SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Works by Belle Kogan: First Female Industrial Designer
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition presents industrially-produced art pottery pieces designed by Belle Kogan (1902–2000)\, for Red Wing Potteries in Red Wing\, Minnesota. Kogan is considered the first prominent female industrial designer in the United States\, a founder of the profession\, and one of the 20th century's most significant designers.

Her contracts with Red Wing Potteries produced over 400 different art pottery shapes from the late 1930s to the early 1960s\, as well as several dinnerware and kitchenware lines. Belle Kogan and her firm designed products not only in ceramics but also clocks and small appliances\, glassware\, and pieces in silver\, plastics\, wrought iron and wood.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Winteractive: The Art of Video Games
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean for a game to be art? Many independent game developers stretch the definition of what a game can be and create games that blur the boundaries between art and traditional entertainment.\n\nThe games in this exhibition—all created by individual or small groups of developers—will lead you into realms of sound and beauty\, or provoke reflection on the human condition\, or entertain you with innovative takes on established game genres—or perhaps all of the above at once!\n\nThis is a hands-on exhibition. We invite you play and explore the games\, and offer your thoughts at http://bit.ly/winteractive\n\nSponsored by the Ann Arbor District Library and the University of Michigan Library Computer & Video Game Archive.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Shakespeare on Page and Stage: A Celebration
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit is a historical journey through different versions of Shakespeare’s plays as they were edited for publication or interpreted  for the stage. Starting with the Second Folio (1632)\, our display includes a selection of landmark editions by authors and scholars like John Dryden\, Nicholas Rowe\, Alexander Pope\, Samuel Johnson\, and Edmond Malone. It explores the staging and costuming of productions such as Charles Kean’s archaeologically-informed\, elaborately-costumed 1856 production of The Winter’s Tale\, and Maurice Browne-Ellen Van Volkenburg 1930 production of Othello casting Paul Robeson as the first black actor to play Othello in a century.\n\nMost of the titles included in this display come from the McMillan Shakespeare Library.

All these books and artifacts are held in the Special Collections Library.\n\nAudubon Room Hours: Monday-Friday 8:30 am to 7 pm\, Saturday 10 am to 6 pm\, Sunday 1 pm to 7 pm

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Wall in Process
DESCRIPTION:This wall-in-process represents a snapshot into the year long collaborative project Humanize the Numbers at the University of Michigan. Led by Virginia artist and prison reform activist Mark Strandquist\, this campus-wide endeavor aims to link together community partners—prison reformers and advocates\, faculty\, staff\, students\, artists\, the incarcerated\, and their families—in various artistic outputs to foster knowledge and to reveal the human face of the Michigan prison system. \n\nWhat will emerge on this wall over the course of its eight week duration is the product of partnerships between the Institute for the Humanities and artists and prison reform activists. We have collected material from the Prison Creative Arts Program (PCAP)\, the Citizens’ Alliance on Prisons and Public Spending (CAPPS)\, Ana Fernandez’s undergraduate printmaking course in the Residential College\, Natalie Holbrook from the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC)\, the AFSC’s Good Neighbor Letter Writing Project as facilitated by Ron Simpson-Bey\, and a quilting workshop in a Michigan girls’ treatment unit facilitated by Theadra Fleming and Heather Martin. \n\nThis wall is not static\, fixed\, or ever meant to be complete. Its appearance will change week by week\, both in an additive and reductive sense. The room will also serve as a meeting place for lectures and workshops by Humanize the Numbers partners throughout the exhibit’s duration. Displaying both the seemingly mundane and the extraordinary\, the wall aims to engage viewers and garner interest in the pursuit of knowledge on Michigan’s prison system\, acting as a humanistic lens into the lives affected by our prison system on a personal\, institutional\, statewide\, and nationwide scope.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Accent Elimination
