Erelli exploded out of the gate in 1999 when he won the prestigious Kerrville New Folk Award in the wake of his \u201causpicious debut\u201d (Billboard), joining the ranks of previous honorees like Lyle Lovett and Nanci Griffith. More recently, Erelli penned the anti-gun violence song \u201cBy Degrees,\u201d recorded in collaboration with Rosanne Cash, Sheryl Crow, and others, which garnered a nomination for Song of the Year at the 2019 Americana Honors and Awards. He followed this honor with a pair of records that drew comparisons to both Tom Petty and John Prine, as well as praise for their energy, grace, and resilience. Now, on his fourteenth solo album Spring Green, Erelli delivers his most cohesive and emotionally resonant work to date\u2014a meditation on vulnerability, endurance, and renewal. \r\n\r\nFollowing 2023\u2019s Lay Your Darkness Down, which chronicled his response to vision loss from retinitis pigmentosa, Spring Green finds Erelli in a place of hard-won peace. Co-produced with longtime collaborator Zachariah Hickman and tracked largely live over three days, the album feels fluid and organic\u2014more watercolor painting than photographic snapshot. Its intimate sound recalls classic singer-songwriters like Jackson Browne and James Taylor, prioritizing storytelling and emotional clarity over stylistic showmanship.\r\n\r\nBy choosing to release Spring Green independently through Bandcamp and personally fulfilling each order, Erelli reaffirms his commitment to authentic connection over industry convention. The album stands as both an artistic statement and a survival guide\u2014proof that true strength lies in softness, and that being wholly oneself is more than enough.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"142201-21890202@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/142201", "building_id":"", "building_name":"", "building_official_id":"", "campus_maps_id":"", "campus_maps_link_path":"", "campus_maps_link":"", "room":"", "location_name":"ARK Reserved", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"See Site For Pricing Information", "tags":["Ark","Mutotix"], "website":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6190\/6191", "links":[ { "type":"tickets", "url":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6190\/6191", "title":"Purchase tickets here!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/theark.org\/support-the-ark\/", "title":"Support The Ark!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/www.markerelli.com\/", "title":"Mark Erelli" }, { "type":"youtube", "url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zguZUSgKm-0", "title":"Mark Erelli - You're Gonna Wanna Remember This (Official Music Video)" } ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)", "group_id":"1053", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142201_original-1.jpg", "image_description":"Mark Erelli", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142201_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142201_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142201_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142201_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142201_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142201_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142201_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142201_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142201_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142201_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142201_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142201_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142201_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142201_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142201_original-1.jpg" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/142201\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21890202 } , { "id":"144185-21894806", "datetime_modified":"20260121T093433", "datetime_start":"20260507T200000", "datetime_end":"", "has_end_time":0, "date_start":"2026-05-07", "date_end":"", "time_start":"20:00:00", "time_end":"", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"For Pete's Sake: Pete Seeger Birthday Concert", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"For Pete's Sake: Pete Seeger Birthday Concert: Presented by The Ark", "event_subtitle":"Presented by The Ark", "event_type":"Performance", "event_type_id":"15", "description":"\u201cA good song reminds us what we're fighting for.\u201d \u2013Pete Seeger\n\nThe annual Pete Seeger Birthday Concert returns to The Ark with an all-star celebration honoring the life and work of singer, songwriter, activist, and national conscience, Pete Seeger, who passed in 2014.

For seven years, my husband and I, along with help from caregivers, cared for my mother-in-law in our home as she slowly succumbed to dementia. Walking beside her during this time profoundly shaped my understanding of health, caregiving, and resilience, and reinforced the importance of connection across all stages of life. *The Women Who Move Us* is both a tribute to her memory and a collective gesture of love and advocacy for all families and caregivers navigating memory loss. It also reflects my commitment to honoring the legacies of the women who came before us while supporting the health and well-being of those who carry them forward. The project will extend its reach through collaboration with the Scott Pranger ALS Center at Michigan Medicine, linking the performing arts with medical research and care.

As founding members of We Banjo 3, the Galway-born brothers brought Irish traditional music to new heights \u2014 blending it with Americana, bluegrass, and contemporary songcraft to create a sound beloved across the world. Their electrifying live shows, virtuosic playing, and brotherly chemistry made We Banjo 3 one of the most celebrated acts on the international folk scene.\r\n\r\nNow, the brothers return with a brand-new project: Howley \u2014 a re-imagining of that signature sound for a new era. With Martin\u2019s dazzling mastery on banjo and mandolin and David\u2019s unmistakable voice and rhythmic guitar, Howley is both a continuation and a renewal \u2014 rooted in tradition but reaching fearlessly toward the future.\r\n\r\nJoined by two world-class artists, Kiana June (fiddle, vocals) and Caitlin Leahy (percussion, flute, vocals), Howley expands the brothers\u2019 trademark sound with lush harmonies, fiery fiddle, and rhythmic flair. The result is warm, vibrant, and deeply human \u2014 a band that feels both comfortingly familiar and thrillingly new.\r\n\r\nMartin Howley, a seven-time All-Ireland champion and the first Irish banjoist to perform on the Grand Ole Opry, brings dazzling precision and playful charisma to every performance.\r\n\r\nDavid Howley, known for his soulful voice and magnetic stage presence, fuses the sensitivity of a songwriter with the power of a rock frontman.\r\n\r\nKiana June, the \u201cfiddle-fueled\u201d virtuoso of Gaelic Storm and Come From Away, infuses the music with both elegance and fire.\r\n\r\nCaitlin Leahy, an accomplished multi-instrumentalist from the celebrated Leahy\u2019s Luck family, provides rhythmic heartbeat and shimmering vocal textures.\u200b\r\n\r\nTogether, they form a sound built on connection \u2014 the pulse of family, the spark of shared history, and the joy of collaboration.\r\n\r\nWith Howley, the brothers have created something new: music that celebrates their past but looks ahead with open arms. Their live show is full of laughter, harmony, and heart \u2014 the kind of energy that reminds audiences why they fell in love with folk music in the first place.\r\n\u200b\r\n\u201cFans of We Banjo 3 will recognize the spirit \u2014 but Howley brings it into a new light: deeper, braver, and bursting with soul.\u201d", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"142828-21891720@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/142828", "building_id":"", "building_name":"", "building_official_id":"", "campus_maps_id":"", "campus_maps_link_path":"", "campus_maps_link":"", "room":"", "location_name":"ARK Reserved", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"See Site For Pricing Information", "tags":["Ark","Mutotix"], "website":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6258\/6259", "links":[ { "type":"tickets", "url":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6258\/6259", "title":"Purchase tickets here!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/theark.org\/support-the-ark\/", "title":"Support The Ark!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/www.howleyband.com\/", "title":"Howley" }, { "type":"youtube", "url":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/3FoQcCElMh0", "title":"Promo Reel" }, { "type":"youtube", "url":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/N2ErOoGHVFM", "title":"Howley at Milwaukee Irish Fest" } ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)", "group_id":"1053", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142828_original-1.jpg", "image_description":"Howley", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142828_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142828_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142828_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142828_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142828_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142828_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142828_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142828_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142828_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142828_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142828_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142828_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142828_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142828_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142828_original-1.jpg" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/142828\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21891720 } , { "id":"143418-21893111", "datetime_modified":"20260501T173508", "datetime_start":"20260510T150000", "datetime_end":"20260510T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-05-10", "date_end":"2026-05-10", "time_start":"15:00:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"CAS Musical Performance.

