions and the Catalytic Reactions They Inspire
DESCRIPTION:Alkenes are inexpensive\, widely available chemical feedstocks that can be sourced from petroleum or renewable resources. The goal of research in the Engle lab is to develop novel catalytic alkene functionalization reactions that introduce new functional groups at each of the alkenyl carbon atoms in a programmable fashion. In this way\, simple planar starting materials can be directly converted into densely functionalized\, stereochemically defined products\, which can then serve as building blocks for structurally complex target molecules that are of academic and industrial importance\, including many widely used pharmaceutical agents. To this end\, the Engle lab has developed strategies involving directing auxiliaries\, native directing groups\, and transient directing groups\, as well as complementary non-directed approaches that are compatible with a variety of metals\, redox manifolds\, and coupling partners. Detailed mechanistic studies have shed light on the interplay between the substrate\, metal\, and ancillary ligands in dictating reaction outcomes\, informing new catalyst designs through an iterative feedback loop.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Exploring the Spin Distribution of Stellar Mass Black Holes
DESCRIPTION:The launch of NuSTAR and the increasing number of binary black hole (BBH) mergers detected through gravitational wave (GW) observations have exponentially advanced our understanding of black holes. Despite the simplicity owed to being fully described by their mass and angular momentum\, black holes have remained mysterious laboratories that probe the most extreme environments in the Universe. While significant progress has been made in the recent decade\, the distribution of spin in black holes has not yet been understood. Exploring the spin distribution across stellar-mass black holes provides an insight into the formation of black holes\, supernova events\, collapsar models\, gamma-ray bursts\, the formation and evolution of X-ray binary systems and binary black hole systems\, and the physics of accretion. The preferred spin measurement techniques are “continuum fitting” (see e.g.\, Gou et al. 2009) and “relativistic reflection” (see e.g.\, Miller 2007). Relativistic reflection is independent of black hole mass\, accretion rate\, and distance to the system\, making it a more versatile technique. Up until now\, spin measurements for the same black hole using the two methods did not always agree\, and even measurements using the same method did not always adopt the same sets of assumptions and theoretical prescriptions. My work provides a pipeline that uses state of the art relativistic reflection models to fully explore the entire physical parameter space and to provide a uniform treatment of a large sample of black holes. Using this pipeline on NuSTAR data\, I measured more than a dozen new black hole spins in X-ray binary systems\, significantly expanding the measured sample size\, and remeasured existing black hole spins in order to compile a distribution of measurements made using entirely consistent methods and systematic uncertainties. Additionally\, I compared the distribution to that of spins measured in mergers of binary black hole systems observed through gravitational waves\, in order to offer a unified view of black hole spin evolution. The results suggest that the observed spin distribution of black holes in X-ray binaries is sharply peaked at high values\, incompatible with the spin distribution inferred based on GW signals from merging BBH\, suggesting that the observed black hole distributions are inherently different. Understanding the distribution of black hole spins in X-ray binaries paves the way for future Gravitational Wave efforts and for future X-ray missions such as XRISM\, HEX-P\, AXIS\, STROBE-X\, or ATHENA.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Rafael Rivero Dissertation Defense
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Rafael Rivero’s upcoming dissertation defense!\n\nTitle:  From Living Fossils to Adaptive Radiations: Examining Phenotypic Evolution in Lobe-Finned Fishes\n\nAbstract:\nVertebrates have experienced diverse eras pivotal in shaping their evolutionary trajectory\, with some groups surviving while myriad go extinct. However\, the patterns of morphological evolution that underlie their history in deep time remain not well understood. In this dissertation\, I use phenotypic data from lobe-finned fishes\, a group of mostly extinct and structurally intermediate bony fishes that hold a significant phylogenetic position at the base of the vertebrate tree of life\, to analyze the tempo of their early success and subsequent decline. First\, I use two independent types of trait data to assess if three fish lineages identified as iconic “living fossils” share common patterns in rates of change through their evolutionary history as implied by their title. I find that there are marked differences in patterns recovered among and within groups and traits\, implying unique evolutionary trajectories across time and urging the reassessment of the use of qualitative descriptors without forming the proper quantitative foundation. Then\, I describe a ‘phaneropleurid’ lungfish from late Devonian fluvial deposits in the Canadian Arctic. The articulated fossil represents a new species that possesses skeletal adaptations along its dorsal fin and skull that intimate its transitional nature. I show how this structurally intermediate lungfish can offer insights into the conditions punctuating the transition to a more modern\, post-Devonian anatomy. Finally\, I shift focus to sarcopterygian macroevolutionary patterns across the Devonian\, using jaws as a robust\, ecologically informative model system to interrogate whether this early diversification bears the hallmarks of a putative adaptive radiation. I detect the hypothesized patterns of high initial evolutionary rates followed by deceleration\, with clades within the group showing more diffusive patterns and more extensive or restricted exploration of shape space early in their evolutionary history. This dissertation offers new perspectives on hundreds of millions of years of evolution in sarcopterygian and “living fossil” lineages\, and further underscores how morphological data can provide insights into the intricacies of macroevolutionary patterns during periods of rapid phenotypic change.

SUMMARY:Performance:Seth Bernard
DESCRIPTION:Seth Bernard’s journey—from potent young Interlochen Center for the Arts idealist to iconic troubadour of the Great Lakes region—has been rooted in the woods and water\, soil and soul of Michigan. Born on Earthwork Farm in Lake City on April Fools Day 1980\, Bernard has been playing the trickster-bard ever since. \n\nSeth came to an understanding early that music\, poetry and art\, along with activism\, farming and earth science\, all intertwine into one great work. Probably because of the crowded farm dinner table\, where books of poetry\, tapes of jazz\, blues\, rock n’ roll and traditional music\, guests of all kinds\, and even the occasional raptor being rehabbed all shared space. Some folks call this “folklife\,” and in Seth’s music it’s as likely to show up through a Casio SK-1 or a Gretsch electric as much as a fiddle or high harmony. \n\n“Michigan proved to be the most richly varied region for folk music that I had ever visited\,” said Alan Lomax. Listening to these old voices and resisting the siren song of Nashville\, Austin\, or NYC\, Seth decided to root his work and his music in rural Michigan. That choice has led to a uniquely Michigan musical anatomy\, which ties ongoing inventiveness (most clearly on display with the Eggtones quadrilogy\, released from 2016 to 2018) to a commitment to a great live show\, whether on NPR or at SXSW or sharing a stage with the likes of John Prine\, Patty Griffin\, Daniel Johnston and Greg Brown. Most importantly\, it ties Seth and his music to a life of work on behalf of the youth\, equity\, water and community throughout the Great Lakes.\n\nEven as COVID limited live performance\, Seth used the time to produce two quarantine albums\, 2020’s lo-fi home recording Let Love Light the Way and 2021’s My Heart is My Home\, calling in performances from friends like Theo Katzman (Vulfpeck) and Dave Bruzza (Greensky Bluegrass). These two solo albums bring the total to twelve in a career that now spans two decades.\n\nLike a true old-school folkie\, he writes and plays the songs because they mean something\, and that something they mean drives a life beyond just playing songs.\n\nhttps://samuelsethbernard.com/

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CommUNITY Seminar | Beyond Large Enrollments: Cultivating Latine Student Success in Introductory Chemistry through Servingness-Centered Evidence-Based Pedagogies
DESCRIPTION:In response to the critical imperative of addressing underrepresentation and educational debt among Latine students in STEM fields at Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs)\, this project endeavors to develop servingness-centered and evidence-based pedagogies in the chemistry classroom. While existing research on HSIs focuses on defining servingness at the organizational level \, there has been very little discussion on how that is operationalized in STEM classroom in terms of pedagogy and practice. In contrast\, active learning has been studied extensively in STEM Education. Numerous researchers have advocated for the application of active learning practices to effectively achieve this objective. Active learning practices encompass a comprehensive spectrum of instructional strategies that prioritize dynamic student involvement\, encourage collaborative participation\, and foster experiential learning. However\, research has shown conflicting evidence regarding: 1) Students’ perceptions of learning\, 2) Barriers to implementation of these strategies\, and 3) Whether these strategies are truly effective in bridging the enduring disparities in educational outcomes and opportunities for marginalized groups\, which stem from historical disadvantages like unequal access to quality education\, resources\, and opportunities\, remains a central question. This suggests that relying solely on active learning may not be sufficient to adequately tackle educational disparities faced by Latinx students in STEM classrooms or to nurture their ability to navigate between their Latine identity and STEM identity. We posit that true servingness-centered pedagogies and curricula should place emphasis not only on academic achievement but also on the integration of students' Latine cultural heritage into the framework of science education within the classroom. This specific research project aims to establish a clear understanding of the concept of \"servingness\" within the context of the introductory chemistry classroom. We embedded a Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) curriculum\, into an introductory chemistry course and measure its effectiveness on servingness indicators. POGIL is a widely recognized and researched active learning curriculum that integrates active learning principles. The implementation involved a structured Design Based Research Cycle (DBR). Here we strategically introduced servingness-enhancing structures based on the identification of servingness indicators reflecting stagnant or unchanging trends after each implementation year. The central hypothesis of the project is that while a purely evidence-based approach may effectively improve performance and retention to the next chemistry course\, it likely is not sufficient to support border crossing or the development of science identity. Student outcomes significantly improved\, reducing the historical DFW rate from 35% to 11%. Qualitative findings revealed two major themes. First\, a Sense of Belonging emerged\, driven by diverse scientist representation in course content\, fostering inclusivity and recognizing diversity's importance in STEM. Second\, Self-Efficacy and Effective Learning Tools were highlighted\, with students reporting increased confidence and understanding of chemistry concepts. In summary\, while POGIL effectively enhances cognitive outcomes and self-efficacy\, it does not substantially boost students' sense of belonging. This study underscores the importance of tailoring servingness-centered structures to complement active learning\, urging institutions to address students' specific needs rather than attempting to fix marginalized students themselves.

SUMMARY:Performance:Buffalo Rose
DESCRIPTION:Buffalo Rose is a charismatic six-piece modern folk/Americana band from Pittsburgh\, PA. They take the singer-songwriter tradition to a new level by crafting original songs which are emotive\, meticulously arranged\, and inspired by a world of idiosyncratic influences that never let a dull or predictable moment creep in.\n\nBuffalo Rose's lineup of Lucy Clabby (vocals)\, Margot Jezerc (vocals)\, Bryce Rabideau (mandolin)\, Malcolm Inglis (dobro)\, Jason Rafalak (upright bass)\, and Shane McLaughlin (guitar\, vocals) pushes itself and each other far beyond their perceived limits and blends their diverse and atypical approach to songwriting with the desire to see how unique a song can get and still feel like home. They use powerful vocal harmonies\, strong playing\, and an original vision to operate at every possible emotional level and put on dynamic live shows that are unforgettable experiences. They go from up and moving to sad and sweet and back again\, bringing the entire audience along. \n\nRather than play the folk music of the past\, the band gleefully combines genres and ideas together to move acoustic music forward to a new\, contemporary place without ever losing sight of its roots. Fans of Lake Street Dive\, Nickel Creek\, and Punch Brothers will find much to like in this crew. Anyone seeking compelling new acoustic music needs to join Buffalo Rose in the future right now.

She weaves her humor and playfulness into the depth of the human existence\, and it is a regular occurrence for audience members to laugh and cry simultaneously. Hershock is a multi award-winning Michigan based songwriter\, classically trained pianist\, and young mother of three incredible children.

