SUMMARY:Performance:VOICES feat. Al Bettis & Ki5 with Aviva Match
DESCRIPTION:Acoustic soul and indie folk\n\nInspired at age 30\, singer/songwriter Al Bettis picked up a guitar and a notepad and got to work. The self-trained acoustic guitarist has gained popularity for his smooth vocals and sincere lyrics. His shows are a journey through love\, heartbreak and redemption as he offers stories about the musings behind many of his songs. Reminiscent of legends like Al Green and Otis Redding\, with musical influence from artists such as Ed Sheeran and Jason Mraz his soothing voice and raw sound is something you surely want to experience. \n\nAnn Arbor’s electrifying musical maestro\, Kyler Wilkins aka Ki5\, is back on the Ark stage! He’s delighted to be joined once again by vocalist Aviva Match who carries a powerful\, sincere tone that compliments his breathy\, heartfelt vocal expressions.  \nDriven by a love of vocal harmony and coming off the 2026 release of the MIND EP\, Ki5 is excited to share intricately designed and entirely spontaneous moments of playful musicality with his hometown. His performance is a soul-stirring experience that transcends genres and defies expectations. Once again\, he’s not just bringing you music – he’s taking you on an exhilarating journey through the sonic universe as soulfully performed vocal lines collide with each other\, beatboxing\, and possibly even instrumentation.\n\nDrawing inspiration from musical luminaries like Reggie Watts\, Bobby McFerrin\, and Bon Iver\, Ki5’s authentic\, empathetic\, and liberating style is nothing short of transformative.\n\nVoices is a series of artist-cultivated concerts at The Ark conceived and created by Ann Arbor musician Kyler Wilkins\, AKA vocal looping artist Ki5. The series seeks to expand the representation of Michigan BIPOC artists and audiences at The Ark. Each show\, intentional time will be taken to get to know each artist in the form of brief interviews and musical breaks to have them speak about their journey as musicians and performers with the hope that people in the audience are more connected to and inspired by those voices.
