An impossible to believe, yet, true story. Once upon a time there was a teenage boy working on his family farm in apartheid South Africa. The year was 1960. This boy loved to sing, in fact he loved to sing so much that he allowed himself an impossible dream. In his dream he would create a group of singers, from his family members, to sing traditional South African songs. His group would perform all over South Africa and they would become the greatest music group his country would ever know. How could such a dream come to a young farm boy in a country rife with hardship, violence and trouble? Well, Joseph Shabalala was this young farm boy and his dream would become Ladysmith Black Mambazo. \r\n\r\nThe year 2025 marks the 65th anniversary of Joseph Shabalala forming Ladysmith Black Mambazo. His group would not only conquer all of South Africa, but would become a worldwide phenomenon, winning more GRAMMY Awards (Five), and receiving more GRAMMY Award nominations (Nineteen), than any World Music group in the history of recorded music. \r\n\r\nDuring the dark years of South African Apartheid, Ladysmith Black Mambazo followed a path of peaceful protest through songs of hope and love. When Nelson Mandela was released from prison, in 1990, he said that Ladysmith Black Mambazo\u2019s music was a powerful message of peace that he listened to while in jail. When Mandela was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, in 1993, he asked the group to join him at the ceremony. It was Mandela who called Ladysmith Black Mambazo \u201cSouth Africa\u2019s Cultural Ambassadors to the World.\u201d \r\n\r\nThe group sings a traditional music style called isicathamiya (Is-Cot-A-Mee-Ya), which developed in the mines of South Africa. It was there that black workers were taken to work far away from their homes and families. Poorly housed and paid, the mine workers would entertain themselves, after a six-day work week, by singing songs into the wee hours on Saturday night and Sunday. When the miners returned to their homes, this musical tradition returned with them. \r\n\r\nIn the mid-1980s, American singer\/songwriter Paul Simon famously visited South Africa and incorporated the group's rich harmonies into his renowned Graceland album \u2013 a landmark recording considered seminal in introducing World Music to mainstream audiences. This brought the group to the attention of music lovers all over the world, the beginning of a global musical career that shows no sign of ending. \r\n\r\nAfter leading his group for over fifty years and approaching his seventy-fifth birthday, Joseph Shabalala retired in 2014, handing the leadership to his three sons, Thulani, Sibongiseni and Thamsanqa Shabalala. Having joined their father\u2019s group in 1993, their many years of training had prepared them in ways no others could be trained. Now, carrying their father\u2019s dream into the future, the Shabalala Family continues the group\u2019s success for the world to hear. \r\n\r\nLadysmith Black Mambazo is Thulani Shabalala, Sibongiseni Shabalala, Thamsanqa Shabalala, Msizi Shabalala, Albert Mazibuko, Abednego Mazibuko, Mfanafuthi Dlamini, Pius Shezi and Sabelo Mthembu.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"141785-21889364@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/141785", "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":["Mutotix"], "website":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6167\/6168", "links":[ { "type":"tickets", "url":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6167\/6168", "title":"Purchase tickets here!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/theark.org\/support-the-ark\/", "title":"Support The Ark!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/www.mambazo.com\/", "title":"Mambazo" }, { "type":"youtube", "url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=D6RFCGefSes", "title":"Ladysmith Black Mambazo performs \"Nomathemba\" from South Africa" } ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)", "group_id":"1053", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/11\/event_141785_original-1.jpg", "image_description":"Ladysmith Black Mambazo", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/11\/event_141785_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/11\/event_141785_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/11\/event_141785_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/11\/event_141785_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/11\/event_141785_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/11\/event_141785_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/11\/event_141785_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/11\/event_141785_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/11\/event_141785_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/11\/event_141785_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/11\/event_141785_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/11\/event_141785_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/11\/event_141785_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/11\/event_141785_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/11\/event_141785_original-1.jpg" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/141785\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21889364 } , { "id":"144591-21895531", "datetime_modified":"20260312T181051", "datetime_start":"20260312T190000", "datetime_end":"", "has_end_time":0, "date_start":"2026-03-12", "date_end":"", "time_start":"19:00:00", "time_end":"", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Vibrance Dance Annual Showcase", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Vibrance Dance Annual Showcase: Presented by Vibrance Dance Company", "event_subtitle":"Presented by Vibrance Dance Company", "event_type":"Performance", "event_type_id":"15", "description":"No description is provided. \nPlease visit https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6312\/6313 for more detail.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"144591-21895531@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/144591", "building_id":"", "building_name":"", "building_official_id":"", "campus_maps_id":"", "campus_maps_link_path":"", "campus_maps_link":"", "room":"", "location_name":"GA -

