Tickets are currently on sale for the Ann Arbor Folk Festival that takes place January 29-30 at Hill Auditorium in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Now in its 33rd year, the two-night event featuring traditional and contemporary artists is a fundraiser for The Ark, Ann Arbor’s nonprofit home for folk, roots and ethnic music.
In keeping with the festival’s tradition, both established and emerging artists will be featured. Pushing the musical boundaries, Friday’s lineup includes Iron and Wine, Jay Farrar (Son Volt, Uncle Tupelo) and Benjamin Gibbard (Death Cab for Cutie), as well as Band of Heathens, Hoots & Hellmouth, Po’ Girl, Jer Coons, and Nervous But Excited. Saturday night’s lineup hones closer to folk and roots traditions with artists like Rosanne Cash, Richie Havens and Doc Watson. Also slated to perform on Saturday night are Raul Malo, Hot Club of Cowtown and, for fans of Celtic rock, Enter the Haggis. The music gets under way each night at 6:30 p.m., with singer-songwriter Patty Larkin as emcee.
Tickets are priced at $30 and $45 for a single night and $50 and $80 for both nights. For more information and to order tickets, call (734) 763-TKTS or log-on to www.theark.org.
