SUMMARY:John Hiatt and the Jerry Douglas Band
DESCRIPTION:John Hiatt – Acoustic Guitar & Vocals\nJerry Douglas – Dobro\, Lap Steel\, and Backing Vocals\nDaniel Kimbro – Bass & Tic-Toc Bass\nMike Seal – Acoustic & Electric Guitars\nChristian Sedelmyer – Violin \nIn the midst of a global pandemic\, John Hiatt walked into Historic RCA Studio B and opened up a lifetime full of leftover feelings. \n“I was immediately taken back to 1970\, when I got to Nashville\,” said Hiatt\, who was at the studio to record with Dobro master Jerry Douglas and Douglas’s band. “You can’t not be aware of the records that were made there . . . Elvis\, the Everly Brothers\, Waylon Jennings doing ‘Only Daddy That’ll Walk the Line.’ But all that history wasn’t intimidating\, because it’s such a comfortable place to make music.” \nA half-century ago\, Hiatt lived in a ratty\, $15-a-week room on Nashville’s 16th Avenue\, less than a mile away from the RCA and Columbia studios that were the heartbeat of what had come to be known as “Music Row.” \nIn the ensuing 50 years\, he went from a scuffling young buck to a celebrated grand master of song. His lyrics and melodies have graced more than 20 studio albums\, have been recorded by Bob Dylan\, Emmylou Harris\, B.B. King\, Willie Nelson\, Bonnie Raitt and scores of others\, and have earned him a place in the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame\, a BMI Troubadour award\, and a lifetime achievement in songwriting designation from the Americana Music Association. \nHe and wife Nancy live in a nicer neighborhood now\, just out of town and within walking distance of Douglas\, who reinvented the Dobro and is responsible for bringing the instrument to popular presence in modern times. Douglas has performed on more than 1\,500 albums by artists including Ray Charles\, George Jones\, Alison Krauss\, Earl Scruggs\, and James Taylor\, and none of those works sound a bit like this collaboration with Hiatt. \nLeftover Feelings is neither a bluegrass album nor a return to Hiatt’s 1980s days with slide guitar greats Ry Cooder and Sonny Landreth\, though Douglas’s opening riff on “Long\, Black Electric Cadillac” nods to Landreth’s charged intro to “Tennessee Plates\,” Hiatt’s epic tale of heisting Elvis Presley’s Cadillac\, a car that was surely purchased with proceeds from some of the 250-plus songs the King recorded at Studio B. \nThere’s no drummer\, yet these grooves are deep and true. And while the up-tempo songs are\, as ever\, filled with delightful internal rhyme and sly aggression\, The Jerry Douglas Band’s empathetic musicianship nudges Hiatt to performances that are startlingly vulnerable. Built when Hiatt was five-years-old\, Studio B was designed for music to be made in real time by musicians listening to each other and reacting in the emotional moment. That’s what happened here: Five players on the studio floor\, making decisions on instinct rather than calculation. \nAll this is made possible\, of course\, by Hiatt’s songs\, one of which — “Music is Hot” — mentions the Studio B recording of Waylon Jennings singing “Only Daddy That’ll Walk the Line.” The lyrics are explorations of individual experiences — family\, loss\, tough redemption\, and long-term love — in which Hiatt reveals the universal. \nThe album answers the question Hiatt posed thirty years ago in “Listening to Old Voices”: “Is it true we are possessed by all the ones we leave behind\, or is it by their lives we are inspired?” \nThe answer is “Yes.” \nThose lives are musical ones\, as recorded in the studio where he and Douglas gathered to extend a legacy. And they are deeply personal ones\, as detailed in “Light of the Burning Sun\,” about the suicide of Hiatt’s eldest brother\, and the resulting dissolution of his family. \n“My father screamed\, ‘No\,’ and beat on the wall/ Shook the foundations of the house\, shook the life out of us all\,” he sings\, in the most straightforward and sober vocal of his career. \n“It’s just the story\,” Hiatt said. “With that\, the family just blew a gasket. It’s a part of who I am\, and part of what I’ve been working through\, all these years. Again\, it’s just the story. Like Guy Clark said\, ‘You can’t make this shit up.’” \nLeftover feelings that will remain unresolved\, no matter how often explored. Explicated in a place of history\, a place of comfort. A sacred place\, if you believe the documentation of human expression to be a holy thing. \nHere\, then\, is a meeting of bruised and triumphant American giants. Here are Hiatt and Douglas\, creating the meant-to-be: Love songs and road songs\, sly songs and hurt songs. \nTheir songs\, and now our songs. \nLeftover feelings that edify and sustain.

SUMMARY:The David Bromberg Quintet
DESCRIPTION:Please Note: Proof of Vaccination is required for admission. By purchasing a ticket you agree that you and your guests will comply with all laws\, orders\, ordinances\, regulations and health and safety guidance adopted by the State of Michigan\, the County of Washtenaw and The Ark\, including any guidelines in place at the time of the show.

Please review The Ark’s current COVID-related information before attending a show.  \nA legend of the folk scene\, David Bromberg got his start in the Greenwich Village coffeehouse scene in the mid-1960s. His extraordinary guitar picking and exceptional stylistic range developed over the next decade. David’s live shows\, rarer since he took up violin-making full time\, range from Texas swing to bluegrass\, blues\, classical music\, and anything else that might cross his mind. In the words of the New York Times\, he “has such control of his audience that he can\, at one moment\, hold it in his hand with a tender\, touching yet funny anecdotal song\, and then set it romping and stomping with a raucous bit of raunch. He is electrifying.” We might add that he picked up on the humor in country and classic blues as well as anyone else in the folk revival scene\, making his shows a great deal of fun. David appears tonight with his quintet\, with whom he recently recorded a new album\, “Big Road.”
