Rainbows appear across the spectrum of our collections\, and this exhibit includes a handwritten illuminated manuscript\, practical color manuals of the industrial age\, contemporary artists’ and children’s books\, and more from our vast holdings. \n\nRainbows have captivated people for all of recorded history. It’s hard not to think of them as physical objects\, but they are really just distorted images of the sun\, positioned around the viewer’s head. They require someone to perceive them to exist\, and thus have much in common with colors and color theory in general. And\, like colors\, they are about relationships: of one color next to another\, and of colors and the people who see them. The rainbow has had many different cultural interpretations over the years\, and most recently has become synonymous with gay pride\, appearing all over each June.\n\nHatcher Gallery Exhibit Room Hours:\nSunday\, 2-8pm\nMonday-Thursday\, 9am-8pm\nFriday\, 9am-4pm\nSaturday\, 11am-5pm UID:134798-21875188@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/134798 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room (1st floor) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250529T110505 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250628T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250628T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Beyond Survival DESCRIPTION:Join us for Beyond Survival\, an exhibition of works by incarcerated artists in Michigan presented by PCAP co-founder Janie Paul and the Flint Institute of the Arts.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621634@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251030T111431 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250628T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250628T124500 SUMMARY:Exhibition:We Are Stars DESCRIPTION:What are we made of?

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n  UID:84303-21621635@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/84303 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,European,Exhibition,History,Museum,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - European and American Decorative Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251030T111431 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250629T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250629T124500 SUMMARY:Exhibition:We Are Stars DESCRIPTION:What are we made of?

The work in this thesis focuses on addressing challenges in analyzing reduced models of two cornerstone enzymatic mechanisms: Michaelis–Menten (MM) mechanism and Intermolecular Autocatalytic Zymogen Activation (IAZA) mechanism. For the MM model\, we investigate the parametric conditions under which the standard quasi-steady-state approximation (QSSA) is not only valid but also predominant among competing reductions\, a distinction that guides optimal model selection for experimental design. Using the theory of fences and anti-funnels\, we derive sharp error bounds for the standard QSSA and introduce a new and more restrictive qualifier that ensures its predominance. For the IAZA model\, we analyze a perturbation regime that exhibits a dynamic transcritical bifurcation. Since classical reduction theory fails at bifurcations\, we implement the blow-up method to estimate the solutions and validate the well-known QSSA(s) near the bifurcation. \n\nA second focus of this thesis is the development of a gradient-based optimization framework for fitting noisy differential equation models of neuronal sleep-wake behavior to discrete sleep score data for rodents. Leveraging automatic differentiation and maximum mean discrepancy\, we optimize a physiologically motivated flip-flop model of interacting neuronal populations by incorporating exogenous noise. Our results show that modeling noise in both neural firing activity and the homeostatic sleep drive is essential to replicate the complex\, polyphasic structure of rodent sleep.

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.

A native of Detroit\, Vitale's work is celebrated as part of the second generation of the Cass Corridor Art Movement\, Detroit’s first avante garde. His art draws inspiration from the sweeping vistas of farmland seen from above\, the intricate patterns of quilt-making\, the dynamic energy of cityscapes\, and the rich tapestry of daily life. Vitale eloquently characterizes his mesmerizing oil paintings and prints as “kinetic\, metaphysical abstractions\,” inviting viewers to engage with the depth and vitality of his creative vision.\n\nVitale received his Bachelor of Fine Arts and Masters of Fine Arts from Wayne State University in Detroit. His work can be found in many collections including The Whitney Museum of Fine Art in New York\, The Detroit Institute of Art\, Cranbrook Art Museum\, Wayne State University Collection\, University of Michigan Museum of Art and corporate\, hospital\, and private collections throughout the country.

The term \"crown\" is deeply symbolic in Black culture\, signifying beauty\, strength\, and identity. The featured photo essay by photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks.\n\nThrough their narratives and portraits\, the exhibit examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy\, inviting the audience to witness their stories with radical empathy.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’....