DESCRIPTION:About Accent Elimination\n\nNina Katchadourian’s work Accent Elimination\, the last installation in the Institute’s Year of Conversions\, meanders and parses through our notions of identity. Katchadourian considers the ongoing quandary of where we really come from\, who we are\, trying to isolate our sense of ourselves in counterpoint with the way people define or judge us based upon their assumptions. It is\, of course\, the unique combination of things that offers our most comprehensive and authentic self-reflection\, not one thing or another\, and this amalgamation is to some degree indecipherable.\n\n\nAlthough they have lived in the United States for over 45 years\, Katchadourian’s foreign-born parents both have distinctive but hard-to-place accents that the artist has never been able to imitate correctly. Inspired by posters around New York advertising courses in “accent elimination\,” Katchadourian decided to hire a professional who could teach her to speak in each of her parents’ accents and teach them to speak with a so-called “standard American accent.” Katchadourian and her parents took intensive lessons with accent coach Sam Chwat at his office every other day for several weeks\, and also practiced in the artist’s studio between lessons. They worked with two scripts: one written by her mother and the other by her father\, both modeled on the typical conversation that each of them has when talking with a stranger who notices an accent and is curious about its origins.\n\nKatchadourian plays the part of the stranger. The dialogues are first performed in everyone’s natural accents\, then at the end of the piece\, after much practice and struggle\, they attempt to perform the\nsame scripts—in the best version they can muster—of their new accents.\n\nIn light of recent and all-too-familiar seismic political shifts consumed with “otherness\,” and building walls rather than bringing them down\, Accent Elimination feels especially prescient. It reminds us there\nare so many layers that comprise our cultural identities\, stacked up like markers\, artifacts of our points of origin as well as our extraordinary journeys. It is an ongoing and painstaking process as to what we save and what we lose along the way by choice\, necessity\, or circumstance.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fellow Fellows
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...\"Fellow Fellows\"\, the Architecture Fellows Presentation and Exhibition Opening. \n\nThe exhibition of projects of the 2015-2016 Architecture Fellows opens on Wednesday\, March 23 and runs through the end of the Winter term (May 2). The Fellows will present their projects to the college at 6:00 p.m. in the Auditorium. The projects present their ongoing research during their yearlong fellowship. A reception will follow the presentations\, with exhibition on view in the college gallery.\n\n\nCyrus Peñarroyo - William Muschenheim Fellow\n\nBLDG_DRWG\nBLDG_DRWG recoups handwrought drawing effects and rearranges drawing conventions at the building scale in order to reorient the ways in which architecture is produced and consumed. Oscillating between analog methods (ink\, paint\, tape) and digital processes (scanning\, photoshop filtering\, milling)\, this project intensifies attributes of drawing otherwise lost in translation. A series of 1:1 investigations harnesses the potency of these effects and uses them to emphasize\, deemphasize\, or reconstitute existing architectural conditions. The results of these studies are reassembled in the gallery as a room––one fragment of an unfinished building––that speaks to the instability of its own representation.\n\nTeam members: Andrew Barkhouse\, Peter Watkins\nWith assistance from: Chris Campbell\, Samantha Eng\, Matt Culver\, Asa Peller\, Tafhim Rahman\n\n\nAshley Bigham - Walter B. Sanders Fellow\n\nSafety Not Guaranteed\nArchitecture is inseparable from defense. From its most primitive and revered “origins\,” architecture was rehearsed in environments of conflict. As an alternative to the term defense architecture\, a category which typically refers to forms and types (fortresses\, citadels\, bastions\, urban walls)\, this project proposes the idea of an architecture of defense. An architecture of defense sees all of architecture as a reaction to some measure of paranoia and studies the built environment to recognize measures and methods used to subdue these fears. Safety Not Guaranteed explores the architecture of paranoia through a series of design manipulations and exaggerations. Its setting is the network of suburbia and everyday domestic scenes—spaces most commonly associated with privacy\, safety\, and security and where fortification occurs on the scale of the front door\, the home\, the cul-de-sac\, and the neighborhood.