Happening @ Michigan https://events.umich.edu/list/rss RSS Feed for Happening @ Michigan Events at the University of Michigan. UMMA Pop Up: Lily Talmers (January 25, 2020 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/69588 69588-17368303@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, January 25, 2020 1:00pm

.Everyone and their cousin is trying to become a folk singer these days— Lily Talmers is no exception. Hailing from metro Detroit, and now a student in Ann Arbor, her songwriting is introspective and often cutting, drawing mostly from the 60's folk tradition. She is a singer, and multi-instrumentalist, accompanying herself on guitar, piano, and clawhammer banjo. Her writing technique is delicate, in which she intermingles the political and the extremely personal. Inspired by writers such as Gillian Welch, Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, and Andrew Marlin (of Mandolin Orange), she perfectly balances the lyrical "heaviness" with a lightness in voice and accompaniment. You can find her on Instagram, Facebook, and check her out on Spotify.

Kenneth Kiesler, conductor
Logan Skelton, piano

Pre-concert lecture at 7:15 PM in the lower lobby.

The University Symphony Orchestra performs dance--inspired music by Gershwin and Rachmaninoff. In Gershwin’s Cuban Overture, originally entitled Rhumba, Cuban percussion instruments and Caribbean rhythms evoke the sounds and atmosphere of Gershwin’s visit to Cuba. With its famous opening clarinet slide, swagger and charm, Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue springs from the America of the Roaring Twenties and crosses the tracks between the jazz and popular song of New York’s Tin Pan Alley and the classical realm of Carnegie Hall. U-M faculty member, Logan Skelton, who recently played Gershwin’s Concerto in F with the USO returns as piano soloist. The program continues with Rachmaninoff's virtuosic and colorful Symphonic Dances, a suite of 3 dances which balances Rachmaninoff’s lush melodies, colorful harmonies, and energetic rhythms with Russian church music. It also features one of the most famous and lyrical saxophone solos in the orchestral repertoire. As the last piece he composed for orchestra, Symphonic Dances sums up Rachmaninoff’s style, with its innovation as well as its nostalgia for the Russia of the past.

PROGRAM:
Gershwin - Cuban Overture, Rhapsody in Blue
Rachmaninoff - Symphonic Dances

Location: Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre
Organized By: Michigan Malaysian Students' Association (MiMSA)

For the past 10 years, the Michigan Malaysian Students' Association (MiMSA) has come together to prepare for one special night every year: the Malaysian Cultural Night.
Free for all, people of all ages are welcome to spend their evening with a musical that delves into Malaysian art, culture and racial dynamics. Guests are also invited for a free dinner with some good Malaysian company after the show. This year, we present Kita.

Kita (Us)

Malaysian Cultural Night 2020 will follow the story of 4 Malaysian students who transferred to the University of Michigan, each with their unique background stories. The light hearted play will showcase unity among ethnically diverse people, and most importantly, the significance of true friendship. The characters will embody individuals that struggle with family expectations, finding their identities away from home, making friends all whilst adapting to a new culture in a new country. This play is highly relatable to students who are studying abroad, and it aims to realize the experience as well as to educate the non-Malaysian audience on our identity. MCN 2020 will also showcase a variety of traditional dances from different ethnic groups in Malaysia.

Jim Jarmusch and Carter Logan: SQÜRL (February 4, 2020 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/70389 70389-17594436@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 4, 2020 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

Special Event: Tuesday, February 4, 7:00pm / Michigan Theater, 603 E Liberty St, Ann Arbor, MI 48104

Acclaimed filmmaker Jim Jarmusch (Stranger Than Paradise, Down by Law, and Mystery Train) and multi-instrumentalist Carter Logan perform together as SQÜRL, a self-described “enthusiastically marginal rock band from New York City who like big drums and distorted guitars, cassette recorders, loops, feedback, sad country songs, molten stoner core, chopped and screwed hip-hop.” Logan works with Jarmusch as a producer and composer with credits including The Dead Don’t Die, Only Lovers Left Alive, Paterson, and Broken Flowers.

