Just Announced!

Margaret Glaspy brings her "I Am Both" tour to The Ark on September 14.

Tickets on sale to the public Friday, June 5 at 10am >>> https://mutotix.umich.edu/6698

In an era of excess and endless distraction, the New York-based singer/songwriter Margaret Glaspy rejects the noise in favor of something far more essential. Glaspy has assembled a selection of songs that span from fictional vignettes to unguarded self-revelation to empathetic observation of the troubled world around her. Produced by Joe Henry (the three-time Grammy-winning singer/songwriter/producer known for his work with luminaries like Aimee Mann and Joan Baez), I Am Both ultimately stands as a striking new statement from one of the modern music canon’s most formidable songwriters.

VOICES is unlike any show here at The Ark. 🔆

Through intimate live performances and on-stage artist interviews, audiences are invited beyond the music and into the stories, experiences, and perspectives that shape the artists themselves.

What can you expect from this show? 🎶

Don't miss River Shook at The Ark on August 26. Grab your ticket now at https://mutotix.umich.edu/6696

River Shook carries the country-rock torch of Sarah Shook & the Disarmers into an exciting new era. Shook debuts as a solo artist this year, and continues to deliver everything we’ve come to expect from them: killer songwriting, a smoking hot band, and high-energy, heart-winning live shows.

River Shook's galvanizing, self-titled, debut solo album (Independent, June 26, 2026) is a mythic body of work. Arrow-to-the-heart honest lyrics, unforgettable characters, rock-god electric guitar solos, shimmering pedal steel, and Shook’s unmistakable voice cut like a ray of light through a great darkness, coaxing listeners towards a deeper level of awareness and empowerment.
