  • A guest 100% for Rhiannon Giddens · Wed, 14 Oct 2015

    Possibly the best concert I've ever seen! Her band is fantastic, but she shines. Her genuine demeanor onstage only helps enhance her amazing voice, fiddle and banjo skills, and overall musicianship. Fantastic to see her in such an intimate setting, and to hear all about the history of the songs and how passionate she is about them.

    An incredible gift from Ireland! So privileged to be able to hear and see new music created just for us.

  • A guest 100% for Noah Gundersen · Thu, 24 Sep 2015

    Noah's performances are always incredible, but to see him at the Ark, a place where people go to truly listen, was absolutely amazing. Highly recommended!

  • A guest 100% for Béla Fleck · Sun, 01 Mar 2015

    I have now had the joy of seeing Bela Fleck live at The Power Center on U of M campus. His playing with Abagail Washburn was phenomenal and so good I cried. I used to have a lot of Bela Fleck and the Flecktones CD's but had not kept up lately with his music. I am so happy to see the he is happily married to such a wonderfully, talented artist and just loved the interaction with the audience they have-so cute when they received flowers at the end and said that was the first time that had happened. Loved Abagail's dancing and Bela's entertaining reply "I didn't know you could dance honey" Best Banjo players in the universe!!~~

  • A guest 100% for Kate Voegele · Wed, 12 Nov 2014

    Kate was a first-class performance last night. The intimate setting was excellent and seeing her perform songs I've loved for years was amazing. The opening act, Briar Rabbit, was excellent too.

  • A guest 100% for Elvis Costello · Mon, 08 Sep 2014

    Great show. Elvis' voice has not aged a bit, strong and hitting every note. Varied set list, he was engaging and friendly. The audience was a bit dull however....maybe this venue not the best. Security was really putting the damper on any fun. We were at the original show that he stopped partway through due to illness. He kept his word and came back - we were glad we could still use our 7th row tickets and make the rescheduled show. Elvis is a true professional and talented musician.
