SUMMARY:Lucy Wainwright Roche
DESCRIPTION:Ticket prices on our website reflect all-in pricing for purchases made online or by phone.  This means the price you see includes the ticket price plus MUTO’s ticket processing fee. Tickets may be purchased with no included fees in person at The Ark during box office hours. \nThose familiar with Lucy Wainwright Roche are aware of her bell tone voice\, her unshakable melodies\, and her knack for wise\, wry lyrics that clench the heart. It’s no surprise that Wainwright Roche is the daughter of Suzzy Roche (The Roches) and Loudon Wainwright III\, and half sibling to Rufus and Martha Wainwright. She grew up on the road\, steeped in music.​ \nLucy has built her own audience as a touring singer/songwriter and recording artist\, with critically acclaimed releases: Eight Songs\, Eight More\, Lucy\, There’s a Last Time for Everything and Little Beast. Other recordings include a collaboration with her sister Martha Wainwright: Songs In the Dark\, a collection of lullabies\, and three duet recordings with her mother Suzzy Roche: Fairytale and Myth (winner of Vox Pop Independent Music Awards)\, Mud and Apples\, and I Can Still Hear You. \nArmed with a guitar\, a deadpan sense of humor\, killer songs\, and a voice that makes tough guys cry\, she’s built a solid following across the US and Europe. She has often opened shows for such luminaries as The Indigo Girls (and she sings in their band)\, Mary Chapin Carpenter\, and Neko Case\, and she’s one of a few who can step out alone in front of a thousand strangers and play an entire set to a rapt audience.

DESCRIPTION:Ticket prices on our website reflect all-in pricing for purchases made online or by phone.  This means the price you see includes the ticket price plus MUTO’s ticket processing fee. Tickets may be purchased with no included fees in person at The Ark during box office hours. \nDavid 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. \nDavid continues to find success\, not only for himself\, but also as a writer for other artists and touring throughout the world. In April 2022\, David released his latest single\, “TABOS” (This’ll All Be Over Soon). The single’s release coincided with his return to the American Idol® stage to perform for their special 20th-anniversary reunion show. In July 2024\, David released his latest single\, “Dead Weight” co-written with long-time collaborator\, Andy Skib to coincide with his summer tour. \nDavid’s 2026 VIP Experience includes:  \n\nOne GA ticket \nInvitation to Q&A session\nVIP laminate\, signed by David\nFirst access merch shopping and 20% off voucher redeemable during the VIP session only\nEarly entry into the venue

SUMMARY:Kaki King
DESCRIPTION:Ticket prices on our website reflect all-in pricing for purchases made online or by phone.  This means the price you see includes the ticket price plus MUTO’s ticket processing fee. Tickets may be purchased with no included fees in person at The Ark during box office hours. \nDubbed by Rolling Stone as “a genre unto herself\,” Brooklyn\, NY-based Kaki King has proven to be just that.  Her career has taken her all over the world\, sharing stages with Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters\, contributing music to award-winning films (Sean Penn’s Into The Wild)\, and performing at the London Jazz Festival and the Paris Les Femmes s’en Melent.   \nHer explorations into the guitar and multimedia have led to the creation of groundbreaking work such as The Neck Is A Bridge To The Body\, Modern Yesterdays\, and a new multi-media musical production for children called BUGS. Kaki continues to create\, perform\, and lend her musical voice to the forefront of contemporary music\, as shown on her 2025 EP\, Tutto Passa\, and recent album\, SEI\, the soundtrack to a unique performance piece where guitarists become dancers\, coordinating their whole bodies to perform the rigors of both choreography and composition.   \nEndorsed by Ovation Guitars\, Kaki released the EP Stop Sometime last August and remains a force on the music scene\, touring Italy and Germany in the fall and performing both solo and BUGS shows throughout parts of the United States into 2026\, while also and scheduling yet another EP for release on February 13.