Born out of the rich Acadian ancestry of its members, and created and driven by bandleader Michael Doucet\u2019s spellbinding fiddle playing and soulful vocals, BeauSoleil is notorious for bringing even the most staid audience to its feet. BeauSoleil\u2019s distinctive sound derives from the distilled spirits of New Orleans jazz, blues rock, folk, swamp pop, Zydeco, country and bluegrass, captivating listeners from the Jazz and Heritage Festival in New Orleans, to Carnegie Hall, then all the way across the pond to Richard Thompson\u2019s Meltdown Festival in England.\r\n\r\nTheir most recent album was titled \u201cFrom Bamako to Carencro,\u201d alluding the cultural and migratory connection between Bamako, in Mali, West Africa, and Louisiana (symbolized in name by the Lafayette, LA suburb of Carencro), a connection that draws a sonic bloodline back to BeauSoleil\u2019s roots.

They are regular guests on Garrison Keillor\u2019s NPR show A Prairie Home Companion, where Keillor has dubbed them as \u201cthe best Cajun band in the world,\u201d and their music is so integral to the Cajun culture that they have been featured on the New Orleans\u2013based hit HBO program \u201cTreme\u201d.

Synthesizing their respective crafts within the walls of Philharmonie de Paris after being given access to the extraordinary instrument collection of the Mus\u00e9e de la Musique in partnership with the French label InFin\u00e9, their new single, \u201cPerpetual Adoration,\u201d blends historical harps, celestial synths, and Barwick\u2019s singular voice into an immersive electroacoustic soundscape of memory, spirituality, and timeless resonance. It is the first piece of new music from the duo since \u201cCanyon Lights,\u201d a single released as part of 2021\u2019s Adult Swim compilation, Digitalis.\n\nTogether in improvised dialogue, voice and instrument \u2014 Lattimore selecting an \u00c9rard double movement harp (France, 1873) and Barwick behind a Sequential Circuits PROPHET-5 analog synthesizer (USA, circa 1975) \u2014 the duo channels an immense volume of emotion drawn from a visit to Basilica of Sacr\u00e9 C\u0153ur de Montmartre. On a rainy night, they saw a sign outside the cathedral labeled \"ADORATION PERP\u00c9TUELLE\" and entered the reverberant space where a nun was singing above organ drones during Sunday Mass. They carried the powerful scene with them into a session. The resulting performance honors both the moment and the history within their instruments: the gilded, ornate \u00c9rard harp, the first modern pedal harp, remains open for innovation, still carrying the simplest, universally beautiful tone of human fingers on strings.

With his new album Heartbreak City, McCray turns the page on a new chapter\u2014raw, joyful, and deeply personal. Produced by blues-rock champions and Grammy Nominated duo Joe Bonamassa and Josh Smith, Heartbreak City finds the legendary singer and guitarist firing on all cylinders, reconnecting with his roots while stepping boldly forward.\r\n\r\nFrom the first notes of the title track, McCray reminds listeners why he\u2019s long been hailed as one of the most expressive blues artists of his generation. Heartbreak City showcases Larry\u2019s gritty vocals and searing guitar work, evoking the decades he spent grinding it out in clubs, pouring heartache and redemption into every solo. Elsewhere, standout single \u201cBye Bye Blues\u201d draws on McCray\u2019s teenage years in Michigan, when soul music still ruled the airwaves. Co-written with longtime collaborator Charlie Walmsley, it nods to giants like Johnnie Taylor and Bobby Bland while delivering a sound all his own\u2014grooving, head-nodding, and utterly timeless.\r\n\r\nThe release follows 2022\u2019s Blues Without You, which marked McCray\u2019s long-awaited return after a seven-year hiatus. The album debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Blues chart and was named the #1 Blues Album of 2022 by Blues Rock Review, solidifying his status as a torchbearer of modern blues. In 2024, McCray was inducted into the Michigan Rock and Roll Legends Hall of Fame, a testament to his deep roots in the state and his enduring impact on American music. Now, Heartbreak City builds on that momentum. It\u2019s a record that reflects Larry McCray at his most self-assured -grounded in tradition, but more fearless than ever.\r\n\r\nBorn in 1960 in Smackover, Arkansas, McCray grew up steeped in gospel, soul, and the electric blues of the three Kings\u2014B.B., Albert, and Freddie. He moved to Saginaw, Michigan at 12, where he honed his guitar style by blending classic blues with the psychedelic edge of Hendrix and the southern fire of the Allman Brothers. After years of gigging while working a factory job, he was signed in the late \u201980s as the first artist on Virgin Records\u2019 blues imprint Point Blank. His debut Ambition (1990) was followed by acclaimed albums like Delta Hurricane, Meet Me at the Lake, and Born to Play the Blues, solidifying his role in defining modern blues-rock through the \u201990s and early 2000s.\r\n\r\nOver the years, McCray has played alongside a who\u2019s who of music legends \u2014B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Albert King, the Allman Brothers, Joe Walsh, Jonny Lang, Levon Helm, and of course, Joe Bonamassa. He was named Orville H. Gibson Male Blues Guitarist of the Year in 2000 and won the Top Guitarist prize in the International Blues Matters writer\u2019s poll in 2014.\r\n\r\nBut accolades aside, it\u2019s the soul in McCray\u2019s music that keeps fans coming back. \u201cI feel totally reborn,\u201d he says. \u201cThis new album lets me show the full scope of what I do \u2014it\u2019s blues, it\u2019s soul, it\u2019s real stories. This is who I am.\u201d", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"140574-21887362@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/140574", "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":["Mutotix"], "website":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6095\/6096", "links":[ { "type":"tickets", "url":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6095\/6096", "title":"Purchase tickets here!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/theark.org\/support-the-ark\/", "title":"Support The Ark!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/larrymccraylive.com\/", "title":"Larry McCray" }, { "type":"youtube", "url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UGcsqFWy-94", "title":"Larry McCray -