\n\nTeam Members: Connor Brindza\, James Howe\, Neall Oliver\, Sasha Pfeiffer\, Mark Boynton\, Kamsy Anyachebelu\n\n\nDavid Eskenazi - Willard A. Oberdick Fellow\n\nFor the Trees\nAt first I noticed how naked the papers were\, since they didn’t seem to be acting like something else. I guess they were supposed to be models\, it was an architecture exhibit after all\, but they were missing all those things that point elsewhere: no doors\, no windows\, nothing that particularly looks like anything but itself. They were formed\, sure\, but that’s not really enough to point outwards. Or is it? Before you answer\, there was one more thing: some of the papers were near an enlarged duplicate. Actually\, maybe they were shrunken copies. It was a lot like that moment at the top of Runyon Canyon when you turn around and realize there’s an entire other\, slightly smaller Los Angeles behind you. Were you just looking at the original\, or the copy? I think the most interesting part is right afterwards when your focus shifts around you to the ground\, the dirt\, the trees.. all that stuff that frames what you’re looking at\, like the base of a model or scale figures or model trees. Come to think of it\, the papers did look like trees. But the resemblance is fleeting\, and now I’m certain the papers were in fact models pointing around at each other. Or were they in the background\, acting like a frame for something else\, something that wasn’t there?\n\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Special Exhibit:On the Trail of Wonder: Selections from the Collection of Rolf Sapoli
DESCRIPTION:What makes an object wonderful? Is it an objective quality that can be measured and studied? Or is it an instinctive reaction\, welling up within the observer\, prompting us to ask: where did this come from? What does it mean? Is it real?\nNoted natural philosopher Rolf Sapoli has generously lent prized pieces from his world-renowned collection to the U-M Museum of Natural History for a short-term imposition. Objects rarely seen in a museum will be on display\, including a native Michigan koala\, Henry Ford’s pet dodo\, and a miniature manatee.  The items will be integrated with the permanent collections and interspersed throughout the galleries\, creating a trail of wonderful objects.  How many will you find?  The exhibit opens March 26 and runs through April 10\, though Mr. Sapoli tells us the best viewing will be on Friday\, April 1\, at 4:01 pm.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Humanities Tools for Library Resources
DESCRIPTION:Hilde De Weerdt\, Professor of Chinese History at Leiden University\, reviews recent efforts to connect text databases\, biographical databases\, geographic information systems\, and tools generated from within the humanities community. She argues that connecting databases and tools\, open access as well as commercial\, is an important mission for researchers and librarians in Chinese Studies and one that has been ignored for too long.\n\nDe Weerdt says\,\n\"In the first part of the presentation I will briefly discuss the limitations of well-known textual databases in pre-twentieth century and modern Chinese Studies with regard to search functionality\, data discovery\, exportability\, and accessibility. Next I will demonstrate how customized humanities tools can help overcome many of these limitations\, using as an example the basic and new functionality of the MARKUS platform. I will conclude that the generation of humanities-specific platforms and tools is necessary for the development of Chinese Studies and compatible with the goals and premises of philological inquiry. I will also emphasize that the realization of resources and tools that conform with academic standards and research flows requires far more engagement from within the Chinese Studies community and closer collaboration between librarians\, computer scientists\, and humanities researchers and teachers.\"

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Albert Kahn: Under Construction
DESCRIPTION:In the past two decades there has been a tremendous swell of interest in Detroit architect Albert Kahn (1869–1942)\, arguably the most important architect of American industrialization. Albert Kahn: Under Construction focuses on the remarkable archive of photographs assembled by Albert Kahn Associates while building the powerhouses of American industry\, from the Highland Park Ford Plant to the Willow Run Bomber Plant. Shot by an array of professional photographers based mainly in Detroit\, these often striking documentary images were a novel strategy for conveying information about the daily progress of construction to busy managers at the main office. The exhibition foregrounds the photographic series as a way of illustrating change over time—showing buildings as they grew on site—and Kahn’s innovative solutions to the architectural challenges of his day.\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Siebren Versteeg: LIKE II (2016)