SUMMARY:Men at Work\, Toad the Wet Sprocket\, & Shonen Knife
DESCRIPTION:Men At Work were born in Melbourne\, Australia in the middle of 1979. The band went on to become a globally successful Grammy winning\, multi-platinum selling act. The original band however came apart relatively quickly and had disintegrated by 1985. Colin Hay and Greg Ham responded to demand and toured many parts of the world as Men At Work from 1996 into the 2000’s. Sadly\, Greg Ham passed away in 2012. Colin Hay has developed a solo career over the last 35 years\, writing\, recording\, and touring extensively throughout the world as a solo artist. He is presently part of Ringo Starr’s All Starr Band. Since 2019\, he has also toured and played under the Men At Work banner with his LA based group of musicians\, where he plays an exclusively Men At Work set\, including all the hits and dearly loved songs which clearly have stood the test of time. \nAny music fan who grew up in the ‘90s\, before the rise of streaming platforms\, will tell you that when a record store clerk made a music recommendation\, you took it seriously. Often well-studied music nerds\, these unsung tastemakers had their finger on the pulse of lesser-known\, excellent bands. So it speaks volumes that many of Toad the Wet Sprocket’s earliest champions were record store clerks who put the Santa Barbara quartet’s early albums into unsuspecting listeners’ hands\, convincing them to overlook their unusual band name and give them a shot.   \nAnd that’s all it took. Lead singer Glen Phillips’ heartfelt\, introspective lyrics expressed in his deep\, buttery croon backed by the earnest instrumentation\, catchy melodies and vocal harmonies of guitarist Todd Nichols\, bassist Dean Dinning and drummer Randy Guss had fans hooked from the outset. \nToad’s third full-length album\, Fear\, went platinum after its 1991 release and spawned hits “All I Want” and “Walk on the Ocean\,” both of which made it to the top 20 of Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. And let’s not forget all the quintessential ‘90s shows and movies that featured Toad songs including Buffy the Vampire Slayer\, Dawson’s Creek\, I Know What You Did Last Summer\, Empire Records\, and the platinum-selling Friends soundtrack (“Good Intentions”). Toad released Dulcinea in 1994\, giving the band its second platinum album in a row. Recorded almost entirely live in a studio in the woods in Marin County in a room lit by hundreds of candles\, the album features fan favorites “Fall Down” and “Windmills.” The band took a break in the late ‘90s\, and the members left to pursue solo projects. They reunited in 2006\, maintaining the original lineup for the next 15 years until drummer Randy Guss departed in 2020 due to health concerns. After reuniting\, the band released New Constellation in 2013. Critics praised it for being an evolution for the band while still maintaining their signature sound and songcraft. \nEven with everything that’s changed over the last few decades\, one of the band’s main drivers has remained the same since they first started performing together in high school: bringing people together to experience music as a binding force and to help them feel like they belong. \nSince their pure DIY beginnings in 1981\, Osaka\, Japan’s Shonen Knife have been building a faithful following of music enthusiasts and the alternative rock elite. Their relentless journey secured the band’s place as one of the pioneer ambassadors of Japanese rock music and culture on the international stage.

SUMMARY:South For Winter
DESCRIPTION:Ticket prices on our website reflect all-in pricing for purchases made online or by phone.  This means the price you see includes the ticket price plus MUTO’s ticket processing fee. Tickets may be purchased with no included fees in person at The Ark during box office hours. \nWith a blend of dreamy acoustic duets\, foot-stomping folk and bluesy murder ballads\, New Zealand-formed and Nashville-based South for Winter’s sound is as eclectic as their origins. The act is composed of New Zealander Nick Stone and Coloradan Dani Cichon\, and together the two multi-instrumentalists and songwriters combine ethereal harmonies\, poetic lyricism\, percussive finger-style guitar\, bluesy resonator\, suitcase stomp\, and driving mandolin into a genre-bending sound described by American Songwriter as “impeccable”. South for Winter has received nominations such as Finalist for “Best Group/Duo” in the 2023 International Acoustic Music Awards and Semi-Finalist in the 2023 and 2022 International Songwriting Competition. Their music has been praised by sites such as American Songwriter (“laden with delicate harmonies\, intricate guitar-work\, and earthy vocals… impeccable sound”)\, No Depression (“must-see artist”)\, and AmericanaUK (“an ethereal\, dreamy\, journey…a journey well-worth taking”).