Profoundly inspired by fellow midwesterner John Prine, he\u2019s a working-class folk musician to his core. His small town roots, tilled with city streets mentality, are turning heads North and South of I-80.\r\n\u201cI love the energy, music, and creativity of Chicago, but at the same time, the roots and hard work of my small town,\u201d he shares. Growing up in Delavan, Illinois, with a population less than 2,000, Diekhoff\u2019s grandparents were farmers, and their values have always provided the baseline of his songs. \r\n\r\nHe writes music for \u201cthe kind of people that come to my shows. Whether in Chicago or Delavan, everyone has a story, and everyone puts in a long day and works hard the same way,\u201d he says. \u201cMy generation may have been labeled as slackers, but I don\u2019t know anyone who doesn\u2019t work hard - many people I know put in 50-60 hours a week and 12 hour days. That\u2019s what keeps me playing. I don\u2019t like anyone to be left out; my music is for everyone in big and very small towns.\u201d\r\n\r\nHe listened to punk rock and grunge as a kid before discovering a friend\u2019s dad playing Hank Williams, and it was a revelation. Prine and Guthrie quickly followed. The name Chicago Farmer was originally for a band, but the utilitarian life of driving alone from bar to bar, city to city - to make a direct connection to his audience and listener, took a deeper hold.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"142228-21890246@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/142228", "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":["Mutotix"], "website":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6202\/6203", "links":[ { "type":"tickets", "url":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6202\/6203", "title":"Purchase tickets here!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/theark.org\/support-the-ark\/", "title":"Support The Ark!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/chicagofarmer.com\/", "title":"Chicago Farmer" }, { "type":"youtube", "url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2xce7Med1Fg&list=RD2xce7Med1Fg&start_radio=1", "title":"\"Mattress\" - Chicago Farmer (Recorded live at MM Studios)" } ], "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\/142228\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21890246 } , { "id":"143805-21894064", "datetime_modified":"20260115T123503", "datetime_start":"20260322T193000", "datetime_end":"", "has_end_time":0, "date_start":"2026-03-22", "date_end":"", "time_start":"19:30:00", "time_end":"", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Celebrating Dick Siegel & His Music", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Celebrating Dick Siegel & His Music: Presented by The Ark", "event_subtitle":"Presented by The Ark", "event_type":"Performance", "event_type_id":"15", "description":"Celebrate a midwestern songwriting icon\r\n\r\nBeloved, legendary songwriter, Michigan\u2019s own Dick Siegel, has performed his iconic songs across the country, from New York to Texas, and internationally, since he exploded on the Detroit\/Ann Arbor music scene in the 1980s with the release of his critically acclaimed first album, SNAP!

It is, of course, silver \u2014 a self-deprecating wink introducing the timbre of McLamb\u2019s sophomore album. These last few years, McLamb\u2019s been parsing her upbringing, the songs she wrote about it, and the whole endeavor of the stories we tell about ourselves. \u201cIf you get really good at telling the story of who you are, you become the story you told instead of the ever-dynamic, ever-changing person you have to be,\u201d McLamb says. \u201cI did really well telling the story of who I am, but I began asking: What\u2019s the point of it?\u201d \n\nAt only 23, McLamb has already lived multiple lives. In her late teens, McLamb found success via co-hosting the podcast Binchtopia and sharing songs on TikTok. She soon pulled back from the platform, feeling it didn\u2019t represent her actual ethos as a songwriter. Instead, she signed to Royal Mountain and released her 2024 debut Going Through It, a document of a complex, traumatic childhood that led to searching phases \u2014 dropping out of college during the pandemic in favor of working on Midwest farms, eventually leaving her North Carolina hometown behind for Los Angeles. It all gave her plenty of stories to tell on Going Through It. And now on Good Story, she wonders how that process affected her. Yet the homemade trophy of Good Story\u2019s cover is far from a jocular consolation prize alone.