With her OSHEN she merges a literary writing style and folk-rock Americana sound to create rich and emotionally complex music. After surviving a global pandemic while grieving multiple deaths\, Bacon emerges in 2024 with a host of creative works revolving around grief\, including the album release for this show: Storm.\n\nStorm - her 4th full length record - was recorded to analogue tape in Nashville over four days at Daylight Studio with friend and studio owner Paul Defiglia (Avett Brothers\, Langhorn Slim\, Erin Rae) who also co-produced the album with Bacon. The songs cover a range of losses from the keening depths of death's grip\, to the ragged edges of love lost. \n\nhttps://www.anniebacon.me/\n\nhttps://www.sammiehershock.com/

DESCRIPTION:After Al Stewart’s US tour in 2019 with his band The Empty Pockets\, he spent most of 2020 and 2021 sidelined due the COVID-19 pandemic. But in 2022\, he came back full force with a string of sold out shows in the United States and United Kingdom.  He continues his trek with several shows throughout the United States with The Empty Pockets. He will be playing his old favorites\, like Year Of The Cat\, Time Passages\, On the Border\, and Modern Times\, along with selections from his deep catalog.\n\nThe Scottish-born singer-songwriter has released nearly 20 introspective and lyrically powerful records featuring brilliant backing musicians (Jimmy Page\, Phil Collins\, Richard Thompson\, Peter White\, etc.). His biggest platinum successes\, “Year Of The Cat” and “Time Passages”\, were released in 1976 & 1978 respectively. He’s had several top 20 singles\, including the above-mentioned titles\, as well as “On the Border” and “Song On The Radio”. \n\nIn Al’s own Words: “I'm just a folk singer that is interested in history and wine that got lucky with some hit records!  It's as simple as that really. I was always a huge music fan and originally\, I had wanted to be Brian Jones and then Bob Dylan\, but those two jobs were already taken. And in many ways\, I'm still pretty much the same troubadour that I was back in 1965. I still get a kick out of hearing the Zombies\, Hendrix or They Might be Giants on the radio.”\n\nhttps://alstewart.com/\n\nhttps://theemptypockets.com/home

SUMMARY:Performance:Jeremy Pinnell
DESCRIPTION:When Jeremy Pinnell released OH/KY in the summer of 2015 to stunned acclaim\, it felt like an entire career compressed into one knock-out album. Hailed as\, a “Mind-blowingly good” (Greg Vandy/KEXP) “ ”tutorial on classic country music” (Popmatters)\, Pinnell’s debut immediately differentiated as authentic and unflinching. His 2017 album\, Ties of Blood and Affection presented a canny lateral move. Instead of doubling down on the stark themes and values of his debut\, the sophomore album found Pinnell finding comfort in his own skin\, achieving the redemption only hinted at in his previous batch of haunted songs. \n\nIf the third time’s a charm\, Pinnell is all shine and sparkle on Goodbye LA. Produced by Texan Jonathan Tyler\, the tunes buff the wax and polish the chrome on Country music’s deeper roots. Rooted in his steady acoustic guitar\, Pinnell’s songs are shot through with honest and classic elements. Honest and careworn\, Jeremy’s voice can touch on wry\, jubilant\, and debauched - all in a single line.  At his best\, Jeremy Pinnell chronicles the joy and sorrow of being human\, which is the best that anyone could do.\n\nhttps://www.jeremypinnell.com/

SUMMARY:Performance:Nadim Azzam w/ opener Mark Zhu
DESCRIPTION:A blend of hip-hop\, alt rock\, and jazz fusion that uplifts and inspires\n\nYou’ve got to hurt to heal. Through painfully honest self-reflection\, Nadim Azzam addresses depression\, addiction\, and the dysfunctional realities of our times with his songs rooted in hope and connectivity. A singer\, rapper\, and songwriter who makes his own beats and plays multiple instruments on his tracks\, Nadim has spent years evolving to where his music is today.\n\nA symbiosis of programmed drums and organic live instruments creates a warm\, sometimes surreal sonic environment. Smooth keys\, angular guitars\, and lush synth pads swim alongside melodic vocal hooks and bars that waste no time getting straight to the heart of things. The energy is chill\, friendly and open-hearted\, but the songs open up from this unassuming approach into statements of vulnerability and bracing honesty. Nothing is hidden\, and nothing is off-limits. Graceful vocals and smiling lyrical flows reveal a personal truth that’s sometimes almost hard to look at but always comes from a search for real understanding.\n\nMaking songs for the deep-thinkers\, the over-drinkers\, and other sensitive souls\, Nadim faces his own struggles head-on in hopes of offering some sense of solace to anyone else walking similar valleys of their own. These songs seek to remind that there’s more to life\, and that the pain any given individual feels can be transformed from a solitary torment into a vessel of connection.\n\nOpener Mark Zhu (pronounced “Joo”) addresses relationships\, mental health\, and identity with his songs rooted in healing and emotional vulnerability. A Chinese American singer-songwriter\, music producer\, mix engineer\, pianist\, and designer from Ann Arbor\, Mark is making waves at the University of Michigan. There\, he studies computer engineering by day and plays shows by night\, building his career as an aspiring recording and touring artist. As an award-winning pianist who has performed at Carnegie Hall three times\, Mark leverages his classical training to drive his production skills\, blending genres to create piano-driven ballads\, synth-driven R&B\, and fearless pop anthems.

SUMMARY:Performance:Iris Dement
DESCRIPTION:The youngest of 14 children\, Iris DeMent was born in Paragould\, Arkansas\, and moved to California with her devoutly religious family when she was three. As a teenager she absorbed the country music of Loretta Lynn\, Merle Haggard\, and Johnny Cash\, as well as the folk classics of Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell. Her 1992 debut album\, \"Infamous Angel\,\" distilled these influences into a poetic yet down-to-earth songwriting style. With a heartfelt\, homespun voice that listeners recognize instantly\, Iris released some of the most powerful roots albums of the 1990s with the beautifully sparse \"My Life\" and the harder-edged \"The Way I Should.\" She has continued to make powerful and distinctive albums on her own schedule\, and her latest\, just out\, is “Workin’ on a World.” This striking collection of songs faces the modern world—as it is right now—with its climate catastrophe\, pandemic illness\, and epidemic of violence and social injustice. The album not only asks us how we can keep working towards a better world\, but implores us to love each other\, despite our very different ways of seeing. Her songs are her way of healing our broken inner and outer spaces.\n\nhttps://irisdement.com/

SUMMARY:Performance:Kim Richey
DESCRIPTION:In January 2024\, Kim Richey found herself in Mexico\, gazing out at a sea of people singing along to “I’m Alright\,” one of her classic tracks. The three folks on stage with the veteran\, Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter were also raising their voices in harmony. To her right sat Brandi Carlile\, to her left\, Mary Chapin Carpenter and Brandy Clark. The formidable foursome was participating in a songwriter’s round only half-jokingly dubbed “Titans of Americana” at Carlile’s female-forward Girls Just Wanna Weekend festival on the Riviera Maya in Mexico.\n\n“That was nuts looking out and seeing everybody arm-waving and singing along\,” says Richey\, still both incredulous and cheered by the memory of performing with that supergroup and later appearing alongside other Girls Just Wanna Weekend-ers Annie Lennox\, Lucius\, Allison Russell\, and Sarah McLachlan among others. “It was just like\, ‘wow’!”\n\nThe good news for fans of this particular Titan is there will soon be a whole new batch of songs to sing along with and arm wave to with the forthcoming release of her 10th studio album Every New Beginning. The 10 songs on Every New Beginning represent the full spectrum of the Ohio native’s gifts as both a revered songwriter who can leap from melancholy to mirthful in a single couplet — whose songs have been recorded by the likes of Brooks and Dunn\, Patty Loveless\, and Mary Chapin Carpenter — and owner of one of music’s truly celestial voices. \n\nThat voice\, which Brandi Carlile has cited as formative in crafting her own style\, is a widely sought after harmony instrument and has been featured on scores of albums including Jason Isbell’s acclaimed Southeastern\, Trisha Yearwood’s Everybody Knows\, Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams\, Reba McEntire’s Starting Over\, and Has Been by Capt. Kirk himself\, William Shatner\, among many others.

SUMMARY:Performance:Doolin'
DESCRIPTION:After three years of breakout touring at some of the biggest roots festivals in the United States and Canada\, and another three years locked out of the live performance world they have so ambitiously cultivated\, Doolin’\, France’s premiere practitioners of Irish and Celtic music\, return in early 2023 with a new album entitled CIRCUS BOY. \n\nRecorded in part in the US (Chicago\, Kansas City and Pittsburgh) during their 2019 tour\, the album was completed at the legendary Studio Ferber in Paris\, France\, under the direction of two legendary producers\, Olivier Lude and Patrice Renson\, both of whom have collaborated with some of the biggest names in French music. While their 2016 album drew its inspiration from the fusion of traditional Irish music\, French chanson\, and American roots music\, CIRCUS BOY is resolutely more adventurous\, as evidenced by their original compositions as well as by the added punch and sonic elements that were brought to the project by producers Lude and Renson.  \n\nWilfried Besse’s vocals are supported as usual by the driving rhythm section of Josselin Fournel (percussion)\, Sébastien Saunié (bass) and Nicolas Besse (guitars)\, and the trad-Irish influence remains evidenced through the whistles of Jacob Fournel\, the bodhran of his brother\, Josselin\, and the nimble accordion playing of Nicolas’ brother\, Wilfried. But CIRCUS BOY represents a more powerful and bigger musical vision for the band\, made possible by the introduction of piano\, drums\, and brass as new sonic elements. That said\, the Irish music tradition is not complete without the presence of a fiddle or two\, and on CIRCUS BOY Doolin’ includes three of the best European fiddlers of the genre: Niahm Gallagher\, Niall Murphy\, and Guilhem Cavaillé\, himself a founding member of the band.\n \nhttps://www.doolin.fr/

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Spectroscopic studies of nucleic acid structure\, dynamics and photophysics
DESCRIPTION:RNA performs a diverse set of biological functions\, many of which require it to fold into specific structures. Many techniques have been developed to study RNA folding\, a number of which are based on fluorescence detection. I will present work in which we used fluorescent analogues of the natural RNA bases to selectively probe the structures of different conformational subpopulations of RNA. We investigated the photophysical properties of base analogues in different structural contexts using a combination of time-resolved fluorescence measurements and fluorescence-detected circular dichroism spectroscopy\, which circumvents the ensemble averaging that typically limits the power of bulk spectroscopic methods such as CD. Ensemble averaging can also be avoided by performing measurements on single molecules. I will present work in which we utilized single-molecule microscopy to investigate the ensemble of structures adopted by RNA \"switches\". These studies reveal how the 3D structure of RNA is impacted by intrinsic factors such as base sequence and extrinsic factors such as the binding of small molecules.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Protein dynamics: Connecting in vitro\, in cell\, and in vivo
DESCRIPTION:Our current understanding of in vitro protein folding is due to decades of experimental and computational research that provided high-resolution characterization of protein structure\, identification of folding principles\, and development of folding algorithms. This research has benefited scientists broadly. For example\, machine learning can now predict a protein’s 3D shape from its amino-acid sequence\, proteins can be designed de novo for a specific fold or function\, and supercomputers can simulate milliseconds of protein dynamics with all-atom resolution. With the success of in vitro studies\, it is essential that we now turn our attention in vivo. While evidence that the cellular environment perturbs protein behaviors emerged over half a century ago\, we still have limited fundamental information about the effects of these cooperative cellular interactions on protein properties. The gap in knowledge is largely attributable to the transient nature of interactions in the cellular milieu and challenges associated with studying protein structure\, stability\, and dynamics in living cells. Here we leverage groundbreaking spectro-microscopy methods\, fast relaxation fluorescence imaging (FReI) and optical photothermal infrared imaging (O-PTIR) in combination with functional biochemical assays\, in vitro biophysical spectroscopy\, and numerical analysis solutions\, to characterize in-cell protein dynamics. Our work addresses the following questions: 1. What is the physiochemical code to protein folding? Do classic in vitro protein principles translate to cells? 2. Can we develop methods to visualize the spatial distribution of metabolism and associated metabolic protein structural dynamics in living cells? 3. How does thermal adaptation and acclimation by organisms change the stability\, folding\, and aggregation of proteins in differentiated tissues? Overall\, this work will lead to a greater understanding of protein homeostasis in health and disease.

DESCRIPTION:In 2018\, 25 years after the release of their multi-Grammy nominated hit album “God Shuffled His Feet”\, The Crash Test Dummies hit the road for the first time in 20 years with an Anniversary Tour that spanned North America. The overwhelming reception led to a 30th Anniversary Tour in 2022 for their debut release “The Ghosts That Haunt Me” that touched down in the US\, UK\, Germany\, Austria\, the Netherlands\, Luxembourg\, and Canada. And the band is showing no signs of slowing down...\n\n“Touring again was not something we’d planned on\, but surprisingly – at least to me – there are lots of people who many years later\, still want to come and hear us. The folks that are coming out to see these shows tell us their stories\, some of them very funny\, some very dark and all very personal. It’s very humbling\, being in the confidence of so many people” says lead singer-songwriter Brad Roberts\, “and it has inspired us to continue to tour and make music.”\n\n2023 saw the release of a new\, original Crash Test Dummies single “Sacred Alphabet.”\n\nhttps://www.crashtestdummies.com/

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Interplay Between Antiaromaticity and Diradical Character in Diarenoindacenes and Diindenoarenes
DESCRIPTION:This talk will present our synthetic\, structural\, computational and materials studies of a class of carbon-rich semiconducting molecules based on the indenofluorene (IF) skeleton. Access to the fully conjugated\, 20 π-electron\, formally antiaromatic system is accomplished via a variety of intermediate diones. These molecules in turn can be assembled via well-known organic possesses (Suzuki cross-coupling\, benzylic oxidation\, Friedel-Crafts acylation/alkylation). Optimization of their synthesis now permits access to IF derivatives in multigram quantities. We have shown that thin films or single crystals of several different IF scaffolds can serve as an active layer in organic field effect transistors (OFETs). Current studies (Figure 1) are focused on varying the antiaromaticity of the indacene unit by systematic alteration of the outer benzene groups with other aromatic units as well as on increasing the diradical character of the framework by expansion of the quinoidal core.