For this Speaker Series event, they will perform a live score to silent films by Dadaist and Surrealist artist Man Ray in addition to new sonic projects. Using loops, analogue synthesizers, and effected guitars, the duo create a semi-improvised ambient score for four of Man Ray’s dreamlike films. Of the project, Jarmusch says: “Man Ray’s films are very kinetic in the way they move. It’s like a kind of dream logic. Man Ray loves little details of daily life as the Surrealists did. He likes these strange things. A starfish in a jar. Or a scattering of a tailor’s pins” (Metro Times).

Supported by the University of Michigan Library, the Department of Film, Television, and Media, and the Ann Arbor Film Festival.

Alvin Youngblood Hart calls himself "the Cosmic American Love Child Of Howlin' Wolf and Link Wray." What this means for you is a blues show with no boundaries and plenty of energy. An admirer of blues category-crosser Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown, Hart drops country, ska, and more into his shows without breaking a sweat. And at the root of it all is some great finger-picking Delta blues guitar. Whether he's playing a solo acoustic show or fronting an electric band, this Oakland-born guitarist who has appeared in films by both Wim Wenders ("The Soul of a Man") and Martin Scoreses ("The Blues") is a monster creative figure, and every show of his is an adventure ride. It's been many years since we last heard Alvin Youngblood Hart at The Ark, so don't delay on tickets for this.

Stone Sound Collective unites diverse musicians and instruments to create a new global soundscape. Led by multi-percussionist Mark Stone, the group brings together celebrated world percussion traditions of Africa and India with the lyricism of cello and saxophone. Stone Sound Collective performs new music drawing on Mark's wide-ranging compositional influences, stretching from American jazz to traditional African music and classical Indian music to European concert music.

Prof. Mark Stone is a composer-performer with a passion for using music to bring diverse communities together. An internationally recognized multi-percussionist, Stone has performed with the foremost musicians of Uganda, Ghana, South Africa, India, Trinidad, Ecuador, and the United States. In the group, Stone plays the newly-invented array mbira, an American-made 120 key lamellaphone and a wide range of traditional melodic African instruments, including the Ghanaian gyil, Ugandan akogo, and South African karimba. He is joined by Matt Dufresne (saxophones, flute, atenteben, and nadaswaram), Abigail Alwin (cello), Chinelo Amen-Ra (djembe, congas, and cajon) and Sam Jeyasingham (mridangam, tabla, kanjira, thavil, and morsing). These established artists freely cross musical boundaries with their dynamic playing and are exceptional improvisers, bringing a wide-range of performance experience and artistry to the Stone Sound Collective.

Born in a sandstone Victorian farmhouse that has been in his family since it was built four generations ago, Andrew Brown is the son of a Motown session musician and grew up listening to the sounds of his dad’s piano as he steeped in musical influences from Duke Ellington to Stevie Wonder. As a young man returning from a trip to New Orleans with a newfound interest in Swing music, he co-founded the eclectic Americana group Appleseed Collective, with whom he has toured 150+ dates per year. Traveling all over the continental United States, playing esteemed venues and festivals such as The Ark, Sisters Folk Festival, Wheatland, Cervantes Ballroom, Summercamp Music Festival, Schuba’s, and The Ann Arbor Folk Festival at Hill Auditorium, he cut his teeth as a guitarist, songwriter and band leader. Since slowing down his touring schedule in 2017 he began tirelessly practicing and performing the music of his favorite guitar player: Django Reinhardt. Since then he has studied at various music camps with many of the genres heavy hitting players such as Angelo Debarre, Sebastian Gineaux, and Gonzalo Bergara, and was even invited to back up Denis Chang at one of his concerts. Andrew currently plays throughout Michigan with his own project Djangophonique, his band Appleseed Collective, and his friends' projects Third Coast Gypsy Jazz, and Smoking Dandies. He also teaches guitar, both generally and specifically in the style of Django

