That's All Folk...

The Ann Arbor Folk Festival has been serving up a tasty menu of music (not Looney Tunes!) for 30 years. The two day event always provides a the perfect blend of up and coming acts along with bona fide legends. More importantly, the proceeds go to support the The Ark, one of the finest music venues in the country, which books a steady flow of folk, roots & ethnic music. So many of my favorite performances over the years have been under that roof. The 2007 festival line-up has been announced, and it looks like another solid mix of roots, traditional & contemporary music (The Festival takes place at Hill Auditorium):
