SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Impressions in Pastel
DESCRIPTION:Sharon Will’s commitment to painting is to capture the simple\, everyday beauty around her in her native Michigan and beyond. She is passionate about painting plein air (outdoors) whenever possible\, as she feels the direct observation from life is the best teacher to truly see the subtleties of light and color in nature. Working on sanded paper\, her process begins with a pastel and alcohol/mineral spirits under-painting wash to establish value and color. Soft pastel is applied in layers\, often in contrasting color and temperatures for vibrancy. Over her 35-year career in painting\, Will has won numerous national awards. She also operates a custom framing business from her home/studio in Washington Township and teaches occasional workshops.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Written Culture of Christian Egypt: Coptic Manuscripts from the University of Michigan Collection
DESCRIPTION:The dry climate of the Egyptian desert offers an ideal environment for the preservation of ancient artifacts. As the sands of Egypt has preserved also numerous Coptic manuscripts\, the transmission of the literary heritage of Egyptian Christians can be documented quite well from its beginnings in the 4th century CE until its decline in the 12th-13th centuries CE\, when it was completely superseded by Arabic. This exhibit aims to show some of the hallmarks of Coptic literature using manuscripts kept in the Special Collections Research Center of the University of Michigan Library. Topics explored include the main Coptic dialects\; bilingualism in Egypt\; books read by the Egyptian monks\; and the works of Shenoute the Great\, the most important author of Coptic literature.\n\nThis exhibit is curated by Dr. Frank Feder and Dr. Alin Suciu from the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities. The exhibit and related programming are offered with support from the Department of Middle East Studies and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology.\n\nJoin us for an opening lecture and reception at 4:30 p.m. on November 12 in the Hatcher Library Gallery.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"Quantifying Temperature’s Effect on the Cardiovascular System\"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n“Those diseases that medicines do not cure are cured by the knife. Those that the knife does not cure are cured by fire. Those that fire does not cure\, must be considered incurable.” Hippocrates in 370 BC made the first recorded mention of the use of heat as a therapeutic. To this day\, the effect of temperature on the body is of interest to clinicians\, athletes\, researchers\, and perhaps anyone that has lived through Georgia summers or Michigan winters. The body maintains temperature homeostasis by the process of thermoregulation. The body’s ability to thermoregulate is an important coping mechanism to withstand various physiological states\, such as fever\, and environmental exposures such as the weather. The cardiovascular (CV) system plays a vital role in thermoregulation because of its influence on heat transfer via forced convection and conduction by changes in blood distribution\, blood velocity\, and proximity of tissues. It remains unclear how the allocation of blood in various compartments (such as the innermost core\, fat\, muscle\, and skin) changes with temperature. Challenges in measuring core vasculature have resulted in a lack of empirical information regarding how it might change with core temperature. Therefore\, to fully understand the CV system’s role in thermoregulation\, this thesis focuses on using murine models to study the effect of temperature on core vasculature. The overall purpose is to provide a novel and physiologically accurate approach to studying thermoregulation by incorporating structural and functional changes in the CV system occurring in the core. Using murine models and MRI\, we noninvasively quantified structural and functional vascular response in core arteries and veins to increasing core body temperature. We also studied  the effects of sex and age on the CV response to increasing temperature. Using a PID-controlled heater to blow hot air across the animals\, core temperature was controlled from mild hypothermia (35 °C) to mild hyperthermia (38 °C). At each temperature\, we imaged three to four locations of the body from head-to-toe\, and quantified blood flow and velocity\, vessel area\, and\nmeasured circumferential cyclic strain of the core vessels. Overall\, we have shown: 1) that increases in flow occur in most arteries and veins\, which is opposite to current hypotheses regarding the venous response\; 2) that the magnitude of increased flow varies based on anatomical location\; and\, 3) that the increase in flow sometimes involves cross-sectional area and velocity and other times involves only one or the other. These vascular responses are also influenced by sex and age. It is important to incorporate the cardiovascular changes occurring in the core into future bioheat or computational fluid dynamics modeling because blood flow is critical in heat\ngeneration and transfer in vivo. This research can help researchers\, clinicians\, and others interested in temperature’s effect to better model and predict cardiovascular outcomes.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s
DESCRIPTION:Can abstract art be about politics? In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color  to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender. Additional generous support is provided by the Robert and Janet Miller Fund and the University of Michigan Department of Political Science.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Manufacturing Research Seminar: Grand Challenges in U.S. Manufacturing and Innovation Ecosystem