Our show this year is based on Avatar: the Last Airbender, a series that has been quintessential for many Asian Americans. For much of our community, Avatar was a rare moment in childhood media that allowed us to identify with heroes rather than side-characters or stereotypes. The world-building, cultural practices, and morals draw heavily from Asian cultures, allowing Asian Americans to see elements of themselves reflected with depth, strength, and respect. In addition to representation, whether it is between elements, responsibilities, and identities, Avatar explores the idea of balance.

liberation. A search for and an embrace of the self. I imagine they were left with a headscratcher of a question: well, shit. Where do you go from there?\r\n\r\nFortunately, they listened to the wizard and followed their noses backwards to find their way forward. \r\n\r\nAiming to strip away pretense and invite experimentation, they commandeered a garden shed from a friend and retrofitted it to make a twenty-track album that is vast, weird, and wholly unexpected. \r\n\r\nIf Lefty is anything, it is the journal of Penny and Sparrow\u2019s inner child. Dog-eared, lock busted open. On its pages the sketches of dreams, nightmares, erotica, and literary fan fiction graffiti the margins of poetry, elegies, and love letters in the wild colors of saxophone blue, electronic pink, and blood harmony red. \r\n\r\nBeautifully varied and richly rendered, it is an album that wanders from theme to theme, style to style, exultation to tragedy. Yet it is never lost. If anything, it is at play. \r\n\r\nUnited by its intimate vocals and aching harmonies, its acoustic laments trickle into ethereal pop only to surge into whimsical ballads and crest into grand hooligan anthems that sway gently down to familiar shores where melancholic ballads tell of love lost, found, forgotten, and remembered. \r\n\r\nAndy and Kyle have written some albums in blood. Others they\u2019ve whispered to the sea. This one they danced in the sky with smiles on their faces. Lefty feels like not just a celebration of their journey beyond the bounds of their traditional genre, but as if they have rediscovered the joy in music by honoring the sounds that inspired two boys growing up in Texas to one day make the damn stuff themselves.\r\n\r\n\u2013Pierce Brown, author and friend\r\n\r\n\r\nVIP includes:\r\n \r\nOne general admission ticket\r\nEarly entry into the

singer\/songwriters in the folk community. With a career spanning 40 years and a discography of 17 solo releases, he embodies the best of folk music with his eclectic blend of folk, blues and bluegrass influences, insightful lyrics and engaging delivery. John\u2019s career was launched in the mid-80s when he won the prestigious New Folk award at the Kerrville Folk Festival in 1984. \r\n\r\nSeveral years later he signed to Red House records for the release of his debut album I Know. He migrated to Windham Hill\/High Street for his subsequent three releases, earning extensive critical acclaim from a variety of publications including Rolling Stone which dubbed him the preeminent male singer-songwriter of the New Folk Movement. He returned to Red House in 1998 and has since released a string of albums that have achieved folk chart-topping success.\r\n\r\nHailing from New Jersey, but forged in the Greenwich Village Fast Folk scene, John has honed his craft and persona into an unmistakable image. The shy, wry, insightful, and yes, sensitive singer-songwriter has been copied and parodied. But the old coat he wove still fits, and still suits him well.

Her music, while rooted in folk traditions, transcends conventional structures to incorporate elements of progressive rock and experimental composition.\n\nFollowing her acclaimed 2021 album Urban Driftwood, Acadia represents a significant artistic expansion, featuring three distinct sections that move from traditional folk influences to atmospheric soundscapes and experimental arrangements.

He\u2019s always been that way, and he has never understood the whole phenomenon of smiling in pictures, although he is a very happy guy. One night in middle school he stayed up under the covers with a flashlight and a DiscMan, listening to Reba McEntire\u2019s 'That\u2019s the Night that the Lights Went Out in Georgia' on repeat until the DiscMan ran out of batteries. That night he became a songwriter, although he didn\u2019t actually write a song until years later. After high school he spent a few years distracting himself from having to gather up the courage to do what he knew he had to do.\r\n\r\nEventually he found his way to a writing degree, and then a teaching degree. He wrote most days like his life depended on it, all sorts of things, not just songs, but songs too. He fell in love with teaching high school English, which was fantastic because he never thought he\u2019d actually come to truly love it. His students were fierce and unstoppable forces of noise and curiosity, and for all that they took from him in sleep and sense, they gave him a hundred times back in sparks and humility. \r\n\r\nAll the while he was also playing truckloads of music. There was one weekend where he flew to LA while grading essays on the plane, played two shows, and then flew back home, still grading essays, and woke up to teach at 5 am on Monday morning. It was around this time he started wondering if such a life was sustainable.\r\n\r\nAlas, music, the tour life, was a constant raccoon scratching at the back door. Jeffrey spent nights on end sitting up in bed, and then sitting on the front porch, staring off into the dark, wondering if he could bear to leave teaching to go on tour full time. Eventually his brain caught up with what his guts had known for months. With tears in his eyes he announced to his students that he wouldn\u2019t be back the following year, and that he didn\u2019t feel right hollering at them to chase their dreams at all cost if he wasn\u2019t going to do the same.\r\n\r\nJeffrey Martin tours full time now. He is always making music, and he is always coming through your town.