DESCRIPTION:In Siebren Versteeg’s LIKE II (2016)\, a computer painting program creates a composition using a continuously changing algorithm\, and then runs a periodic Google search to find a matching image online. Every sixty seconds\, the painting made by the computer is uploaded to Google’s “search by image” feature\, and images that most closely match the composition are then downloaded and displayed.\n\nThe notion of abstraction plays a central role in this work. Throughout modernity\, artists have sought inventive ways to free painting from its tradition as a representational medium. LIKE II inverts this ambition\, finding the reality hidden within pure abstraction. Because the work evolves based on whatever content is available online at any given moment\, the artist relinquishes a certain degree of creative control. Versteeg says\, “As the nature of the images presented by the work is random\, the artist assumes both all and no responsibility for their presence and content.”\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:IISS Graduate Symposium: Topics in Vernacular Islam
DESCRIPTION:As we envision it\, Vernacular Islam is every expression of Islam within the Islamicate world. The focus of our definition is on the domestic and functional—versus the rigid and standard—aspects of the term vernacular. Being a social and expressive faith\, there are no practices of Islam nor are there Muslim communities that do not fall under the umbrella of vernacular. Thinking about the vernacular for us also describes a phenomena in Muslim societies wherein particular Islamic expressions position themselves in relation to an imagined standard or orthodoxy on a social\, political\, economic\, and historical level. In the words of Tom Pepinsky\, “All Islam is vernacular Islam. All of it. Wahhabis and Salafis in the Arab Middle East are just as much products of particular historical moments and sociopolitical contexts as are other Sunni Muslims who don’t happen to speak a form of Arabic as their native language (to say nothing of Ibadis\, Ismailis\, Alevis\, etc.).”\n\nSpeaker Schedule:\n12:30 - 1:00 pm: Welcome and Keynote Address with Alexander Knysh\n1:00 - 1:30 pm: Emma Nolan-Thomas (U-M)\n1:30 - 2:00 pm: Dr. Philipp Bruckmayr (University of Vienna)\n2:00 - 2:15 pm: Break\n2:15 - 2:45 pm: Paul Love (U-M)\n2:45 - 3:15 pm: Jonathan Allen (University of Maryland\, College Park)\n3:15 - 3:45 pm: Sara Katz (U-M)\n3:45 - 4:30 pm: Q&A\nView speaker abstracts here: http://www.ii.umich.edu/isp/graduates/interdisciplinary-islamic-studies-seminar.html\n\nPlease refer any questions to IISScoordinators@umich.edu. \n\nThe Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies Seminar (IISS) is the only academic forum at the University of Michigan that engages students and faculty who are interested in the study of Islam and Muslim societies in an interdisciplinary and cross-regional conversation. Following our inception in the winter term 2010\, IISS has grown to include a large number of both student and faculty participants. They represent a wide range of departments and programs including American Culture\, Anthropology\, Architecture and Urban Planning\, Asian Languages and Cultures\, History\, Law\, Middle Eastern and North African Studies\, Musicology\, Natural Resources and Environment\, Near Eastern Studies\, Political Science\, Romance Languages and Literatures\, South Asian Studies\, and Southeast Asian Studies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition: Research Through Making