It contextualizes her biography within the history of continuities and ruptures in Armenian communal life in the Ottoman Empire and post-Ottoman Republic of Turkey.\n\nMelissa Bilal is a sociocultural anthropologist and historian specialized in Music and Performance Studies, Gender and Sexuality Studies, and Memory Studies. She is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Ethnomusicology and the Department of Music Performance, Education, and Composition at UCLA\u2019s Herb Alpert School of Music where she holds the Promise Chair in Armenian Music, Arts, and Culture and serves as the director of the Armenian Music Program. Dr. Bilal's ethnographic research explores the role of music in the transmission of Armenian memory in Turkey, while her archival research is focused on the musical and intellectual history of Armenians in the late Ottoman Empire and early republican Turkey. Her most recent publications are the book chapter \u201cPavagan E (Enough!): Zabel Yesayan\u2019s (1878\u20131943?) Political Thought on Peace, Justice, and People\u2019s Right to Self-Defense\u201d in *Histories of Political Thought in the Ottoman World* (Oxford University Press, 2024) and the book *Feminism in Armenian: Lives and Texts Through Empire, Genocide, and Diaspora* (with Lerna Ekmekcioglu, Indiana University Press, Forthcoming 2026). She is currently working on her ethnographic monograph *Injuries of Reconciliation: Music, Memory, and Everyday Survival of Armenians in Turkey* and on a biography of pianist and composer Koharik Gazarossian (1907-1967). \n\nGrigor Mirzaian Suni, Ethnomusicologist and Revolutionary\n\nRonald Grigor Suny\n\nBorn in Karabakh, educated in Echmiadzin and St. Petersburg, a friend of Gomidas and a student of Rimsky-Korsakov, Grikor Mirzoian Suni moved between the world of Armenian folk and classical music and the revolutionary politics of his age. An Armenian patriot all his life, he began as a member of the Dashnaktsutyun and ended up as a Harajdimakan (Progressive) supporting Soviet Armenia until he spoke against Stalin and was ejected by his \"comrades.\" His travels took him through historic Armenia and to America where he founded and led choruses as exiled Armenians turned their communities into little Armenias far from their homeland. Reviled for his politics and beloved for his music, Grikor Suni disregarded the conventions of traditional Armenian life and forged his own national identity as an artist and revolutionary. Forgotten for a half century after his death, the revival of interest in this extraordinary musician and public figure is a testament to the need for Armenians to recover their lost pasts in order to appreciate what they were, are, and will become.\n\nRonald Grigor Suny is William H. Sewell, Jr. Distinguished University Professor of History and Professor of Political Science Emeritus at the University of Michigan and Emeritus Professor of Political Science and History at the University of Chicago. He was the first holder of the Alex Manoogian Chair in Modern Armenian History at the University of Michigan, where he founded and directed the Armenian Studies Program.

He is currently working on a book on the history of the nation-form and the recent upsurge of exclusivist nationalisms and authoritarian populisms: *Forging the Nation: The Making and Faking of Nationalisms*.\n\nSeda Suny: Armenian American Dance Pioneer \n\nAnoush Tamar Suni\n\nThis talk highlights the life and legacy of Seda Suny, daughter of Armenian Composer Grikor Mirzaian Suni and pathbreaking dancer, choreographer, ballet teacher, and musician. Born in Tiflis in 1905, she emigrated to the United States in the 1920s, and became a lively participant in Armenian cultural life, singing and dancing at her father\u2019s concerts and her own. A well-known dance teacher, pianist, and costume-maker, she created her own ballet school in New York, and generously trained many artists, to the end of her long life. I will trace her life through war and revolution and outline her unique contributions to Armenian and American art, dance, and music.\n\nAnoush Tamar Suni is a sociocultural anthropologist who studies political violence and the aftermath of genocide; the politics of history and memory; ruins, landscape, and cultural heritage; and religious and ethnic minority communities in the Middle East. Dr. Suni is currently a postdoctoral research fellow at the Raoul Wallenberg Institute, where she is completing her first book, Memory in Ruins: Politics of History and the Afterlives of Genocide in Anatolia. Based on over two years of ethnographic fieldwork in eastern Turkey, this book traces the interconnected pasts and presents of Muslim Kurdish and Christian Armenian communities with a focus on state violence, local memory, and the material landscape of ruins. Dr. Suni is also at work on a second ethnographic project\u2014Imagining the Underground: Violence, Value, and Enchanted Treasure\u2014which explores the hunt for mythical buried Armenian gold as a material interaction with a history of genocide and displacement in the context of a violent present. Dr. Suni\u2019s research has been published in the journals Comparative Studies in Society and History, Anthropological Quarterly, and the International Journal of Middle East Studies. Dr. Suni is the great-granddaughter of Grikor Mirzaian Suni and continues her family\u2019s musical legacy through first her study of classical violin and later her study of Middle Eastern and Armenian folk music on the oud. \n\nThe VEM Ensemble is the cornerstone of the Armenian Music Program at UCLA, which in its 12 years of existence has become an internationally renowned leader in celebrating the richness and diversity of the Armenian musical tradition.

Raised in 12 different states, he absorbed a variety of musical influences as a child, flirting with both violin and trombone, before abandoning Stravinsky for the guitar at age 11. After adding a love for the country-blues of Mississippi John Hurt to the music of John Phillip Sousa and Preston Epps, Kottke joined the Navy underage, to be underwater, and eventually lost some hearing shooting at lightbulbs in the Atlantic while serving on the USS Halfbeak, a diesel submarine. \n\nKottke had previously entered college at the U of Missouri, dropping out after a year to hitchhike across the country to South Carolina, then to New London and into the Navy, with his twelve string. \"The trip was not something I enjoyed,\" he has said, \"I was broke and met too many interesting people.\" Discharged in 1964, he settled in the Twin Cities area and became a fixture at Minneapolis' Scholar Coffeehouse, which had been home to Bob Dylan and John Koerner. He issued his 1968 recording debut LP Twelve String Blues, recorded on a Viking quarter-inch tape recorder, for the Scholar's tiny Oblivion label. (The label released one other LP by The Langston Hughes Memorial Eclectic Jazz Band.) \n\nAfter sending tapes to guitarist John Fahey, Kottke was signed to Fahey's Takoma label, releasing what has come to be called the Armadillo record. Fahey and his manager Denny Bruce soon secured a production deal for Kottke with Capitol Records. \n\nKottke's 1971 major-label debut, \"Mudlark,\" positioned him somewhat uneasily in the singer\/songwriter vein, despite his own wishes to remain an instrumental performer. Still, despite arguments with label heads as well as with Bruce, Kottke flourished during his tenure on Capitol, as records like 1972's \"Greenhouse\" and 1973's live \"My Feet Are Smiling\" and \"Ice Water\" found him branching out with guest musicians and honing his guitar technique. \n\nHis collaboration with Phish bassist Mike Gordon, \"Clone,\" caught audiences' attention in 2002. Kottke and Gordon followed with a recording in the Bahamas called \"Sixty Six Steps,\" produced by Leo's old friend and Prince producer David Z. \n\nKottke has been awarded two Grammy nominations; a Doctorate in Music Performance by the Peck School of Music at the U of Wisconsin, Milwaukee; and a Certificate of Significant Achievement in Not Playing the Trombone from the U of Texas at Brownsville with Texas Southmost College.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"145644-21897628@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/145644", "building_id":"", "building_name":"", "building_official_id":"", "campus_maps_id":"", "campus_maps_link_path":"", "campus_maps_link":"", "room":"", "location_name":"ARK Reserved + Gold Circle", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"See Site For Pricing Information", "tags":["Ark","Mutotix"], "website":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6390\/6391", "links":[ { "type":"tickets", "url":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6390\/6391", "title":"Purchase tickets here!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/theark.org\/support-the-ark\/", "title":"Support The Ark!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/www.leokottke.com\/", "title":null }, { "type":"youtube", "url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=80huZm3LPFg&list=RD80huZm3LPFg&start_radio=1", "title":"LEO KOTTKE : Cripple Creek : {4K Ultra HD} : Sheldon Music Hall : St. Louis, MO : 3\/5\/2024" } ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)", "group_id":"1053", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"", "image_description":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/145644\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21897628 } , { "id":"146972-21899895", "datetime_modified":"20260324T152713", "datetime_start":"20260514T200000", "datetime_end":"", "has_end_time":0, "date_start":"2026-05-14", "date_end":"", "time_start":"20:00:00", "time_end":"", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Joe Pernice", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Joe Pernice: w\/sg Pete Mancini", "event_subtitle":"w\/sg Pete Mancini", "event_type":"Performance", "event_type_id":"15", "description":"\u201ca workhorse of a songwriter who delivers hard truths with the softest of whispers\u201d \u2013NPR\n\nJoe Pernice is a songwriter celebrated for his rare ability to pair luminous melodies with quietly devastating emotional depth. Over the course of a career spanning more than three decades, Pernice has built a body of work that is literate, melodic, and enduring\u2014music that reveals new layers with each listen.\n\nFirst gaining attention in the early 1990s with alt-country band Scud Mountain Boys, Pernice later founded the Pernice Brothers, a project that would firmly establish his reputation as one of the most refined songwriters of his generation. From the initial Overcome by Happiness and across numerous albums, his songs have been marked by elegant arrangements, strong pop instincts, and lyrics that balance wit, melancholy, and narrative precision. Drawing from folk, power pop, and chamber pop traditions, Pernice\u2019s music feels both timeless and unmistakably personal. His collaborations with a range of musicians include Norman Blake (Teenage Fanclub), Joshua Karp, Neko Case, Aimee Mann, and the iconic Jimmy Webb.\n\nCritics have consistently praised his work for its craftsmanship and emotional intelligence. Major publications including Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, Magnet, The Guardian, and Mojo have highlighted his gift for melody and his ability to cloak dark, complex themes in deceptively beautiful songs.\nBeyond music, Joe has written one of the first books in the original 33 1\/3 book series. His novella explores the Smiths\u2019 Meat is Murder and Catholic high school life in Boston in 1985. Joe\u2019s novel, It Feels So Good When I Stop, is a dark, irreverent story of a young man trying to sort through love, life and commitment.\n\nWith his latest album, Sunny, I Was Wrong, Joe continues his signature style of rich storytelling melded with inspired arrangements, each song a world unto its own.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"146972-21899895@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/146972", "building_id":"", "building_name":"", "building_official_id":"", "campus_maps_id":"", "campus_maps_link_path":"", "campus_maps_link":"", "room":"", "location_name":"ARK Reserved", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"See Site For Pricing Information", "tags":["Ark","Mutotix"], "website":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6518\/6519", "links":[ { "type":"tickets", "url":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6518\/6519", "title":"Purchase tickets here!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/theark.org\/support-the-ark\/", "title":"Support The Ark!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/joepernice.com\/", "title":"Joe Pernice" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/petemancini.com\/", "title":"Pete Mancini" }, { "type":"youtube", "url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cp2Uenox4TM", "title":"Joe Pernice - Deep Into The Dawn (ft Aimee Mann) [Official Video]" } ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)", "group_id":"1053", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146972_original-1.jpg", "image_description":"Joe Pernice", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146972_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146972_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146972_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146972_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146972_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146972_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146972_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146972_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146972_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146972_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146972_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146972_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146972_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146972_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146972_original-1.jpg" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/146972\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21899895 } , { "id":"148003-21902712", "datetime_modified":"20260507T181522", "datetime_start":"20260515T190000", "datetime_end":"20260515T203000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-05-15", "date_end":"2026-05-15", "time_start":"19:00:00", "time_end":"20:30:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Welcome Concert: 2026 George Shirley Vocal Competition", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Welcome Concert: 2026 George Shirley Vocal Competition", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Performance", "event_type_id":"15", "description":"Hosted by Dr. Louise Toppin (University of Michigan), featuring performances and guest speakers.\n\nThe George Shirley Vocal and Composer Competition focuses entirely on African American Vocal Repertoire and is open to competitors of all ethnicities.