She was Alexander Hamilton’s “saucy” sister-in-law\, and the heart of Thomas Jefferson’s “charming coterie” of artists and salonnières in Paris. Her transatlantic network of important friends spanned the political spectrum of her time and place\, and her astute eye and brilliant letters kept them well informed.\n\nA woman of great influence in a time of influential women (Catherine the Great and Marie-Antoinette were contemporaries)\, Angelica was at the red-hot center of American history at its birth: in Boston\, when General Burgoyne surrendered to the revolutionaries\; in Newport\, receiving French troops under the command of her soon-to-be dear friend Marquis de Lafayette\; in Yorktown\, just after the decisive battle\; in Paris and London\, helping to determine the standing of the new nation on the world stage.\n\nShe was born as Engeltje\, a Dutch-speaking\, slave-owning colonial girl who witnessed the Stamp Act riots in the Royal British Province of New York. She came of age under English rule as Angelica\, the eldest daughter of the most important family on the northern part of Hudson’s River\, raised to be a domestic diplomat responsible for hosting indigenous chiefs and enemy British generals at dinner. She was Madame Church\, wife of a privateer turned merchant banker\, whose London house was a refuge for veterans of the American war fleeing the guillotine in France. Across nationalities\, languages\, and cultures\, across the divides of war\, grievance\, and geography\, Angelica wove a web of soft-power connections that spanned the War for Independence\, the post-war years of tenuous peace\, and the turbulent politics and rival ideologies that threatened to tear apart the nascent United States\n\nIn this enthralling and revealing woman’s-eye view of a revolutionary era\, Molly Beer breathes vibrant new life into a period usually dominated by masculine themes and often dulled by familiarity. In telling Angelica’s story\, she illuminates how American women have always plied influence and networks for political ends\, including the making of a new nation.

While much of robotics research focuses on either fully manual control or fully autonomous operation\, real-world applications increasingly demand a middle ground\, where perception\, decision-making\, and control are distributed between human and machine. Through four case studies\, this work examines supervisory scenarios that vary in control authority and information flow: from autonomous robot formations that adapt to uncertain human motion\, to mixed reality interfaces for spatial command\, to passive haptic feedback for improving takeover performance\, and finally to collaborative interventions for failure recovery. Taken together\, these studies contribute new tools\, insights\, and empirical evidence toward designing supervision not as a fallback mode\, but as an active\, embodied\, and scalable form of human–robot interaction.

The term \"crown\" is deeply symbolic in Black culture\, signifying beauty\, strength\, and identity. The featured photo essay by photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks.\n\nThrough their narratives and portraits\, the exhibit examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy\, inviting the audience to witness their stories with radical empathy. It explores the cultural pride and personal identity intricately tied to their hair\, and how these elements are redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThe exhibit will be on view from January 21\, 2025 to August 8\, 2025.

Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’....

Even tireless founder and lead songwriter Z. Lupetin would agree you have to come to a show to find out. Going strong into their second decade after starting from a humble Craigslist ad posted in bohemian Venice Beach\, some would say Dustbowl’s ever-evolving collective (there have been nearly thirty members!) plays a spicy cocktail of folky-funk or booty-shaking jangly rock n’ soul: expertly mixing their New Orleans-tinted brass section with their signature Laurel Canyon harmonies and fearless lyrics.\n\nIn 2019 the group completed a successful run of performing art centers paying homage to their heroes in The Band and in 2025 Dustbowl is embarking on a new run of theaters and festivals showcasing the music of LA’s Laurel Canyon. A brassy Beatles cover will come this fall followed by a new record of originals slated for early 2025 - recorded in a cabin studio in Wisconsin with noted engineer Brian Joseph (Bon Iver\, Sufjan Stevens). \n\nHowever you sip their sound\, Dustbowl Revival has become a beloved fixture of the Americana community - from playing tiny speakeasies and pubs around their southern California base\, to headlining thousands of shows in ten countries and counting.

