    • Mark Braun

    Mr. B’s 28th Annual Blues and Boogie Piano Celebration

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

    Once a year, Mark "Mr. B" Braun, Ann Arbor's own wizard of blues and boogie piano music, comes together with other top piano players from around southeastern Michigan and beyond. Call it a piano summit, or perhaps a meeting of the minds! Audiences in southeastern Michigan tend to think of Mr. B as a local hero, but in fact he's well known among fans and practitioners of blues and jazz piano music all over the country and around the world. This year's celebration features Al Hill, Rick Roe, and a surprise special guest!

    The Po' Ramblin' Boys

    The Po’ Ramblin’ Boys

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

    There’s something about the music of The Po’ Ramblin’ Boys that cuts right through the noise of the world and speaks plainly to the soul. Formed in the Smoky Mountains, The Po’ Ramblin’ Boys are at once exactly what you would expect and not at all what you would expect from a tattooed East Tennessee Bluegrass outfit. No strangers to hard work, the boys are as much at home riding in their 1965 GM Tour bus as they are crawling underneath to fix it when it needs maintenance. But they take pride in being ambassadors of their genre, and the group has brought their music from rural bluegrass festival stages to the rock clubs of Europe, with stunning results.

    Caleb Caudle
    Artist Spotlight Series

    Caleb Caudle & The Sweet Critters

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

    Just as the marbled salamanders emerge from under damp logs and leaves, the mushrooms—smooth, pearlescent ones and spongy morels—turn on like night lights glowing in the dark, and the long-horned beetles and regal moths begin buzzing. The fiddlehead ferns and trout lilies curl inward, a copperhead slowly swerves, and a fox steps into the moonlight looking for prey. It is here, in that restless middle of the night, under cover of darkness, where Caleb Caudle’s sixth studio LP Sweet Critters is nestled.

    Pierre Bensusan

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

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

    Equal parts classic songwriter and modern-day storyteller, Gabe Lee has built his own bridge between country, folk and rock. Storytelling has been an anchor of Lee's music since the very beginning. 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. King Margo is a magnetic alt-country/Americana act based in Nashville. The heart of the group is duo Lucciana Costa and Rachel Coats, though they often bring their friends along for a full band experience.