Presented by The Ark
Michigan Emmy award-winning songwriter Kitty Donohoe was born into a large, creative family outside of Detroit and has been ‘making up’ songs for as long as she can remember. Describing her music as ‘folky, bluesy, Irishy, American, Canadianish’, she draws from her roots to create music that is uniquely her own ~ music that’s "haunting, melodic and literate" (All Music Guide_. With a love of language, an innate sense of melody, and the soul of a storyteller, she backs herself on piano, guitar and cittern with equal finesse, but she sees these skills as mostly providing the foundation for the music she writes, both songs and instrumentals. Kitty’s latest CD, The Irishman’s Daughter, combines her original pieces with some traditional music and is getting great reviews.

Special Pop Up Performance with Mariachi Nuevo Santander (February 15, 2020 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/72199 72199-17957207@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, February 15, 2020 1:00pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Join us for a special pop up performance of this award-winning youth Mariachi group from Texas’s Roma High School presented in collaboration with UMS. 

For 25 years, San Antonio has played host to the Mariachi Vargas Extravaganza, the largest, longest running and most competitive mariachi group competition in the world. Mariachi Nuevo Santander has placed at the top of the high school division throughout the competition’s history and has been named “grand champions” of the entire Extravaganza seven times, selected directly by members of the world’s preeminent Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán, which performs a UMS concert at Hill Auditorium on Friday, February 14.

Mariachi Nuevo Santander has appeared on national television and performed throughout the U.S., from Washington, DC to Ashland, OR. The group appeared on NBC’s “America’s Got Talent” Season 12, recorded in Pasadena, California and at the Universal Studios in Los Angeles.

Mariachi Nuevo Santander will release its third album in March, following Corazón Orgullo y Tradición in 2018 and Heart, Pride & Passion in 2014. The new album, titled Sangre Mariachera, features 11 tracks, including the group’s award-winning performance from the December’s Mariachi Vargas Extravaganza in San Antonio. The album features traditional mariachi rhythms and songs with original arrangements by the group’s director, Eloy Garza. Garza’s background as a mariachi musician with Mariachi Nuevo Santander and Mariachi Sol de Mexico has served as the foundation for the group’s success. 

This performance is free and open to the public. No tickets required.

Mariachi Nuevo Santander’s performance is presented in partnership with the University Musical Society and supported by the U-M Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion.

Acclaimed by The New Yorker as “an American Master,” Composer David Lang is part visionary sound artist, part musical mad scientist.  With one foot in the classical tradition and one in the future, his music explores meaning and musical relationships in a way that is at once fiercely intellectual and plain-spoken.  Join the U-M Chamber Choir, under the direction of Eugene Rogers, for a stunning performance of Lang's Pulitzer-Prize winning work, the little match girl passion. The New York Times describes this touching work as “understated and ethereal… tender and mysterious.” The performance on February 18  will be the opening event of his week-long William Bolcom Guest Residency at the University of Michigan, which will feature performances of his music and other events across campus.    

This program is supported by the Katherine Tuck Enrichment Fund and the Greg Hodes and Heidi Hertel Hodes—Partners in the Arts Endowment Fund.

The symbiotic relationship between cerebral and corporeal intelligence systems - between the brain and the body - is central to how we understand and perform. The growing recognition of this connection has had a profound influence on the development of curriculum, teacher training and research.  The integration of artistic practices into the research process is a key aspect of this development. This presentation looks at two approaches to the use of artistic contemporary research: arts-based and arts practice methods. 
 
Arts-based research draws on a variety of practices including poetry, drawing song-writing, improvisation, composition and performance across all phases of research including data collection, analysis, interpretation and representation (Leavy, 2015). In Arts Practice research, artistic practice is a key method of exploration and forms a substantial part of the submitted evidence around the research inquiry (Nelson, 2013).
 
This presentation discusses strategies for the inclusion of arts-based or arts practice approaches in contemporary research, looking at questions of expertise, ethics, representation, dissemination and appropriateness to the research question. It concludes with a case study of arts-based research that uses singing as a tool of social and cultural integration in an Irish primary school.

