    Peter Bradley Adams

    Peter Bradley Adams

    Special Guest: Robby Hecht

    The Ark 316 S. Main, Ann Arbor, MI, United States

    Peter Bradley Adams' brand of Americana nestles his often delicate, always heartfelt voice in the warm embrace of gentle guitar, tasteful dobro, subtle banjo, supportive bass, and unhurried percussion. The result is a sonic scape that, in turn, wraps itself around the listener like a soft blanket on a cold day. With his latest album, A Face Like Mine, Adams further refines the simple musical sophistication that has become his trademark.

    The Ark 316 S. Main, Ann Arbor, MI, United States

    The youngest of 14 children, Iris DeMent was born in Paragould, Arkansas, and moved to California with her devoutly religious family when she was three. As a teenager she absorbed the country music of Loretta Lynn, Merle Haggard, and Johnny Cash, as well as the folk classics of Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell. Her 1992 debut album, "Infamous Angel," distilled these influences into a poetic yet down-to-earth songwriting style. With a heartfelt, homespun voice that listeners recognize instantly, Iris released some of the most powerful roots albums of the 1990s with the beautifully sparse "My Life" and the harder-edged "The Way I Should." Her songs are her way of healing our broken inner and outer spaces.