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nAfter decades of shifting production offshore to reduce labor costs\, the United States has lost fundamental production skill and capabilities—the Industrial Commons—in many industries\, with noticeable impacts on the ability to manufacture new advanced technology products\, the national innovation system and growing adverse effects on the defense industrial base. Being the best in the world in science is important—but it’s not sufficient to create national wealth and security. We need a national strategy and investment to convert research results into successful products made in the U.S. and competitive industrial sectors. This talk will highlight the findings and recommendations made in the MForesight’s Manufacturing Prosperity report. The talk will also present a case for establishing a National Manufacturing Foundation for sustained new investment in translational R&D in engineering and manufacturing disciplines\, pilot production\, empowering small and medium sized manufacturers and growing the engineering talent.\n\nMForesight: Alliance for Manufacturing Foresight\, based at the University of Michigan\, is a federally-funded national consortium (think-and-do tank) focused on accelerating technological innovation to enhance U.S. manufacturing competitiveness\n\nBio\nSridhar Kota is the Herrick Professor of Engineering\, Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Michigan. He is the founding Executive Director of MForesight since 2015. During 2009-2012\, Prof. Kota served as the Assistant Director for Advanced Manufacturing at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) where he played an instrumental role in establishing National Manufacturing Innovation Institutes\, and National Robotics Initiative. Kota authored over 200 technical papers\, 30 patents and has received numerous awards including the ASME Machine Design Award\, Leonardo da Vinci Award\, Outstanding Educator Award and the University of Michigan Regents’ award for Distinguished Public Service and the Distinguished University Innovator Award. He is the founder of FlexSys Inc.\,  that developed the world’s first modern aircraft with shape-changing wings.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Paul Rand: The Designer's Task
DESCRIPTION:Paul Rand's visionary conceptions of brand identity \nPaul Rand was a giant of American design\, whose influential career spanned the second half of the twentieth century. His visionary and pithy conceptions of corporate and non-profit brand identities—though often graphically minimal—embody the artist’s complex philosophy\, interest in modernist aesthetics\, and singular wit. This exhibition features posters\, book covers\, and packaging designs from Rand’s beginnings as a pro bono designer for arts and culture publications like Direction magazine to his decades of crafting trailblazing corporate design for companies such as IBM. Paul Rand: The Designer’s Task affords viewers the opportunity to explore the genre of graphic design within the context of the art museum and examine how Rand’s intellectual process and impact on visual culture developed over time.\n\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Proof: The Ryoichi Excavations
DESCRIPTION:A narrative of Ryoichi's archaeological work \nThe story of Japanese archaeologist Ryoichi and evidence of his worldwide excavations are explored by Patrick Nagatani in this series of photographs. Nagatani presents a narrative of Ryoichi’s archaeological work\, supported by images of excavation sites\, unearthed artifacts\, and Ryoichi’s own journal pages. According to the photographs\, Ryoichi discovered evidence of an automobile culture buried at sites across several continents: Stonehenge\, the Grand Canyon\, and a necropolis in China. This provocative and playful series compels viewers to reflect on how photographs and institutions\, such as museums\, shape our knowledge of the past and present.\n\n

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Tailoring the Mechanics of Origami to Make Deployable & Adaptable Structures
DESCRIPTION:The art of origami can be used to create a rich variety of deployable\, reconfigurable\, and adaptable three-dimensional systems. By designing the geometry & mechanical properties of the origami\, it is possible to create engineering systems ranging from micro-robots to large-scale adaptable architecture.This talk will present his group’s work on different origami geometries and discuss how their properties are suited to making unique functional structures. They will present cellular and tubular origami which can be used for stiff large-structures and energy absorbing devices. Using\ncurved creases\, they'll show a broad range of possible geometric designs that possess highly anisotropic properties. An origami with a hyperbolic paraboloid geometry is used to achieve bistable and multi-stable characteristics that can aid in actuation. Finally\, they'll show new work on using active material systems to achieve structures that can self-assemble. Lunch will be provided.\n\nProfessor Evgueni Filipov is an assistant professor in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at the University of Michigan. His research interests lie in the field of deployable and reconfigurable structural systems. Folding and adaptable structures based on the principles of origami can have practical applications ranging in scale and discipline from biomedical robotics to deployable architecture.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Universal Declaration of Human Rights: Linocuts by Meredith Stern