I wanted to write songs that connected with the listener in a very personal way. When someone listens to my music, it\u2019s not just about me and what I\u2019m singing. It\u2019s about how they understand the songs individually. I think these songs can speak many languages, depending on what you want from them.\u201d\n\nMuq\u2019s experiences as a child in Uganda and as a man in America give him a unique perspective on the world he\u2019s addressing. \u201cI grew up in a very different life, where so many people pass through hard times just because they don\u2019t have much. Our biggest issue was food scarcity. Then I came to a different world, which gave me a picture of how to write a song that can find balance with everyone wherever they are, whether they have a lot or not much.\u201d With his May 31st debut album with producer Dan Auerbach and tours with Billy Joel, Norah Jones, Mavis Staples, Amythyst Kiah, Corinne Bailey Rae, and others, Muq is expanding the scope of his music to speak to more

After teaching school for 40 years and continuing to play and teach private lessons, he moved back to Michigan and began to attend and play at the Ark's Open Stage nights.

Pete says that he is deliberately keeping a lot of old songs alive by performing them and talking about them. With a songbook of nearly 200 songs in his head, you can expect to hear a sampling of them at the Showcase.

Their current iteration is a true blue lineup: guitarist mandolin player Lou Reid, bassist Ronnie Simpkins, banjoist and fiddler Ron Stewart, dobro player Fred Travers, and guitarist Clay Hess.\r\n\r\nSince they started up together in 1971, The Seldom Scene has dexterously performed original and traditional songs while presenting fiery and soulful reinterpretations of material by Merle Haggard, James Taylor, and more.

The lyrics testify to the power of true love, rebirth, Polka bands, coffee, and migrating fish.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"142827-21891719@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/142827", "building_id":"", "building_name":"", "building_official_id":"", "campus_maps_id":"", "campus_maps_link_path":"", "campus_maps_link":"", "room":"", "location_name":"ARK Reserved", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"See Site For Pricing Information", "tags":["Ark","Mutotix"], "website":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6256\/6257", "links":[ { "type":"tickets", "url":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6256\/6257", "title":"Purchase tickets here!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/theark.org\/support-the-ark\/", "title":"Support The Ark!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/www.daveboutette.net\/daveandkristi\/", "title":"Dave and Kristi" }, { "type":"youtube", "url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5rrqYuJK0bI", "title":"Dave Boutette & Kristi Lynn Davis at FARM Conference 2019" } ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)", "group_id":"1053", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142827_original-1.jpg", "image_description":"Dave & Kristi", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142827_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142827_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142827_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142827_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142827_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142827_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142827_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142827_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142827_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142827_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142827_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142827_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142827_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142827_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/12\/event_142827_original-1.jpg" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/142827\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21891719 } , { "id":"143447-21893187", "datetime_modified":"20260108T094609", "datetime_start":"20260529T200000", "datetime_end":"", "has_end_time":0, "date_start":"2026-05-29", "date_end":"", "time_start":"20:00:00", "time_end":"", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Mike Mass\u00e9", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Mike Mass\u00e9: Presented by The Ark", "event_subtitle":"Presented by The Ark", "event_type":"Performance", "event_type_id":"15", "description":"Epic acoustic classic rock\r\n\r\nMike Mass\u00e9 is an internationally acclaimed artist and arranger who performs epic acoustic classic rock.

What emerged is Floyd Mercantile \u2014 a record that feels both intimate and timeless.\n\nThe makeshift studio was a decommissioned general store called (you guessed it!) Floyd Mercantile \u2014 a weathered wooden building standing across the road from an open pasture where cows wandered and grazed in the gentle early spring. (One cow even volunteered to be on the album cover.) Inside those old walls, the trio recorded the album live \u2014 no isolation booths, no heavy overdubbing \u2014 just three musicians in a room, listening closely and letting the songs unfold in real time.\n\nThe sessions were recorded by Jeff Oehler and filmed in their entirety by partner Sue Bibeau and their associate Skylar Locke. Together, Sue and Jeff comprise Beehive Pro, an audio, visual, and design collective famed for their intimate recordings and thoughtfully considered visuals.\n\nThey captured not just the sound, but the atmosphere \u2014 the wood floors, the daylight through the dusty windows, and the creak of the porch boards could all be considered session players on this album.\n\nThe repertoire bridges eras. Mostly comprised of songs Peter and Jenna wrote separately, there are a few gems from the Great American Songbook: \u201cSkylark\" (Hoagy Carmichael\/Johnny Mercer), \u201cThem There Eyes\" (Maceo Pinkard\/Doris Tauber\/William Tracey), and \u201cI'll Be Seeing\nYou\" (Sammy Fain\/Irving Kahal).\n\n\nThe visual and sonic tones of the project reflect the periods these songs evoke \u2014 even the newly composed tracks feel in conversation with another time. The goal was not nostalgia, but continuity: to stand inside the lineage of American song and add something honest and present to it.\n\nFloyd Mercantile is not just an album. It\u2019s a document of place. Of three musicians in a room.

The son of a Tulane University professor, he was taught the rudiments of instrumentation by his uncle on his mother\u2019s ukulele. \u201cUncle Howard,\u201d Smither says, \u201cshowed me that if you knew three chords, you could play a lot of the songs you heard on the radio. And if you knew four chords, you could pretty much rule the world.\u201d With that bit of knowledge under his belt, he was hooked. \u201cI\u2019d loved acoustic music \u2013 specifically the blues \u2013 ever since I first heard Lightnin\u2019 Hopkins\u2019 Blues In My Bottle album. I couldn\u2019t believe the sound Hopkins got. At first I thought it was two guys playing guitar. My style, to a degree, came out of trying to imitate that sound I heard.\u201d\n\nIn his early twenties, Smither turned his back on his anthropology studies and headed to Boston at the urging of legendary folk singer Eric von Schmidt. It was the mid-\u201960s and acoustic music thrived in the streets and coffeehouses there.