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.

While his music is rooted in what might now be called traditional rock and roll\, he’s a product of the Chicago blues players whom he heard in the clubs and at the Ann Arbor Blues & Jazz Festival. His artistry extends to many streams of twentieth-century music: country\, pop\, and a remarkable amount of jazz in which he artfully reduces ensemble arrangements to the dimensions of a small rock band. He’s a guitar polymath”. (James M. Manheim\, The Ann Arbor Observer)\n\nA founding member of the Silvertones\, in 1984 he formed the first version of the Kingpins.

The same thing that led David Ferguson and Grammy Award winning producer and Black Keys frontman Dan Auerbach to co-write and produce their 14th album “Mockingbird” (2018) and release it on his own label Easy Eye Sound alongside cultural icons such as Hank Williams Jr. and Dr. John: The Gibson Brothers are the real deal. They can pick. They can sing .And they can write a damn good country song. They’ve won about every bluegrass award you can name and released albums on almost every premier Americana label you can think of including Sugar Hill and Rounder\, and\, if that’s not enough\, their songs have been recorded by bluegrass legends no less than Del McCoury.

Storytelling has been an anchor of Lee's music since the very beginning. Raised by Taiwanese parents in Nashville\, TN\, he left home during his teenage years and headed to Indiana\, where he obtained college degrees in literature and journalism. Lee launched his career as a genre-bending musician after returning to Tennessee\, quickly progressing from dive bar gigs to high-profile opening slots (including shows with Jason Isbell\, Los Lobos\, Molly Tuttle\, and other artists who\, like him\, blurred the lines between roots-rock\, country\, and other forms of American folk music) to his own headlining shows. Throughout it all\, he drew upon the narrative skills he'd sharpened as a student. If albums like Honky-Tonk Hell and The Hometown Kid often unfolded like autobiographical entries from his road journal\, then Drink the River shows an even broader range of his storytelling abilities. Lee isn't just writing songs about himself\; he's writing songs about all of us. And maybe\, in doing so\, he can bring us a little closer together. \n\nKing Margo is a magnetic alt-country/Americana act based in Nashville\, TN. Their album “Waters Rise” is filled with what Saving Country Music proclaims as “interesting and curious textures throughout\, unique and unexpected approaches to songs\, and inspired songwriting graced by soaring performances.” The heart of the group is duo Lucciana Costa and Rachel Coats\, though they often bring their friends along for a full band experience. King Margo is a road-tested band through and through\, and they are known for putting on a high-energy show complimented by thoughtful songwriting.

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\n On 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.” UID:136045-21877723@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/136045 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Mutotix LOCATION:ARK Reserved CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250617T100840 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250908T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:The Milk Carton Kids DESCRIPTION:“A night with the Milk Carton Kids is an unforgettable night of entertainment” –Folk Alley\n\nFounded in 2011\, The Milk Carton Kids — Joey Ryan and Kenneth Pattengale — swiftly emerged as a major force in the American folk tradition\, blending ethereal harmonies and intricate musicianship with a uniquely powerful brand of contemporary songcraft.