DESCRIPTION:Shemekia Copeland possesses one of the most instantly recognizable and deeply soulful roots music voices of our time. The multi-GRAMMY nominee is beloved and honored worldwide for the fearlessness\, honesty and humor of her revelatory songs\, as well as for her winning\, engaging personality. The Chicago Tribune says\, “Copeland is the greatest female blues vocalist working today. There’s no mistaking the majesty of her instrument\, nor the ferocity of her delivery.”\n \nOn Copeland’s new album\, Blame It On Eve\, the songs all hit hard\, with jaw-dropping performances that instantly take hold and command repeated listening. “There’s serious business on the new album\,” Copeland says\, “but there are a lot of smiles here too\, a lot of joyous moments. It’s my blues for sure but it’s the brighter side. Issues are always important to me\, but so is rocking\, dancing and just having fun. And that’s something we all can all agree on.”\n\nWith Blame It On Eve\, Copeland embarks on what she calls “a vacation from all the heaviness.” Blame It On Eve contains plenty of Copeland’s trademark bold and courageous songs\, but here Copeland is also looking to unplug from the weight of the world. “My last three records have dealt with breaking news\,” she says. “This record is for people like me who want a break from the news.”

SUMMARY:Performance:Ann Arbor Django Reinhardt Festival
DESCRIPTION:The 2nd annual Ann Arbor Django Reinhardt Festival features host band Djangophonique and their new material with the latest addition to the ensemble\, vocalist Katie Smith\, along with other midwestern musicians who draw inspiration from the Django lineage. Christo Rupenthal's Novelty Combo from Madison\, WI\, brings a fusion of antique Hawaiian steel guitar and hot club music\, and Erik McIntyre from Flint\, MI will be playing early American archtop guitar influenced by musicians such as Eddie Lang\, whose recordings with violinist Joe Venuti served as the blueprint for Reinhardt and Grapelli's work. With a range of diverse offerings\, united together by enthusiasm\, skill\, and passion for the legacy surrounding the music of Django Reinhardt\, this iteration of Ann Arbor's burgeoning new series is sure to delight\, transport\, and inspire.\n  \nDjangophonique is an award winning project that delivers the infectious joy\, and expressive freedom that is at the heart of Django Reinhardt’s jazz manouche. With respect for the tradition and a fearless creativity that bends the conventions of the style\, Djangophonique is keeping the Hot Club revival alive and well. The result is a sound that’s unmistakable to fans of the music\, and alluring to the uninitiated—a sound that can bring the lively energy of a Parisian dance hall to the quietest listening room or captivate a buzzing festival audience with the aching nostalgia of a shimmering ballad.\n  \nChristo Ruppenthal is an award-winning multi-instrumentalist and music entrepreneur whose professional career started in 2003.  He presents a unique mixture of Vaudeville-era novelty infused hot steel guitar playing from the 1920s and 30s \"Hawaiian Craze\" combined with the swinging sounds of Django Reinhardt’s 1930s and 40s guitar-driven Hot Club jazz. Think “Hot Hawaiian guitar meets Jazz à la Django!” Christo is an avid recording artist and performer with thousands of gigs both across the U.S. and internationally to his credit. \n\nInspired by a melting pot of moods\, styles\, and spirit heard in recordings from the 1920s and 30s (by such artists as Eddie Lang\, Louis Armstrong\, Blind Blake\, Lonnie Johnson\, Billie Holiday\, Django Reinhardt\, Blind Boy Fuller\, Agustín Barrios Mangoré\, The Carter Family\, Jimmie Rodgers...)\, Erik McIntyre continues to hone a distinct musical voice that pays homage with a personal touch. His playing is spontaneous yet studious — synergizing  “muse” and “ic”. Whether as soloist or sideman\, his arrangements\, improvisations\, and compositions weave a tapestry that is filtered through a warm lens of nostalgia and invites listeners to his inner world.

The son of a Tulane University professor\, he was taught the rudiments of instrumentation by his uncle on his mother’s ukulele. “I’d loved acoustic music – specifically the blues – ever since I first heard Lightnin’ Hopkins’ Blues In My Bottle album.” Chris says\, “I couldn’t believe the sound Hopkins got. At first I thought it was two guys playing guitar. My style\, to a degree\, came out of trying to imitate that sound I heard.” His music draws deeply from the blues\, American folk music\, modern poets\, and humanist philosophers.\n\nChris comes to The Ark in support of his 20th album\, “All About the Bones” (release date: May 3\, 2024 on Signature Sounds/Mighty Albert\, distributed by Redeye). Featuring eight brand new Chris Smither songs and Smither renditions of Eliza Gilkyson’s “Calm Before the Storm” and also Tom Petty’s “Time to Move On”\, the listener is welcomed into some gothic mansion on an imaginary New Orleans street\, and there in the lamplit parlor confronts the band\, a minimalist skeleton crew: Smither’s inimitable propulsive guitar and rumbling baritone are joined seamlessly to producer David Goodrich’s carpetbag of instruments\, Zak Trojano’s rock-steady\, primal drumming\, BettySoo’s diaphanous harmony vocals\, and the flat\, mournful flood of Jazz legend Chris Cheek’s saxophone. Recorded at Sonelab Studios in Easthampton MA by Justin Pizzoferrato “All About the Bones” has a feel that is somehow baroque and austere at once.\n \nhttps://smither.com/

SUMMARY:Performance:The Tannahill Weavers
DESCRIPTION:Born of a session in Paisley\, Scotland\, and named for the town's historic weaving industry and local poet laureate Robert Tannahill\, the Tannahill Weavers have made an international name for their special brand of Celtic music\, blending the beauty of traditional melodies with the power of modern rhythms. Now in their 53rd year\, the Tannahill Weavers are one of the world's premier traditional Celtic bands\, their diverse repertoire spans the centuries with fire-driven instrumentals\, topical songs\, original ballads and lullabies\, and humorous tales of life in Scotland.\n\nIn 2021 they were joined by exciting piper and fiddle player Iain MacGillivray\, who is also Scotland's youngest Clan leader. Iain\, a fluent Gaelic speaker\, has worked on such exciting productions as Outlander and Men in Kilts\, and has performed for a huge list of stars and dignitaries in recent years. As the band celebrate the nomination of their 18th recording\, Òrach (“Golden” in Gaelic) as album of the year\, and themselves as band of the year\, they are firmly established as one of the premier groups on the concert stage. From reflective ballads to foot-stomping reels and jigs\, the variety and range of the material they perform is matched only by their enthusiasm and lively Celtic spirits.\n\nhttps://tannahillweavers.com/home

SUMMARY:Performance:Donna The Buffalo
DESCRIPTION:Donna The Buffalo is not just a band\, rather one might say that Donna The Buffalo has become a lifestyle for its members and audiences. Since 1989\, the roots rockers have played thousands of shows and countless festivals including Bonnaroo\, Newport Folk Festival\, Telluride\, Austin City Limits Festival\, Merle Fest\, and Philadelphia Folk Festival. They’ve opened for The Dead and have toured with Peter Rowan\, Del McCoury\, Los Lobos\, Little Feat\, Jim Lauderdale\, Rusted Root\, and Railroad Earth to name a few. They also toured with Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Ben Cohen to help raise awareness about increased corporate spending in politics.  \n\nIn 1991\,the band started the Finger Lakes Grassroots Festival in Trumansburg\, NY. The four day festival has become an annual destination for over 15\,000 music lovers every year and was started as an AIDS benefit. It continues as a benefit for arts and education. To date\, the event has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars and is now one of three Grassroots Festivals\; the Bi-annual Shakori Hills fest in North Carolina and Virginia Key festival in Florida. In 2016 GrassRoots Culture Camp was introduced in Trumansburg\, New York as four days of music\, art\, dance and movement workshops\, including nightly dinners and dances.\n\nhttps://www.donnathebuffalo.com/

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:A radical approach: Paramagnetic Ni and Pd species in organometallic catalysis
DESCRIPTION:Paramagnetic Ni and Pd complexes have been proposed to play an important role in several organometallic reactions\, as well as small molecule activation processes. In this context\, a series of uncommon organometallic Ni(III) and Pd(III) complexes relevant to cross-coupling reactions have been isolated and their catalytic reactivity was studied in detail. More recently\, unique mononuclear Ni(I) and Pd(I) complexes have been developed and their reactivity was probed for the first time. Finally\, the intermediacy of such paramagnetic Ni  and Pd species in various organometallic reactions will be discussed.

SUMMARY:Performance:Kaitlin Butts
DESCRIPTION:A truly one-of-a-kind artist\, Kaitlin Butts has a deep affinity for country music’s more theatrical side: the extravagant storytelling\, dazzling showmanship\, songs embedded with both unbridled emotion and quick-fire humor. After discovering her passion for performing as a little girl\, the Tulsa native later brought her boundless energy and radiant voice to her own unapologetic yet soulful songwriting. When it came time to create her third album\, the Nashville-based musician leaned into her lifelong love of musical theater and dreamed up a modern-day reimagining of the soundtrack to her all-time favorite musical\, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Oklahoma! The result: a high-concept but candidly autobiographical LP called Roadrunner!\, whose 17 powerhouse songs show the full force and extraordinary depth of Butts’ artistry for the very first time.\n\nProduced by Oran Thornton (Brent Cobb\, Logan Brill)\, Roadrunner! marks a major tonal shift from Butts’ 2022 sophomore LP what else can she do\, a character-driven exploration of complex matters like addiction\, domestic violence\, and generational trauma. “With the last album I wanted to write about the struggles I’d seen people go through or experienced myself\, so a lot of the songs had a sadness or darkness to them\,” she says. “I feel like Roadrunner! is much closer to what I’m like onstage\, where there’s real emotion and truth but also humor and a tendency to poke fun. It’s all those different versions of me at once.” Roadrunner! ultimately matches that multidimensionality with a lush and fiery sound informed by Butts’ eclectic influences (outlaw country\, strong-minded country-pop\, timeless rock-and-roll\, and more).\n\nhttps://www.kaitlinbutts.com/

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Illuminating metal ions in the gut microbiota
DESCRIPTION:Essential metal ions like zinc\, copper\, and iron have a broad range of signaling\, stabilizing\, and catalytic functions across all living systems. The gut microbiota typically acquires these metals through the host diet but must be able to adapt to dietary fluctuations. Many studies link changes in available metal nutrients to alterations in bacterial colonization\, pathogen resistance\, and gut microbiota community composition but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Our research program revolves around elucidating fundamental molecular mechanisms by which metals affect the microbiota. This talk will focus on our efforts to develop metal ion biosensors for illuminating metals within complex bacterial communities. We are investigating a series of cofactor-based fluorescent proteins that emit wavelengths ranging from green to the near-infrared and which\, unlike green fluorescent proteins and their variants\, do not rely on oxygen. I will cover how our group is re-engineering these proteins to develop novel sensors for zinc and copper. Application of these sensors to live bacteria and opportunities for their use in gut microbiota models will be discussed. I will also present our progress investigating how metal ions affect growth and cell interactions of the Lactobacillaceae family of bacteria\, which are crucial members of the gut microbiota.