Hailing from Ann Arbor, MI, Pajamas' style has been described as \u201cexploratory rock\" - a good descriptor for Pajamas\u2019 sound which contains a smorgasbord of influences from across almost the whole canon of American music tradition. This four man group is redefining the live music experience, standing on the shoulders of giants and crafting performances that are as much about the journey as the destination. \n\nThe band\u2019s rocky overall sound is nuanced, feeling almost like each song is an interesting, in-depth conversation between the band and audience. The band's four members - Nicholas Orr, Graham Low, Owen Kellenberger, and Liam Gallegos - weave together a tapestry of sound that is both intricate and expansive.

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":["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.

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":["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":"142466-21890985", "datetime_modified":"20251211T113542", "datetime_start":"20260510T200000", "datetime_end":"", "has_end_time":0, "date_start":"2026-05-10", "date_end":"", "time_start":"20:00:00", "time_end":"", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Vance Gilbert", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Vance Gilbert: Presented by The Ark", "event_subtitle":"Presented by The Ark", "event_type":"Performance", "event_type_id":"15", "description":"\u201cIf Joni Mitchell and Richie Havens had a love child, with Rodney Dangerfield as the midwife, the results might be something close to the great Vance Gilbert\" \u2013Richmond Magazine\r\n\r\nVance was born and raised in the Philadelphia area.

The often unbelievable, sometimes harrowing, and wholly inspiring journey of Davina Sowers gave birth to her eponymous band Davina and The Vagabonds in 2004. As the tale goes, she grew up in the economically depressed Allegheny town of Altoona, PA, which she now describes as \u201cawesome in the industrial era, but horrible for high school.\u201d She was adopted by her much older stepfather when he was in his 80s; he passed away when she was just 13. Through him and his Edison phonograph, she first heard The Ink Spots, Sidney Bechet, Louis Armstrong and Louis Prima, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and many others. \u201cGreat man. He was my angel and still is,\u201d she says.\n\nOn her own, she vividly recalls hours in front of the record player where she religiously spun Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and Simon and Garfunkel records belonging to her folk singer mom.\n\nTo this day, Davina still refers to music as \u201cmy first and eternal love.\u201d Despite early dalliances with classical piano and guitar, she developed a heavy drug habit in high school, which morphed into heroin dependency, left her homeless, sent her in and out of jail, and brought on all manner of trouble. Kicking dope on the streets, she \u201cgot clean, started the band, and worked [her] ass off every day since.\u201d \n\nDavina and the Vagabonds shine every time they play. To date, they\u2019ve performed in forty-five states, twelve European countries, and two Canadian provinces. Not to mention, they\u2019ve earned feverish acclaim from the Chicago Tribune, NPR, and more in addition to performing on BBC\u2019s international favorite late-night program Later\u2026 With Jools Holland and appearing on PBS\u2019s Bluegrass Underground.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"144668-21895669@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/144668", "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":["Mutotix"], "website":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6322\/6323", "links":[ { "type":"tickets", "url":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6322\/6323", "title":"Purchase tickets here!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/theark.org\/support-the-ark\/", "title":"Support The Ark!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/www.davinaandthevagabonds.com\/", "title":"Davina and the Vagabonds" }, { "type":"youtube", "url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=qnlHc3H9i5U", "title":"Four or Five Times - Davina and The Vagabonds" } ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)", "group_id":"1053", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144668_original-1.jpg", "image_description":"Davina and the Vagabonds", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144668_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144668_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144668_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144668_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144668_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144668_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144668_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144668_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144668_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144668_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144668_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144668_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144668_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144668_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144668_original-1.jpg" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/144668\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21895669 } , { "id":"145644-21897628", "datetime_modified":"20260401T151356", "datetime_start":"20260513T200000", "datetime_end":"", "has_end_time":0, "date_start":"2026-05-13", "date_end":"", "time_start":"20:00:00", "time_end":"", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Leo Kottke", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Leo Kottke: Presented by The Ark", "event_subtitle":"Presented by The Ark", "event_type":"Performance", "event_type_id":"15", "description":"\"an American legend in the guitar world\" \u2013Los Angeles Times \n\nAcoustic guitarist Leo Kottke was born in Athens, Georgia, but left town after a year and a half. 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":["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":["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\/resolve\/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":"144669-21895670", "datetime_modified":"20260204T122147", "datetime_start":"20260515T200000", "datetime_end":"", "has_end_time":0, "date_start":"2026-05-15", "date_end":"", "time_start":"20:00:00", "time_end":"", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Jon Muq", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Jon Muq: Presented by The Ark", "event_subtitle":"Presented by The Ark", "event_type":"Performance", "event_type_id":"15", "description":"Melding the sounds of America with the sounds of Uganda\n\nFor Jon Muq, a singer-songwriter born in Uganda and now living in Austin, Texas, music is part of a larger conversation he\u2019s having with the world and everybody in it.