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...Research Through Making.\n\nHistorically\, research and creative practice have been constructed as \"opposites.\" This is not an unusual struggle in architecture schools\, particularly in the context of a research university. This perceived tension between design and research is indicative of age-old anxieties within the architecture field to understand its nature as an \"applied art.\" Design can be a purely creative activity not unlike creative practices in music and art. In other cases\, design can be a purely problem solving activity\, not unlike research in engineering and industrial production.\n\nIn its seventh year\, University of Michigan Taubman College's Research Through Making (RTM) Program provides seed funding for faculty research\, worked on by faculty\, students and interdisciplinary experts. The exhibition presents tangible results of their collaborative work.\n\nPresentation of projects will start at 6:00pm in the Art & Architecture Building Auditorium\, with a reception to follow at the Liberty Annex.\n\nResearch Through Making Installations:\n\n\"Tap\"\nAdam Fure\n\n\"Panots & Mosiacs: The Plasticity of Hydraulic Cement through Making\"\nAna Morcillo Pallares and Jonathan Rule\n\n\"Dip and Dive in the D\"\nClaudia Wigger\n\n\"Infundibuliforms: Cable Robot Actuated Kinetic Environments\"\nWes McGee\, Geoffrey Thün\, Kathy Velikov\n\n\"Post Rock\"\nMeredith Miller and Thom Moran\n\nGrant submissions were anonymously evaluated by a distinguished jury from outside the college:\n\nBenjamin Ball\, Lead Artist and Principal\, Ball-Nogues Studio\nBrooke Hodge\, Deputy director\, Cooper Hewitt\, Smithsonian Design Museum\nMark Lamster\, Architecture critic\, The Dallas Morning News\n\n​This exhibition runs from March 10 - April 15. \n\nThe Liberty Gallery is located at 305 W.

SUMMARY:Performance:Film Screening: Mestiza Music
DESCRIPTION:Western classical music\, traditionally known for scores that go back as far as 1000 AD\, is a genre that is still being written today. Modern composers continue to develop new ways to present a style that is centuries old. Symphony orchestras are starting to make room for new instruments in their ensembles.\n \nFor one North American composer\, multi-cultural fusion within the classical world has become a passionate mission to create mestiza (mixed-race) music. Grammy-winning Peruvian-American composer Gabriela Lena Frank recently brought her unique music-making process to the University of Michigan for an experiment: After years of planning\, musicians with roots in Finland\, Korea\, China and the United States\, join three talented Ecuadorian panpipe players in Ann Arbor\, to premiere a new rendition of Mestiza Music. \n\nThe film is produced by WFYI-Indianapolis with support from the U-M Office of Research\, the School of Music\, Theater and Dance\, and the Residential College\, and filmed during a visiting artist residency at U-M in the fall of 2014. \n\nThe screening will be accompanied by a question and answer session with the composer Gabriela Lena Frank\, filmmaker Aric Hartvig and performers Andrew Jennings (violin) and Katri Ervamaa (cello). A reception to follow.\n\nWatch the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8jldNI5NmA

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Queering the Ambiguity: Identity\, Entertainment\, and Politics in Chinese Popular Music
DESCRIPTION:Chinese popular music displays increasingly high levels of queer visuality. But visual productions of queer romance and eroticism here do not necessarily produce a political presence of gender\, sexuality\, or the queer. On the contrary\, the interventions of government in production and communication and of families in consumption and recontextualization produce its absence. This paradox creates an ambiguous social space where sameness and difference\, art and eroticism\, performance and performativity\, hetero- and homonormativity\, entertainment and politics are woven into a sophisticated network in which queers can make their political statements and opportunists can capitalize on these for publicity and popularity. The pursuit of stardom also seduces queer musicians to compromise through the entertainmentization of identity. This allows them to break into the mainstream market—on Sing My Song or The Voice of China—where their queerness is rendered as desexualized “difference” for purposes of sentimental spectacle. The ambiguous policy of “No Support\, No Oppression\, No Advocacy” for queer social movements seems to symbolize official permission for queer liberation in China\, and a number of queer songs have been released\, such as “Rainbow” and “Girls Love Girls.” But the dual logics of avant-gardism and commercialism in queer representation control the structure of ambiguity and maintain a heteronormative politics and social order beneath a flamboyant queer visuality. (Image: Disco-TECA on stage)\n\nAbout the speaker: \n\nQian Wang earned his PhD in 2007 from the Institute of Popular Music in the University of Liverpool (UK) and was a postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Sociology at Tsinghua University in China. His research focuses on Chinese popular music and its cultural scene in P.R. China. Looking at the redevelopment and transformation of Chinese popular music since the economic and political reform of 1979\, he analyzes its intertwined relationship with industrial progress and the stratification of Chinese society and writes on politics\, mass communication\, gender\, and sexuality. Currently\, he is a lecturer at Yibin University in China.\n\nThis presentation is co-sponsored by the Lesbian-Gay-Queer Research Initiative in the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Confucius Institute at the University of Michigan.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Silent Babel: Cinematic Multilingualism Beyond the Soundtrack
