Joe Crookston and
Krista Detor. Tickets: $18 adults/$16 student/senior
Joe Crookston sings about the thread that runs through us all. He stands on stage holding his Martin OM 28, stomping his foot, singing superb songs about ruby red dresses, drunk roosters, ex-slaves, window washers, Polish Immigrants, rutabagas and the cycles of life & death. Joe’s music is artful, intense, often transcendent, and extremely engaging. If you love a moving song and magical madness, Joe delivers it all....the music, the lyrics, the energy, and the passion for exceptionally well written songs. Joe loves his audience, and it shows. Joe was chosen as a Falcon Ridge Folk Festival Most-Wanted Artist, and was featured on the Annual Falcon Ridge Preview Tour with Lindsay Mac, Anthony da Costa and Randall Williams--28 dates, including the Kennedy Center. He was a finalist in the Mountain Stage New Song Contest, and received a year-long songwriting grant from the Rockefeller Foundation to travel throughout New York State, interview local residents, and write songs based on his experiences.
Krista Detor is established as a gifted player on the world stage. Rolling Stone called her highly acclaimed album Mudshow, “a small miracle.” She’s reached #1 on the Euro-Americana chart and her music has been featured at the Cannes Film Festival, on NPR, PBS, the BBC, as well as countless U.S. and European radio shows. She’s appeared on both U.S. and European television. Krista has worked with ARC alums Carrie Newcomer and Tim Grimm on the collaborative stage show and CD Wilderness Plots, which is based on the book by Scott Sanders.

Sons of the Never Wrong. Tickets: $19 adults/$17 student/senior
ARC's most-frequent guests, Chicago’s own Sons of the Never Wrong, return to close the 2013-14 season with fresh songs and ever-increasing vigor to celebrate 20 years as one of the country’s leading harmonic folk groups. The Sons are as good as it gets when it comes to skewing the notion of 3-part harmony within original, whimsical songs that spring from both a folk tradition and some other melodic planet you might never have visited. The trio of Sue Demel, Deborah Lader and Bruce Roper, three kind of mixed-up adults of perfect parentage, are just crazy enough to think life in the fast lane comes with a banjo. (Wait, doesn't it?). For 20 years, the Sons have been wowing with their music, humor, and outrageously fun live shows. The band creates original "turbo-charged folk music" for the masses—if the masses attend folk concerts. With their different take on three part harmony on top of witty, whimsical songs, Sons’ style springs from a tradition you’d swear you've heard, but this just ain't your grandpop's folk music. The Sons’ 9 CD releases have brought stunning national and international reviews as well as extensive radio-play. (In recognition of 20 years together there are two new Sons releases.) Over the years there have been dozens of tours with such music-world luminaries as Dar Williams, Patti Griffin, Odetta and Livingston Taylor (who said, “I see it all, and Sons is as good as it gets. They’re burnin’, inventive, bright and original”), The Sons play to sold-out shows from coast to coast and are regular headliners at venues like the Old Town School of Folk Music, Michigan’s the Ark and the Kennedy Center.
