Shows & Events

The Yellow Room is the "brilliantly yellow" living room of Tamulevich's house on Ann Arbor's Old West Side, where the gang members meet monthly for musical brainstorming and mutual critique. There are eight members of the gang, most or all of whom are on hand for any given show: Annie Capps, Kitty Donohoe, Jan Krist, Michael Hough, David Tamulevich, David Barrett, Jim Bizer, and Matt Watroba. Each an accomplished songwriter and performer in their own right, they create a unique atmosphere of respect and support, friendship and generosity finding new and unexpected ways to explore beyond their previous personal boundaries.

Schmaltz is a modern klezmer band based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. With a unique sound that hinges on craftily blended genres, their music provides a refreshing perspective on klezmer music, infusing traditional Jewish music with contemporary flavor by mixing in elements of jazz, balkan, funk, latin, and polka. Warren & Flick creates music that feels both grounded and adventurous—rooted in tradition yet unafraid to explore. With Jacob Warren on double bass and tenor bass, and Grant Flick on violin, tenor guitar, and nyckelharpa, the duo crafts a compelling sound that blends original composition and improvisation with classical, jazz, and folk traditions.

That’s no typo! Twin brothers, San and Laz Slomovits will celebrate their 78th birthdays, and the beginning of the 54th year of their career, with a concert of songs and instrumentals from each of those decades and many others; traditional and 60s folk, pop songs from the 30s thru the 80s, instrumental tunes from the British Isles and Eastern Europe, and San and Laz's own songs and poetry settings, accompanying themselves on guitars, violins, mandolin, pennywhistle, bones and more. They'll be joined by San’s daughter Emily on vocals and violin, Laz’s partner Jennifer Burd on bowed psaltery, and their long-time “Good Mischief Band” members Eric Fithian on bass, and Mike Morrison on drums.
