SUMMARY:Allison Russell
DESCRIPTION:Please Note: Proof of Vaccination is required for admission. By purchasing a ticket you agree that you and your guests will comply with all laws\, orders\, ordinances\, regulations and health and safety guidance adopted by the State of Michigan\, the County of Washtenaw and The Ark\, including any guidelines in place at the time of the show. Attendees who do not comply will be asked to leave. Policies will be updated as circumstances and requirements change in our community. Please review The Ark’s current COVID-related information before attending a show.  \nCOVID-19 FAQ \nThough deep and wide may be the world\, it is within dim and narrow rooms – airless and mundane – that the true stories of our lives are enacted; are bartered and brokered – enslaved and empowered; held in and sung out. \nAnd Song most surely began as a cry or a prayer – though no need discerning between the two\, for they are the same – and both sacred: the prayer and the wail becoming Song as soon as shared. \nSome of us come\, later in life\, to find our knees; while others slip young into trauma like a quarry stone gone under\, held down by the weight of their own world. \nMany of those\, alas\, never come back up. But those able are wont to be luminous\, struggle having landed their hearts on the outside of their bodies: a swinging lantern within that aforementioned dim room – where stories are unraveled\, thus to be reconstructed … purposefully reanimated. \nIt was also within such a room that Allison Russell – singer\, songwriter\, poet\, and activist – bore witness to herself in descent. But the abused child she was played mother to the brave woman and fierce artist she would become – surviving being one of only two options\, and not the most likely. \nBlessed be. \nAllison’s new album\, Outside Child – that draws water from the dark well of a violent past — is her first solo offering\, she also being a pivotal voice in two bands: Birds of Chicago and Our Native Daughters. And telling her own story sounds now to have made her free – not from it all\, but free within it: to reframe and reclaim her identity and its singular authority. \nThe songs themselves – though iron-hard in their concerns – are exultant: exercising haunted dream like clean bedsheets snapped and hung out into broad daylight\, and with the romantic poet’s lust for living and audacity of endurance. \nNina Simone comes to mind\, as well Edith Piaf: two shamanistic practitioners who turned their faces into the blade of storm and roared back dignity and hope. \nThis music\, no less – no less – is a triumph: a courageous work – burnished and bright; unspeakably beautiful as she sings the unspeakable. \nAbove all\, it is an act of remarkable generosity: a cathartic\, soulful\, buoyant and redeeming gift to us all and\, one must believe\, to herself as well. \n-Joe Henry\, Bath\, Maine