SUMMARY:Wild Child
DESCRIPTION:Wild Child is the Austin-born songwriting partnership of Kelsey Wilson and Alexander Beggins\, a duo whose chemistry has powered more than a decade of acclaimed indie-folk releases and spirited live shows. What began as a spontaneous creative spark in the back of a tour van evolved into one of Austin’s most beloved bands\, known for warm harmonies\, candid storytelling\, and an ever-evolving blend of folk\, pop\, and soulful brass-driven arrangements. After years of near-constant touring and the launch of their individual projects – Wilson’s Motown-leaning Sir Woman and Beggins’ dream-pop alter ego CoCo Zandi – the pair stepped back to explore new sounds and space\, unsure when or how Wild Child might return. \nThat return arrived in an unexpected moment of stillness. When the world shut down and stages went dark\, Wilson and Beggins found themselves back in a room together\, preparing for online performances\, rediscovering the spark that shaped their earliest songs. Within minutes\, new material poured out – an organic reminder of the ease and honesty that has always defined their collaboration. The band reunited with longtime musical family and stepped into the studio with the same sense of openness and urgency that fueled their earliest recordings\, capturing raw\, unvarnished performances that leaned into emotion over perfection. \nWild Child’s creative community has always been central to their story – whether weathering a Texas ice storm together\, writing by candlelight when power went out\, or inviting new voices into their creative circle. Over the years\, the band has continued to expand its sonic world while staying grounded in heartfelt songwriting and the distinct vocal interplay that first drew fans in. Their music reflects resilience\, connection\, and the messy joy of making something together when it matters most. \nToday\, Wild Child is following their curiosity wherever it leads: building out their label imprint Reba’s Ranch Records and diving into Wild Child for Kids\, a project that lets them explore the same heart and imagination of their music through a family-friendly lens. With an ever-growing family of collaborators and a renewed commitment to making music on their own terms\, the band remains a defining voice in the vibrant indie-folk musical landscape\, continually finding new ways to surprise themselves and the listeners who have followed them from the beginning.

SUMMARY:East Nash Grass
DESCRIPTION:Ticket prices on our website reflect all-in pricing for purchases made online or by phone.  This means the price you see includes the ticket price plus MUTO’s ticket processing fee. Tickets may be purchased with no included fees in person at The Ark during box office hours. \nHow did East Nash Grass follow up their 2024 International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) award for Best New Artist? By earning a nomination for Entertainer of the Year\, IBMA’s highest honor\, in 2025\, and celebrating fiddler Maddie Denton’s win as Fiddler of the Year. In short\, East Nash Grass have quickly established themselves as the fresh new face of Nashville’s storied bluegrass tradition\, a supergroup of rising stars: Grand Master Fiddle champion Denton is joined by banjo player Cory Walker (banjo player on the five-time nominated “Carter & Cleveland” album this year\, among numerous accolades)\, 2022 IBMA Momentum Mandolin Player of the Year Harry Clark\, and charismatic frontman James Kee. This is an all-star band that harkens back to the sort of talent collected in the original Blue Grass Boys and a powerhouse leader of the next generation in bluegrass excellence. \nRolling Stone had them among the “best of what we saw” at RockyGrass in 2025\, praising their “rowdy set of high-octane bluegrass numbers\,” and noting\, “The group itself is a rapidly-rising force on the national touring scene.” \nAnd “rowdy” is right. They are far more than just a group of impressive instrumental technicians\, building on night after night of three-set gigs on Nashville’s East Side\, playing tiny stages for the love of it between tours backing bigger acts. It’s a hard-forged bond that translates into an infectious on-stage energy that audiences can’t seem to get enough of. \nWith their new release\, “All God’s Children” (Mountain Fever\, August 22\, 2025)\, they show a depth and feel\, too\, that goes well beyond the traditional bluegrass fair\, with nods to Gypsy jazz and East Village folk\, and eye toward moving bluegrass forward and keeping it from being too mired in the past. If East Nash Grass isn’t the future of the genre it’s only because they’re already among its leading lights.