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.

artist, singer-songwriter Chris Knight remains boldly empowered to make music that always delivers the unflinching truth. In fact, the man raised in Slaughters, Kentucky uses a simple, direct barometer to regularly check his muse: \u201cIf I can\u2019t believe myself, I won\u2019t sing the song.\u201d\r\n\r\nWhat Knight writes about is what he knows. He was raised in mining country, so it\u2019s no surprise that he would earn a degree in agriculture from Western Kentucky University and then work as a mine reclamation inspector and then miner\u2019s consultant.

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. Through the luck of the draw and with the support of many loyal friends he found himself on stage more often than not. 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.

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. Of songs \u2014 old and new \u2014 allowed to breathe in the quiet of a Virginia afternoon.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"145910-21898088@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/145910", "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":["Mutotix"], "website":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6401\/6402", "links":[ { "type":"tickets", "url":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6401\/6402", "title":"Purchase tickets here!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/theark.org\/support-the-ark\/", "title":"Support The Ark!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/www.petermulvey.com\/", "title":"Peter Mulvey" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/jennanicholls.com\/", "title":"Jenna Nicholls" }, { "type":"youtube", "url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zYYqyx2w6Hk&list=RDzYYqyx2w6Hk&start_radio=1", "title":"Floyd Mercantile: \u201cGreen and Grey\u201d" } ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)", "group_id":"1053", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_145910_original-1.jpg", "image_description":"Floyd Mercantile", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_145910_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_145910_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_145910_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_145910_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_145910_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_145910_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_145910_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_145910_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_145910_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_145910_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_145910_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_145910_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_145910_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_145910_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_145910_original-1.jpg" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/145910\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21898088 } , { "id":"146274-21898825", "datetime_modified":"20260312T112628", "datetime_start":"20260604T200000", "datetime_end":"", "has_end_time":0, "date_start":"2026-06-04", "date_end":"", "time_start":"20:00:00", "time_end":"", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"VOICES feat.

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.

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. Smither forged lifelong friendships with many musicians, including Bonnie Raitt who went on to record his songs, \u201cLove You Like A Man\u201d and \u201cI Feel the Same. (Their friendship has endured as their career paths intertwined over the years.)

His own hits like \u201cJust Call Me Lonesome,\u201d \u201cNobody Wins,\u201d and \u201cTexas In 1880\u201d continue to be played on radio and by bands around the world.\r\n\r\nHis most recent project For You To See The Stars is in two parts, a book of short fiction, and a collection of songs to go with it.

Born in Oklahoma, she moved often as a kid with her Army Colonel dad. She started singing professionally at 16, fronting the rockabilly band \u201cKelly and the Fireballs\u201d in the DC area, but it soon became clear she was more of a country singer. After high school, she moved to Austin and It wasn\u2019t long before she got on the radar of MCA\u2019s Tony Brown, who signed her after an introduction by Nanci Griffith.\r\n\r\nKelly\u2019s recording career began at a time when Nashville was experiencing a creative resurgence with the likes of Lyle Lovett, Steve Earle, Foster & Lloyd and The O'Kanes. She recorded three albums for MCA that were critical hits, but it wasn\u2019t until she left the major label restrictions behind that she came into her own with 1999\u2019s What I Deserve for Rykodisc.\r\n\r\nThe albums Willis has made since What I Deserve have only burnished her reputation as Austin\u2019s reigning queen of Americana, including being inducted into the Austin Music Hall of Fame.

It was placed there because of his other accomplishments\u2014the Grammy awards, the worldwide tours, and the many other accolades he\u2019s earned through his music. But for Carter, joining the legendary names honored on that stretch of highway just might mean the most. \"There's a certain sound that's up there that you just don't hear anywhere else,\" he says. \"I think that played a big part in how I sound today.\" \n\nTrue to those Kentucky roots, Carter continues to pour all he has back into bluegrass. 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.

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.

