SUMMARY:The Accidentals
DESCRIPTION:Long before glowing acclaim from ​NPR ​and ​Billboard​\, packed shows\, unforgettable festival appearances\, millions of streams\, and collaborations with everyone from BTS to Kaboom Collective\, the journey of The Accidentals commenced in a public high school classroom in Traverse City\, MI. As the story goes\, concertmaster​ ​violinist Savannah Buist and cellist Katie Larson raised their hands at the request for volunteers to play a music boosters concert and wound up being musical soulmates. After Sav and Katie attended a school presentation by The Moxie Strings\, their collective fate would be sealed forever. “If the Moxie Strings hadn’t come to our school\, we might not have pursued music professionally\,” admits Sav. \nSav and Katie transferred to Interlochen Arts Academy for the remainder of high school\, and since then they have released six full-length albums\, three EPs\, and two live albums\, scored the indie documentary “One Simple Question\,” and collaborated with Keller Williams\, Kaki King\, Tom Paxton\, Kim Richey\, Dar Williams\, and Mary Gauthier.  \nJoining Sav and Katie is Detroit multi-instrumentalist Katelynn Corll. The journey of The Accidentals has only just begun. “The goal of our music has always been shared experiences. Music helps us process things that are hard to process\,” says Sav. “A lot of the writing comes from touring\, and touring is just a myriad of extremes\, triumphs\, and failures. It’s how we connect with people in those moments that shape our experiences. Hopefully\, people can relate to something we’re creating in a way that feels like understanding. Maybe it offers a different perspective\, and that leads to less loneliness and more community.”

SUMMARY:Sarah Jarosz: Polaroid Lovers Tour
DESCRIPTION:Four-time GRAMMY winner Sarah Jarosz has announced her new album\, “Polaroid Lovers\,” and she’s bringing it to The Ark! The record is releasing on January 26\, 2024 via Rounder Records. It features a decidedly more electric sound than Sarah’s earlier bluegrass-flavored efforts\, and it shows this brilliant artist maturing as a songwriter. A Texas native\, she’s spent most of her adult life living in New York City\, but shortly before writing the album Sarah left her adopted home to join her soon-to-be husband in Nashville. The geographic shake-up led to a sonic one as well for “Polaroid Lovers.” For the first time in her career she opened herself up to collaborators\, leading to writing sessions with Daniel Tashian\, Ruston Kelly and Natalie Hemby. “‘Polaroid Lovers” is an album-long meditation on those strangely ephemeral moments that indelibly shape our lives. “What I love about a Polaroid is that it’s capturing something so fleeting\, but at the same time it makes that moment last forever\,” says Sarah. “It made sense as a title for a record where all the songs are snapshots of different love stories\, and there’s a feeling of time being expansive despite that impermanence.” \nTonight’s show is sponsored by Dartbank Wealth \n\nThe Polaroid Lovers Tour VIP Experience Includes: \n\nOne (1) general admission — OR — premium reserved ticket (varies by show)\nPre-show soundcheck performance\nQ&A with Sarah\nGroup photo with Sarah (Sarah stays on stage)\nExclusive signed poster\nEarly entry into the venue

SUMMARY:The Okee Dokee Brothers
DESCRIPTION:As childhood friends growing up in Denver\, Colorado\, Joe Mailander and Justin Lansing were always exploring the outdoors. Whether it was rafting down their neighborhood creek or discovering hiking trails through the Rocky Mountains\, Joe and Justin were born adventurers. Now\, as the GRAMMY® Award-winning Okee Dokee Brothers\, they have put this passion for the outdoors at the heart of their Americana Folk music. \nJoe and Justin record and perform family music with a goal to inspire children and their parents to step outside and get creative. They believe this can motivate kids to gain a greater respect for the natural world\, their \ncommunities\, and themselves. The five-time Parents’ Choice Award winners have garnered praise from the likes of NPR’s All Things Considered and USA Today\, and have been called “two of family music’s best songwriters.”

SUMMARY:Judy Collins
DESCRIPTION:Judy Collins has inspired audiences with sublime vocals\, boldly vulnerable songwriting\, personal life triumphs\, and a firm commitment to social activism. In the 1960s\, she evoked both the idealism and steely determination of a generation united against social and environmental injustices. Five decades later\, her luminescent presence shines brightly as new generations bask in the glow of her iconic 50-album body of work\, and heed inspiration from her spiritual discipline to thrive in the music industry for half a century. \nThe award-winning singer-songwriter is esteemed for her imaginative interpretations of traditional and contemporary folk standards and her own poetically poignant original compositions. Her stunning rendition of Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now” from her landmark 1967 album\, Wildflowers\, has been entered into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Recently\, contemporary and classic artists such as Rufus Wainwright\, Shawn Colvin\, Dolly Parton\, Joan Baez\, and Leonard Cohen honored her legacy with the album Born to the Breed: A Tribute to Judy Collins. \nJudy is as creatively vigorous as ever\, writing\, touring worldwide\, and nurturing fresh talent. She is a modern day Renaissance woman who is also an accomplished painter\, filmmaker\, record label head\, musical mentor\, and an in-demand keynote speaker for mental health and suicide prevention. She continues to create music of hope and healing that lights up the world and speaks to the heart.