SUMMARY:Performance:Shawn Mullins
DESCRIPTION:After a series of indie releases and growing buzz in the Atlanta music scene\, Shawn Mullins’ critical and commercial breakthrough came when 1998 Soul’s Core shot him to fame on the strength of Grammy-nominated No. 1 hit\, “Lullaby” followed by AAA/Americana No. 1 hit “Beautiful Wreck” from 2006’s 9th Ward Pickin’ Parlor. His song\, “Shimmer” was used in promotion of the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney and was included on the Dawson’s Creek soundtrack. His co-write “All in My Head” from 2008’s Honeydew was featured in episode one of the hit TV sitcom “Scrubs.” Mullins also co-wrote the Zac Brown Band’s No. 1 country tune “Toes.” In early 2002\, he formed supergroup The Thorns with Matthew Sweet and Pete Droge. “No Blue Sky” from the resulting album\, is a modern day classic. \n\nFor the 20th anniversary of his breakthrough album\, Shawn revisited the music of Soul’s Core by recording two new versions of the album. He calls this Soul’s Core Revival. This is not a remix or a remaster of the original\, but rather brand new recordings with new arrangements of the songs – one album is stripped down solo performances\, some on guitar\, some on piano and maybe one a cappella and the second is a new studio recording with his full band\, Soul Carnival.\n \nhttps://shawnmullins.com/

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Simulating Chemistry on Bosonic Quantum Devices
DESCRIPTION:Bosonic quantum devices offer a novel approach to realize quantum computations\, where the quantum two-level system (qubit) is replaced with the quantum (an)harmonic oscillator (qumode) as the fundamental building block of the quantum simulator. The simulation of chemical structure and dynamics can then be achieved by representing or mapping the system Hamiltonians in terms of bosonic operators. In this talk\, we review recent progress and future potential of using bosonic quantum devices for addressing a wide range of challenging chemical problems\, including the calculation of molecular vibronic spectra\, the simulation of gas-phase and solution-phase adiabatic and nonadiabatic chemical dynamics\, the efficient solution of molecular graph theory problems\, and the calculations of electronic structure.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Activation of L-histidine biosynthesis as a new antibiotic strategy against Mycobacterium tuberculosis
DESCRIPTION:The increasing prevalence of antimicrobial resistance is an important challenge that warrants new approaches to antibiotic development. Currently\, all antibiotics inhibit biological processes. To explore whether activation of a biochemical pathway can elicit bactericidal effects we engineered variants of Mycobacterium tuberculosis ATP-phosphoribosyltransferase (ATP-PRT) that are resistant to allosteric inhibition by L-histidine\, leading to supraphysiological activation of ATP-PRT and L-histidine overproduction. Upregulation of L-histidine biosynthesis significantly reduces the growth of M. tuberculosis in culture and causes a loss of fitness owing to nutrient and energy depletion. Moreover\, the expression of allosteric variants in M. tuberculosis significantly reduced infections in human macrophages and in a mouse model of infection. Thus\, metabolic activation is a new bactericidal mechanism that could be applied to antibiotic discovery more generally.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Imaging and control of cellular chemistry with high spatiotemporal precision
DESCRIPTION:An in-depth understanding of cell functions and behaviors requires the ability to visualize and control biological processes in living cells. Optical imaging techniques have seen remarkable advancements over the past several decades\, allowing scientists to achieve high-resolution mapping of physical and chemical properties within biological systems. Coherent Raman scattering (CRS) microscopy\, in particular\, stands out for its capability to image chemical compositions such as lipids within biological environments. The first part of this talk will focus on the recent technological advancements and biological discoveries made by my research group using CRS and fluorescence microscopy.\nBeyond imaging\, our research has pioneered the development of real-time precision opto-control (RPOC)\, a cutting-edge technology designed to precisely manipulate biological processes with high spatial and temporal accuracy. RPOC represents a significant advancement in optical control\, offering unmatched levels of precision\, speed\, selectivity\, and adaptability. This technology enables a wide array of capabilities\, including the targeted generation of reactive oxygen species\, drug activation within specific cellular compartments\, precise photo-uncaging\, regulation of cell division and survival\, and the selective elimination of unwanted cells in a population. In the second part of this presentation\, I will delve into the history\, underlying principles\, and recent advancements of RPOC technology\, illustrating its applications in biological and medical research through various examples.

SUMMARY:Performance:Lady Lamb
DESCRIPTION:From her early days\, staying late after-hours at her video rental store job in Maine to record songs\, to co-producing and arranging her four studio records\, Aly Spaltro has remained focused on music that connects\, empowers and builds community. She built her fanship the old-fashioned way\, getting in front of audiences and projecting her poetic confessionals\, silencing rowdy crowds with an a cappella opening song in the center of a dark stage. Spaltro was quick to develop a reputation as a breakout star in New England\, and then expanded slowly outwards\, moving to New York at twenty to continue work on the songs that would become Ripely Pine. Her voice has never wavered\, has grown more honest and open with time\, and anyone witnessing the long lines of fans seeking signatures after her performances can see how her work has impacted fans. Her live shows are revelations\, a further deep dive into what makes Ripely Pine such a mainstay.\n\nSpaltro is celebrating ten years of Ripely Pine with the release of a 5xLP Box Set\, IN THE MAMMOTH NOTHING OF THE NIGHT out August 18 on Ba Da Bing Records. With the original songs remastered\, as well as reams of additional material produced and arranged by Spaltro and mixed by original co- producer Nadim Issa\, IN THE MAMMOTH NOTHING OF THE NIGHT captures the time\, mood\, art and ambition of Aly Spaltro in her early twenties\, who had already accumulated years of playing and self-recording experience before laying down tracks for this giant of a debut.\n\n“I wrote some of these songs when I was 18\, learning how to play the instruments and record with my digital 8-track along the way\,” Spaltro says\, reflecting on the time. She talks about IN THE MAMMOTH NOTHING OF THE NIGHT with a sense of a mission. “These tracks have haunted me\, because they haven’t had a home for all these years. I found all these alternate track listings in my notebooks. Any of them could have ended up on the record\,” Spaltro says. “This box set is a way to honor that whole time\, the beginning of the path of my life.

SUMMARY:Performance:Parker Millsap & Nat Myers
DESCRIPTION:Parker Millsap quickly made a name for himself with his captivating live performances\, soulful sound\, and character-driven narratives. He’s had a string of successes including an appearance on CONAN\, a performance with Elton John at the Apple Music Festival\, an Austin City Limits taping & an Americana Music Association nomination for Album of the Year.\n\nA poet with a staggering and true voice\, Korean-American troubadour Nat Myers' folksy blues and remarkable pickin' are authentic\, timeless\, and enduring.

SUMMARY:Performance:Frances Luke Accord
DESCRIPTION:When Nicholas Gunty and Brian Powers put their songs and voices together\, there is a delicate magic that commands the room to attention. The duo is known as Frances Luke Accord\, and their soft\, contemplative vintage indie-folk gestures toward a timelessness that honors the Simon & Garfunkel comparisons but pushes beyond into the world of Bon Iver\, Jose Gonzalez\, and progressive folk music.\n\nBoth raised in South Bend\, IN\, Gunty and Powers met and began performing together during their time at the University of Notre Dame. Their first release\, Kandote\, was a bold intercultural collaboration with the Barefoot Truth Children’s Choir in Uganda\, a not-for-profit effort which continues to support the choir to this day. Relocating to Chicago in 2013\, the duo honed their songwriting craft while releasing two more self-produced EPs\, laying the groundwork for their breakthrough debut full-length\, “Fluke\,” in 2016. This immersive\, philosophically rich album set them off on their first national tour\, which included support dates with Darlingside\, Anaïs Mitchell\, and The Ballroom Thieves.\n\nThe duo released\, “Sunnyside EP” in 2021 which offered a glimpse into the body of work Frances Luke Accord had been developing during the Covid pandemic. Their long-awaited sophomore LP “Safe in Sound” arrived in 2023. They look forward to sharing it with audiences in 2024!\n\nhttps://www.franceslukeaccord.com/

SUMMARY:Performance:Oliver Hazard with special guest Scott Mulvahill
DESCRIPTION:The story of Waterville\, OH indie-folk trio Oliver Hazard - ​​Michael Belazis (vocals\, guitar) and Devin East (vocals\, guitar)\, joined by Nate Miner (keys\, vocals) - is the digital age’s version of classic band mythmaking. One member of the band came home to Ohio after leading camping trips in California and decided to make an album with two childhood friends. They won a Facebook raffle to record one song at a studio. Instead\, they played their whole album straight through once\, resulting in their debut LP 34 N River (2018). The Fader called the album a “folk-pop masterpiece” and the band was booked at Bonnaroo and Mountain Jam shortly thereafter. In 2019\, the band released their 6 track EP\, The Flood\, which Billboard called a “souvenir.” This brings the band to their sophomore\, self-titled album (July 2023)\, featuring music from the band’s recent Northern Lights EP\, plus five additional songs.\n\nhttps://www.olihazard.com/

SUMMARY:Performance:Donovan Woods
DESCRIPTION:Since he released his first album a decade ago\, singer-songwriter Donovan Woods’ blend of folk\, country and pop has resonated with audiences all over the world.\n\nThroughout his distinguished career\, Donovan Woods has built a devoted following who cling to the acclaimed songwriter’s every word. Never one to mince words\, Woods is one of music’s most vulnerable storytellers and on his forthcoming studio album\, Donovan takes that a step further. Honest and unflinching\, on Things Were Never Good If They’re Not Good Now\, his upcoming seventh studio album\, Woods takes a long look inside and isn’t necessarily thrilled with what he sees. For an artist who isn’t afraid to bear his soul\, this is as emotionally gritty as he has ever been.\n\nLong known as a masterful storyteller\, Woods is at his absolute best on Things Were Never Good If They’re Not Good Now. Across the album’s 12 sparse\, intimate songs\, Woods finds himself reflecting on the ups and downs he has been through since 2020. His writing allowed him to open up and address the complexities of life that he has been going through.\n\nDonovan Woods has partnered with PLUS1 to donate $1 from every ticket to MusiCares: music's leading national charity that provides a safety net in times of need\, and supports the overall health and well-being of the music community.\n\nhttps://www.donovanwoods.net/

SUMMARY:Performance:Rachael Yamagata - Unseen Hearts Tour
DESCRIPTION:Rachael Yamagata would defend you in a bar fight and then invite everyone out to stargaze in the parking lot. She’s a wilderness guide for wanderers\, a galactic diplomat\, a dreamscape designer\, a heartache survivalist\, a pioneer. She speaks to the misfits\, the soul searchers\, the silent types longing to be cracked open. A vocal shapeshifter\, she delivers live shows that spark both playful giddiness and profound catharsis. But Yamagata is not here to heal you—she's here to show you how to heal yourself.\n \nEach record has marked a graduation for pivotal life moments. ‘Happenstance’ (2004) chronicled romantic heartaches. ‘Elephants...Teeth Sinking Into Heart’ (2008) delved deeper into loss and broken promises\, ushering in the confidence of ‘Chesapeake’ (2011). Going DIY\, Yamagata found freedom\, mixing lighter love songs with deep dives into what threatens and ultimately strengthens us. ‘Tightrope Walker’ (2016) expanded into resilience\, empowerment\, and forgiveness.\n\nHer new record (yet to be titled) emerges from this lineage with a dare: sink or swim. Grounded by soul-stirring lyrics like “All of our best laid plans washed away like plastic in the sand” (\"Empty Houses\") it also winks at new dimensions\, suggesting worlds beyond our reach with “The galaxy members are waiting for us/ they learn from our failures and they’re sending us love” (“Galaxy”). This new record sees Yamagata as an emotional archivist\, chronicling loneliness and connection and urging us to see our breaking points as opportunities to build something new.

SUMMARY:Performance:Carbon Leaf
DESCRIPTION:High-energy rock\, folk\, Celtic\, bluegrass\, Americana and more!\n\nCarbon Leaf’s fifteenth studio album\, Time is the Playground\, is both a call to action and an embrace of the moment. Marrying nostalgic storytelling to nuanced\, folk-infused indie rock\, the Richmond\, Virginia band embroiders heartfelt melody and harmony with acoustic and electric instrumentation to create a 12-song rumination on time\, love and personal growth that’s equal parts urgent epiphany and contented exhalation.\n\nOriginally formed as a college cover band in 1992 and with over 3\,500 famously enthused live shows together\, Carbon Leaf helped to define the aughts indie rock that they ultimately outgrew and outlasted. They first earned national recognition with “The Boxer\,” a song that won the American Music Awards 2002 New Music Award and made Carbon Leaf the first unsigned band to perform before millions on the AMAs.\n\n“The Boxer” entered regular radio rotation\, Carbon Leaf’s tours grew bigger and better\, and within a couple of years they quit their day jobs and inked a record deal. The band’s fanbase snowballed\, drawn to their infectious spirit of commitment\, empathy\, communion\, and selfreliance – not to mention supremely crafted songs with ultra-relatable\, thought-provoking lyrics.\n\nAfter a trio of charting albums for Vanguard Records\, multiple songwriting awards and headlining shows\, Carbon Leaf opted to return to the complete creative control of their indie roots. Guitarist Terry Clark\, who co-founded the band with Privett and multi-instrumentalist Carter Gravatt\, converted his garage into the band’s Two-Car Studio\, where they’ve recorded releases for their own Constant Ivy imprint ever since. Carbon Leaf’s DIY spirit even extended to re-recording their three Vanguard albums in order to regain the rights.\n\nDue in September\, Time is the Playground is Carbon Leaf’s first full-length album in a decade\, during which they released two EPS and a 27-song live performance album and Blu-ray. Time is the Playground gathers the best of songs written\, in fits and starts\, over 15 years\, alongside brand new ideas. \n\n“Thinking about these disparate pieces of music\, I began ruminating on time itself\,” Privett recalled. “The band’s been together a long time. You mature a bit and see yourself in place on the timeline … rolling around the scenes of love and growth.”\n\nTime is the Playground will be accompanied by the tireless touring almost synonymous with Carbon Leaf\, who’ve become a model for self-managing bands in the digital landscape.