Joe Pug has collected plenty of the requisite Dylan comparisons over his career, but in his new music it's easier to hear the sway of contemporary influences from the likes of The Milk Carton Kids' Kenneth Pattengale, who produced Joe's new album. :The Flood In Color” has been nearly four years in the making. But the album started with the goal of focusing on the simplicity of musicians playing together, live, in the same room. Recently relocating back to his childhood home in Prince Georges County, Maryland after many years spent in Chicago and Austin, Joe wanted take a new approach. The partnership with Pattengale proved to be an irresistible opportunity to do just that. Come and check out this new direction from an Ark favorite! Matthew Wright opens.

Location: Walgreen Drama Center
Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

Directed by Michael McElroy
Music direction by Michael McElroy

Shakespeare meets Motown, Gospel, Blues, and Soul In Sonnets, Soliloquies, & Soul, conceived and directed by Tony Award nominee Michael McElroy (director of the Tony Award-winning “Broadway’s Inspirational Voices”). By “colliding” the cornerstone of classic text with African-American musical genres, McElroy (with collaboration from a group of incredibly diverse Musical Theatre students) creates a new musical work that delves into the heart of the human experience--how we’ve grown, and spaces where we can still explore change.

“We are in a space and a time right now where we are so fractured,” says McElroy. “What theatre has to do right now more than ever is to fill that void. People can come together to grapple with what they believe without feeling judged or confronted. Theater and music help us to explore the ways in which we are different but more importantly how at our core very much the same. How is Shakespeare's investigation of humanity in the 1600’s the same as what we grapple with today?”

To answer that question, McElroy commissioned musical responses to Shakespeare’s sonnets and soliloquies from peers including Daniel Watts (Ike Turner from Broadway’s Tina: The Tina Turner Musical), Julianne Wick Davis (Jonathan Larson Award Winner), Crystal Monee Hall (Rent), Celisse Henderson (Godspell) Marcus Paul James (Ain’t Too Proud) and Allen Louis. Some musical responses include lines directly from Shakespeare’s text; some, like a Blues piece that’s the antithesis of the sonnet to which it responds, turn the traditional language on its head. Original text interweaves with Shakespearean sonnets, soliloquies, and new musical works, creating a song-cycle that highlights the throughlines of love, loss, hate, time, age, and jealousy that tie us together.

*This show was originally announced with the working title Being Alive.

By Frederico García Lorca
Translated by Jo Clifford
Directed by Malcolm Tulip

Written by Frederico García Lorca, considered to be Spain’s greatest poet of the twentieth century, Yerma is the tragic story of a woman living in rural Spain who is immersed in the constant pressure to have children. Her husband of two years, Juan, whom she married to please her father and not for love, has been unable to give her the child she desires. Tormented, Yerma seeks advice from an older woman in the town who tells her of a pilgrimage many barren young women take to help them get pregnant. A provoking and heart-rending story, Yerma lays bare society’s expectations through one woman’s struggles between honor and conformity, passion, and duty.

Alaa Algargoosh has always been fascinated by sound and its relation to shapes. As an architect, she had a special interest in the influence of the architectural design on sound, and this was the driving force behind wanting to study architectural acoustics. Her previous work includes designing innovative sound diffusers inspired by the cymatics phenomenon in which she explored some of the physical aspects of room acoustics. However, the physical measurements do not precisely reflect the human acoustical experience. Therefore, her study extends to include the perceptual and cultural aspects of acoustics, providing a more integrated approach to understanding the aural experience. The physical aspect concentrates on analyzing sound propagation in space whereas the perceptual aspect centered on the psychological and physiological effects of sound and its relation to human cognition. The cultural aspect focuses on studying the role of the cultural background in sound perception and the role of social activities in shaping the soundscape of specific places. Hence, her research aims at providing a new comprehensive method of analyzing the aural architecture of buildings by linking qualitative and quantitative methods, studying the ways in which they interact, and how they relate to the architectural design.

