SUMMARY:Performance:UMS presents: Sofa Stories: Stories on Stage and Screen
DESCRIPTION:Real experiences. Real Voices. Real Stories. Detroit’s acclaimed Sofa Stories theater project comes to Ypsilanti for the first time.\n\nFeaturing three short films interspersed with original monologues\, Sofa Stories amplifies the stories of young people impacted by housing insecurity or homelessness who may have resorted to couch-surfing as a means to survive. Hear moments of joy\, resilience\, and connection\, and not just hardship — the person who showed up for them\, or the person working inside a difficult system who genuinely cared.\n\nThrough the power of theater and film\, Every Soul Arts inspires empathy\, dialogue\, and community action. “If there’s one thing I’ve learned from the young people I work with\, it’s that they’re remarkably resilient and resourceful…and that’s a lesson worth learning from.” — Andrew Morton\, Artistic Director and Sofa Stories creator

SUMMARY:Performance:David Nail: Down To The Studs
DESCRIPTION:Hailing from Kennett\, Missouri\, David Nail is well-respected up and down Music Row. Some might even call him a “tour de force” as his songs pull no punches in evoking the demons with which he has wrestled through much of his life. \n\nThe GRAMMY-nominated multi-platinum singer/songwriter’s early releases\, I’m About To Come Alive\, The Sound Of A Million Dreams\, I’m A Fire and Fighter\, ignited his reputation as an innovator and creative risk-taker yet left Nail feeling restless. This led to the departure of the only record company home he’d ever known\, MCA Nashville\, where he’d formed friendships that endure even now. Through dealing with his own journey of mental health and the feeling of needing to “rebel against what people expect you to be\,” Nail began making his most “organic” work to date\, David Nail & The Well Ravens\, with Jason Hall and Andrew Petroff. That project liberated Nail and propelled him into his next adventure. Writing solo for the next few months led to his debut solo independent EP Oh\, Mother\, a reflective piece of work. Of the title track\, Rolling Stone noted that “the song creeps in like a sunrise — quiet\, restrained cello and keys are the only underpinning for Nail’s powerful vocals at first. But then it slowly builds to something more massive and majestic.” That release was followed by Bootheel 2020 and Bootheel 2021\, projects dedicated to the singer/songwriter’s hometown in the “bootheel” of Missouri. Nail released an EP titled Best of Me in 2023 and the title track has seen heavy press support and country radio airplay. 2024 brought more touring than ever\, two great single releases “If I Could Call” and “Why” featuring Aubrie Sellers. \n\nNail plans on releasing the start of an excitingly different and elevated album project this year leaving behind any self-imposed restrictions. In Nail’s own words\, “My philosophy has always been\, I just hope to have a good enough year that I can have a next year while staying as true to myself as I possibly can.”

SUMMARY:Performance:Symphony Band

Robert Reynolds served as the 6th Director of Bands at the University of Michigan from 1975 to 2001\, and then as the conductor of the University of Southern California's Wind Ensemble for another two decades after his retirement from U-M.