SUMMARY:Girl Named Tom
DESCRIPTION:Ticket prices on our website reflect all-in pricing for purchases made online or by phone.  This means the price you see includes the ticket price plus MUTO’s ticket processing fee. Tickets may be purchased with no included fees in person at The Ark during box office hours. \nFrom a small-town minivan to sold-out theaters\, Girl Named Tom’s rise has been nothing short of remarkable. Siblings Bekah\, Caleb\, and Joshua Liechty grew up making music together but officially formed their band in 2019\, hitting the road with a self-funded tour and their debut EP\, Another World. Their tight harmonies and heartfelt songwriting captivated audiences\, leading them to make history as the first group to win The Voice.  \nSince then\, the trio has sold over 100\,000 tickets across 40 states\, headlined nationwide tours\, and performed at the Grand Ole Opry\, the Indianapolis 500\, and on The Ellen Show. They’ve shared the stage with the Nashville Symphony Orchestra\, Kelsea Ballerini\, Lady A\, and Pentatonix\, but their signature sound remains unmistakably their own—fusing folk\, pop\, and sibling magic to create music that moves the soul.  \nIn April 2026\, Girl Named Tom will hit the road on a nationwide tour promoting their new album\, Dust to Dust. The momentum will keep rolling with a performance on NBC’s The Voice in early April\, alongside an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show shortly thereafter.

Nine years after meeting in high school choir class in Ann Arbor\, Mary Collins and Kaye Hamada accidentally moved two blocks away from each other in Brooklyn and realized that the songwriting partners they’d been looking for had been one text away all along. One song led to another\, and Moonmill came to be! Through sophisticated guitar lines and rich\, crystal clear vocal harmonies\, Moonmill blends classic Simon & Garfunkel-esque folk sensibilities with contemporary singer/songwriter confessional lyricism and ethereal pop production elements\, creating songs that feel like entire worlds listeners can escape to.

SUMMARY:Bill Kirchen
DESCRIPTION:Ticket prices on our website reflect all-in pricing for purchases made online or by phone.  This means the price you see includes the ticket price plus MUTO’s ticket processing fee. Tickets may be purchased with no included fees in person at The Ark during box office hours. \nBill apparently got off his butt and recorded a bunch of new songs. Given that Ann Arbor is his ancestral home\, and the very place he and some like-minded souls formed Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen\, Bill has promised not to wear you out with too much inscrutable new material. He has assured us that he’ll also bring some reminiscences with a good selection of songs from his checkered past. And as we’ve never been able to get him out of here without him launching into a few Dylan songs\, we’ll be on guard for that as well. What else? Oh yes\, he did say he had some home town Stories That Can Finally Be Told\, but offered no assurances that he will remember them. He also said\, tell ‘em I’m bringing my Texas band Rick Richards and Jack Saunders for the full Honky-Tonk Rock’n’Roll  experience\, and that I’m quite a bit jollier than that picture would indicate.  \nGrammy nominated guitarist\, singer and songwriter Bill Kirchen is one of the fortunate few who can step on any stage\, play those trademark licks which drove the seminal Commander Cody classic Hot Rod Lincoln into the Top Ten nationwide\, and elicit instant recognition. Named a “Titan of the Telecaster” by Guitar Player Magazine\, he celebrates a musical tradition that embraces rock ‘n’ roll\, blues and bluegrass\, Texas Western swing and California honkytonk. Nick Lowe describes Bill as “… a devastating culmination of the elegant and funky… a really sensational musician\, with enormous depth.” Justly famous for his indelible Telecaster sound\, Bill Kirchen has been everywhere over the span of a 50-plus-year career: he was a founding member of the legendary Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen; he released a dozen critically acclaimed solo albums; he toured internationally with Nick Lowe and has performed or recorded with Doug Sahm\, Gene Vincent\, Elvis Costello\, Dan Hicks\, Emmylou Harris\, Linda Ronstadt \,Bruce Hornsby and Link Wray.