For thirty years, he has been the fiddle player for the Del McCoury Band\u2014the most awarded group in bluegrass history. He\u2019s won three Grammy awards, including 2018\u2019s \u201cBest Bluegrass Album\u201d with the Travelin\u2019 McCourys, of which he is a founding member.

On Carter\u2019s forthcoming solo album, Lowdown Hoedown, listeners may recognize instrumental contributions from such legends as Jerry Douglas or Sam Bush alongside vocals from young trailblazers like Sarah Jarosz or Billy Strings.

While many of his peers pursued hip-hop, Charles chose the name BLKBOK, a nod to one of the greatest pianists and composers of all time and a reflection of his journey from pop and hip-hop culture to his critically acclaimed neo-classical debut album Black Book and subsequent mixtape projects and collaborations. \n\nBLKBOK\u2019s live, high-energy performances are culturally reflective, delivering a piano-based experience unlike any other. His vision is to illuminate awareness, encouraging dialogue and counterpoint in how we perceive ourselves and the world we share.\n \nHis debut album Black Book served as a cornerstone of the inaugural Juneteenth Foundation Freedom Concert and was later re-released as a DLUX Edition featuring \u201cForgotten Girls\u201d and \u201cKendrick + Karine.\u201d His mixtape CVRART and collaborative project \"Angels Watching Over Me\" with world-renowned tenor Lawrence Brownlee further showcase his innovative voice. His original composition \u201cStars (Ad Astra)\u201d became the first-ever piano duet performed from space in 2022.\n \nClosing out 2025, BLKBOK released Urban Etudes: Vol. 1, a collaborative EP with Beats by JT that blends classical form with rhythm in a powerful sonic dialogue. He carried that creative momentum into January 2026 with Peaceful Piano: The Self-Love Mixtape, an intimate and reflective project centered on breath, space, and emotional clarity, a calm exploration of self-love as both foundation and beginning. \n\nBuilding on this evolution, The New Classical Tour debuted in New York City, Natick, and Toledo, with additional dates to be announced. He is currently composing a new Concerto set for premiere this summer.\n \nMore than an artist, BLKBOK is a movement - breaking barriers and inspiring change through sound.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"147013-21900241@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/147013", "building_id":"", "building_name":"", "building_official_id":"", "campus_maps_id":"", "campus_maps_link_path":"", "campus_maps_link":"", "room":"", "location_name":"ARK Reserved", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"See Site For Pricing Information", "tags":["Ark","Mutotix"], "website":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6529\/6530", "links":[ { "type":"tickets", "url":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6529\/6530", "title":"Purchase tickets here!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/theark.org\/support-the-ark\/", "title":"Support The Ark!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/www.blkbok.com\/", "title":"BLKBOK" }, { "type":"youtube", "url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6cy9XjtWjsk", "title":"BLKBOK - BREATHE SLOW, BE PRESENT" } ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)", "group_id":"1053", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147013_original-2.jpg", "image_description":"BLKBOK", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147013_original-2.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147013_original-2.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147013_original-2.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147013_original-2.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147013_original-2.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147013_original-2.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147013_original-2.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147013_original-2.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147013_original-2.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147013_original-2.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147013_original-2.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147013_original-2.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147013_original-2.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147013_original-2.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147013_original-2.jpg" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/147013\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21900241 } , { "id":"148097-21902944", "datetime_modified":"20260505T104318", "datetime_start":"20260620T110000", "datetime_end":"20260620T113000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-06-20", "date_end":"2026-06-20", "time_start":"11:00:00", "time_end":"11:30:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Ann Arbor Japan Week 2026 | Japanese Storytime", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Ann Arbor Japan Week 2026 | Japanese Storytime: Momo Kajiwara, Local Music Teacher", "event_subtitle":"Momo Kajiwara, Local Music Teacher", "event_type":"Performance", "event_type_id":"15", "description":"Local music teacher Momo Kajiwara will lead us in song, movement, and storytelling in Japanese!

And much like the artists who have influenced him, everyone from Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan and Paul Simon to the singer-songwriter who is undoubtedly his greatest inspiration, Woody Guthrie, Paul weaves deeply personal experiences with social issues and renders them as provocative works that are as timely as they are timeless. \n\nBorn and raised in Maine, Paul attended Boston College on a track scholarship and in the evenings became a fixture on the city\u2019s open mic circuit. After winning a Boston Acoustic Underground songwriter competition, he caught the ear of folk luminary Bill Morrissey, who produced his indie album Say Something in 1993. This led to a seven album contract with Rounder Records and the 1994 album, Stories. His songs have appeared in several blockbuster films (Me, Myself, and Irene; Shallow Hal, Hall Pass) and have been covered by award winning country artists (Sugarland, Kristian Bush, Jack Ingram). \n\nThrough a steady succession of albums of his own \u2013 a remarkable 23 releases so far \u2013 and a constant touring presence around the world, Paul\u2019s audience has grown into a loyal legion of fans. Along the way, he has picked up an impressive number of awards including the prestigious Kerrville New Folk Award, 15 Boston Music Awards, An Honorary Doctorate from the University of Maine, the 2019 International Acoustic Music Awards Artist of the Year and most recently his album, The Storyteller\u2019s Suitcase, was named the 2019 NERFA Album of the Year.\n\nHis latest album \u201c55\u201d touches on the necessity of gratitude in a difficult era of the pandemic and divided political stances on his own imprint, Rosella Records.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"147515-21901169@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/147515", "building_id":"", "building_name":"", "building_official_id":"", "campus_maps_id":"", "campus_maps_link_path":"", "campus_maps_link":"", "room":"", "location_name":"ARK Reserved", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"See Site For Pricing Information", "tags":["Ark","Mutotix"], "website":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6599\/6600", "links":[ { "type":"tickets", "url":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6599\/6600", "title":"Purchase tickets here!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/theark.org\/support-the-ark\/", "title":"Support The Ark!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/www.ellispaul.com\/", "title":"Ellis Paul" }, { "type":"youtube", "url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Fb9zyBlto8k&list=RDFb9zyBlto8k&start_radio=1", "title":"Ellis Paul: \"Chasing Beauty\"" } ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)", "group_id":"1053", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147515_original-1.jpg", "image_description":"Ellis Paul", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147515_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147515_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147515_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147515_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147515_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147515_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147515_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147515_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147515_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147515_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147515_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147515_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147515_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147515_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147515_original-1.jpg" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/147515\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21901169 } , { "id":"147905-21902382", "datetime_modified":"20260423T100738", "datetime_start":"20260621T193000", "datetime_end":"", "has_end_time":0, "date_start":"2026-06-21", "date_end":"", "time_start":"19:30:00", "time_end":"", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Steph Strings", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Steph Strings: Presented by The Ark", "event_subtitle":"Presented by The Ark", "event_type":"Performance", "event_type_id":"15", "description":"Finely crafted songs and dazzling fingerstyle guitar\n\nSteph Strings is an Australian singer-songwriter and guitarist whose music bridges the gap between the intimate and the expansive.

At first, the words seemed almost like a joke, something to keep herself amused as the miles passed. \u201cI want a puppy, but I don't want a mess. I want to know where I\u2019m going without GPS,\u201d she sang from behind the wheel. Soon, the idea snowballed into a list of desires that spanned existential, spiritual, and mundane; romantic to platonic to familial; at once wildly ambitious yet piercingly relatable; all set to a catchy melody that blends her pop instincts with country storytelling and the raw immediacy of a basement punk show. In other words, she was on her way to another classic Esther Rose song.\n\nThis precise blend has made the Santa Fe-based artist one of her generation\u2019s most beloved songwriters: someone whose live shows are known to conclude in mass tears and group hugs. Still, something was different this time. \u201cFor me, these songs felt like revelations,\u201d she explains, comparing the 11-song record to a memoir, alive with kinetic storytelling and personal insight. In its newly direct and stirringly nuanced writing, you\u2019ll hear about rock bottom encounters, shifting relationships with substances, evolving perspectives on adult partnership, and, as evidenced by those early lines in \u201cWant,\u201d a few jokes along the way. Vivid and bracing, Want places you in the passenger seat while each of these feelings arrive.\n\nTo match the multi-dimensional tone of the writing, Rose has made the most adventurous, hardest-hitting record of her career.

