SUMMARY:Andrew Bird
DESCRIPTION:Andrew Bird is an internationally acclaimed\, Grammy-nominated multi-instrumentalist\, vocalist\, whistler\, and songwriter who picked up his first violin at the age of four and spent his formative years soaking up classical repertoire completely by ear. Since beginning his recording career in 1997\, Bird has released 17 albums and performed extensively across the globe. He has recorded with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band\, appeared as “Dr. Stringz” on Jack’s Big Music Show\, and headlined concerts at Carnegie Hall\, Sydney Opera House\, Walt Disney Concert Hall\, Red Rocks Amphitheatre\, and festivals worldwide.\n\nBird performed as the Whistling Caruso in Disney’s The Muppets movie\, scored the FX series Baskets\, and collaborated with inventor Ian Schneller on Sonic Arboretum\, an installation that exhibited at New York’s Guggenheim Museum\, Boston’s ICA\, and the MCA Chicago. Bird has been a featured TED Talks presenter\, a New Yorker Festival guest\, and an op-ed contributor for the New York Times.\n\nMore recently\, Bird released a series of site-specific improvisational short films and recordings called Echolocations\, recorded in remote and acoustically interesting spaces: a Utah canyon\, an abandoned seaside bunker\, the middle of the Los Angeles River\, and a reverberant stone-covered aqueduct in Lisbon. Additionally\, Bird hosts an ongoing series of live-streamed performances called Live from the Great Room\, putting the creative process on display for fans as he collaborates and converses with friends in a candid\, intimate setting.  \nShortly after receiving his 2020 Grammy nomination for Best Folk Album\, with My Finest Work Yet\, Andrew Bird made his professional acting debut in the cast of Fargo’s fourth installment\, which concluded on FX in November 2020 and is currently streaming via Hulu. In June 2022\, Bird released his latest album\, Inside Problems\, on Loma Vista Recordings.

SUMMARY:The RFD Boys
DESCRIPTION:It’s hard to believe\, because each show is fresh and new\, but the RFD Boys have been delighting Michigan audiences since 1969 with their fabulous musicianship and sly\, exquisitely timed between-song humor. They’re legends of Michigan bluegrass\, but they’re more than that too. With an appearance on the cover of Bluegrass Unlimited\, with songs recorded by the likes of the Country Gentlemen\, and with performances alongside bluegrass greats like Bill Monroe and Ralph Stanley\, the RFD Boys are a part of America’s bluegrass tradition. The RFD Boys are one of southeastern Michigan’s most durable musical ensembles\, and their shows capture a deep slice of musical Ann Arbor. Their 50th-anniversary appearance at the Folk Festival was a special moment and introduced many listeners to Dan Roehrig\, who joined the band on guitar\, mandolin\, and bass in mid-2018. Dan grew up listening to Doc Watson\, Clarence White\, and Tony Rice\, and you can hear it in both his singing and guitar playing.
