Laz and San Slomovits, the duo Gemini, moved to Ann Arbor in 1973, and have played The Ark every year since then. About twenty years ago, San’s daughter, Emily, began joining them on stage, necessitating a new name for their trio, Gemily (Gemini + Emily). They’re known for their beautiful voices, genetically tight harmonies, a stage-full of instruments, and songs and instrumentals ranging from traditional American and British Isles folk music, to songs of the 60s Folk Revival, klezmer tunes, pop songs and their own originals.

Shoulder your capes of star-dusted moss. Venture into the land of the harebrained and burrowing. “Rabbitology” is a sonic project that seeks to explore the raw and odd. Beginning in a dorm room with percussion made from a dining hall apple, Rabbitology’s scrappy production style lends to each song’s eclectic and strange soundscapes.