Since bursting on to the scene with his band Back Door Slam\u2019s critically acclaimed album \u2018Roll Away\u2019 in 2007 (\u201cI heard the spirit of Jimi Hendrix\u201d Patrick McDonald - Seattle Times), Davy\u2019s star has only risen. His sophomore release \u2018Coming Up For Air\u2019 was produced by the legendary Peter Frampton (\u201cDavy already has a recognizable style. He\u2019s definitely the gunslinger guitarist of the 21st century,\u2019\u2019- Peter Frampton).\n\nKnowles has several top-5 Billboard Blues charting albums under his belt, high profile TV appearances (Jimmy Kimmel Live and CBS Good Morning America among others), and has been praised with high accolades from heroes and press alike - but it\u2019s not just the music industry who has taken note. Knowles was also the very first artist in history to perform live to the International Space Station directly from mission control in Houston TX, and has had his music taken to the Space Station by two astronauts, Nicole Stott and Ron Garan, on their missions orbiting Earth. \n\nNever one to be satisfied or to sit still, Knowles has explored multiple genres and styles, from the hard-hitting 70\u2019s classic rock influenced album \u2018Three Miles From Avalon\u2019, to the haunting acoustic delta blues of \u20181932\u2019, and the sweet, soul-searching folk of 2023\u2019s \u2018If I Should Wander\u2019. \n \nWhether spending an evening onstage armed with just an acoustic guitar, or wielding his well worn and trusty Telecaster while fronting his blues\/rock trio - and at any point in between the two - Davy Knowles is a versatile and formidable songwriter and musician.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"147618-21901365@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/147618", "building_id":"", "building_name":"", "building_official_id":"", "campus_maps_id":"", "campus_maps_link_path":"", "campus_maps_link":"", "room":"", "location_name":"ARK Reserved", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"See Site For Pricing Information", "tags":["Ark","Mutotix"], "website":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6611\/6612", "links":[ { "type":"tickets", "url":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6611\/6612", "title":"Purchase tickets here!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/theark.org\/support-the-ark\/", "title":"Support The Ark!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/davyknowles.com\/", "title":"Davy Knowles" }, { "type":"youtube", "url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1TAp8pJ9znw", "title":"Davy Knowles -

When Covid sidelined his touring this past year, he started laying concrete to help support his baby mama and his kid. That\u2019s fuckin\u2019 real. When Joe and his band, the Honeybears, popped onto the national stage over a decade ago, many critics embraced him but still, there were some that maintained that they hadn\u2019t paid their dues. Joe\u2019s still here. Still going. Still cashing checks and snapping necks. The dues of hard work; the delirious heights of the industry as well as the disappointments and low hanging fruit. Through this all, Joe\u2019s only honed his mastery over gut bucket blues guitar and his true voice. It\u2019s a vital and distinctly American voice that never anticipated the attention he wound up receiving, never went looking for it either. It just started happening. The garage, the blues, the propulsive and synergistic live performances that inhabit the spaces of James Brown, Lightnin\u2019 Hopkins, and the MC5...those things happened naturally from the very beginning and could only be accurately communicated in the live experience, not a press release or a slick brand campaign. Sharon Jones, Charles Bradley, Cedric Burnside and Lightnin Malcolm, The Dirtbombs, Detroit Cobras, the Strange Boys; these are some of the artists that Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears shared countless bills with; almost a roll call of the most influential soul and garage bands of the last twenty five years. Has the soul blues garage explosion from that era been commodified or worked into the overall template of pop rock? Sure. But the ground floor was a vital space for people that like guitars and grease and at this point Black Joe Lewis is one of the last standing that was there. Last of a dying breed. Or maybe a missing link. Does this make him a throwback? A throwback to a throwback? It\u2019d be tempting and easy for Joe to go along with that but nah, we don\u2019t think so. We know that Joe Lewis is genuinely doing his thing and that he\u2019d do it regardless of what\u2019s coming down the pipe. A stone cold original and a veteran at that. If you like whistling in your music and some floppy hat, quaky kneed dudes cloyingly singing at you, then you might not \u201cget it\u201d but whatever...there are enough intrepid, degenerate weirdos that do.

In them, listeners will hear and feel honesty, gratitude, and thoughtful introspection, with doses of humor and drama to vary the pace. His songs betray the effort he makes to find just the right words, taking cues from the likes of Randy Newman, John Prine, and Nick Lowe.\n\nMark assembled the band known as The Strategic Advisors to record his 2nd full length album, \u201cThe Lucky One,\u201d released in 2021. The band is comprised of some of SE Michigan\u2019s finest musicians, including Billy Harrington (drums & vocals), Michael Harrington (pedal steel, electric & acoustic guitars), Ken Pesick (bass), Amy Petty (vocals & guitar) and Dale Grisa (keyboards). The band is extremely versatile and sonically, they make Mark's tunes span the wide space between classic folk and epic soundscapes you might expect to hear from Pink Floyd. Somehow, it all fits together to provide an attention grabbing extravaganza.\n\nDetroit-based indie-folk band Jackamo opens. Led by sisters Alison and Tessa Wiercioch (vocals) and Jimmy Showers (guitar), and known for their blood harmonies, acoustic textures, and lyric-driven storytelling, their sound is intimate, nostalgic, and always evolving.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"144056-21894595@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/144056", "building_id":"", "building_name":"", "building_official_id":"", "campus_maps_id":"", "campus_maps_link_path":"", "campus_maps_link":"", "room":"", "location_name":"ARK Reserved", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"See Site For Pricing Information", "tags":["Ark","Mutotix"], "website":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6300\/6301", "links":[ { "type":"tickets", "url":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6300\/6301", "title":"Purchase tickets here!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/theark.org\/support-the-ark\/", "title":"Support The Ark!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/www.markjewett.com\/", "title":"Mark Jewett" }, { "type":"youtube", "url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3xZ0zGhRh64", "title":"Far Away From This Town Acoustic" } ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)", "group_id":"1053", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144056_original-1.png", "image_description":"Mark Jewett", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144056_original-1.png", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144056_original-1.png", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144056_original-1.png", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144056_original-1.png", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144056_original-1.png", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144056_original-1.png", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144056_original-1.png", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144056_original-1.png", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144056_original-1.png", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144056_original-1.png", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144056_original-1.png", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144056_original-1.png", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144056_original-1.png", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144056_original-1.png", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144056_original-1.png" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/144056\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21894595 } , { "id":"148186-21903200", "datetime_modified":"20260508T121537", "datetime_start":"20260710T190000", "datetime_end":"20260710T210000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-07-10", "date_end":"2026-07-10", "time_start":"19:00:00", "time_end":"21:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Young Artist Concert Series", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Young Artist Concert Series: Center Stage Strings - An MPulse Institute at the University of Michigan", "event_subtitle":"Center Stage Strings - An MPulse Institute at the University of Michigan", "event_type":"Performance", "event_type_id":"15", "description":"Center Stage Strings (CSS) \u2013 one of SMTD\u2019s MPulse performing arts summer programs for youth \u2013 welcomes the public to a series of free live concerts.\n\nCSS was founded by renowned violinist and SMTD Professor Danielle Belen to develop the talents of serious young classical music students in the areas of solo and chamber music performance.

He is known for his energetic, heartfelt shows, where he connects with audiences through the strength of his songwriting and his quirky sense of humor. Day\u2019s warm tenor voice \u201csoars into fluttering, high registers, but also grates with real, pleading grit,\u201d as one critic put it. \n\nA native of Bangor, Maine, Day began playing piano at age five and guitar at age 12. By 15, he was writing his own songs and performing across New England. Shortly after graduating high school, Day became a fixture at college coffeehouses across the U.S. He wrote, financed, and released his first effort, Australia, which was named Best Debut Album at the 2001 Boston Music Awards. \n\nDay began experimenting with effects pedals and loop-sampling techniques as he performed, layering live percussion with vocal harmonies and guitar parts to become a veritable one-man band. He went on to sell over 30,000 copies of Australia as he navigated the independent music scene and continued to hone his craft. After signing with Epic Records, Day released his\nmajor-label debut, Stop All The World Now, and hit the road to support it. Since the release of this ground breaking album 20 years ago, featuring 4x platinum single \"Collide\", Howie Day continues to astound audiences with his everlasting music.

His first album, \u201cAnalog Heart,\u201d came out pre-Idol, and his last album, \u201cDigital Vein,\u201d nicely bookended that chapter of Cook's career, a chapter during which he sold more than two million albums (including his platinum-certified eponymous album) and, collectively, more than five million tracks (including two platinum-certified singles) worldwide.\n\nDavid continues to find success, not only for himself, but also as a writer for other artists and touring throughout the world.

