Blackthorn

The Ark 316 S. Main, Ann Arbor, MI, United States

Members of the Michigan Irish American Hall of Fame, Blackthorn offers shows that involve a musical ramble across Ireland. Traditional songs of emigration, ballads, shanties and jigs and reels combine with some of Ireland's best contemporary songs for a musical experience that is uniquely Irish. This band has been bringing a rich tapestry of Celtic music to southeast Michigan and beyond for 40 years, and they're a must-see for those who want to know the deep traditions of Irish music in Michigan.

Jesse Cook

Royal Oak Music Theatre 318 W 4th St, Royal Oak, MI, United States

For Jesse Cook, music has been a journey. Sonically and literally.

“Over the years, I’ve taken my music and tried to cross-pollinate it with music from different parts of the world,” explains the 50-year-old global-guitar virtuoso. “For the (2003) album Nomad, I went to Cairo and recorded with musicians there. On my (2009) record The Rumba Foundation, I went to Colombia, and worked with musicians from Cuba as well. On (1998’s) Vertigo, I went down to Lafayette, La., and recorded with Buckwheat Zydeco. For me, the question has always been: Where did you go? Where did you take your guitar?”