DESCRIPTION:On December 10\, 1948\, in the aftermath of the devastation of World War II\, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a roadmap to guarantee the rights of every individual everywhere. The complete Declaration is comprised of a Preamble and 30 Articles. In honor of the 60th anniversary of this document\, we are exhibiting 14 Articles in the form of illustrated prints by Meredith Stern. These contemporary prints are intended both to make people aware of this rights roadmap and to show its urgent relevance in our contemporary political moment.\n\nMeredith Stern is an artist currently based in Providence\, RI\, and a member of the Justseeds Artists’ Cooperative\, a decentralized network of 30 artists committed to social\, environmental\, and political engagement. Stern created a total of 28 sets of these linocut prints in 2017\, of which one is held in the Joseph A. Labadie Collection in the Special Collections Research Center.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:“Konfrontation mit meinem Mitläufertum”: Paratextual Self-Encounters in Diaries of the Second World War
DESCRIPTION:When writers publish their diaries years after writing them\, they often append a preface or afterword\, a layer of retrospective reflection that complicates the already unique temporality of the diary’s ever-shifting present. The focus of this talk is on the self-encounters that take place in diaristic paratexts from non-Jewish Germans who wrote diaries during the Second World War. The diary’s paratexts highlight the discontinuous nature of the self\, the various ways individuals position themselves as Zeitzeugen\, and the diary’s function as a space for writerly self-construction in the context of German Aufarbeitung der Vergangenheit.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Canopy Interception: Understanding Leaf Wetness and its Influence on Vegetation Water and Carbon Fluxes
DESCRIPTION:Canopy interception of rain\, dew\, and fog occurs in ecosystems worldwide. A ubiquitous effect of leaf wetness on plant water balance is the interference of the water droplets with the leaf energy balance\, which increases leaf albedo and emissivity and decreases leaf temperature through droplet evaporation. This in turns affects the vegetation carbon uptake rate\, with potential consequences for the whole global carbon cycle. Here\, I use the specific example of dew deposition to understand how leaf wetness affects water and CO2 fluxes of plants. First\, I will present a simple leaf energy balance that characterizes the effect of deposition and the evaporation of dew on transpiration and carbon uptake. The model is driven by five common meteorological variables and is used to explore the tradeoffs between energy\, water\, and carbon balances for leaves of different sizes across a range of environmental conditions. I will then present results from a laboratory experiment\nwhere Colocasia esculenta leaves were misted with isotopically enriched water to mimic canopy interception. Leaf water isotopes and water potential measurements corroborates the results of the model.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: The Geologic History of Seawater δ18O
DESCRIPTION:The isotopic composition of O in seawater (δ18O) is a fundamental property of Earth’s oceans\, which is key to paleoclimate reconstructions and to our understanding of the origin of water on Earth\, the water-rock reactions that govern seawater chemistry\, and the conditions under which life emerged. Despite more than five decades of research\, the coupled long-term geologic history of seawater temperature and δ18O remains a topic of intense debate. The problem exists because the δ18O values measured in marine sedimentary rocks (e.g.\, carbonates\, cherts) reflect both their temperature of formation and the δ18O of the seawater from which they formed. This duality has prevented a unique interpretation of a long-term secular increase in δ18O values recorded in marine sedimentary rocks\, which can be used to infer either much warmer (>70°C) early oceans\, much more 18O-depleted seawater\, or a combination of the two. We addressed this problem with a new record of δ18O in iron oxides formed in shallow marine environments through time. The new record shows that the long-term secular increase observed in the δ18O values of various marine precipitates is due to enrichment of seawater in 18O rather than in a gradual cooling of Earth’s oceans. The record suggests that Earth’s climate has been mostly warm and stable over the past 3.5 billion years\, implying the existence of efficient climate stabilization feedbacks. A possible driver of the long-term increase in seawater δ18O values is decreasing heat production in the Earth’s interior through time and its effect on seafloor spreading rates and oceanic plate lifetimes. As the water-rock interactions that govern seawater δ18O through time are also those that drive the chemical evolution of the oceans\, a robust seawater δ18O record importantly also informs the long-term evolution of seawater chemistry.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:CMENAS Film Screening. \"Rachel\"
DESCRIPTION:On March 16\, 2003\, in the almost uninterrupted tide of Middle Eastern current affairs and just before the war in Iraq\, a small tragic event was reported by some press agencies\, just a few lines in the newspaper\, or a 45 -second report on television: A young American peace activist was killed in the Gaza Strip\, crushed by an Israeli bulldozer while she was trying to prevent the destruction of a Palestinian house. \n    \n   A few weeks later\, some media reports mentioned that the Israeli military police conducted an inquiry\, concluding that Rachel Corrie's death was accidental. Despite many eyewitnesses claims that she was intentionally murdered by the bulldozer driver\, the American administration never asked for an independent inquiry\, and the case was classified and forgotten. \n    \n   Five years later\, director Simone Bitton is somehow doing what a court should have done. \"RACHEL\" is a deep cinema investigation into the death of a young unknown girl\, made with a rigour and scope normally reserved for first-rate historical characters. It gives word to all the people involved in Rachel's story\, from Palestinian and international witnesses to Israeli military spokespersons and investigators\, doctors\, activists and soldiers linked to the affair. The film begins as a classical documentary\, but very soon it develops and transcends its subject\, transforming into a cinematographic meditation on youth\, war\, idealism and political utopia. Palestine\, the reality of which is filmed close-up\, becomes a metaphor - a tomb for a child of today. \n\n---\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CSAS Lecture Series | Understanding the New Credibility Regimes of Development: The Politics of Sanitary Pads as a Pro-Poor Technology in India