What began as a spontaneous creative spark in the back of a tour van evolved into one of Austin\u2019s most beloved bands, known for warm harmonies, candid storytelling, and an ever-evolving blend of folk, pop, and soulful brass-driven arrangements. After years of near-constant touring and the launch of their individual projects - Wilson\u2019s Motown-leaning Sir Woman and Beggins\u2019 dream-pop alter ego CoCo Zandi - the pair stepped back to explore new sounds and space, unsure when or how Wild Child might return.\n\nThat return arrived in an unexpected moment of stillness. When the world shut down and stages went dark, Wilson and Beggins found themselves back in a room together, preparing for online performances, rediscovering the spark that shaped their earliest songs. Within minutes, new material poured out - an organic reminder of the ease and honesty that has always defined their collaboration. The band reunited with longtime musical family and stepped into the studio with the same sense of openness and urgency that fueled their earliest recordings, capturing raw, unvarnished performances that leaned into emotion over perfection.\n\nWild Child\u2019s creative community has always been central to their story - whether weathering a Texas ice storm together, writing by candlelight when power went out, or inviting new voices into their creative circle. Over the years, the band has continued to expand its sonic world while staying grounded in heartfelt songwriting and the distinct vocal interplay that first drew fans in. Their music reflects resilience, connection, and the messy joy of making something together when it matters most.\n\nToday, Wild Child is following their curiosity wherever it leads: building out their label imprint Reba\u2019s Ranch Records and diving into Wild Child for Kids, a project that lets them explore the same heart and imagination of their music through a family-friendly lens. With an ever-growing family of collaborators and a renewed commitment to making music on their own terms, the band remains a defining voice in the vibrant indie-folk musical landscape, continually finding new ways to surprise themselves and the listeners who have followed them from the beginning.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"147110-21900389@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/147110", "building_id":"", "building_name":"", "building_official_id":"", "campus_maps_id":"", "campus_maps_link_path":"", "campus_maps_link":"", "room":"", "location_name":"ARK Reserved", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"See Site For Pricing Information", "tags":["Ark","Mutotix"], "website":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6547\/6548", "links":[ { "type":"tickets", "url":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6547\/6548", "title":"Purchase tickets here!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/theark.org\/support-the-ark\/", "title":"Support The Ark!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/wildchildsounds.com\/", "title":"Wild Child" }, { "type":"youtube", "url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1h8azPGXLzI", "title":"Sinking Ship (Live From Austin, TX) | Wild Child Official Music Video" } ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)", "group_id":"1053", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147110_original-1.jpg", "image_description":"Wild Child", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147110_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147110_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147110_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147110_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147110_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147110_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147110_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147110_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147110_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147110_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147110_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147110_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147110_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147110_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147110_original-1.jpg" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/147110\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21900389 } , { "id":"147621-21901368", "datetime_modified":"20260422T133615", "datetime_start":"20260730T200000", "datetime_end":"", "has_end_time":0, "date_start":"2026-07-30", "date_end":"", "time_start":"20:00:00", "time_end":"", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"All About Eve presents GOOD TROUBLE:", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"All About Eve presents GOOD TROUBLE:: an evening of folk songs, woke songs, likely-to-provoke songs", "event_subtitle":"an evening of folk songs, woke songs, likely-to-provoke songs", "event_type":"Performance", "event_type_id":"15", "description":"Close harmony vocal trio All About Eve (Katie Geddes, Deb Wood, Mary Fithian) offers up a repertoire of traditional and contemporary songs encompassing folk, country, pop, and gospel genres, with an emphasis on edgy lyrics and topical content.

An artist whose songs carry equal parts soul, truth, and grace. Rooted in folk, blues, and Americana, his music speaks plainly yet profoundly to the human condition, earning him a reputation as one of the most moving performers of his generation.\n\nPierce gained global attention when he was personally invited by Neil Young to serve as special guest opener on Young\u2019s Coastal Tour. His song \u201cWe Can Always Come Back to This,\u201d which he co-wrote, was featured in three episodes of This Is Us, later reaching #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart and introducing his songwriting to millions worldwide.\n\nOver the course of decades, Pierce has toured extensively as both a headliner and sought-after support act, sharing stages with B.B. King, Neil Young, Al Green, Steve Earle, Seal, Aaron Neville, Jill Scott, Allison Russell, and Blind Boys of Alabama, among many others. His live performances, often just voice, guitar, and an unmistakable presence, are known for their emotional depth and rare intimacy.\n\nRecent highlights include Pierce\u2019s rendition of \u201cSouthern Man\u201d on Heart of Gold, a Neil Young tribute album also featuring Eddie Vedder, Brandi Carlile, Fiona Apple, and Steve Earle. He has appeared in performance and interview on NPR\u2019s World Caf\u00e9 and Mountain Stage, and delivered acclaimed sets at Newport Folk Festival, AmericanaFest, Folk Alliance International Conference, MerleFest, BottleRock Napa Valley, Calgary Folk Music Festival, and Vancouver Folk Music Festival.\n\nPierce\u2019s albums American Silence and Let All Who Will received widespread critical praise from NPR, Rolling Stone, Forbes, American Songwriter, No Depression, SiriusXM, The Bluegrass Situation, and Americana UK. American Silence was named #1 Best Folk Album of 2021 by PopMatters, while \u201cResidential School\u201d was recognized by Folk Alley as one of the 100 Essential Folk Songs.\n\nHis new highly anticipated full-length album 'Songs for the Heavy Hearted' will be released in the summer of 2026. The project continues Pierce\u2019s lifelong commitment to fearless storytelling and songs that meet the moment. Music grounded in compassion, conviction, and a deep belief in our shared humanity.

He also said, tell \u2018em I\u2019m bringing my Texas band Rick Richards and Jack Saunders for the full Honky-Tonk Rock\u2019n'Roll experience, and that I\u2019m quite a bit jollier than that picture would indicate. \n\nGrammy nominated guitarist, singer and songwriter Bill Kirchen is one of the fortunate few who can step on any stage, play those trademark licks which drove the seminal Commander Cody classic Hot Rod Lincoln into the Top Ten nationwide, and elicit instant recognition.

With all three members coming from different musical backgrounds, the boys combine their diverse influences to form a group that draws inspiration from around the globe, incorporating elements of folk, rock, and chamber pop with Celtic and world music to create a wholly original\u2014and difficult to categorize\u2014sound.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"147011-21900239@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/147011", "building_id":"", "building_name":"", "building_official_id":"", "campus_maps_id":"", "campus_maps_link_path":"", "campus_maps_link":"", "room":"", "location_name":"ARK Reserved", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"See Site For Pricing Information", "tags":["Ark","Mutotix"], "website":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6525\/6526", "links":[ { "type":"tickets", "url":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6525\/6526", "title":"Purchase tickets here!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/theark.org\/support-the-ark\/", "title":"Support The Ark!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"http:\/\/Raynes", "title":"https:\/\/www.raynesmusic.com\/" }, { "type":"youtube", "url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kAA6a8ZBTBg", "title":"Raynes - Two Seconds in the Sun (Live from Daydream Studios)" } ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)", "group_id":"1053", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147011_original-1.jpg", "image_description":"Raynes", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147011_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147011_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147011_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147011_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147011_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147011_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147011_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147011_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147011_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147011_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147011_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147011_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147011_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147011_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147011_original-1.jpg" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/147011\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21900239 } , { "id":"145913-21898091", "datetime_modified":"20260225T100900", "datetime_start":"20260814T200000", "datetime_end":"", "has_end_time":0, "date_start":"2026-08-14", "date_end":"", "time_start":"20:00:00", "time_end":"", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"West Texas Exiles", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"West Texas Exiles: Presented by The Ark", "event_subtitle":"Presented by The Ark", "event_type":"Performance", "event_type_id":"15", "description":"\u201cWhile the band tends to describe its sound as Southwestern rock \u2019n\u2019 roll, you\u2019ll also hear influences of Tejano and Conjunto, the Pogues, the British Invasion, and even New Age \u2014 capturing the breadth of music in the Lone Star State.\u201d \n\u2013Texas Music\n\nFeaturing five musicians who grew up in El Paso, Lubbock and Amarillo, the West Texas Exiles draw upon the wide-open western reaches of the Lone Star State with a wide-ranging, Americana-centered sound.

Some might even call him a \u201ctour de force\u201d 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\u2019s early releases, I\u2019m About To Come Alive, The Sound Of A Million Dreams, I\u2019m 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\u2019d ever known, MCA Nashville, where he\u2019d formed friendships that endure even now. Through dealing with his own journey of mental health and the feeling of needing to \u201crebel against what people expect you to be,\u201d Nail began making his most \u201corganic\u201d 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 \u201cthe song creeps in like a sunrise \u2014 quiet, restrained cello and keys are the only underpinning for Nail\u2019s powerful vocals at first.

