    • Mason Jennings

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

    "I love song craft," says Mason Jennings, a longtime folksinger who has spent over two decades honing his craft both on stage and in the studio. "A song is like a boat on the water, and you're trying to make it float with as few pieces as possible. If you do it right, a song can be very healing." For Jennings, songwriting has always been about creating a personal connection, both with his audience and with himself. Over the years, he’s become known for his unpretentious, emotive approach to folk music, combining introspective lyrics with acoustic melodies.

    This Is The Kit

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

    In today's fast-paced mid-apocalyptic world it can feel like a waste of time to speak about time at all. Why dwell on the past when we could just live in the present because the future won't shut up about how bad it's going to be? But with This is the Kit aka Kate Stables (songwriter / banjo strummer / pinhole camera lover / Winchester UK born Paris dweller), we're going to have to give time just a modicum of consideration. Because not only is Kate still here and making albums of cataclysmic honesty and welcoming tonal embraces, they are continuing to grow, which is probably the only smart way to move forward through time.