Soon after the arrival of her acclaimed debut Expectations—a 2020 LP on which she documented her journey in growing up queer in the Christian South—the Georgia-bred singer / songwriter / guitarist heard from countless listeners that her songs had impacted their lives on an elemental level. With her sophomore album Mantras\, the Nashville-based musician now looks inward to explore such matters as gender identity\, self-compassion or the lack thereof\, and the struggle for peace in times of chaos and uncertainty—ultimately arriving at a body of work that speaks to the strength in undoing harmful self-beliefs and fully living your truth.\n\nMainly produced by Collin Pastore and Jake Finch (both known for their work with boygenius and Lucy Dacus)\, Mantras delves deeper into the empathetic storytelling and incisive self-examination that defined Expectations—an album that earned Pruitt a nomination for Emerging Artist of the Year from the Americana Music Association\, in addition to drawing praise from major outlets like Rolling Stone and Pitchfork. This time around\, Pruitt sets her lived-in lyricism to a folk-leaning sound informed by her love for the more experimental edges of indie-rock\, stacking her songs with plenty of propulsive grooves and overdriven guitars.\n\nLooking over the tracklist to Mantras\, Pruitt notes that a certain narrative thread emerged without her intention. “I didn’t realize it at the time\, but the throughline for this record ended up being my own personal journey of letting go and learning how to love myself again—it begins with tension\, frustration\, and fear and resolves to a place of acceptance\, surrender\, and stillness\,” she says. “I hope when people hear the record they feel what I felt after writing it\, which was a sense of trusting myself and trusting that—no matter how bad things look—there’s always hope where there’s fear. I know that so much of the time we feel alone in our pain\, so hopefully these songs help everyone to see that they can work through those big life changes and end up loving themselves a lot more.” UID:136044-21877722@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/136044 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Mutotix LOCATION:ARK Reserved CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250604T101251 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250911T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:The Langan Band DESCRIPTION:“That a few guys from Glasgow could conspire to create such an immense sound between them is not unprecedented\, but to achieve this with such lyrical and instrumental flair is a rare\, rare thing” –Folk Radio UK\n\nFor over 15 years now\, the three members of The Langan Band have been carving out their own lawlessly virtuosic path of sound\; rampaging through the boundaries of conventional genre and cavorting into the territories of wild abandon\, purest intimacy\, and unconditional musical elation.\n\nThe trio were initially brought together by a deep respect of traditional song and music\, yet they discovered a mutual love of the evisceration and regeneration of these pieces into provocative and fascinating new compositions\, as was recognised by the band winning the prestigious Danny Kyle Award at Glasgow’s Celtic Connections Festival at the start of their journey together. This sound and process went on to inform the band’s now mostly original repertoire\, and has resulted in a musical experience quite unlike any other.\n\nAyrshire-born John Langan is found centre-stage\, seated on an explosive foot percussion rig of his own devising and fronting the trio with intricate fiery guitar rhythms and witheringly sweet and scathing vocals. To his right stands Alastair Caplin\, a classically trained violinist equally discerning in both the London Prog-Folk/Jazz scenes he occupied for years and also the blistering traditional reels and jigs of his native Outer Hebrides. Stage left is the domain of Angus-born Dave Tunstall and his double bass\; from here emanates a seductive concoction of eerily-bowed soundscapes\, heart-stopping bass lines\, and in conjunction with Caplin’s blurred bowing a truly monumental wall of orchestral noise. The sound of the group reaches its zenith when all of these instruments are joined by the three voices singing together in razor-tight harmony to create an absolute cacophony of joy.\n\nWhilst it is possible to see the evidence of influences the band have drawn on and enjoyed (Trad. Scots music\, Eastern European Gypsy\, Bluegrass and American Old-Time to name a few)\, the true nature of the sound from The Langan Band is best described as un-pigeon-holeable\, yet utterly irresistible.\n\nIn 2024 the band broke onto the North American market with 5 tours of USA & Canada. Through huge mainstage performances at festivals such as Telluride Bluegrass and radio play such as the prestigious Mountain Stage Radio\, they are building a loyal and wild new fanbase across the Atlantic.

Inciting critical applause\, Pop Matters raved\, “All of Craigie’s songs are made of something truly ineffable\,” and American Highways assured\, “Along with excellent musicianship across the album\, there are genuinely pretty moments on ‘Pagan Church.’” Meanwhile\, he joined forces with Langhorne Slim for a duet song “Out On The Road.” \n\nTo him\, the live albums seek to achieve a sound where the listener will feel like they’re in the venue\, sitting and experiencing the show with the rest of the crowd.

