SUMMARY:Susan Werner
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. \nOver the course of her twenty five year career\, Susan Werner has earned a reputation as “one of the most innovative songwriters working today” (Chicago Tribune). With formidable chops on guitar (she began playing at age 5) and piano (she was a guest on Marian McPartland’s Piano Jazz)\, along with a graduate degree in voice performance\, her shows are a one-woman master class in musicianship. Although best known as an acoustic songwriter that came up through coffeehouses and folk festivals\, the Chicago-based artist has written songs in the style of Gershwin and Cole Porter (I Can’t Be New\, 2004)\, gospel music (The Gospel Truth\, 2007)\, traditional Cuban “son” (An American In Havana\, 2016)\, and New Orleans junk piano (NOLA\, 2019). In 2014 she composed the music and lyrics to the musical theater score Bull Durham\, The Musical (MGM). Her songs have been recorded by Tom Jones\, Michael Feinstein\, and Shemekia Copeland\, and her latest recording of originals\, The Birds of Florida\, took flight in 2022.

SUMMARY:Alash
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. \nAlash are masters of traditional Tuvan instruments as well as the ancient art of throat singing\, a remarkable technique for singing multiple pitches at the same time. Believing that traditional music must constantly evolve\, the musicians subtly infuse their songs with western elements\, creating their own unique style that is fresh and new\, yet true to their Tuvan musical heritage. \nAlash first toured the U.S. under the sponsorship of the OpenWorld Leadership program of the Library of Congress and the National Endowment for the Arts. Since then they have returned many times\, to the delight of American audiences. The Washington Post described their music as “utterly stunning\,” quipping that after the performance“audience members picked their jaws up off the floor.” \nAlash enjoys collaborating with musicians of all stripes. Since their early partnership with the legendary Sun Ra Arkestra\, they have joined forces with musicians across the spectrum—from country to classical to jazz to beatboxing. Alash appeared as guest artists on Béla Fleck & the Flecktones’ Grammy-winning holiday CD Jingle All the Way (2008). They joined Chicago’s innovative Fifth House Ensemble in a groundbreaking concert series called Sonic Meditations\, and later were part of a “global jam band” which recorded the soundtrack for the video game The Pathless. Most recently\, Bady-Dorzhu Ondar teamed up with beatboxer Shodekeh in a live recording of original Tuvan songs filtered through the creative artistry of hip hop musicians.

They first earned national recognition with “The Boxer\,” a song that won the American Music Awards 2002 New Music Award and made Carbon Leaf the first unsigned band to perform before millions on the AMAs. \nDue in September\, Time is the Playground is Carbon Leaf’s first full-length album in a decade\, during which they released two EPS and a 27-song live performance album and Blu-ray. Time is the Playground gathers the best of songs written\, in fits and starts\, over 15 years\, alongside brand new ideas.

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. \nCritics often draw comparisons between The Tallest Man on Earth and Bob Dylan\, citing similarities in both songwriting and vocal style. Matsson himself has acknowledged Dylan’s influence\, revealing that he started listening to him at the age of fifteen. Fascinated by Dylan’s covers\, he delved into their origins\, which gradually introduced him to early American folk artists like Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie. However\, Matsson is quick to distance himself from being part of any specific tradition\, stating\, “I don’t want to be part of a tradition. I just want to do what feels natural to me. This is how I play\, and this is how I write songs.”

SUMMARY:The Tallest Man on Earth
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. \nCritics often draw comparisons between The Tallest Man on Earth and Bob Dylan\, citing similarities in both songwriting and vocal style. Matsson himself has acknowledged Dylan’s influence\, revealing that he started listening to him at the age of fifteen. Fascinated by Dylan’s covers\, he delved into their origins\, which gradually introduced him to early American folk artists like Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie. However\, Matsson is quick to distance himself from being part of any specific tradition\, stating\, “I don’t want to be part of a tradition. I just want to do what feels natural to me. This is how I play\, and this is how I write songs.”

My Life as a Middle-Aged Man\, comedian Murray Hill hits the road with a one-of-a-kind show that is part cabaret\, part stand-up\, and part behind-the-curtain tell-all.