Directed by Michael McElroy
Music direction by Michael McElroy

Shakespeare meets Motown, Gospel, Blues, and Soul In Sonnets, Soliloquies, & Soul, conceived and directed by Tony Award nominee Michael McElroy (director of the Tony Award-winning “Broadway’s Inspirational Voices”). By “colliding” the cornerstone of classic text with African-American musical genres, McElroy (with collaboration from a group of incredibly diverse Musical Theatre students) creates a new musical work that delves into the heart of the human experience--how we’ve grown, and spaces where we can still explore change.

“We are in a space and a time right now where we are so fractured,” says McElroy. “What theatre has to do right now more than ever is to fill that void. People can come together to grapple with what they believe without feeling judged or confronted. Theater and music help us to explore the ways in which we are different but more importantly how at our core very much the same. How is Shakespeare's investigation of humanity in the 1600’s the same as what we grapple with today?”

To answer that question, McElroy commissioned musical responses to Shakespeare’s sonnets and soliloquies from peers including Daniel Watts (Ike Turner from Broadway’s Tina: The Tina Turner Musical), Julianne Wick Davis (Jonathan Larson Award Winner), Crystal Monee Hall (Rent), Celisse Henderson (Godspell) Marcus Paul James (Ain’t Too Proud) and Allen Louis. Some musical responses include lines directly from Shakespeare’s text; some, like a Blues piece that’s the antithesis of the sonnet to which it responds, turn the traditional language on its head. Original text interweaves with Shakespearean sonnets, soliloquies, and new musical works, creating a song-cycle that highlights the throughlines of love, loss, hate, time, age, and jealousy that tie us together.

*This show was originally announced with the working title Being Alive.

Shakespeare meets Motown, Gospel, Blues, and Soul In Sonnets, Soliloquies, & Soul, conceived and directed by Tony Award nominee Michael McElroy (director of the Tony Award-winning “Broadway’s Inspirational Voices”). By “colliding” the cornerstone of classic text with African-American musical genres, McElroy (with collaboration from a group of incredibly diverse Musical Theatre students) creates a new musical work that delves into the heart of the human experience--how we’ve grown, and spaces where we can still explore change.

“We are in a space and a time right now where we are so fractured,” says McElroy. “What theatre has to do right now more than ever is to fill that void. People can come together to grapple with what they believe without feeling judged or confronted. Theater and music help us to explore the ways in which we are different but more importantly how at our core very much the same. How is Shakespeare's investigation of humanity in the 1600’s the same as what we grapple with today?”

To answer that question, McElroy commissioned musical responses to Shakespeare’s sonnets and soliloquies from peers including Daniel Watts (Ike Turner from Broadway’s Tina: The Tina Turner Musical), Julianne Wick Davis (Jonathan Larson Award Winner), Crystal Monee Hall (Rent), Celisse Henderson (Godspell) Marcus Paul James (Ain’t Too Proud) and Allen Louis. Some musical responses include lines directly from Shakespeare’s text; some, like a Blues piece that’s the antithesis of the sonnet to which it responds, turn the traditional language on its head. Original text interweaves with Shakespearean sonnets, soliloquies, and new musical works, creating a song-cycle that highlights the throughlines of love, loss, hate, time, age, and jealousy that tie us together.

*This show was originally announced with the working title Being Alive.

Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

By Frederico García Lorca
Translated by Jo Clifford
Directed by Malcolm Tulip

Written by Frederico García Lorca, considered to be Spain’s greatest poet of the twentieth century, Yerma is the tragic story of a woman living in rural Spain who is immersed in the constant pressure to have children. Her husband of two years, Juan, whom she married to please her father and not for love, has been unable to give her the child she desires. Tormented, Yerma seeks advice from an older woman in the town who tells her of a pilgrimage many barren young women take to help them get pregnant. A provoking and heart-rending story, Yerma lays bare society’s expectations through one woman’s struggles between honor and conformity, passion, and duty.