SUMMARY:Performance:Noah Gundersen w/Abby Gundersen
DESCRIPTION:Marking the 10th anniversary of his acclaimed album\, Ledges\, Noah Gundersen will play intimate\, stripped-back shows with his sister Abby Gundersen playing fiddle. \n\nIt’s a strange thing to have a living artifact of your younger self. To observe the manifestations of a younger you’s inner life. To be honest\, it’s often cringy and anxiety inducing. With the benefit of hindsight\, our shortsightedness and misplaced fears and hopes seem so obvious. \n\nAs I look back\, ten years later\, to the person I was when I made Ledges\, I see a young man full of ambition and naivety\, desperate for validation and a sense of belonging. I see a boy with a singular vision and a hell of a lot to learn. \n\nThey say you have your whole life to make your first record and 18 months to make your second. Although Ledges isn’t technically my first album\, for all intents and purposes\, it feels like it. It was the one I spent years writing. Some songs were written on a mattress on the floor of a rented room I shared with a friend\, in a run down old house I moved into when I left my folks place at 17. Some I wrote in my first apartment in Seattle. One was written in the early hours of the morning\, waking up on a friend's couch to a simple\, beautiful piano arrangement Abby wrote. One\, after the unexpected heroin overdose that resulted in the death of a friend. Another\, after briefly reigniting an old flame\, only to watch it quickly burn out. \n\nEverything was new back then. The colors were brighter\, the highs higher\, the lows lower. Falling in love felt like the first time. Heartbreak felt like the end of the world. Ideas felt important and the future was a big\, empty canvas.\n\nThere’s a lot of self importance in all of this and ultimately this is just some record that some kid made. But to that kid this record felt like his whole world. And like all records\, it’s a little snapshot in time. And how lucky we are to have snapshots\, photographs of moments and memories that ground us in the reality we’ve lived.\n\nI don’t want to live in the past. But I’m grateful for this marker of how it once was. A little simpler\, a little cleaner\, a whole lot of potential. And maybe that’s a reminder that I’m living in that potential\, right now. This is the future I imagined and hoped for. This is the person I am now. And it’s nice to be able to look back and see how far I’ve come. And if you found this record 10 years ago\, I hope you can listen back with the same gentle hindsight.\n\nVIP ticket includes:\n\nOne General Admission ticket\nPre-show acoustic performance (requests allowed!)\nOpportunity for Q&A with Noah\nAutographed setlist\nExclusive tour poster\, signed by Noah\nCommemorative VIP laminate\nEarly entry to the venue\n\nhttps://www.noahgundersen.com/

SUMMARY:Performance:Both Sides Now: The Music and Lives of Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen
DESCRIPTION:With these words\, we are drawn into the world of Both Sides Now\, a theatrical concert that explores the music and lives of long-time friends and one-time lovers\, Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen. Created by\, and starring Robbie Schaefer and Danielle Wertz\, the cabaret-style performance travels decades alongside songs such as A Case of You\, Hallelujah\, Big Yellow Taxi\, Suzanne\, and many more. Both Sides Now is at once a piece of the 60’s and 70’s\, and of right now--offering us a story about the messiness of being human\, of lives persistently lived at the edge of growth\, and of finding the courage to turn toward one another\, again and again. \n\nhttps://robbieschaefer.com/\nhttp://www.daniellewertz.com/

SUMMARY:Performance:Sixpence None the Richer w/sg Kylee Phillips
DESCRIPTION:Sixpence None the Richer began taking shape in New Braunfels\, Texas in the early ‘90s\, when guitarist Matt Slocum met vocalist Leigh Nash at a church retreat. The group recorded a demo before eventually signing with R.E.X. Records. Their debut LP\, The Fatherless & the Widow\, appeared in 1993 and their sophomore effort\, 1995’s This Beautiful Mess won a Dove Award and was followed by the Tickets for a Prayer Wheel EP. \n\nIn 1997\, Sixpence None the Richer released their self-titled album and two years later exploded globally when the track “Kiss Me”\, from that album\, was released as a single. The song has been featured in countless movies and TV shows and catapulted Sixpence None the Richer’s starpower into the mainstream\, earning airplay in more than ten different countries.\n\nAccolades continued as the band’s rendition of the La’s “There She Goes” also became a major hit. In fall 2002\, Sixpence None the Richer returned to form with Divine Discontent. The band’s cover of the Crowded House classic “Don’t Dream It’s Over” pushed Sixpence None the Richer’s name back into the charts in early 2003. Although the group quietly disbanded in 2004\, they remained active as individuals and continued to release music periodically\, including the albums Dawn of Grace and Lost in Transition.\n\nFast forward to 2024 and all-original members (Leigh Nash\, Matt Slocum\, Dale Baker\, and Justin Cary) have reunited and are writing and recording new music and preparing for a world tour. As a taste of the new music\, you can hear “The Tide” released in late 2023 as Leigh Nash + Sixpence None The Richer\, which has already amassed over 2 Million views and streams across platforms. Curb Records is also celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the band’s self-titled (Kiss Me) album by re-releasing it in a collectible vinyl series that also features the new track\, “The Tide”.\n\nSixpence None The Richer has helped shape the musical landscape across generations and are gearing up for an exciting road ahead.\n\nhttps://www.sixpencenonethericher.com/

SUMMARY:Performance:Steve Poltz
DESCRIPTION:Steve Poltz is not normal. He was born in Halifax\, Nova Scotia\, but has lived most of his life in southern California\, and those geographic poles are quite likely responsible for his unhinged genius. With a cult following that includes fellow musicians\, regular folks and festival goers who stumble onto his performances\, there’s no common denominator to Steve’s fans. Steve toured and recorded with San Diego cult favorites The Rugburns (they still play annual sold-out reunion shows). But it was through his creative partnership with Jewel that he vaulted into the national spotlight\; co-writing her multiplatinum Billboard Hot 100-busting smash\, “You Were Meant For Me\,” and continues to work with her to this day.\n\nOver the years\, Steve has built a fascinating solo catalog. No Depression crowned him\, \"A sardonic provocateur with a lighthearted acoustic-driven wit\, suggesting at times a sunnier\, less psychedelic Todd Snider\, or maybe a less wan\, washed Jackson Brown.” Among other collaborations\, GRAMMY-winning bluegrass phenom Billy Strings tapped him to co-write “Leaders” on 2021’s Renewal and he’s co-written with Molly Tuttle\, Sierra Hull\, Nicki Bluhm\, Oliver Wood and even Mojo Nixon.\n\nSteve’s newest album is Stardust & Satellites\, produced by Oliver Wood and Jano Rix of The Wood Brothers.

SUMMARY:Performance:Yasmin Williams
DESCRIPTION:Based in Alexandria\, VA\, Yasmin Williams is an acoustic fingerstyle guitarist and film composer. She has an unorthodox\, modern style of guitar playing and utilizes various techniques including alternate tunings\, percussive hits\, and lap tapping in her music to great effect. Her “radiant sound and adventitious origins have made her a key figure in a diverse dawn for the solo guitar” (The New York Times). Williams’s music has been described as rich\, harmonious\, and “in a lot of ways\, the joy and possibility she brings to the guitar reminds me more of Eddie Van Halen than any of the other fingerstyle guitarists to whom she's compared” (NPR Music).\n\nHer latest album\, Urban Driftwood\, has received critical acclaim from numerous major publications including The New York Times\, Pitchfork\, Rolling Stone\, The Washington Post\, NPR Music\, The Fader\, Wallstreet Journal\, AllMusic\, Paste Magazine\, No Depression\, and several other outlets. She was listed as one of the “25 New and Rising Artists Shaping the Future of Music in 2023” by Pitchfork. Most recently\, Williams signed to Nonesuch Records and released a new single\, titled Dawning\, featuring Aoife O’Donovan on vocals\, Kafari on rhythm bones\, and Nic Gareiss on flat foot percussion.\n \nhttps://www.yasminwilliamsmusic.com/

SUMMARY:Performance:Trace Bundy
DESCRIPTION:Internationally-acclaimed guitar virtuoso Trace Bundy must be seen\, not just heard. His music is poetry in motion\, using harmonics\, looping\, multiple capos\, and his unique banter and stage presence to deliver an unforgettable live concert experience. Listening to his intricate arrangements is one thing\, but seeing the fan-dubbed “Acoustic Ninja” play live confounds even the most accomplished music lovers as to how one person can do all that with just two hands and ten fingers.\n\nBundy’s unique career has brought him across the world\, with concerts in 28 countries and counting – from high-tech performance halls in South Korea and Italy\, to remote villages in Zimbabwe and Guatemala. He has independently sold over 150\,000 albums on his record label\, Honest Ninja Music. His video clips circulate virally at astonishing speed\, with over 45 million YouTube views to date.\nDave Kirby from the Boulder Weekly says “Possessing a staggering acoustic technique\, on both right and left sides\, Bundy has made his reputation as a next generation solo guitarist of serious repute.”\n\nAudiocast Magazine from Austin\, TX agrees: “Bundy’s live show is without a doubt an event that needs to be witnessed rather than told about. With such a jaw-dropping performance\, Bundy’s live concert is a slap in the face that would leave a palm print on the memory of everyone in the audience.”\n\nhttps://tracebundy.com/

SUMMARY:Performance:Dave Alvin & Jimmie Dale Gilmore with The Guilty Ones
DESCRIPTION:When Grammy winner Dave Alvin and Grammy nominee Jimmie Dale Gilmore made the album Downey To Lubbock together in 2018\, they wrote the title track as a sort of mission statement. “I know someday this old highway’s gonna come to an end\,” Alvin sings near the song’s conclusion. Gilmore answers: “But I know when it does you’re going to be my friend.” Six years later\, they’re serving notice that the old highway hasn’t ended yet. “We’re still standing\, no matter what you might hear\,” they sing on “We’re Still Here\,” the final track to their new album Texicali. Due out Jun 21\, 2024 on Yep Roc Records\, Texicali continues to bridge the distance between the two troubadours’ respective home bases of California (Alvin) and Texas (Gilmore).\n\nThe album’s geographic theme reflects Alvin’s repeated journeys to record in Central Texas with Gilmore and the Austin-based backing band that has toured with the duo for the past few years. The 11 songs on Texicali also connect the duo’s shared fondness for a broad range of American music forms. On their own\, both have been prominent artists for decades. A philosophical songwriter with a captivating\, almost mystical voice\, Gilmore co-founded influential Lubbock group the Flatlanders in the early 1970s. Alvin first drew attention as a firebrand guitarist and budding young songwriter with Los Angeles roots-rockers the Blasters in the early 1980s.\n\nGilmore is primarily known for left-of-center country music\, while Alvin’s compass points largely toward old-school blues. But there’s a lot of ground to cover beyond those foundations\, and both artists also are well-known for transcending genre limitations. So it’s not surprising that they’ve spiked Texicali with cosmic folk narratives\, deep R&B grooves and even swinging reggae rhythms. \n\nhttps://www.jimmiedalegilmore.com/\nhttps://www.davealvin.net/

SUMMARY:Performance:Natalie & Brittany Haas with Nic Gareiss
DESCRIPTION:Sisters Natalie (cello) and Brittany (fiddle) Haas began their musical lives together\, filling their childhood home with Bach suites and old-time tunes alike. It was on their own\, however-following divergent paths through disparate musical traditions\, countries\, and cultures-that they both arrived as virtuosi and composers at the highest levels of contemporary string music. Fans of acoustic music can hardly mention one without referencing the other's work. With HAAS\, these singular musicians finally record together - in duo form - for the first time. It is a collaboration a lifetime in the making\, and a music encompassing travels through time and through the world From Nashville to Norway\, the Celtic Isles to California\, Natalie and Brittany have absorbed\, adapted\, and made their own world of music. The result? HAAS.\n\nNamed one of Dance Magazine’s “25 to Watch\,” Nic Gareiss (he/they) has been hailed by the New York Times for his “dexterous melding of Irish and Appalachian dance” and called “the most inventive and expressive step dancer on the scene” by the Boston Herald. Nic has earned numerous accolades including a Canadian Folk Music Award nomination for traditional singer of the year and the Michigan Heritage Award\, the state's highest distinction bestowed on traditional artists. Always jubilant\, often puckishly queer\, Nic Gareiss has emerged as one of the most beloved and singular performers of contemporary traditional dance and music.\n\nhttps://www.brittanyhaas.com/\nhttps://www.nataliehaas.com/\nhttps://www.nicgareiss.com/

