Up-and-comer London Beck is a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer who has been headlining at local venues like the Blind Pig and Ypsi Pride. Their music draws influence from across the musical spectrum, including soul, jazz, pop and hip hop.
Local favorites the RFD Boys have been performing together since 1969, when they were still students at the University of Michigan. They’ve been the house bluegrass band at The Ark for the last 30 years and their performances have taken them as far as Germany, France and Australia. Get ready for some toe tappin’ fun.
Huntington Woods native Jill Jack has played music for decades and has performed to sold out crowds and opened for world-renowned acts with her band numerous times. Jack calls her sound Americana, which encompasses rock, pop, country, blues and folk.
Ann Arborite Nadim Azzam rose to fame quickly with his high-energy hip hop and jazz fusion sets. In 2016, he toured college campuses promoting coexistence with Jewish reggae artist Matisyahu.
The Ann Arbor Art Fair will take place July 15-17 and will span 30 blocks in the downtown area.