SUMMARY:North Ingalls and Ananda Murari
DESCRIPTION:Ticket prices on our website reflect all-in pricing for purchases made online or by phone.  This means the price you see includes the ticket price plus MUTO’s ticket processing fee. Tickets may be purchased with no included fees in person at The Ark during box office hours. \nNorth Ingalls is a four-piece indie folk-groove sound. All members of North Ingalls hail from the University of Michigan (Go Blue!) and met through the School of Music. \nThe members of North Ingalls enjoy blending various genres to fuel their unique sound. With folk at the forefront\, it is mixed in with jazz\, R&B\, and rock to create the music you hear from them today. They are constantly expanding their ears\, finding new music and new sounds to draw inspiration from to feed their passion. \nThe theme of love is at the heart of their music\, with tunes that touch upon the ups and downs of relationships\, friendships\, and kinships. The band has gained a devoted following for its deeply honest and detailed narrative lyrics that explore the raw feelings and experiences that arise between two connected hearts. Brought to life by emotionally raw vocals and a rich\, full-bodied sound\, North Ingalls’ original music strikes a compelling chord with every generation. \nAnanda Murari is a Southeast Michigan artist creating eclectic devotional folk shaped by a decade of monastic living. After spending years immersed in spiritual study and simple living\, he returned to songwriting with a renewed sense of wonder—carrying the quiet clarity of the forest\, the humility of service\, and the soft ache of becoming human again. \nDrawing from folk\, jazz\, and Indian tribal traditions\, Ananda’s music blends storytelling\, fables\, and philosophical reflections into a sound that feels both earthy and transcendent. His songs explore life’s intimate truths—the winding road of love\, the struggle of the heart\, the slow work of self-discovery\, and the strange beauty in being broken open. \nWith roots in devotional tradition and a voice shaped by forests\, philosophy\, and lived experience\, Ananda crafts folk music meant for seekers—songs for anyone walking the long road home.

DESCRIPTION:Ticket prices on our website reflect all-in pricing for purchases made online or by phone.  This means the price you see includes the ticket price plus MUTO’s ticket processing fee. Tickets may be purchased with no included fees in person at The Ark during box office hours. \nAs global ambassadors of Irish heritage and storytelling\, The High Kings have consistently brought  the timeless tradition of folk music to audiences worldwide\, earning them chart-topping success and widespread acclaim. With their signature blend of classic tradition and modern edge\, The Rocky Road Tour promises to be a vibrant showcase of Irish culture\, energy\, and musicality.  \nFollowing a record-breaking 2024 – including a sold-out world tour\, a feature on Disney’s critically acclaimed Only Murders in The Building\, and over 5 million weekly streams – the band are showing no signs of slowing down. Their momentum continued in 2025 with a string of sold-out U.S. tour dates. \nBut it was their inclusion on the soundtrack of Sinners\, starring Michael B. Jordan and directed by Ryan Coogler\, that marked a defining moment in their global recognition. The film’s soundtrack\, already topping international streaming charts\, was curated by Oscar- and Grammy-winning composer Ludwig Göransson\, a long-time admirer of The High Kings’ distinctive vocal blend and musicianship. After attending their sold-out show at The Troubadour in Los Angeles earlier this year\, Göransson selected two tracks—“The Rocky Road to Dublin” and “Go Lassie Go”—to feature prominently in the film’s score. \nThe Rocky Road Tour 2026 will build on this global success\, offering audiences a high-energy live show that reinforces The High Kings’ place at the forefront of Irish folk. With a renewed focus on storytelling\, musicianship\, and connection\, the tour reflects the group’s ongoing commitment to honouring Ireland’s folk legacy while pushing creative boundaries.