SUMMARY:Performance:Andrew Marlin Stringband
DESCRIPTION:You might expect a band that calls itself Yarn to\, naturally\, tend to spin a yarn or two. “That’s what we do\, we tell stories\, live and in the studio\, truth and fiction”\, singer/songwriter Blake Christiana insists. “We don’t always opt for consistency. There’s a different vibe onstage from what comes through in our recordings. There’s a difference in every show as well\, you never know what you’re going to get.”\n\nYarn’s ability to persevere ought to come as no great surprise\, especially for a band that spent two years honing their chops during a Monday night residency at the famed Kenny’s Castaway in New York’s Greenwich Village. In effect\, it allowed them to rehearse onstage\, mostly in front of audiences that often ranged in size from five to a hundred people on any given night. 10 studio albums followed. The band then took to the road\, playing upwards of 170 shows a year at any number of prestigious venues. They have landed on the Grammy ballot 4 times\, garnered nods from the Americana Music Association\, placed top five on both Radio and Records and the AMA album charts\, been streamed millions of times on Spotify\, and accorded the “Download of the Day” from Rolling Stone. Shine the Light On found shared songwriting credits with John Oates (the Oates of Hall & Oates fame)\, and when audiences expressed their admiration\, it brought the band a populist cult following of diehard devotees\, popularly known as “the Yarmy.”  \n\nIt’s proof positive that the Brooklyn and Raleigh based band have made their mark\, and in dealing with their emotions\, scars and circumstances\, they find themselves in a position to share those experiences with others who have juggled similar sentiments.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Elving Lecture with Lingjun Li
DESCRIPTION:Title: Advancing Biomedical Research via Innovation in Mass Spectrometry (MS)-based Approaches\nAbstract: Comprehensive characterization of all signaling molecules in a biological system with chemical\, spatial and temporal information is often critical to deciphering their functional roles\, yet it poses a daunting challenge. In this presentation\, I will present our recent progress on the development of a multi-faceted mass spectrometry (MS)-based analytical platform to probe neuronal signaling with enhanced sensitivity and selectivity.  By combining chemical labeling\, micro-scale separation\, and tandem MS sequencing techniques\, we discovered more than 300 novel neuropeptides in several model organisms.  Moreover\, both mass spectrometric imaging (MSI) technology and in vivo microdialysis sampling tools have been developed and implemented to follow neuropeptide distribution and secretion with unprecedented details.  Additionally\, several in situ chemical derivatization strategies have been developed to enable spatial mapping of various biomolecules including lipids and glycans in complex biological samples\, such as human cell lines and cancer tissue samples.  Recent progress towards single-cell lipidomics enabled by dual-polarity ionization and ion mobility MS imaging will be highlighted as well.\nFurthermore\, we are developing multiplexed isobaric and isotopic tagging strategies to discover\, identify and evaluate candidate biomarkers of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in cerebrospinal fluids (CSFs) obtained from asymptomatic cognitively-healthy middle-aged adults\, older cognitively-normal adults\, and patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and AD.  A large-scale comparative glycoproteomic analysis via the 12-plex DiLeu (N\,N-dimethyl leucine) tagging strategy revealed distinct glycosylation patterns and dynamic changes of certain glycoforms in CSF samples collected from the control\, MCI\, and AD patients. Additionally\, we report on a multiplexed quantitation method for simultaneous proteomics and amine metabolomics analyses via nanoflow reversed phase LC-MS/MS\, exploiting mass defect-based DiLeu (mdDiLeu) labeling.  Several on-going efforts and future perspectives provided by these enabling technologies will be highlighted and discussed.

SUMMARY:Performance:The Bygones
DESCRIPTION:Artist Presale (via Seated): Wednesday\, June 12 @ 10 a.m.\n---\nIt’s human nature to look back\, and to try to make sense of that which has gone by. For the luminous indie folk duo of Joshua Lee Turner and Allison Young\, it’s a question not only of what should be relinquished\, but also what might be worth taking with you. “There’s goodness in every decade of\nmusic. And there’s goodness in every season of life\,” Josh shares. “For us\, it’s about finding what’s golden in the past and bringing that forward.”\n\nThe pair share an eclectic nostalgia for sounds of the past—Jazz and Classical\, Golden Age musicals\, big bands of the ‘40s\, singer-songwriters of the ‘60s\, dewy indie rock of the early 2010s—as well as a passion for instrumental music and covers. These points of connection began online\, culminated in an impromptu recording session in Nashville\, and compelled an unexpected path forward. \n\nThe duo’s first release together\, a cover of Willie Nelson’s “Crazy\,” gathered massive enthusiasm online as well as the fervent demand of one UK promoter that they tour overseas. Josh and Allison accepted the invitation and rushed to record an EP to have something—anything—to play for audiences\, audiences which sold out venues and applauded The (yet-to-be-named) Bygones with standing ovations before they even strummed a note. “It didn’t make any sense\,” Josh says. “We weren’t a band yet.” But to see The Bygones live is to comprehend the hype. Allison’s stylish\, luminescent presence and vocal finesse\, Josh’s astonishing technical aptitude\, and the palpable joy in their onstage dynamic create a live show experience that demands multiple encores. \n\nRather than a band asking the world to listen\, the world asked these two musicians to be a band. Their debut album ‘The Bygones’ was released April 4\, 2024 on Tonetree.\n\nhttps://thebygonesband.com/

DESCRIPTION:In two decades on the road Jeffrey Foucault has become one of the most distinctive voices in American music\, refining a sound instantly recognizable for its simplicity and emotional power. With a string of critically acclaimed studio albums – “Stark\, literate songs that are as wide open as the landscape of his native Midwest” (The New Yorker)\, “Beat-up troubadour folk whittled to dolorous perfection” (Uncut)\, “Songwriting Brilliance\,” (Irish Times) – he’s built a brick-and-mortar international touring career and a devoted following\, one that includes luminaries like Van Dyke Parks\, Greil Marcus\, and Don Henley.\n\nIn September of 2024 Jeffrey Foucault will release THE UNIVERSAL FIRE (Fluff & Gravy\, 9/6/24)\, his first album of entirely new material since 2018. A series of high-voltage performances cut live in one room\, the album is both a working wake – Foucault lost his best friend and drummer Billy Conway\, to cancer in 2021 – and a meditation on the nature of beauty\, artifact\, and loss.\n\nAugmenting Foucault’s all-star band with members of Calexico and Bon Iver (drummer John Convertino and producer/saxophonist Mike Lewis) THE UNIVERSAL FIRE sets Conway’s death against the massive 2008 fire at the Universal Studios lot in California that destroyed the master recordings of some of our bedrock American music\, to interrogate ideas about mortality\, legacy\, meaning\, and calling.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Atomic Ligands on Iron
DESCRIPTION:Atomic ligands are found in key intermediates for a number of enzymatic and heterogeneous catalysis\, such as industrial ammonia synthesis and biological hydrocarbon oxidation. Molecular complexes can provide well-defined molecular models that provide chemical insight into structure and bonding\, spectroscopy\, and reactivity of these often transient species. Synthesis of these complexes is often highly challenging\, and molecular design can play a critical role in enabling access. In a long-standing project\, we have shown that a modular family of strong donor ligands are able to enforce three-fold symmetry at metal ions\, providing a platform for stabilizing iron complexes containing metal-ligand multiple bonds. In early work\, we demonstrated that isolable nitride complexes are active in multielectron nitrogen atom transfer reactions to a variety of substrates\, including unsaturated hydrocarbons. Further elaboration of nitrogen atom transfer as a synthetic strategy has enabled the construction of new ligands and binuclear complexes. More recently\, we have successfully created iron complexes with other multiply bonded atomic ligands\, including oxo\, sulfido and carbide. The accumulating library of complexes provides the foundation for ongoing studies aimed at understanding underlying trends in the fundamental reactions of these multiply bonded atomic ligands.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Reaction Networks of Criegee Intermediates Formed in the Ozonolysis of a Series of Acyclic and Endocyclic Alkenes: Influence of Carbon Chain Length and Reactive Environment
DESCRIPTION:The reaction networks that describe the intricate chemical processes involved in atmospheric and combustion systems are typically dominated by reactive intermediates that usually occur in low concentrations. The identification and quantification of these reactive species within complex reactive mixtures are crucial for developing a fundamental\, chemically accurate description of complex atmospheric and combustion systems. Criegee intermediates (CIs)\, carbonyl oxide reactive intermediates formed during the ozonolysis of unsaturated organic compounds\, possess the unique ability to add both carbon and oxygen mass to the co-reactant through either 1\,3-dipolar cycloaddition or insertion mechanisms. These mechanisms can lead to the production of high-molecular-weight\, low-volatility products\, which have been associated with the formation of secondary organic aerosols (SOA) in just a few reaction steps. Their unimolecular decomposition is recognized as a significant source of OH in the atmosphere.\nThe reaction networks of C1 to C7 CIs formed in the ozone-assisted oxidation reaction of a series of C3 to C7 acyclic and endocyclic alkenes were investigated in an atmospheric pressure jet-stirred reactor to elucidate the influence of CIs carbon number and reactive environment on the distribution of products and the formation of high-molecular-weight\, low-volatility compounds. Molecular beam high-resolution mass spectrometry\, tunable synchrotron single-photon ionization\, and ab initio threshold energy calculations were employed for the detection and identification of gas-phase reactive intermediates and final products. Temperature-dependent analysis employing DART ionization-Orbitrap mass spectrometry was utilized to facilitate the detection of high-molecular-weight\, low-volatility reaction products.\nThe ozone-assisted oxidation of acyclic C3 to C7 alkenes was observed to lead to complex CIs reaction networks that encompass both unimolecular and bimolecular reactions. For instance\, formaldehyde oxide CIs were predominantly observed in the ozone-assisted oxidation of 1-propene and 1-butene\, resulting in the formation of products corresponding to sequential CIs additions to co-products such as water\, alkenes\, aldehydes\, alcohols\, and carboxylic acids. However\, oligomerization did not appear to be favored by increasing the CIs carbon number. Notably\, no evidence for the formation of bimolecular products was observed in the case of long-chain CIs formed in the ozone-assisted oxidation of endocyclic alkenes\, specifically C5 to C7 alkenes. Instead\, long-chain CIs were observed to undergo unimolecular decomposition followed by autooxidation.\nThe outcomes of our research represent a significant advancement in understanding the CIs reactive behavior in complex reactive environments where multiple co-reactants are present. This information provides valuable insights for future kinetic modeling endeavors that can contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the role and reactivity of CIs in the gas-phase to heterogeneous environments.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Molecular Color Centers
DESCRIPTION:The unique combination of atomic-scale tunability\, reproducibility\, and chemical specificity make paramagnetic molecules a paradigm-shifting category of materials for quantum applications. This capability has the potential to be transformative for developing a bespoke quantum ecosystem\, as\, for example\, the requirements for a node within a quantum communications network are distinct and potentially orthogonal to those for a quantum sensor. In one specific example of this approach\, we imbued molecular qubits with the same read-out approach as defect-based systems. Using transition metal chemistry\, we designed the ground state\, excited states and dynamics based on straightforward ligand field analysis. By coupling optical read-out with spatial precision\, we seamlessly integrated a new class of materials with existing read-out technology.

