    Paul Thorn

    Opener: Jared Deck

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

    When it comes to songwriting, less is more, and simplicity is strength. Just ask Paul Thorn, who’s spent three decades turning soulful grooves and small syllables into songs that pack a big wallop. Maybe he learned the power of minimalism from his years as a pro boxer; maybe it just comes naturally. But whether he’s targeting heads, hearts, hips or the occasional funny bone, he somehow manages to condense large nuggets of wisdom into tight little mantras, the kind embroiderers stitched onto pillows before internet memes existed.

    Richard Shindell

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

    Richard Shindell lives as both an immigrant and emigrant, crossing thresholds that inform his illumination of the human experience through narrative song. Shindell has inhabited a Zen Buddhist monastery and busked in the streets of Paris. Originally from New York, now living in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Shindell is a writer whose songs paint pictures, tell stories, juxtapose ideas and images, inhabit characters, vividly evoking entire worlds along the way and expanding our sense of just what it is a song may be.

    Lucius

    Special Guest: Victoria Canal

    The Majestic Theatre 4140 Woodward Ave., Detroit, Michigan, United States

    Acclaimed indie band Lucius has been turning heads since the start thanks to their irrepressibly catchy songs, explosive harmonies, and bold aesthetic. Formed by Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig, the Los Angeles group got rolling with their 2013 debut album Wildewoman. Rolling Stone hailed the record for "an updated ’60s girl-group sound at once fresh and thrilling". Lucius shifted towards a folk rock sound with 2016’s Good Grief and returned to the studio again in 2022 with the dance-ready collection Second Nature, which features “Next to Normal”, one of NPR Music’s top songs of the year and “Dance Around It” the pulsing song with Sheryl Crow and Brandi Carlile. Lucius releases their new self titled album on May 2.