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. Working with producer Ross Farbe and recording live-to-tape in Nashville\u2019s Bomb Shelter, she travels as far as she\u2019s been from the stripped-down classic country of celebrated early work like 2017\u2019s This Time Last Night and 2019\u2019s You Made It This Far. Following the wide-open serenity of 2023\u2019s momentous Safe to Run, she now leans toward confrontational arrangements full of distortion and full-band spontaneity, never sacrificing a classicist\u2019s gift for melody that makes each song instantly memorable.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"145051-21896596@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/145051", "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":["Mutotix"], "website":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6342\/6343", "links":[ { "type":"tickets", "url":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6342\/6343", "title":"Purchase tickets here!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/theark.org\/support-the-ark\/", "title":"Support The Ark!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/www.estherrose.net\/", "title":"Esther Rose" }, { "type":"youtube", "url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=w7R4B1mr-PQ", "title":"Esther Rose - \"Safe to Run (feat.

writes songs that push the boundaries of Americana into an uncommon blend of folk, rock, blues, and prog rock. 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).

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.

Kaki continues to create, perform, and lend her musical voice to the forefront of contemporary music, as shown on her 2025 EP, Tutto Passa, and recent album, SEI, the soundtrack to a unique performance piece where guitarists become dancers, coordinating their whole bodies to perform the rigors of both choreography and composition. \n\nEndorsed by Ovation Guitars, Kaki released the EP Stop Sometime last August and remains a force on the music scene, touring Italy and Germany in the fall and performing both solo and BUGS shows throughout parts of the United States into 2026, while also and scheduling yet another EP for release on February 13.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"147010-21900238@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/147010", "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":["Mutotix"], "website":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6523\/6524", "links":[ { "type":"tickets", "url":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6523\/6524", "title":"Purchase tickets here!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/theark.org\/support-the-ark\/", "title":"Support The Ark!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/www.kakiking.com\/", "title":"Kaki King" }, { "type":"youtube", "url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=O3oya9mt6lo", "title":"Kaki King - Collections (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_147010_original-1.jpg", "image_description":"Kaki King", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147010_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147010_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147010_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147010_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147010_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147010_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147010_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147010_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147010_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147010_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147010_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147010_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147010_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147010_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_147010_original-1.jpg" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/147010\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21900238 } , { "id":"143449-21893189", "datetime_modified":"20260112T132027", "datetime_start":"20260725T200000", "datetime_end":"", "has_end_time":0, "date_start":"2026-07-25", "date_end":"", "time_start":"20:00:00", "time_end":"", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"South For Winter", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"South For Winter: Presented by The Ark", "event_subtitle":"Presented by The Ark", "event_type":"Performance", "event_type_id":"15", "description":"\u201cMust-see artist\u201d \u2013No Depression\r\n\r\nWith a blend of dreamy acoustic duets, foot-stomping folk and bluesy murder ballads, New Zealand-formed and Nashville-based South for Winter\u2019s sound is as eclectic as their origins.

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",

been nothing short of remarkable. Siblings Bekah, Caleb, and Joshua Liechty grew up making music together but officially formed their band in 2019, hitting the road with a self-funded tour and their debut EP, Another World. Their tight harmonies and heartfelt songwriting captivated audiences, leading them to make history as the first group to win The Voice. \n\nSince then, the trio has sold over 100,000 tickets across 40 states, headlined nationwide tours, and performed at the Grand Ole Opry, the Indianapolis 500, and on The Ellen Show. They\u2019ve shared the stage with the Nashville Symphony Orchestra, Kelsea Ballerini, Lady A, and Pentatonix, but their signature sound remains unmistakably their own\u2014fusing folk, pop, and sibling magic to create music that moves the soul. \n\nIn April 2026, Girl Named Tom will hit the road on a nationwide tour promoting their new album, Dust to Dust. The momentum will keep rolling with a performance on NBC\u2019s The Voice in early April, alongside an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show shortly thereafter.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"144361-21895231@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/144361", "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":["Mutotix"], "website":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6308\/6309", "links":[ { "type":"tickets", "url":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6308\/6309", "title":"Purchase tickets here!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/theark.org\/support-the-ark\/", "title":"Support The Ark!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/www.girlnamedtom.com\/", "title":"Girl Named Tom" }, { "type":"youtube", "url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=E8G-voCJ7Sc&list=PLkpPLUXBW63kCQshiQYIs-McgxBfBWXkY&index=2", "title":"Girl Named Tom | Locked In Your Love (Live Acoustic Version)" } ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)", "group_id":"1053", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144361_original-1.jpg", "image_description":"Girl Named Tom", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144361_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144361_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144361_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144361_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144361_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144361_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144361_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144361_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144361_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144361_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144361_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144361_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144361_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144361_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144361_original-1.jpg" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/144361\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21895231 } , { "id":"146714-21899544", "datetime_modified":"20260319T111210", "datetime_start":"20260807T200000", "datetime_end":"", "has_end_time":0, "date_start":"2026-08-07", "date_end":"", "time_start":"20:00:00", "time_end":"", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Moonmill", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Moonmill: Presented by The Ark", "event_subtitle":"Presented by The Ark", "event_type":"Performance", "event_type_id":"15", "description":"Ethereal folk pop stories\n\nMoonmill is a folk pop duo based in Brooklyn, NY.