Landreth are two-time JUNO Award winners from Winnipeg, known for their blend of guitar-driven, soulful, blood harmony roots music. The band, the core of which consists of brothers Dave and Joey Landreth, has earned critical acclaim and a dedicated audience for their heartfelt songs, inventive musicianship, and powerful performances. From their early days attending their father's gigs as babies (\"Mom would tuck us into a bassinet and slide us under the bar tables,\" says Dave), the brothers have spent a lifetime touring rock clubs, theatres, and music festivals across North America, the UK, Europe, and Australia, including stand-out performances at Byron Bay Blues Festival in Australia and Eric Clapton\u2019s Crossroads Guitar Festival in Los Angeles. In 2023, a banner year for the band, Joey and Dave became Grammy-winning songwriters when Bonnie Raitt\u2019s cover of their song, Made Up Mind (from their first album, Let it Lie), earned the Grammy for Americana Performance of the Year. The recognition was a fitting nod from one of their musical heroes, as their own music draws inspiration from the well-worn records of their childhood \u2014 Bonnie Raitt's blues, Little Feat's funky country-rock, Ry Cooder's eclectic instrumentals, Lyle Lovett's twangy traditionalism \u2014 culminating in a sound that salutes the past while planting its flag firmly in the present.\n\nDrawing on the energy of their recent live shows and a newfound sense of creative purpose, The Bros. Landreth returned to the studio for their fourth full-length album, Dog Ear. This record captures the spontaneous and collaborative spirit of their touring band, which includes drummer Roman Clarke and producer Murray Pulver, and marks a new, more effortless approach to songwriting. The band describes the album as a deeply personal and emotionally resonant work, exploring themes of family and the quest for stability amidst the itinerant life of a touring musician, and says it's \"really about trying to figure out what it means to be a consistent force in the lives of the people you care about.\" With songs like the title track written for their children, the album captures a raw and focused energy in the studio, featuring a handful of magical first takes and special collaborations with pop vocalist Begonia, keyboardist Glenn Patscha,and a powerful guest vocal performance from their longtime hero, Bonnie Raitt, who appears on two tracks (Knuckles, Half Moon Eyes).", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"146111-21898399@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/146111", "building_id":"", "building_name":"", "building_official_id":"", "campus_maps_id":"", "campus_maps_link_path":"", "campus_maps_link":"", "room":"", "location_name":"ARK Reserved", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"See Site For Pricing Information", "tags":["Ark","Mutotix"], "website":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6437\/6438", "links":[ { "type":"tickets", "url":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6437\/6438", "title":"Purchase tickets here!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/theark.org\/support-the-ark\/", "title":"Support The Ark!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/www.thebroslandreth.com\/", "title":"The Bros Landreth" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/www.madeleineroger.com\/", "title":"Madeleine Roger" }, { "type":"youtube", "url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=FlmjHDJjJRA", "title":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=FlmjHDJjJRA" } ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)", "group_id":"1053", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146111_original-1.jpg", "image_description":"The Bros.

Across ten tracks, Thompson refines his craft via an exploration of music\u2019s enduring preoccupations \u2014 love, longing, and the uneasy passage of time.\n\nThis album wasn\u2019t built upon a grand narrative. There was no self-imposed exile, no forced reinvention. Instead, it is centered around an exhortation that is threaded through the songs like a refrain: \u201cNever Be The Same,\u201d its title only revealing itself to Thompson after he\u2019d completed the recording.\n\n\u201cIt\u2019s a phrase that, unconsciously, I used twice. And when I saw it on the page, I realized, this is the message of this album,\u201d says Thompson. \u201cDon\u2019t ever be the same. Change. Grow! Even when the sentiment is, woe is me, I\u2019ll never recover after that love or loss. The message is still, change. Don\u2019t get too comfortable. Everything is temporary, so evolve or perish!\u201d\n\nThis pull and tension between comfort and change runs quietly throughout Never Be The Same, Thompson\u2019s 11th album, which was produced by renowned Grammy Award\u2013winning musician\/producer David Mansfield. At the core is Thompson\u2019s longstanding commitment to songwriting as a form, inspired by early influences like Chuck Berry, Hank Williams, and Crowded House, as well as the towering figures of the craft \u2014 Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, The Beatles, and, certainly, his parents, British folk icons Richard and Linda Thompson.\n\nUltimately, Never Be The Same is an album about steady evolution, a suite of deeply considered, carefully constructed songs rooted in lived experience. If there is a message, it\u2019s that change is not only inevitable but essential \u2014 even when you\u2019d rather stay exactly where you are.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"148128-21902996@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/148128", "building_id":"", "building_name":"", "building_official_id":"", "campus_maps_id":"", "campus_maps_link_path":"", "campus_maps_link":"", "room":"", "location_name":"ARK Reserved", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"See Site For Pricing Information", "tags":["Ark","Mutotix"], "website":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6663\/6664", "links":[ { "type":"tickets", "url":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6663\/6664", "title":"Purchase tickets here!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/theark.org\/support-the-ark\/", "title":"Support The Ark!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/www.teddythompson.net\/", "title":"Teddy Thompson" }, { "type":"youtube", "url":"http:\/\/Teddy Thompson - So This Is Heartache", "title":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=FjrxoievQhQ" } ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)", "group_id":"1053", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148128_original-1.jpg", "image_description":"Teddy Thompson", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148128_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148128_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148128_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148128_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148128_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148128_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148128_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148128_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148128_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148128_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148128_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148128_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148128_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148128_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/05\/event_148128_original-1.jpg" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/148128\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21902996 } , { "id":"147015-21900243", "datetime_modified":"20260327T101344", "datetime_start":"20261105T200000", "datetime_end":"", "has_end_time":0, "date_start":"2026-11-05", "date_end":"", "time_start":"20:00:00", "time_end":"", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"John Cowan Trio", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"John Cowan Trio: Presented by The Ark", "event_subtitle":"Presented by The Ark", "event_type":"Performance", "event_type_id":"15", "description":"The voice of newgrass\n\nWhen John Cowan and Luke Bulla perform together, their shows reflect 25 years of shared history, musical trust, and genuine friendship.