DESCRIPTION:Technology has long played a central role in efforts to alleviate global poverty\, with international NGOs and developed world governments using it as an important modernization tool. But these interventions have had mixed impacts: in addition to perpetuating the West’s dominance\, these technologies are often simply rejected by citizens in the developing world because they do not embody relevant values and priorities. But in recent years the international development landscape has changed. The players involved have diversified\, now including international and local NGOs\, social entrepreneurs and innovators\, venture capitalists\, universities\, and developing world governments. And\, there have been growing calls to ensure that interventions are “evidence-based”\, preferably deployed on the basis of large-scale\, quantitative evidence and even randomized controlled trials. How have these changes affect the pro-poor technology landscape and its politics? What are the implications for citizens in the developing world? In this paper I explore these questions by focusing on the politics of the sanitary pad in India. In recent years\, “period poverty” has come to be seen as an important development issue\, with sanitary pads becoming the main solution. Rather than the result of systematic and unbiased evidence gathering\, however\, I argue that this problem and solution are the result of the new credibility regimes that underlie development governance today. I pay attention to how and why particular kinds of interventions are recognized and validated by public and private\, large and small\, development initiatives. Indeed\, even the definitions of knowledge and expertise are shaped by these priorities. The national and international media play important roles in influencing the sanitary pad intervention as well. Finally\, I explore how these politics shape the role\, rights\, and responsibilities of the female citizen in India.\n\nShobita Parthasarathy is Professor of Public Policy and Women's Studies\, and Director of the Science\, Technology\, and Public Policy Program\, at University of Michigan. She is interested in how technological innovation\, and innovation systems\, can better achieve public interest and social justice goals\, as well as in the politics of knowledge and expertise in science and technology policy. Her current research focuses on the politics of technology for the poor\, with a focus in India.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Information Extraction from Online Text --- from Opinions to Arguments to Persuasion
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: A long line of research in Natural Language Processing (NLP)\, including our own\, has addressed the task of identifying and extracting information about opinions with the goal of determining what people (and other entities) are thinking or feeling.  In this talk\, I'll present new research on argument mining\, a relatively new area of study in NLP that focuses less on extracting from text WHAT people think or feel\, but rather analyzing argumentative text to understand WHY they do so. Specifically\, I will first present some of our new research on the automatic analysis of informal\, user-generated arguments in which we aim to expose the intended underlying structure of the argument. Next\, I'll present our research that examines arguments on a public debate forum to understand what makes one argument more convincing than another.  \n\nBio: Claire Cardie is the John C. Ford Professor of Engineering in the Departments of Computer Science and Information Science at Cornell University. She was the founding Chair of Cornell's Information\nScience Department and has worked in the area of topics ranging from information extraction\, text summarization and noun phrase coreference resolution to the automatic analysis of opinions\, sentiment and deception in text. Cardie was selected as a Fellow of the Association for Computational Linguistics in 2015. She has served on the executive committees of the ACL\, NAACL and AAAI\, and has been Program Chair for EMNLP\, CoNLL\, ACL and COLING as well as General Chair this past July for ACL 2018 in Melbourne.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Martin Luther King\, Jr. Linguistics Colloquium: \"Sociolinguistic Justice and Transgender Lives\"
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Linguistics Department for a special MLK Colloquium featuring Lal Zimman\, Assistant Professor of Linguistics\, University of California\, Santa Barbara\, who will speak on \"Sociolinguistic Justice and Transgender Lives.\" \n\nA reception will immediately follow on the third-floor terrace of East Hall (just below room 4448).\n\nABSTRACT\nSociolinguistic Justice and Transgender Lives\n\nOver the past decade\, transgender people have moved from a marginalized position in American society to a level of visibility that Time magazine characterized in 2015 as a “transgender tipping point.” With this growth in visibility\, we can see both increased sensitivity to trans people’s experiences and increased vulnerability to widescale transphobia\, particularly at the institutional level. While trans issues were hardly on the political radar in the 1990s and 2000s\, trans communities today have become a major target of exclusionary laws and practices.