Faure’s lyrical and ultimately tragic Pelleas and Melisande is followed by Ravel’s masterpiece Daphnis and Chloe, Suite No. 2, which evokes the ancient myth with opulent impressionist orchestral colors played by an expanded orchestra.

Mountain Heart offers bluegrass and more. This band as been fearlessly revolutionizing the way acoustic music can be presented and played. The band's name has been synonymous with cutting-edge excellence in bluegrass circles since the group's creation. Widely known throughout the music industry for continually redefining the boundaries of acoustic music, the band has gained legions of loyal fans as a result of both their superlative musicianship and their incendiary live performances. Mountain Heart's music always fell just barely under the bluegrass umbrella, and now, from large outdoor folk music, Americana, jam band, and bluegrass festivals, to sold-out shows opening for Southern rock icons like The Marshall Tucker Band, The Tedeschi Trucks Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd, Mountain Heart has been making an undeniable connection with wider audiences. Whenever they come to The Ark, they tear the house down—and at last year'sAnn Arbor Folk Festival, they just had a bigger house to tear down.

Organized By: Maize Pages Student Organizations

For the past 10 years, the Michigan Malaysian Students' Association (MiMSA) has come together to prepare for one special night every year: the Malaysian Cultural Night.
Free for all, people of all ages are welcome to spend their evening with a musical that delves into Malaysian art, culture and racial dynamics. Guests are also invited for a free dinner with some good Malaysian company after the show. This year, we present Kita.

Kita (Us)

Malaysian Cultural Night 2020 will follow the story of 4 Malaysian students who transferred to the University of Michigan, each with their unique background stories. The light hearted play will showcase unity among ethnically diverse people, and most importantly, the significance of true friendship. The characters will embody individuals that struggle with family expectations, finding their identities away from home, making friends all whilst adapting to a new culture in a new country. This play is highly relatable to students who are studying abroad, and it aims to realize the experience as well as to educate the non-Malaysian audience on our identity. MCN 2020 will also showcase a variety of traditional dances from different ethnic groups in Malaysia.

Crystal Bowersox's emotive folk-rock-country style was catapulted from the cramped coffeehouses and cavernous subway tunnels of Chicago to millions of homes across America when she placed second in Season 9 of American Idol. Along with her old soul of a voice, her carefree style and "don't mess with me" attitude set her apart from the other contestants and eventually landed the self-taught songstress performances with the like of the legendary Joe Cocker, Harry Connick, Jr., and Alanis Morrissette. Crystal started out in Toledo's folk clubs and coffeehouses, notably the Village Idiot in Maumee. Now she's moved to Nashville, added an Americana element that fits her voice beautifully, and is ready to take on the world!

JigJam is a multi-award winning quartet from the heart of the midlands in Ireland. Blending the best of traditional Irish music with Bluegrass and Americana in a new genre which has been branded as 'I-Grass' (Irish-influenced Bluegrass), their onstage energy along with their virtuosic musical ability has captivated audiences throughout the world. Says "Here's an Irish band that's going to impact the world as hard as Clancy Brothers or U2 if they get only half a chance." Jamie McKeogh, Cathal Guinan and Daithi Melia all hail from Tullamore, County Offaly with County Tipperary–born Gavin Strappe completing the quartet. All four members grew up immersed in Irish traditional music and culture, and the band has collectively achieved over twenty All-Ireland titles at Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann competitions. They have now developed their own unique style of music influenced by American folk music while staying true to their Irish roots.

Three decades into an illustrious and multifaceted career, Kevin Griffin finally decided to write and record his very first full-length solo album, "Anywhere You Go." The Better Than Ezra frontman, award-winning songwriter, and Pilgrimage Festival co-founder has added yet another persona to his resume: solo troubadour. Buoyed by minimal production, sweeping vocal harmonies, and narrative lyricism, he’s penned some of his most intimate, inimitable, and irresistible tunes to date.“My guiding rule was to do something different…” says Griffin. “…to just do the opposite of my first instinct. I wanted to bring all the music that I’m moved by into a collection of songs that didn’t pull from my usual bag of tricks. I started with no expectations, considerations, or concessions other than just wanting to make music that I loved, and I think because of that the whole process has been a joy."