It seemed to go by in a blur, pounding the road, seeing the world, raising babies and sending them to college, mowing lawns, romances, marriages, high school drama, endless airports, the nights at the Hollywood Bowl, the night at the Red Barn in Louisville dodging various barroom projectiles, frozen diesel lines, blast furnace desert heat, hours of practice, late nights and early mornings, and lots and lots and lots of laughter.\n \n40 years ago. No laptops, no cellular phones, no Google, no downloads, no Skype, no Tweets, no Apple, no Microsoft, no texting, no electric cars, no Uber. A different world. But there were three young men with drive and wit who wanted to keep a special music alive. They believed in preserving the heritage of Western Music and presenting it to a new generation. They believed in entertaining, and they did so\u2026 entertaining themselves as well as the audience! And they believed in creating original Western Music to continue the tradition, not just seal it in amber as a museum piece. What they did not realize at the time was that they would be doing the same thing 40 years later.\n \n40 years ago, Ranger Doug, Too Slim and the late Windy Bill Collins played that first date on the bitter cold evening of November 11th, 1977 at Herr Harry\u2019s Frank N\u2019 Stein Rathskeller in Nashville, and small listening room dates followed. By August of the following year demand was building, and while Windy Bill left, Woody Paul joined, and the true professional beginnings of the band began at the Kentucky State Fair, where the trio played 10 days for $2500- and bought their own rooms and meals out of that!\n \nA first wave followed, including appearances on Austin City Limits; recording contracts with Rounder, then MCA, then Columbia; guest appearances on the Grand Ole Opry leading to membership in 1982; and a three-year run on The Nashville Network with a TV show called \u201cTumbleweed Theater,\u201d which yet in turn led to a seven-year run on public radio with \u201cRiders Radio Theater. People Magazine, interested in the Riders phenomenon, ran a story which happily caught the eye of a Hollywood producer.\n \nAnd so the second wave broke, sending the boys to Hollywood to star in \u201cRiders In The Sky\u201d on CBS for a year on Saturday mornings, introducing them to yet another generation. More recordings, endless show dates, and television appearances followed for a decade before the fine folks at Pixar called and asked the quartet \u2013 by this time they had been joined by Joey the Cowpolka King \u2013 to sing a tune called \u201cWoody\u2019s Roundup\u201d in the movie \u201cToy Story 2.\u201d Thus, the third wave began, highlighted by a number of projects for Disney, including two albums, both of which won GRAMMY Awards!\n \nThe creation of satellite radio has recently given them a new platform, as they continue to produce episodes of the award winning \u201cClassic Cowboy Corral\u201d on Sirius\/XM.\n \nStill more road dates and recordings (several on their own Riders Radio Records label) and other film and television projects have filled the days and weeks and years, and since the quartet has slowed up very little, the numbers begin to add up: an astonishing 7,200+ appearances, 35 years on the Grand Ole Opry, 40 records albums (well, now CDs,) and tours of all 50 states and all over the world. Honors accumulated as well. In addition to the two Grammy Awards, Riders received numerous awards from the Western Music Association, including the highest: membership in the Western Music Hall of Fame; numerous Wrangler awards from the Cowboy Hall of Fame and Western Heritage Museum; awards from the Academy of Western Artists; enshrinement in the Walkway of Western Stars, and more. What began as a celebration of classic Western Music and an evening of hilarity has become a career, and that career has become a legend, one which, 40 years on, shows no signs of stopping or even slowing down much.\n \nRanger Doug, Too Slim, Woody Paul and Joey the Cowpolka King\u2026 40 years on, \u201cThe Cowboy Way.\u201d", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"146276-21898827@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/146276", "building_id":"", "building_name":"", "building_official_id":"", "campus_maps_id":"", "campus_maps_link_path":"", "campus_maps_link":"", "room":"", "location_name":"ARK Reserved", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"See Site For Pricing Information", "tags":["Ark","Mutotix"], "website":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6463\/6464", "links":[ { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6463\/6464", "title":"Purchase tickets here!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/theark.org\/support-the-ark\/", "title":"Support The Ark!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/www.ridersinthesky.com\/", "title":"Riders in the Sky" }, { "type":"youtube", "url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=OxXy-m5VgKY", "title":"Yodeling Lessons: Tales from the Trail Starring Riders In the Sky, Part 1" } ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)", "group_id":"1053", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146276_original-1.jpg", "image_description":"Riders in the Sky", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146276_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146276_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146276_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146276_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146276_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146276_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146276_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146276_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146276_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146276_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146276_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146276_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146276_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146276_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146276_original-1.jpg" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/146276\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21898827 } , { "id":"146272-21898823", "datetime_modified":"20260310T122613", "datetime_start":"20261115T193000", "datetime_end":"", "has_end_time":0, "date_start":"2026-11-15", "date_end":"", "time_start":"19:30:00", "time_end":"", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Joshua Radin", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Joshua Radin: Presented by The Ark", "event_subtitle":"Presented by The Ark", "event_type":"Performance", "event_type_id":"15", "description":"New Music!\n\nJoshua Radin emerged in 2004 as an empathetic, engaging, and often enthralling troubadour.

The Governor-General\u2019s Performing Arts Awards asked Steven to write a song as a surprise tribute to his friend, Ryan Reynolds, and the result was \u201cCanada Loves You Back,\u201d a song as poignant, humorous and Canadian as the actor it honors.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"147920-21902403@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/147920", "building_id":"", "building_name":"", "building_official_id":"", "campus_maps_id":"", "campus_maps_link_path":"", "campus_maps_link":"", "room":"", "location_name":"ARK Reserved + Gold Circle", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"See Site For Pricing Information", "tags":["Ark","Mutotix"], "website":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6641\/6642", "links":[ { "type":"tickets", "url":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6641\/6642", "title":"Purchase tickets here!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/theark.org\/support-the-ark\/", "title":"Support The Ark!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/www.stevenpage.com\/", "title":"Steven Page" }, { "type":"youtube", "url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3LveJ221ByE", "title":"Feel (Official Music Video)" } ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)", "group_id":"1053", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147920_original-1.jpg", "image_description":"Steven Page", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147920_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147920_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147920_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147920_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147920_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147920_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147920_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147920_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147920_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147920_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147920_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147920_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147920_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147920_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147920_original-1.jpg" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/147920\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21902403 } , { "id":"146277-21898828", "datetime_modified":"20260310T122130", "datetime_start":"20261122T160000", "datetime_end":"", "has_end_time":0, "date_start":"2026-11-22", "date_end":"", "time_start":"16:00:00", "time_end":"", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Joe Jencks & Deidre McCalla", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Joe Jencks & Deidre McCalla: Presented by The Ark", "event_subtitle":"Presented by The Ark", "event_type":"Performance", "event_type_id":"15", "description":"Deidre McCalla plainly admits what every rocker knows - life begins with an acoustic guitar.

On her new album, Neon Summer Skin, Bedouine, the project of Azniv Korkejian, explores this feeling of safety long before one can fully understand the concept. Written with vivid, honest and intimate imagery after visiting her family in Saudi Arabia, it tells the story of family and upbringing, and mourns the end of her childhood. There is a singular resonance and newfound heft in this music previously unheard in Bedouine\u2019s discography. \n\nBedouine is known for making gentle, lilting folk songs that build fingerpicked guitar melodies into tsunamis of emotion. Her masterful songwriting and timeless melodies have earned her praise from publications like Pitchfork, who said her music \u201cboasts a surreal calm and lived in glow,\u201d and Rolling Stone, who lauded her \u201chumble folk-pop brilliance,\u201d plus an NPR Tiny Desk Concert, and tours with the likes of Fleet Foxes and Father John Misty. \n\nAs personal as her songs have been, they\u2019ve often built upon universal experiences. The writing on Neon Summer Skin, however, is full of specific memories: a neon swim suit, beads of water dripping down tangled hair, the blood of a lamb, often sacrificed at Syrian weddings, oozing across the pavement. \u201cIt was the first time I had the inclination to write a record about one main subject which gave me a clarity and motivation I hadn't quite had before.\u201d \n\nBedouine started working on the record after a trip to Saudi Arabia to visit her parents. She correctly assumed it would be her last one there because her family was retiring to Armenia. \u201cFor my 20s and much of my 30s, I couldn\u2019t sit still,\u201d she says. \u201cI would pack my car and move to a new place. I was so curious about my own independence that it just didn't occur to me for the longest time to mourn the past. But after that trip, I came home and was so devastated. I couldn't place the feeling immediately, but as I started writing, I realized I was processing that I wasn\u2019t ready to stop being somebody\u2019s kid. \n\nShe co-produced most of the songs with her longtime collaborator, Gus Seyffert, and wrote with the sweet pop melodies of Todd Rundgren, Karen Carpenter, and Carole King in mind. She also worked on a couple of tracks with producer Jonathan Rado with Michael and Brian D\u2019Addario of the Lemon Twigs. \u201cIt was important to me to try to approach some of the production of this record a little differently, just to try something new,\u201d she says. The result is a fuller, more playful sound, at times grand and orchestral, shimmery and surreal, inflected with bits of psychedelia, bossa nova, and jazz.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"147617-21901364@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/147617", "building_id":"", "building_name":"", "building_official_id":"", "campus_maps_id":"", "campus_maps_link_path":"", "campus_maps_link":"", "room":"", "location_name":"ARK Reserved", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"See Site For Pricing Information", "tags":["Ark","Mutotix"], "website":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6609\/6610", "links":[ { "type":"tickets", "url":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6609\/6610", "title":"Purchase tickets here!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/theark.org\/support-the-ark\/", "title":"Support The Ark!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/www.bedouinemusic.com\/", "title":null }, { "type":"instagram", "url":"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/otherdelightsplease\/", "title":"Other Delights Please" }, { "type":"youtube", "url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ZbT3IdzpjJw", "title":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ZbT3IdzpjJw" } ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)", "group_id":"1053", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147617_original-1.jpg", "image_description":"Bedouine", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147617_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147617_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147617_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147617_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147617_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147617_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147617_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147617_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147617_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147617_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147617_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147617_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147617_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147617_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147617_original-1.jpg" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/147617\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21901364 } , { "id":"146408-21899048", "datetime_modified":"20260311T113021", "datetime_start":"20261219T200000", "datetime_end":"", "has_end_time":0, "date_start":"2026-12-19", "date_end":"", "time_start":"20:00:00", "time_end":"", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Blackthorn", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Blackthorn: Presented by The Ark", "event_subtitle":"Presented by The Ark", "event_type":"Performance", "event_type_id":"15", "description":"A Celtic tapestry\n\nMembers of the Michigan Irish American Hall of Fame, Blackthorn offers shows that involve a musical ramble across Ireland.
