SUMMARY:Margo Price
DESCRIPTION:Margo Price has something to say but nothing to prove. In just three remarkable solo albums\, the singer and songwriter has cemented herself as a force in American music and a generational talent. A deserving critical darling\, she has never shied away from the sounds that move her\, the pain that’s shaped her\, or the topics that tick her off\, like music industry double standards\, the gender wage gap\, or the plight of the American farmer. (In 2021\, she even joined the board of Farm Aid.) \nNow\, on her fourth full-length Strays\, a clear-eyed mission statement delivered in blistering rock and roll\, she’s taking on substance abuse\, self-image\, abortion rights\, and orgasms. Musically extravagant but lyrically laser focused\, the 10-song record tears into a broken world desperate for remedy. And who better to tell it? Price has done plenty of her own rebuilding—or as she shout sings in explanation on “Been to the Mountain\,” the set’s throat-ripping opener\, “I have been to the mountain and back alright”—and finds herself\, at long last\, free. Feral. Stray. \nSo\, while the last few years have seen remarkable moments of acclaim—a Best New Artist Grammy nomination\, Americana Music Honors\, a Saturday Night Live performance\, and just about every outlet and critics’ year-end Best Of list—Price is still hungry. “I still have a lot of drive inside of me\,” she says. “I have a chip on my shoulder. It feels like I still haven’t been able to fully realize all my dreams yet\, and that eats me up.” Just wait. \nWhen Tré Burt was signed to John Prine’s Oh Boy Records in 2019\, he was one of only two artists -including label mate Kelsey Waldon\, to join the label in the past 15 years. Caught It From The Rye\, Tré Burt’s debut album was re-released on Oh Boy in Jan 2020. The album showcases Burt’s literary songwriting and lo-fi\, rootsy aesthetic\, which he honed busking on the streets of San Francisco and traveling the world in search of inspiration. Like labelmate and songwriting hero John Prine\, Burt has a poet’s eye for detail\, a surgeon’s sense of narrative precision and a folk singer’s natural knack for a timeless melody. Caught It From The Ryeis an urgent missive from an important new voice in songwriting. \nFor a songwriter who thoughtfully documents what he sees in the world\, 2020\, while challenging\, was rich with inspiration. The year birthed the single\, Under The Devil’s Knee\, a song that continues the tradition of outspoken political folk songwritersof yore. It is an incredibly moving protest song tracing the lives of George Floyd\, Eric Garner\, and Breonna Taylor. Recorded remotely featuring Allison Russell\, Sunny War and Leyla McCalla. “Humanity feels like it’s slipping away from us\, as a country. Iwanted to reinstate the humanity of George Floyd\, Breonna Taylor\, Eric Garner and so many other brothers and sisters slain by police in the way I know how. I wanted to immortalize their dignity and make the work easy for future historians and remind the present that no matter what side of the aisle you’re on\, this is about actual pain and real human suffering caused by a system of governance that is morally bankrupt. This\, I felt was my duty as an American songwriter to do. Music is a powerful force\, especially when you put it through a protest song. It makes the fight more tangible. Reframes perspective. None of which entered my mind when writing this\, at all. That was out of anger. I wrote this song out of anger. They should all be alive.” -Tré Burt

SUMMARY:Trampled By Turtles
DESCRIPTION:Trampled by Turtles are from Duluth\, Minnesota\, where frontman Dave Simonett initially formed the group as a side project in 2003. At the time\, Simonett had lost most of his music gear\, thanks to a group of enterprising car thieves who’d ransacked his vehicle while he played a show with his previous band. Left with nothing more than an acoustic guitar\, he began piecing together a new band\, this time taking inspiration from bluegrass\, folk\, and other genres that didn’t rely on amplification. Simonett hadn’t played any bluegrass music before\, and he filled his lineup with other newcomers to the genre\, including fiddler Ryan Young (who’d previously played drums in a speed metal act) and bassist Tim Saxhaug. Along with mandolinist Erik Berry and banjo player Dave Carroll\, the group began carving out a fast\, frenetic sound that owed as much to rock & roll as bluegrass. \nTrampled by Turtles released their first record\, Songs from a Ghost Town\, in 2004. In a genre steeped in tradition\, the album stood out for its contemporary sound\, essentially bridging the gap between the bandmates’ background in rock music and their new acoustic leanings. Blue Sky and the Devil (2005) and Trouble (2007) explored a similar sound\, but it wasn’t until 2008 and the band’s fourth release\, Duluth\, that Trampled by Turtles received recognition by the bluegrass community. Duluth peaked at number eight on the Billboard bluegrass chart and paved the way for a number of festival appearances. When Palomino arrived in 2010\, it was met with an even greater response\, debuting at the top of the bluegrass chart and remaining in the Top Ten for more than a year. Two years later\, their crossover appeal landed them at number 32 on the Billboard 200 pop charts upon the release of their sixth album\, Stars and Satellites. In addition to major bluegrass and folk festivals\, they began showing up at Coachella\, ACL Fest\, and Lollapalooza. The official concert album\, Live at First Avenue\, followed in 2013\, recorded at Minnesota’s most famous venue. A year later\, the band returned with the darker-toned Wild Animals\, which bettered its studio predecessor on the album charts\, reaching number 29 on Billboard. Countless tours with bands like Lord Huron\, Wilco\, Caamp\, Mt Joy and Deer Tick to name a few have followed. 2022 will see the release of the band’s latest body of work called Alpenglow which was produced by Jeff Tweedy of Wilco. \n  \nFull Cord out of Grand Haven\, Michigan has been stealing the scene with an extraordinary song base that spans through originals\, newgrass\, traditional\, covers\, country\, Texas swing\, jazz and more. \nTheir infectious stage show and breadth of material pushed Full Cord through to a win of the 2022 Telluride Bluegrass Festival Band Competition in June and a nomination as the Momentum Band of the year at the upcoming International Bluegrass Music Awards.  With two shows never the same\, their followers in Michigan and beyond try to catch every show\, never knowing what teaser or new song will be in the set list.

SUMMARY:Rodney Crowell: Word For Word Tour
DESCRIPTION:Please review The Ark’s current COVID-related information before attending a show. \nCOVID-19 FAQ \nRodney Crowell is one of country music’s most successful songwriters\, but the deadly seriousness in his music was always there for those with ears to hear. “Dad drove a stock car to an early death / All I remember was a drunk man’s breath\,” sang Waylon Jennings as he took Crowell’s “Ain’t Living Long Like This” to the top of the charts. Since the turn of the millennium\, Crowell has been on a roll\, releasing personal\, ambitious albums to wide critical acclaim. With his autobiographical masterpiece “The Houston Kid\,” he took an unflinching look at his own down-and-out upbringing.  For this special event\, audience members are invited to a rare experience as Rodney reads from his brand new book\, Word For Word\, shares stories\, and performs the songs that have made him a renowned and prolific songwriter. \nBuy Local!