With a seven-time all-Ireland banjo champ, a four-time banjo champ, another member who is an all-Ireland champ on both fiddle and bodhran, and with a passionate lead vocalist like a young Springsteen adopted by the Chieftains (yes, they're a quartet, but there are three banjos), the result is unforgettable. On both sides of the Atlantic the word is out about this group! WB3 performed at the “Friends of Ireland” luncheon on Capitol Hill attended by House Speaker Paul Ryan, President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, and Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny, and has headlined virtually every major U.S .Celtic fest for several years in a row. With a strong bluegrass influence (they call their music "Celtgrass"), the band is rapidly gaining favor in the worlds of bluegrass and Americana as well, as evidenced by their invites to Merlefest, ROMP Fest, Sisters Folk Fest, Old Settlers Fest, Four Corners Fest, and more! They come to Michigan with a new release, "Haven.

The Tartan Terrors are not a band but, in the words of the organizers, "North America's premiere Celtic event, featuring the best in music, comedy and dance." Amazed by the blistering chops of a two-time world champion bagpiper, the driving tones of drums from around the world, and a guitar played unlike any you've ever heard, standing-room-only audiences come to understand why Dig This magazine declares the Terrors "one act to keep an eye on!" Combine all the music with championship-caliber Highland Dancers and internationally recognized comedic performers, and this Celtic group goes beyond the ordinary. Members of The Tartan Terrors have performed on four different continents; in some of the most prestigious festivals, Highland Games, and theaters in North America, for a U.S. president and Britain's Queen, and on Good Morning America. Experience the phenomenon of the Tartan Terrors and see why Celtic Beat hails them as "the heirs apparent to the mayhem"!

Toronto born Noah Reid is known mostly for his work on television, film and stage. It wasn’t until recently that the world got a glimpse of his serious musical talent.

In 2015, Reid was nominated for a Canadian Screen Award for Best Original Song in the feature film People Hold On. In 2017, his soulful acoustic cover of Tina Turner’s pop hit The Best on CBC’s Schitt’s Creek cracked #3 on the iTunes Canada Charts. That directed fans all over the world to Reid’s 2016 debut solo album Songs From A Broken Chair.

With a songwriting style that touches on the singer-songwriters of the seventies and an honest, contemporary delivery, Noah Reid is a combination of old and new, of polished and rusted over. A second studio album produced by Matthew Barber is underway and expected to be released in 2020.

Mohsen Amini’s concertina, Hayley Keenan’s fiddle and Graeme Armstrong’s guitar meld seamlessly together to produce a unique force that has taken them to many corners of Europe, throughout the UK on their own headline tours, to Canada, Australia and now Michigan! World-leading festival appearances include the Cambridge Folk Festival, Denmark’s Tønder, Celtic Colours in Cape Breton, Fairport’s Cropredy Convention, Celtic Connections and Brittany’s Festival Interceltique de Lorient. The trio’s captivating signature has also been recognized by the wider industry, through official showcase selections at both WOMEX 17 and Folk Alliance International 2018. They come to Michigan with a terrific new album, "Beyond."

Karan Casey has long been one of the most innovative provocative and imitated voices in Irish folk music. Since embarking on her solo career after a stint as lead vocalist of the legendary band Solas, she has released six solo albums, a duo album, and a children's album and has appeared on more than 50 albums in total. She has toured constantly throughout North America, Europe and Japan, performing solo, with her own band and with many other artists, often from outside the realm of Irish music. Her adventurous spirit results from the varied influences--classical music, jazz, and American pop--that Casey has made her own since growing up amid Irish traditional music in Ballyduff Lower, County Waterford. Karan Casey, says the Associated Press, has "a voice so beautiful, it's almost impossible to avoid falling under her spell." She comes to Michigan with a recent album, "Hieroglyphs That Tell the Tale."
