SUMMARY:My Folky Valentine
DESCRIPTION:Ticket prices on our website reflect all-in pricing for purchases made online or by phone.  This means the price you see includes the ticket price plus MUTO’s ticket processing fee. Tickets may be purchased with no included fees in person at The Ark during box office hours. \nThe 21st Annual celebration of love and music features Annie & Rod Capps\, Shari Kane & Dave Steele\, and Whit & Al Hill. Three acclaimed musical duos who also happen to be partners in life share the stage\, swapping songs and stories. You can expect some collaborating both planned and spontaneous. Not just for lovebirds\, and not just love songs. Just a whole lotta great music. \nAnnie & Rod Capps \nPoignant and playful\, effortless and endearing\, Annie & Rod Capps’ sound meets at the intersection of Americana & Folk. Like many singer/songwriters whose instrumentation is primarily acoustic the word “folk” covers a broad sonic range of genres and influences – what comes out is a rootsy vibe\, touch of twang and soulful groove. \nWhit & Al Hill \nLongtime Ann Arbor singer/songwriters Whit and Al Hill now live in Nashville but cherish every trip back to the town they call home. Whit’s song topics include: traffic\, animals\, old cars\, family physicians\, chicken recipes\, metal detecting\, and love. Al is an award-winning blues keyboardist\, guitarist\, singer\, and producer who has toured the country and the world; his band the Love Butlers was a Michigan favorite. Whit and Al love nothing more than singing together and with old friends for the good people of Ann Arbor and the Detroit area. \nShari Kane & Dave Steele \nShari and Dave throw a four handed acoustic party – street swing\, stomp blues\, mountain twang – music from the holler and swamp. Blues and gospel shouting\, stellar fingerpicking\, deep slide\, banjo\, dobro\, mandolin\, and Appalachian harmony singing. Gary Davis meets Dock Boggs and Muddy Waters and they share a jug. Shari and Dave shows are steeped in folk and blues roots\, blended with Appalachian grind – serving up an intoxicating acoustic brew. Dave’s smoky vocals\, percussive rhythm and innovative lead\, and Shari’s crisp picking style\, rootsy leads\, and stinging slidework are a testament to sounds once heard on the streets of Harlem\, juke joints of Mississippi\, the Carolina hills or the jug bands of Memphis.

DESCRIPTION:Ticket prices on our website reflect all-in pricing for purchases made online or by phone.  This means the price you see includes the ticket price plus MUTO’s ticket processing fee. Tickets may be purchased with no included fees in person at The Ark during box office hours. \nFor 18 years Erin Zindle has been curating an epic annual musical celebration inspired by the themes of the holiday season. Each December\, this event is a warm hearted lift-off to the holidays that has become an indispensable tradition for families in the greater Ann Arbor area and far beyond. Zindle\, The Ragbirds’ songwriter\, lead singer and multi-instrumentalist\, produces this gala event with the intention of joyfully interconnecting the performers and audiences of the Michigan music community. A star-studded “house band” along with a horn section\, string section and backup singers\, lays the foundation for guest vocalists to shine.  \nThis year’s featured artists include avant-garde\, folk-soul cellist Jordan Hamilton\, gutsy garage-rock singer-songwriter Elisabeth Pixley-Fink\, beloved Ann Arbor folk-bender Billy King\, looper\, multi-instrumentalist\, and producer Ki-5\, indie folk-rock singer-songwriter Dylan Charles and incendiary Outlaw-Americana duo Ember & Ash (Erin Zindle and Alex Holycross\, of The Native Howl) \nThe show’s strength is its diversity\, with a wide range of song styles highlighting the incredibly talented instrumentalists and vocalists within the group. Creative arrangements of original songs\, new modern hits\, and traditional carols make this show unlike any other – it’s truly “not your mama’s Christmas show”. Master of Ceremonies comedienne Shelly Smith guides listeners through the experience with laughter and good cheer.  \nTonight’s event will be live-streamed on YouTube for those who cannot attend in-person\, but there’s nothing quite like catching the spark of holiday whimsy and deep-hearted Christmas spirit in the room.