SUMMARY:Fink
DESCRIPTION:The City Is Coming to Erase It All is Fink’s ninth studio album\, following 2024’s Beauty In Your Wake. Recorded in Zennor\, Cornwall\, the album was made with a strict era-specific approach. Imagining a record Michael Chapman might have made\, right down to the guitar strings. Grammy-winning producer Sam Okell helped guide the process: “If it didn’t exist in 1974\, you’re not allowed to use it.” \nBut this is nowstalgia\, not nostalgia. “I want something new\, but with the same ethos\,” singer Fin Greenall explains. There’s a parallel between the restless 18-year-olds Fink once were and the autumn-aged family men they are now. Touring remains a compulsion as much as a joy\, despite having played every major European city countless times. “The need to play your new material is so overwhelming that it trumps all the comforts and trinkets.” \nCity is a product of this hunger for discovery\, and idolatry of the album as a form – like we had in 1974. City’s cover mirrors its interior\, the first song is the greeting\, the instrumental closer the conclusion. It’s a story. It’s a record for people who\, like its creators\, are curious. People who happily face a little cold for music\, who light a crackling fire back home\, who sit with these songs until they’re ready to chase after their own blue sky.

DESCRIPTION:Ticket prices on our website reflect all-in pricing for purchases made online or by phone.  This means the price you see includes the ticket price plus MUTO’s ticket processing fee. Tickets may be purchased with no included fees in person at The Ark during box office hours. \nBritish-American trio Raynes formed when Mat Charley and Joe Berger\, both born and raised in North Dakota\, came across a video of UK native Mark Race on Instagram and fell in love—first with his face\, then with his voice. After a few messages and phone calls\, Mark was on a plane to the US to start a band (a few months later\, he had the flight number tattooed on his arm). \nSince then\, Raynes has signed with Sony Music Publishing and released six singles and four EPs\, drawing hundreds of thousands of monthly listeners and tens of millions of streams and earning press in Billboard and People. They’ve performed at BottleRock Festival and in clubs\, concert halls\, and amphitheaters across the US and the UK\, developing a reputation as a high-energy live act. \nIn 2025\, Raynes’ rendition of “I Want You to Want Me” was featured in an episode of Love Is Blind on Netflix.  \nKnown for their intricate vocal harmonies and unique instrumentation as well as their poetic lyrics\, Raynes has yet to come up with a good answer as to what genre their music falls under. With all three members coming from different musical backgrounds\, the boys combine their diverse influences to form a group that draws inspiration from around the globe\, incorporating elements of folk\, rock\, and chamber pop with Celtic and world music to create a wholly original—and difficult to categorize—sound.