SUMMARY:Performance:Mindy Smith
DESCRIPTION:Good things\, it’s often said\, come to those who wait. And yet\, as one of the great poets of our time also famously observed\, the waiting is the hardest part. Both truths have been proven once again on the journey to singer-songwriter Mindy Smith’s sixth studio album\, Quiet Town\, which brings a treasured musical voice back into the spotlight. \n\nA good rule of thumb when going to a Mindy Smith concert\, bring a hanky\, a tissue or an extra sleeve. Your tear ducts don’t know the difference between laughing tears and crying tears and you’ll likely be doing both. “Humor is how I compensate for singing so many sad tunes back-to-back\,” says Smith. \n\nMindy Smith is a Long Island-born\, Americana award - winning\, Nashville based singer-songwriter with a clear and honest passion for Americana\, jazz\, pop\, rock\, blues\, and folk. As a recording artist\, she has sold over 750k albums and singles and amassed over 175 million streams to date.\n\nHer original songs have been recorded and released by the likes of Alison Krauss\, Lee Ann Womack\, Faith Hill and most recently Danny Burns ft Sam Bush. Most recently\, Smith was the featured vocalist on Kenny Chesney’s charting single\, “Better Boat”.  Says Chesney\, “if you just close your eyes and listen to her voice -- I’m speaking for me --she brings calm\, she brings a sense that it’s all going to be all right”\n\nFans can look forward to hearing new songs from Quiet Town as well as beloved tracks from her previous albums during her live performances.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Professional Cultures and Inequality in STEM
DESCRIPTION:Can the culture of STEM help reproduce inequality? Professional cultures\, which give each discipline its particular “feel” and unite discipline members under a taken-for-granted system of meanings and values\, are not benign. Drawing from several NSF-funded studies\, articles\, and my recent book\, Misconceiving Merit\, I argue that these professional cultures can have built within them intersectional inequalities along gender\, race/ethnicity\, and LGBTQ+ status. I discuss the role of three particular cultural ideologies—the Schema of Scientific Excellence\, Depoliticization\, and the Meritocratic Ideology—in producing these disadvantages. I end by explaining why decisions (e.g. hiring\, promotion) that partially rely on assessments of individuals’ “fit” with professional cultures are particularly important to critically examine for their potential to contribute to inequality.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Probing Electrochemical Reactivity Under Nanoconfinement in Layered Electrode Materials
DESCRIPTION:Electrochemical processes are vital for global decarbonization efforts because they are central to many energy-efficient storage and conversion technologies and can also be leveraged for large scale chemical manufacturing. In the context of these energy applications\, it is necessary to understand factors that control the kinetics and selectivity of electrochemical reactions. At the electrode level\, many factors\, including the chemical composition\, atomic or molecular structure\, surface area\, and morphology\, have been leveraged to direct electrochemical reactions. An emerging strategy is to geometrically confine the electrochemical reaction within a porous electrode material. This places a physical boundary around the electrochemical reaction and thus defines the reaction microenvironment\, while also spatially restricting the reactants and products. Experimental studies of nanoconfinement effects on electrochemical reactions require electrochemical interfaces with well-defined environments. In this presentation\, I will discuss our materials chemistry approach to define the confined electrochemical environment within molecularly pillared transition metal oxides\, and our study of electrochemical reactions taking place within these electrodes using in situ and operando electrochemical methods.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Organometallic Single-Molecule Magnets Containing Radicals and Bismuth
DESCRIPTION:Single-molecule magnets (SMMs) are molecules that possess an energy barrier to spin inversion\, giving rise to slow magnetic relaxation and magnetic hysteresis. To realize their intriguing potential applications\, ranging from molecular spintronics\, quantum computing\, to high-density information storage\, spin-reversal barriers (Ueff) and magnetic blocking temperatures (TB) must be increased. Lanthanide ions are especially well-suited for the design of SMMs due to their large magnetic moments and magnetic anisotropy that originate from strong spin-orbit coupling of the 4f orbitals. One effective methodology to boost blocking temperatures of multinuclear compounds is to generate strong magnetic exchange between lanthanide centers using radical bridging ligands. In the event of strong magnetic exchange coupling\, undesirable relaxation pathways such as quantum tunneling of the magnetization can be suppressed. Here\, the first isolation of the bisbenzimidazole radical anion (Bbim3−•) and its use in radical-bridged SMMs will be discussed\, Fig. 1.1\,2 Furthermore\, the isolation of the first fluoflavine radicals will be presented.3 A second approach to strong coupling employs heavy p-block elements since their diffuse valence orbitals facilitate better penetration of the core electron density of the lanthanide ions relative to diamagnetic ligands comprising lighter p-block elements. Here\, we will present the first lanthanide bismuth cluster SMMs containing a [Ln2Bi6] heterometallocubane core\, Fig. 1. We will also show that the Bi23−• radical anion can be tamed with rare earth ions to give the first SMMs featuring bismuth radicals\, Fig. 1.4\,5 We also synthesized complexes with diamagnetic 89Y (I = ½) to gain insight into the electronic structure and spin density distribution.6-9 The organometallic rare earth chemistry has been further advanced by the isolation of the first guanidinate complexes featuring a weakly coordinated tetraphenylborate anion\,10 which have ramifications for both magnet design and reactivity studies.11\,12\n\nReferences.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Bartell Lecture \"Functional graphenic materials and polymers to improve human health\"
DESCRIPTION:The Sydlik group at Carnegie Mellon is developing novel strategies to improve human health through the platform materials of polymers and functional graphenic materials. Functional graphenic materials (FGMs) are prepared through chemical modification of graphene oxide\, an allotrope of carbon with abundant carbon-oxygen functionality. The Sydlik group has found FGMs to be bio- and environmentally compatible and have applied these materials in conjunction with polymers to address a number of applications for human health. We have designed FGMs to include signaling peptides and inducerions to be cell instructive for tissue regeneration\, with 3D printed scaffolds showing promise as bone regeneration scaffolds. We have designed FGMs and polymers to serve as effective scaffold materials to remove heavy metals\, including lead\, from the body\, water\, and food. Finally\, we are designing self-assembling peptides to adsorb drugs to treat non-opioid overdose. The FGMs and polymers rationally designed by the Sydlik group have shown promise to improve the landscape of human health.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Bioanalytical Applications and Fundamental Studies Enabled by High-Resolution Cyclic Ion Mobility Separations Coupled to Mass Spectrometry
DESCRIPTION:Ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry has emerged as an orthogonal and complementary analytical technique to liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry in omics-based analyses. Carbohydrate-containing molecules\, such as human milk oligosaccharides and glycolipids\, are notoriously difficult to characterize\, largely owing to their high degrees of isomeric heterogeneity. Thus\, new analytical methodologies are required to improve the confidence of their characterization. In the first portion of this seminar\, the use of cyclic ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry (cIMS-MS) in conjunction with multiple tandem mass spectrometry-based strategies is presented as a new method toward the de novo sequencing of carbohydrate-based molecules. \n\nRecently\, new insights from high-resolution ion mobility separations have revealed that mass distribution-based effects are responsible for the separation of isotopologues and isotopomers – an observation which should be impossible based on existing theory. In the second portion of this seminar\, the use of isotopic shifts to delineate amongst isomers and conformers will be discussed. Additionally\, the development of both experimental and theoretical approaches to better understand the fundamental nature of mass distribution-based isotopic shifts will also be presented.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Size dependent optronic properties of metal halide perovskite nanostructures: from quantum dots to magic sized clusters and molecular clusters
DESCRIPTION:Size is a critical factor in determining properties of materials\, both quantitatively and qualitatively. In our study of metal halide perovskite nanostructures\, we found some interesting fundamental changes in properties when the size is varied from >4 nm for perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) to <2 nm for perovskite magic sized clusters (PMSCs) and even slightly smaller ligand-assisted metal halide molecular clusters (MHMCs) with much stronger quantum confinement effect (QCE)\, as exemplified by cesium lead bromide (CsPbBr3) and methylammonium lead bromide (CH3NH3PbBr3). Besides the expected blue shift in absorption and emission with decreasing size due to QCE\, the photoluminescence quantum yield and excited state lifetime decrease generally with decreasing size\, attributed to increased surface defects as well as changes in the electronic band structure with size. In addition\, both the PMSCs and MHMCs are found to exhibit intrinsic chiral property based on circular dichroism (CD) spectra while the corresponding PQDs do not. Possible explanations for the origin of the chirality include asymmetry induced by liquid-liquid interface. Chiral nanoclusters are potentially useful for emerging technologies including spintronics and spin-optronics. Furthermore\, we compare carrier spin dynamics of these nanostructures determined using ultrafast laser techniques and found major effects of size\, phonon\, nuclear spin\, and surface in their lifetimes attributed to different spin relaxation mechanisms.

DESCRIPTION:The Bahamonde group harnesses the distinct one-electron chemistry and photochemical reactivity of Ni complexes to generate and trap C-centered radicals enantioselectively and promote C−N reductive eliminations at room temperature. Our excitement for studying these systems stems from the fact that these two apparently unrelated processes are facilitated under almost identical conditions\, but to date the ligand features\, photocatalyst properties\, and subtle reaction condition variations that favor one pathway over the other are not yet understood. Additionally\, to expedite reaction optimization\, the group develops multivariate linear regression models correlating observed enantioselectivity to computed molecular descriptors.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Gomberg Lecture: In Situ Probe of Structure and Dynamics at Metal electrode/Electrolyte Interface: Interfacial Field\, Electro-induction Effect\, and Hot Electron Transfer
DESCRIPTION:Structure and dynamics of electric double layer (EDL)\, the sub-nanometer region at the electrode/electrolyte interface\, are essential to the function and performance of many energy conversion and storage devices\, ranging from electrolyzers\, photoelectrochemical cells\, fuel cells to batteries. In situ probe of the EDL structure and dynamics at the molecular level requires advanced molecular spectroscopic tools with interfacial sensitivity and/or selectivity. In this talk\, I will discuss three recent studies in developing and applying vibrational sum frequency generation (VSFG) spectroscopy and surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) as powerful in situ interface specific/sensitive vibrational spectroscopic tools. 1) Using combined VSFG and DFT calculation\, we determine the binding structure of a molecular CO2 reduction catalyst on metal electrodes and interfacial electric field profile in the EDL\, revealing surprisingly large electrode induction effects on molecular catalyst. 2) Using combined SERS and MD simulation\, we obtain an atomistic view of the structure of solvent and ion molecules at the EDL\, revealing an unconventional interfacial water structure change at high negative electrode polarizations in water-in-salt electrolytes. 3) Using time-resolved VSFG\, we directly measure hot electron transfer induced vibrational dynamics of adsorbates on metal electrodes\, suggesting the possibility of plasmon (or light)-enhanced electrochemistry.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Catalytic strategies for the selective construction of sp3-rich organic scaffolds
DESCRIPTION:The topological complexity of sp3-rich scaffolds imparts specific beneficial properties into organic small molecules and enables refined tuning of a molecule’s properties. However\, this complexity amplifies both reactivity and selectivity challenges\, making the development of versatile methods to construct and diversify these structures difficult. By combining fundamental advances in transition metal catalysis with organic synthesis\, we aim to discover new reactions to solve unmet challenges in the construction of functional sp3-rich organic scaffolds. In one area\, we have found that identifying “unconventional” ligand platforms for palladium catalysis leads to new reactivity and selectivity in olefin heteroannulation reactions. In another area\, we have found that copper complexes can promote a range of oxidative radical addition reactions.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Electrocatalytic Synthesis with Interfacial Control
DESCRIPTION:Synthesis driven by renewable electricity offers a sustainable\, scalable\, decentralized\, and energy-efficient route to furnish value-added products – from fuels to complex molecules. Maximizing reaction efficiency and durability requires immobilized catalytic active sites on electrodes\, resulting in dispersed and non-uniform sites. This heterogeneity challenges iterative optimization of reactivity through traditional catalyst modifications\, which rely on uniform\, singular active sites. This lecture will focus on our research developing synthetic tools and concepts to predictively control interfacial structures at heterogeneous and reusable electrodes at the molecular level. Surface-sensitive techniques and mechanisms will be highlighted throughout the talk. Applications of our interfacial designs in enabling selective chemical syntheses and durable energy conversion systems will be discussed.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Seeing Chemicals in Blood: Advances in Optical Sensors Based on Oil Droplets
DESCRIPTION:We have developed two fluidic platforms that utilize specially formulated oil droplets as optical sensors for analyzing blood chemistry. The first platform\, pressure-driven droplet microfluidics\, continuously generates sub-nanoliter oil droplets to enable the chemical analysis of equally small aqueous samples. By preloading arrays of sensing oils and controlling their flow\, this system allows for real-time\, multi-analyte monitoring\, making it a promising tool for bedside critical care applications in hospitals. The second platform\, push-pull millifluidics\, integrates a microliter-sized liquid channel with a stepper motor to facilitate controlled extraction between an oil segment and an aqueous sample. Designed for portability and affordability\, this system offers a practical solution for diagnosing and managing chronic diseases in home and small-clinic settings. Unlike traditional optical sensors\, these fluidic platforms uniquely enable the independent tracking of optical signals from the sensor phase\, sample phase\, and interface. Leveraging fluorescence and absorbance detection in the sensor phase\, we have successfully performed chemical analyses on complex biological samples\, including whole blood.

SUMMARY:Performance:Mustard's Retreat
DESCRIPTION:50th Anniversary Concert!\n\nMay 1975. It seemed inevitable. Libby Glover\, Michael Hough and David Tamulevich had been informally jamming with each other for 3 months in the Rathskellar of the Old Heidelberg Restaurant in Ann Arbor\, Michigan. The room had grown consistently packed with enthusiastic fans every weekend. They all agreed it was time the trio made it official and chose the name Mustard’s Retreat\, which was a tune David had written. \nMustard’s Retreat has always sung the songs they enjoyed and cared about\, regardless of the trends of the music industry and pop culture. They are committed to simply being themselves\, not chasing fame or brass rings\, while delighting in and connecting with their audiences as if they were family. The honesty of what they present onstage and the extensive body of outstanding original songs and recordings all contribute to a fiercely loyal audience that continues to grow. “Music to cure what ails you” was how one reviewer in the 1970s described them\, and that is as true now as it was then. They’ve traveled more than a million miles and performed more than 6\,000 shows\, from pig roasts and pool parties to Lincoln Center Out of Doors\, The Barns at Wolftrap and the Kennedy’s Center’s Millennium Stage.\n\nTheir performances are always joyful and uplifting\, as well as intelligent\, thought provoking and insightful. They’ve recently begun referring to their career and touring as “Defiantly Hopeful.” In part due to their long career\, but more as a statement about what the music has meant to them. “Folk music is\, at its heart\, defiantly hopeful!” Tamulevich says. “We came of age in the 60s\, at the confluence of Pete Seeger\, Peter\, Paul & Mary\, Bob Dylan and the singer/songwriter revolution. We care much more about what we do and stand for and finding that common ground with our audiences\, than fame or money: this is our community of choice\, and we consider ourselves so fortunate to be here.”