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Lisa Patti (Hobart and William Smith Colleges) and Tijana Mamula (John Cabot University) advocate the opening of film studies to a broader appreciation of the ways in which linguistic difference has shaped\, and continues to shape\, the medium's history. While most studies of the subject have explored linguistic difference as a largely audible phenomenon – manifested through polyglot dialogues\, or through the translation of monolingual dialogues for international audiences – this talk explores some of its unheard histories\, thus contributing to a new field of enquiry based on an attentiveness to multilingualism's work beyond the soundtrack.\n\n*Patti and Mamula are the editors of the forthcoming anthology The Multilingual Screen: New Reflections on Cinema and Linguistic Difference (Bloomsbury\, Spring 2016).\n\n*With generous cosponsorship from: the Department of Comparative Literature\, the Sheldon Cohn Fund in the Department of Screen Arts & Cultures\, the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures\, the Department of Linguistics\, the Department of History\, the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, the Department of American Culture\, the Institute for the Humanities\, the Rackham Graduate School\, and the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The non-obvious foundations of human thought
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a lecture by Distinguished University Professor Susan A. Gelman\, followed by a reception.\n\nLecture Abstract:\nA hallmark of human cognition is the capacity to look beyond outward appearances to consider ideas that are non-obvious or abstract.  We see this from commonsense construals of experience (with ideas regarding germs\, ownership\, or fairness) to some of the most sophisticated concepts of our species (microscopic structure\, shape of the earth\, formal logic).  Where do such ideas come from\, and how do they develop?  Professor Gelman will review evidence that\, contrary to prevailing assumptions\, children's early thought is not wholly grounded in the tangible \"here-and-now\".  To the contrary\, young children readily consider hidden\, internal\, abstract entities in numerous domains of thought.  Gelman will discuss examples from categorization\, language\, and children's understanding of everyday experience. These findings have implications for the minds of children\, the social nature of cognition\, and the foundations of human thought.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Collaborative Feminist Scholarships and Activisms Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the varied histories of diverse feminist movements\, collaboration has been both charged with revolutionary potential and fraught with debilitating failure. In this roundtable\, we aim to delve deeply into this experience of collaboration: What makes collaborative projects so profoundly powerful\, yet so remarkably challenging? Is it possible to engage in a politics of collaboration that elides assimilation? How can we work together across boundaries of geographical location and social identity without obscuring the differences in experience and power that these borders produce?\n\n \n\nWe invite you to join us for this conversation with Amy Sara Carroll\, Amber DiPietra\, Katherine Gibson\, Petra Kuppers\, and Nadine Naber. Identifying as feminist scholars\, performance artists\, poets\, artist-activists (artivists)\, archivists\, educators\, bodyworkers\, and organizers\, and engaging in work in the fields of disability studies\, Arab-American studies\, Latin@ studies\, literary studies\, and economy and geography studies\, these presenters will lead us in sharing stories of collaboration\, discussing the value and influence of collaboration\, and strategizing about to how to engage in collaborative practices. \n\n\nSponsored by: Arab and Muslim American Studies and the Border Collective Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop

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.