\n\nLanguage has played a major role in the uncertain place of trans communities in contemporary American society\; indeed\, being trans is as much about language as it is about clothing\, hairstyles\, and medical interventions. We can see the crystallization of linguistic conflict on college campuses in particular\, where discussions of names\, pronouns\, and identity labels have led to national\, and even international\, debates on questions like whether people should be given the power to select the pronouns others should use when talking about them. Yet Linguists have only rarely weighed in on these issues on the broad scale\, despite possessing a number of tools and principles that can help us understand the language reform efforts in which trans people are engaged.\n\nThis talk focuses on three domains of language in order to explore the critiques being levied by trans language reform activists\, the responses to those critiques by non-trans people\, and how linguistics might inform these debates. The first aspect of language discussed is the English pronoun system – the highest profile and perhaps most contentious aspect of trans language reform in the United States. I discuss the political discourses surrounding pronoun practices and how trans activists are pushing not only for new pronouns\, but new ways of thinking and talking about pronouns. The second linguistic issue is talk about the body. While self-identification is increasingly recognized as determining a person’s social gender\, bodies are typically seen as having an “objective truth” that is not susceptible to self-definition. Here I explore the ways trans people are advancing alternative models for understanding “biological sex” that recognizes the highly social nature of human embodiment. The final aspect of linguistic structure discussed here is grammatical gender systems in languages that display much more extensive marking of gender than English does. Here I also reflect on language pedagogy and how the strategies for teaching these languages perpetuates trans exclusion.\n\nEach aspect of language discussed in this talk highlights the material impacts that language has on trans lives. We can draw a direct line between language and trans people’s oppression\, and for this reason we each have a moral obligation to consider the implications of our own language use. The talk concludes with a discussion of the relationship between linguistics and transgender communities\, arguing that the relative absence of trans people from our discipline should push us to consider the potential exclusionary effects of our models of language and how our academic work might be used to empower this still highly marginalized community.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:NERS Colloquium:  Rachel Slaybaugh\, University of California\, Berkeley
DESCRIPTION:Title: Creating the Future of Nuclear Energy\n\nAbstract: The nuclear energy industry is at a crossroads: existing nuclear reactors are struggling to operate economically in some tough markets\, and construction of new designs in the U.S. is slow and over budget. At the same time\, interest in and development of the next generation of nuclear reactors is growing at an unprecedented rate\, and some other nations are building new reactors efficiently. Can the current fleet reduce costs? Will the next generation of designs be \"walkaway safe\" and cost-competitive? What about safeguards and recycling of nuclear fuel? Many new technologies\, including Data Analytics and Machine Learning\, can be impactful in answering these questions. This talk will frame some of the big challenges in nuclear energy and how new technologies are starting to be used. We'll also look to the future in terms of where the biggest impacts are likely to be and what we can do to move quickly.\n\nBio: Rachel Slaybaugh is an Assistant Professor of Nuclear Engineering at the University of California\, Berkeley. Prof. Slaybaugh researches computational methods applied to nuclear reactors\, nuclear non-proliferation and security\, and shielding. Slaybaugh is currently serving as a Program Director at ARPA-E. She is also a Senior Fellow at the Breakthrough Institute and at the Berkeley Institute of Data Science. \n \nSlaybaugh received a BS in Nuclear Engineering from Penn State\, where she served as a licensed nuclear reactor operator\, and a PhD from University of Wisconsin–Madison in Nuclear Engineering and Engineering Physics with a certificate in Energy Analysis and Policy. Slaybaugh’s Rickover Fellowship took her to Bettis Atomic Power Laboratory prior to joining Berkeley.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Seminar Title: \"Architecture and Molecular Control of Cell-Cycle Entry and Exit Pathways:  A Live-Cell Tale of Phosphorylation\, Transcription and Degradation \"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Mammals must regulate the proliferation of stem\, progenitor and differentiated cells to build\, maintain\, and repair tissues. Control of cell-cycle entry and exit has been conceptualized by the restriction point\, a time when cells escape the need for mitogens to complete the cell cycle. Our single-cell microscopy studies discovered instead two parallel and partially redundant pathways to enter the cell cycle out of quiescence and three pathways out of mitosis. In lieu of a sharp restriction point\, we find a progressive stabilization of both increasing CDK4/6 and CDK2 activities when tested by mitogen removal or stress\, a stabilization that ends with an irreversible commitment point driven by multiple positive feedbacks. I will delineate core principles\, molecular mechanisms and timing of this fundamental cell-fate commitment whose abnormal regulation is a main cause for cancer.

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.