Tickets may be purchased with no included fees in person at The Ark during box office hours. \nRodney Crowell is the songwriter’s songwriter and an icon among giants. Native Texan\, Crowell is a multi-Grammy Award-winning troubadour with fifteen number one hits. Over the course of his career\, Crowell has gracefully blended his own mainstream success as an artist with a prolific catalog of songs cut by the likes of Emmylou Harris\, Johnny Cash\, Waylon Jennings\, Keith Urban and more\, making him a master among his peers.  \nWith more than 40 years of American roots music under his belt\, Crowell has also been cited as the architect of Americana music\, extending his genre reach\, but owing to the distinctly universal\, literary quality of his writing\, he has also penned beloved songs for artists as diverse as Bob Seger\, Etta James\, the Grateful Dead\, John Denver\, Jimmy Buffett and countless others. \nA member of the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame\, Crowell is also the author of the acclaimed memoir\, Chinaberry Sidewalks\, and teamed up with New York Times best-selling author Mary Karr for Kin: Songs by Mary Karr & Rodney Crowell in 2012\, with Karr saying of her collaborator\, “Like Hank Williams or Townes Van Zandt or Miss Lucinda\, he writes and croons with a poet’s economy and a well digger’s deep heart.” Crowell was honored with ASCAP’s prestigious Founder’s Award in 2017\, and that same year released the album Close Ties\, which spawned another Grammy nomination for “It Ain’t Over Yet” with Rosanne Cash and John Paul White in the category of Best Americana Song. 2019’s Texas was a collection of Lone Star-centric collaborations with Ringo Starr\, Willie Nelson\, Ronnie Dunn\, Steve Earle and more\, and Crowell’s most recent album release is the 2021 set\, Triage.  \nCrowell came up in Nashville’s songwriting heyday alongside Guy Clark\, Townes Van Zandt\, and Steve Earle and has continued that legacy of camaraderie and kinship with his peers well into the iconic era of his career. As many say – “your favorite song was probably written by Rodney Crowell.” Crowell has four daughters and lives with his wife and dog in Tennessee. He writes every day and loves tending to his garden.

SUMMARY:The Bros. Landreth: Tumbling Wild Tour 2026
DESCRIPTION:Ticket prices on our website reflect all-in pricing for purchases made online or by phone.  This means the price you see includes the ticket price plus MUTO’s ticket processing fee. Tickets may be purchased with no included fees in person at The Ark during box office hours. \nThe Bros. Landreth are two-time JUNO Award winners from Winnipeg\, known for their blend of guitar-driven\, soulful\, blood harmony roots music. The band\, the core of which consists of brothers Dave and Joey Landreth\, has earned critical acclaim and a dedicated audience for their heartfelt songs\, inventive musicianship\, and powerful performances. From their early days attending their father’s gigs as babies (“Mom would tuck us into a bassinet and slide us under the bar tables\,” says Dave)\, the brothers have spent a lifetime touring rock clubs\, theatres\, and music festivals across North America\, the UK\, Europe\, and Australia\, including stand-out performances at Byron Bay Blues Festival in Australia and Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival in Los Angeles. In 2023\, a banner year for the band\, Joey and Dave became Grammy-winning songwriters when Bonnie Raitt’s cover of their song\, Made Up Mind (from their first album\, Let it Lie)\, earned the Grammy for Americana Performance of the Year. The recognition was a fitting nod from one of their musical heroes\, as their own music draws inspiration from the well-worn records of their childhood — Bonnie Raitt’s blues\, Little Feat’s funky country-rock\, Ry Cooder’s eclectic instrumentals\, Lyle Lovett’s twangy traditionalism — culminating in a sound that salutes the past while planting its flag firmly in the present. \nDrawing on the energy of their recent live shows and a newfound sense of creative purpose\, The Bros. Landreth returned to the studio for their fourth full-length album\, Dog Ear. This record captures the spontaneous and collaborative spirit of their touring band\, which includes drummer Roman Clarke and producer Murray Pulver\, and marks a new\, more effortless approach to songwriting. The band describes the album as a deeply personal and emotionally resonant work\, exploring themes of family and the quest for stability amidst the itinerant life of a touring musician\, and says it’s “really about trying to figure out what it means to be a consistent force in the lives of the people you care about.” With songs like the title track written for their children\, the album captures a raw and focused energy in the studio\, featuring a handful of magical first takes and special collaborations with pop vocalist Begonia\, keyboardist Glenn Patscha\, and a powerful guest vocal performance from their longtime hero\, Bonnie Raitt\, who appears on two tracks (Knuckles\, Half Moon Eyes).