SUMMARY:Jill Jack’s Birthday Bash
DESCRIPTION:Due to a band member recently testing positive for COVID and numbers on the rise\, Jill Jack has made the decision to cancel this show. Refunds will be issued from the point of purchase. \nThe Jill Jack Band wishes everyone a happy and healthy New Year and looks forward to seeing you at next year’s Birthday Bash! \nCOVID-19 FAQ \nJill Jack’s career has spanned decades and taken her around the globe\, performing solo and with her band at sold-out shows\, and opening for world-renowned acts. \nJack grew up in Huntington Woods and has lived in Ferndale for the last 24 years. Her work includes self-written songs in a style she broadly calls Americana\, encompassing elements of folk\, rock\, country\, pop and blues. She plays acoustic and electric guitar\, and describes her stage presence as friendly\, with a focus on storytelling and a dash of humor. \n“By the end of the show\, we will all be great friends\,” Jack said in an email. “As a musician\, I feel we can heal with music. Listening to music is an emotional experience. I want to bring all of those emotions to the surface\, while allowing the audience to be relieved of anxiety from their life. \n“My storytelling is very relatable\,” she added. “While some of my stories can be emotionally deep\, I always add a hint of humor. It helps people feel a connection\, and also that they are not alone in their troubles.” \nSince 1997 she has won 46 awards from the Detroit Music Awards Foundation\, a nonprofit that seeks to recognize Detroit-area artists at the local\, regional and national levels. Her career spans more than 25 years and 12 award-winning CDs\, as well as three new singles during the pandemic. \nShe has toured across the country\, appearing as a headliner at venues and festivals such as SXSW (South by Southwest)\, the Ann Arbor Folk Festival\, the 30A Songwriters Festival\, the WYCD Downtown Hoedown\, the Blissfest Musical Festival\, The Bluebird Cafe and The Living Room in New York City. She has played for audiences as big as 20\,000 people and as intimate as 20. \nShe has also starred in consistently sold-out shows at the historic Ark in Ann Arbor\, and opened for such prominent touring acts as Bob Seger\, John Waite\, Emmy Lou Harris\, Shawn Colvin\, Patty Griffin\, Dan Fogelberg\, Marshall Crenshaw\, Chris Isaak and Loretta Lynn. \nIn addition to live performances\, she has composed soundtracks for documentaries by the Emmy Award-winning director Keith Farnie\, and in 2011 she composed for the million-dollar ad campaign “I’m A Believer” for the city of Detroit. She has composed commercial jingles for such businesses as Thrifty Florist and Little Caesars. \nJack also believes in giving back\, with missionary work in Haiti and community service through the Detroit Children’s Choir\, the Michigan Arthritis Foundation\, Rock for Jobs\, Gilda’s Club Bras for a Cause\, the Girl Scouts of America\, Enchanted Makeovers and Lost Voices — a group that supports young victims of abuse\, neglect\, violence\, addiction and human trafficking\, through the gentle encouragement of song. \nShe said her time in Haiti has been especially meaningful to her. She has been there four times in the last seven years. \n“My first experience was the most intense\, because no one can prepare you for the sights and sounds of Haiti\,” Jack said. “Yes\, there is so much poverty. But Haitians pride themselves on their ingenuity\, their (faith)\, their music\, their art and their dedication to one another. \n“As missionaries\, we went where we were needed\,” she said. “Some days\, we did very hard physical labor\, building churches. This meant carrying buckets of wet concrete\, bricks\, painting\, etc. Other days\, we were assisting at orphanages\, and most recently eye testing and fitting for glasses. Delivering food\, clothing and essentials was daily.” \nBack at home\, Jack helps aspiring artist-entrepreneurs through her career coaching company\, Dream Big\, Inc. She started the company six or seven years ago\, working with upcoming artists to help them focus and reach their creative goals. Dream Big also has half-day workshops available for songwriters to help them craft their music. \n“It just felt like another extension of my work\,” Jack said. “I originally started the company to help young artists and their parents navigate their way through the music business. But it has turned into a much bigger mission.” \nShe is currently working with nonprofits\, established musicians who need encouragement and even senior citizens who want to leave their mark in music. \n“It is never too late to pursue a dream. The only thing that can get in your way is you\,” Jack said. “Each client is different\, with different needs. Some meet with me weekly\, and some biweekly\, monthly or quarterly. I am flexible and do not force. I am here to guide and be a support system.” \nShe also shared a bit of advice for those looking to make a livelihood out of performing. \n“It is not the easiest of career choices\, and maintaining it for 25 years is a labor of love. Perseverance and authenticity is my motto. Be yourself\, no matter what\,” Jack said. “The minute you try to be like someone else\, you have lost your authenticity and you feel it\, your audience feels it. Work from your heart. Not everyone will like you\, but they will respect your hard work and tenacity.” \nWritten by https://www.candgnews.com/reporterbio/andy-kozlowski

Since 2007\, it has become a yearly tradition for The Ragbirds to present this unique family-friendly holiday show called Ebird & Friends. The songs and artists change from year to year\, but the spirit of the event is community\, the soul is creativity and the show is unforgettable. “Ebird” is Erin Zindle\, lead singer\, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist of The Ragbirds. Erin’s budding childhood love of music was sparked at Christmastime. The holidays were the one time each year that the entire Zindle family gathered to make music together\, and that early communal experience of music took deep roots. Fiddles\, horns\, bagpipes\, guitars\, and instruments from all over the world will be sounding their voices together in harmony. Expect to be entertained\, surprised\, cheered\, and warmed by this collaborative artistic performance of new and old songs\, including Ragbirds’ original songs inspired by the holiday. This show has become a phenomenon and it shows no signs of slowing down.