DESCRIPTION:Low-coordinate complexes of the late transition metals exhibit unusual bonding and reactivity. The N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand framework has proven remarkably useful in the support of reactive complexes of copper\, silver and gold. Beginning with reactive coinage metal hydrides\, we have studied metal–element and metal–metal interactions with an eye toward catalysis. More recently\, we are exploring copper complexes that may react analogously to heterogeneous copper(0).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Combining Vibronic and Environmental Effects with Machine Learning in Simulations of Linear and Nonlinear Optical Spectra: Resolving the Challenge of Modeling the Spectrum of GFP Chromophore in Water
DESCRIPTION:Including both environmental and vibronic effects is important for accurate simulation of optical spectra\, but combining these effects remains computationally challenging. This talk will outline two approaches for spectral simulations that consider both the explicit atomistic environment and vibronic transitions. Both phenomena are responsible for spectral shapes in linear spectroscopy and the electronic evolution measured in nonlinear spectroscopy. The first approach utilizes snapshots of chromophore-environment configurations for which chromophore normal modes are determined. The second approach obtains excitation energies for a series of time-correlated snapshots. Both approaches make strides towards more accurate optical spectroscopy simulations.  I will show how the approaches can also be made computationally feasible through machine learning of ground and excited state potentials\, opening the door to new physical insights of complex condensed phase systems.  By combining vibronic and environmental effects\, along with machine learning for high level wave function theory\, we resolve the long-standing challenge of accurately simulating the linear absorption spectrum of the aqueously solvated GFP chromophore.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:The Radical Lives of Anaerobes and How to Fight Them
DESCRIPTION:Pathogenic bacteria that infect the gastrointestinal and respiratory tract form biofilms that are largely anaerobic\, modulating their metabolic lifestyle and virulence. Many of these microbes utilize acetate fermentation via the enzyme pyruvate formate lyase (PFL)\, which catalyzes the production of acetyl-CoA and formate from pyruvate via a radical mechanism\, enabling additional ATP production and the de novo synthesis of proteins and nucleic acids. We have investigated the mechanism of PFL via mechanism-based inhibitors to reveal the essential role of two cysteine thiyl radicals in catalysis and estimate their reactivity for the first time. Additionally\, we have demonstrated the role of nitric oxide (NO) as an irreversible inhibitor of they glycyl radical enzyme PFL as well as glycyl radical enzymes as a class and their radical S-adenosylmethionine-dependent activases via the production of dinitrosyl iron complexes. These results set the stage for the development of mechanism-based inhibitors of PFL and other glycyl radical enzymes and provide a biochemically informed approach to narrow-spectrum site-specific antibiotic development for the treatment of gastrointestinal and pulmonary disease.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Learning from the Heterogeneity at the Electrode-Electrolyte Interface via Electrochemical Correlative Microscopy
DESCRIPTION:Understanding the structure-reactivity relationship at electrochemical interfaces is central to unraveling nearly all electrochemical processes\, including electrocatalysis and batteries. However\, these interfaces are typically structurally heterogeneous\, which impedes interpreting the structure-activity relationships using conventional ensemble electrochemical measurements. In this presentation\, I will discuss our efforts toward developing and applying electroanalytical techniques—such as scanning electrochemical probe microscopy and correlative microscopy—to gain new knowledge from electrochemical interfacial heterogeneity. First\, I will discuss our efforts towards simultaneous probing of local activity and product selectivity in electrocatalytic reactions via a hybrid scanning electrochemical probe microscopy approach\, equivalent to a miniature rotating ring disk electrode. Combined with correlative electron microscopy\, this approach enables simultaneous mapping of the facet-dependent activity and selectivity in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on polycrystalline Au and Pt. In the second example\, I will discuss the approach to measure site-specific nucleation kinetics and energetics in electrodeposition\, which plays an important role in the cyclability of batteries that use metal anodes. Finally\, the application of controlled electrodeposition towards accelerated materials discovery will be discussed.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:From Helicases to CRISPR: How RNA Stability and Specificity Shape Biology
DESCRIPTION:The fundamental properties of the RNA double helix—high structural stability and strict base-pairing specificity—have profoundly influenced biological systems throughout evolutionary history and up to today. While the stability allows helices to serve as rigid scaffolds within structured RNAs\, it also creates significant energetic barriers to rearrangement\, necessitating RNA helicases as chaperones in RNA folding and remodeling. At the same time\, the high specificity of Watson-Crick base pairing enables RNA-guided mechanisms\, exemplified by CRISPR-Cas enzymes that leverage this specificity for DNA targeting. This talk will explore how these core biophysical properties have shaped RNA’s biological roles\, driven evolution of protein families\, and enabled modern genome-editing tools.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:A cross-century pursuit of propagating waves of cell death
DESCRIPTION:Large-scale cell death is commonly observed during organismal development and in human pathologies. These cell death events extend over great distances to eliminate large populations of cells\, raising the question of how cell death can be coordinated in space and time. One mechanism that enables long-range signal transmission is trigger waves\, but how this mechanism might be used for death events in cell populations remains unclear. Here we demonstrate that ferroptosis\, an iron- and lipid-peroxidation-dependent form of cell death\, can propagate across human cells over long distances (≥ 5 mm) at constant speeds (around 5.5 μm/min) through trigger waves of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Chemical and genetic perturbations indicate a primary role of ROS feedback loops (Fenton reaction\, NADPH oxidase signaling and glutathione synthesis) in controlling the progression of ferroptotic trigger waves. We show that introducing ferroptotic stress through suppression of cystine uptake activates these ROS feedback loops\, converting cellular redox systems from being monostable to being bistable and thereby priming cell populations to become bistable media over which ROS propagate. Furthermore\, we demonstrate that ferroptosis and its propagation accompany the massive\, yet spatially restricted\, cell death events during muscle remodeling of the embryonic avian limb\, substantiating its use as a tissue-sculpting strategy during embryogenesis. Our findings highlight the role of ferroptosis in coordinating global cell death events\, providing a paradigm for investigating large-scale cell death in embryonic development and human pathologies.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Electrocatalysis for Sustainable Chemical Manufacturing and Defluorination of Forever Chemicals
DESCRIPTION:Electrocatalysis presents a transformative opportunity for producing chemicals and consumer goods sustainably by replacing fossil fuel-based processes with energy-efficient technologies powered by renewable sources. This method also shows significant promise in addressing the global challenge of remediating per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water. Viable electrocatalytic processes must use nonprecious materials\, operate in aqueous environments\, consume minimal energy\, and effectively eliminate harmful chemicals\, necessitating a deep understanding of mechanisms and the strategic design of nanocatalysts with controlled properties.\n\nOur research employs pulsed laser in liquids synthesis to develop nanocatalysts with precise surface chemistries\, facilitating a quantitative understanding of electrocatalytic processes\, especially within the electrode microenvironment. We have demonstrated that laser-made earth-abundant mixed-metal nanocatalysts on high-surface-area carbon supports can selectively electrooxidize toluene to benzyl alcohol with high activity. Additionally\, we achieved complete defluorination of various PFAS in aqueous electrolytes using laser-synthesized bimetallic nanocatalysts.\n\nThe unifying theme of our group is to advance the design and fabrication of nanocatalysts for the electrocatalytic generation of reactive species from water\, aimed at sustainable applications. This work is based on a detailed atomistic understanding of catalyst materials\, electrode microenvironments\, and electrocatalytic mechanisms\, with the ultimate goal of promoting environmentally friendly and scalable solutions for chemical manufacturing and water remediation.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Designing energy-harvesting materials via the vapor phase: From water splitting silicon nanowires to solar absorbing hybrid perovskites
DESCRIPTION:The vapor-phase provides a unique capacity to encode precise composition and morphology in semiconductor materials and interfaces for energy-harvesting functionality. Here\, we highlight recent work on the vapor-phase synthetic control of Si nanowires\, photoelectrochemical interfaces\, and hybrid perovskite materials. Together\, these processes provide platforms to design chemically encoded\, nanostructured systems for applications ranging from solar water splitting to photovoltaic solar cells. First\, we show how abrupt transitions between p-type\, intrinsic\, and n-type silicon allow nanowire p-i-n superlattices to be synthesized that behave as multijunction photovoltaic devices with extraordinarily large photovoltages. Using spatio-selective photoelectrochemical deposition of hydrogen and oxygen-evolving co-catalysts\, water splitting particle suspensions are demonstrated. Second\, we show how planar silicon interfaces can be functionalized with nanoscale oxide and graphene layers\, facilitating the integration of molecular catalysts for solar-driven CO2 reduction. Finally\, we demonstrate the first metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) growth of methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3). Use of separate vapor precursors for the lead\, organic\, and halide components allows the tuning of reaction conditions to grow the material directly with high purity. Overall\, the projects highlight the precise and tunable control of material composition\, morphology\, and functionality provided by the vapor phase.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Inventing the Tools to Unlock the Field of Microgravity Chemistry
DESCRIPTION:As chemists\, we instinctively manipulate variables – concentration\, temperature\, current – seeking the right conditions to achieve a desired outcome or retracing our steps to understand why certain inputs yield specific results. For all the billions of chemical experiments performed in human history\, gravity has been largely treated as a physical constant. But with rapidly growing access to space\, we now have the ability to treat gravity\, one of the four fundamental forces of nature\, as an experimental variable. Without gravity\, we have the opportunity to study how chemical reactions behave without the influence of acceleration-dependent convection\, hydrostatic pressure\, flotation\, sedimentation\, or container interactions. \n\nBut as with any new field of study\, the right tools are needed to understand and exercise its potential.   \n\nThe idea of experimentation in microgravity is not new – the first US space station\, Skylab (1973)\, hosted a series of chemistry experiments\, some as fundamental as “Metals Melting (M551)“. Many of these findings highlight the incredible potential microgravity environments offer for scientific discovery. However\, these experiments\, and those taking place on the International Space Station today\, are often performed in uncreative experimental setups and with equipment that was originally designed to operate on Earth. \n\nThis talk will outline previous investigations in microgravity\, note their findings and critique their experimental design\, and present Astral Materials’ approach to inventing the right tools for Microgravity Chemistry to reach its full potential.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:A Coordination Chemistry Approach to the Design of Boron-Doped Conjugated π-Electron Materials
DESCRIPTION:The incorporation of boron into conjugated organic molecules has emerged as a useful strategy to elicit valuable optical and electronic properties which cannot be observed with the analogous all-hydrocarbon systems. Therefore\, these types of molecules are currently being studied for various optoelectronic applications\, including organic light-emitting diodes. We have synthesized\, structurally characterized\, and assessed the aromaticity and optical properties of unusual borafluorene and borepin cations\, radicals\, and anions. Our primary goal has been to isolate molecules in rare electronic states and to provide a link between structure and function. We have now initiated efforts aimed at understanding the chemical reactivity of these boron-containing rings\, including their reactivity with energy-relevant small molecules. Recently\, we discovered that borenium ions can be tailored such that the serve as viable stimuli-responsive materials\, possessing thermochromic and/or luminescent properties. This lecture will cover our most recent results in these research areas\, including new studies on boraacenes and π-extended multi-boron-doped systems. If time permits\, other research areas will be discussed\, such as our efforts in heavy group 15 element bond activation chemistry.

SUMMARY:Performance:Cris Jacobs
DESCRIPTION:From Baltimore comes Cris Jacobs—an unexpectedly gritty soul-blues singer and guitarist with outlaw country ethos. Blending a variety of musical traditions\, Jacobs creates a distinctive voice and sound of his own punctuated by emotive songwriting and explosive guitar playing. Equally at home playing heartfelt Americana ballads or funky blues rockers\, Jacobs is known for his mesmerizing live shows\, where his improvisational guitar playing\, powerhouse band\, and deep reservoir of songs make each night a unique experience.\n\nNamed one of Rolling Stone’s “10 New Country Artists You Need to Know” in 2017\, Jacobs has collaborated with the Grateful Dead’s Phil Lesh and Dumpstaphunk’s Ivan Neville\, and earned opening slots on tours with Sturgill Simpson and Steve Winwood.\n\nWith three solo albums to his name\, a collaborative record with Ivan Neville aptly titled “Neville Jacobs”\, songwriting credits that include bluegrass artists Audie Blaylock and Frank Solivan\, New Orleans funksters Dumpstaphunk\, and gospel legends Blind Boys of Alabama\, Jacobs continues to evolve and display his wide range of writing and performing prowess. “No matter the song”\, he says\, “I just like to keep it soulful and let the music speak for itself”

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Simulating Quantum Chemical Dynamics in Condensed Phases: Methodological Developments and Applications
DESCRIPTION:Quantum effects play a critical role in many problems of chemical dynamics in condensed phases. In this presentation\, I will introduce recent progress from our group on the development and application of the hierarchical equations of motion (HEOM) method\, a non-perturbative framework for accurately capturing the influence of environmental degrees of freedom on quantum systems. I will first highlight recent algorithmic advances that extend the method’s applicability to more complex systems. These include efficient treatments of the exponential decomposition of bath correlation functions for general spectral densities and low-temperature conditions\, as well as the integration of tensor network techniques to enable HEOM propagation involving thousands of effective modes. Several applications of the HEOM method will then be presented\, including charge transport and separation dynamics in organic semiconductors\; quantum coherence in excitation energy transfer in photosynthetic light-harvesting complexes and related ultrafast spectroscopic phenomena\; and the dynamics of systems under strong light-matter interactions.