Carlisle’s music has always been a dance between absurdity\, spectacle\, and philosophy. On his fourth studio album\, Winged Victory\, Carlisle returns with his signature blend of traditionally-rooted folk music and kaleidoscope of oddball characters to confer with his core tenets in more overt and provocative ways. \n\nCarlisle delivers Victory as the next chapter in his long-running direct address to the hope that by understanding our collective suffering we might be free of it. He’s intent on creating art and a well-rounded life in a broken world. The idea began with 2022’s Peculiar\, Missouri when Carlisle proclaimed “your heart’s a big tent\, everybody gets in.” After gathering together all the world’s weirdos and misfits under the big tent\, with 2024’s Critterland\, Carlisle let them loose into the world. Now\, on Winged Victory\, they speak for themselves\, unencumbered by social expectations. \n \nVictory\, Carlisle’s first self-produced album\, will be released June 27 via Signature Sounds. It both indulges a few of his wildest dreams (including a version of Richard Thompson’s “Beeswing\,” among several traditional folk song covers)\, and feels like the inevitable sequel to Critterland’s charismatic menagerie of chaos. Though occasionally raunchy\, and routinely provocative\, Victory is not afraid to make a spectacle for the sake of a point. Victory should be understood as a reflection. It revels in the beauty of tiny\, monetarily-worthless moments and things\, offering with them a consideration of our innate humanity.

They’ve packed concert venues even in years between releases\, crowdfunded an ambitious music video in hours\, and joined by the hundreds when she launched her “music x climate action” Patreon in 2022.\n\nThat kind of devotion has poured forth since 2002’s Waking Hour\, which landed her on NPR’s Weekend Edition\, The Late Show with David Letterman\, and the top of Amazon’s music charts. Across four more studio albums that followed - the chamber folk of Warm Strangers\, the jazz-inflected Dreaming Through the Noise\, the indie epic Inland Territory\, the bright electro-pop in Aims - Vienna has paid homage to her genre-bending heroes like Paul Simon and Tori Amos\, while carving a path all her own. Together with her captivating live performances and thoughtful online presence\, her work has built a loyal following across generations and continents. \n\nVienna’s new mini-EP We’ve Got You reflects the complexity of her life over the past decade: climate change work\, community building\, parenthood. Two songs\, each titled “We’ve Got You\,” act like fraternal twins: one an indie-pop tribute to inspiring leaders\, the other a chamber-folk paean to unsung caregivers. Played simultaneously\, they reveal a new intricate whole: a mashup by design\, and a love letter to social movements.\n\nAppropriately\, Vienna now also hosts climate action workshops on tour and online\, which participants have described as “rocket fuel” and “the perfect antidote to despair.” It’s an exciting new chapter in the ever-evolving love story between an artist and her audience.

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. The 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. \n\nThrough 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. \n\n2024 brought more touring than ever\, two great single releases “If I Could Call” and “Why” featuring Aubrie Sellers. Nail 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.” UID:136322-21878497@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/136322 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Mutotix LOCATION:ARK Reserved CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250722T121529 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251024T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250522T010000 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Ice Hockey vs Western Michigan DESCRIPTION:Ice Hockey vs Western Michigan UID:135791-21877267@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/135791 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Athletics,Athletics - Ice Hockey LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251024T181533 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251024T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250521T010000 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Men's Soccer vs Northwestern DESCRIPTION:Men's Soccer vs Northwestern UID:135761-21877233@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/135761 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Athletics,Athletics - Men's Soccer LOCATION:U-M Soccer Stadium CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20250603T110109 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251024T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:Steve Poltz DESCRIPTION:No description is provided. \nPlease visit https://mutotix.umich.edu/5844/5845 for more detail.

Save for producer Thom Monahan\, reuniting with Johnson for the first time since Fruit Bats’ 2019 breakthrough Gold Past Life\, it’s just Johnson in the room\, meaning that when the turntable’s needle meets Baby Man’s groove\, it’s just him and the listener\, mutually in for a reckoning.
