Pierre Bensusan

Pierre Bensusan – One Guitar, One Voice – 50th Anniversary

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

If World Music means the fusion of traditional, contemporary, jazz, classical and pop music, then Bensusan is one of the most eloquent World Music musicians of our time. A pianist in his beginnings then self-taught on the guitar, the originality of his style makes him one of today’s greatest guitarists and composers for the instrument. Also called “The Prince of DADGAD”, the Rose d'Or of the Montreux Festival, elected Best Guitarist of World Music by the readers of Guitar Player Magazine!

David Cook

David Cook

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

David Cook (and yes, the same David Cook who launched into stardom following his American Idol Season Seven win – breaking several Billboard chart records when 14 of his songs debuted on the Hot Digital Songs chart and 11 of his songs debuted on the Hot 100) certainly knows his way around a good song. His first album, “Analog Heart,” came out pre-Idol, and his last album, “Digital Vein,” nicely bookended that chapter of Cook's career, a chapter during which he sold more than two million albums (including his platinum-certified eponymous album) and, collectively, more than five million tracks (including two platinum-certified singles) worldwide.

Gibson Brothers

The Gibson Brothers

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

There’s a reason why Ricky Skaggs pulled Eric and Leigh Gibson off the stage at the Ryman two decades ago and offered to produce their debut record. The same thing that led David Ferguson and Grammy Award winning producer and Black Keys frontman Dan Auerbach to co-write and produce their 14th album “Mockingbird” (2018) and release it on his own label Easy Eye Sound alongside cultural icons such as Hank Williams Jr. and Dr. John: The Gibson Brothers are the real deal.

Gabe Lee and King Margo

Gabe Lee // King Margo

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

Raised by Taiwanese parents in Nashville, TN, he left home during his teenage years and headed to Indiana, where he obtained college degrees in literature and journalism.

The heart of the group is duo Lucciana Costa and Rachel Coats, though they often bring their friends along for a full band experience.

Masonic Temple Theatre 500 Temple St, Detroit, MI, United States

In the making of their new album Good Together, the band reinforced the deep sense of purpose behind their output.