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.

Touring remains a compulsion as much as a joy, despite having played every major European city countless times. \u201cThe need to play your new material is so overwhelming that it trumps all the comforts and trinkets.\u201d\n\nCity is a product of this hunger for discovery, and idolatry of the album as a form \u2013 like we had in 1974. City\u2019s cover mirrors its interior, the first song is the greeting, the instrumental closer the conclusion. It\u2019s a story. It\u2019s a record for people who, like its creators, are curious.

Native Texan, Crowell is a multi-Grammy Award-winning troubadour with fifteen number one hits. Over the course of his career, Crowell has gracefully blended his own mainstream success as an artist with a prolific catalog of songs cut by the likes of Emmylou Harris, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Keith Urban and more, making him a master among his peers. \n\nWith more than 40 years of American roots music under his belt, Crowell has also been cited as the architect of Americana music, extending his genre reach, but owing to the distinctly universal, literary quality of his writing, he has also penned beloved songs for artists as diverse as Bob Seger, Etta James, the Grateful Dead, John Denver, Jimmy Buffett and countless others.\n\nA member of the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, Crowell is also the author of the acclaimed memoir, Chinaberry Sidewalks, and teamed up with New York Times best-selling author Mary Karr for Kin: Songs by Mary Karr & Rodney Crowell in 2012, with Karr saying of her collaborator, \u201cLike Hank Williams or Townes Van Zandt or Miss Lucinda, he writes and croons with a poet\u2019s economy and a well digger\u2019s deep heart.\u201d Crowell was honored with ASCAP\u2019s prestigious Founder\u2019s Award in 2017, and that same year released the album Close Ties, which spawned another Grammy nomination for \u201cIt Ain\u2019t Over Yet\u201d with Rosanne Cash and John Paul White in the category of Best Americana Song. 2019\u2019s Texas was a collection of Lone Star-centric collaborations with Ringo Starr, Willie Nelson, Ronnie Dunn, Steve Earle and more, and Crowell\u2019s most recent album release is the 2021 set, Triage. \n\nCrowell came up in Nashville\u2019s songwriting heyday alongside Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt, and Steve Earle and has continued that legacy of camaraderie and kinship with his peers well into the iconic era of his career. As many say - \u201cyour favorite song was probably written by Rodney Crowell.\u201d Crowell has four daughters and lives with his wife and dog in Tennessee.

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":["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.

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":["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.

During 2025, he turned the page on the next chapter of his career and life with his tenth full-length LP and first independent album since 2017, One Day Home. Immersing himself in the process mind, body, and soul, he pored over these 13 tracks, perfecting each moment and co-producing six tracks with Wally Gagel. This time around, he prepared the music for a double-LP release with one half original studio versions of the tracklisting and the other piano vocal versions.

"description":"A Celtic tapestry\n\nMembers of the Michigan Irish American Hall of Fame, Blackthorn offers shows that involve a musical ramble across Ireland. Traditional songs of emigration, ballads, shanties and jigs and reels combine with some of Ireland's best contemporary songs for a musical experience that is uniquely Irish. Each of the band's members plays multiple instruments, including flute, accordion, tin whistle, fiddle, banjo, cittern, bodhran, and more. These instruments complement the lead vocal of Belfast native Richard McMullan and the band's tight blend of four-part harmony. This band has been bringing a rich tapestry of Celtic music to southeast Michigan and beyond for 40 years, and they're a must-see for those who want to know the deep traditions of Irish music in Michigan.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"146408-21899048@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/146408", "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":["Mutotix"], "website":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6469\/6470", "links":[ { "type":"tickets", "url":"https:\/\/mutotix.umich.edu\/6469\/6470", "title":"Purchase tickets here!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/theark.org\/support-the-ark\/", "title":"Support The Ark!" }, { "type":"other", "url":"https:\/\/www.blackthorn1.com\/", "title":"Blackthorn" } ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO)", "group_id":"1053", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146408_original-1.jpg", "image_description":"Blackthorn", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146408_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146408_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146408_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146408_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146408_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146408_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146408_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146408_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146408_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146408_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146408_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146408_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146408_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146408_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/03\/event_146408_original-1.jpg" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/146408\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21899048 } ]
