In this special collaboration at Kerrytown Concert House, Erik and Grant improvise on a mix of standards and deep cuts from their shared stylistic influences (jazz, country, blues, French musette, etc.). Their music highlights a love of spontaneity while revealing a deep appreciation for intricacy. Through close musical dialogue, the duo explores a wide range of moods, embracing the intimacy and transparency unique to a two-person ensemble. Listeners are offered an unfiltered perspective on beauty, playfulness, nostalgia, and contemplation through this improvised acoustic guitar / violin collaboration.

Saxophonist Branford Marsalis is one of the most influential and revered figures in contemporary music. The NEA Jazz Master, Grammy Award winner and Tony Award nominee is equally at home performing concertos with symphony orchestras and sitting in with members of the Grateful Dead, but the core of his musical universe remains the Branford Marsalis Quartet.

Legendary all-American frontman and guitarist Mark Farner was the engine that repeatedly pulled the original Grand Funk Railroad to the top of the charts, and today he’s a platinum recording artist 30 times over. At age 70, Farner commands the stage with the same intensity and outpouring of love as he did in 1969, and his fans are still flocking to see “the Captain.” His epic hits defined a generation — from “I’m Your Captain (Closer to Home)” to “We’re An American Band,” from “Heartbreaker” to “Bad Time To Be In Love,” along with covers of “The Loco-Motion” and “Some Kind of Wonderful.”

Korean American jazz pianist Lisa Sung presents an original song cycle inspired by The Vegetarian, a book by Nobel Prize-winning author Han Kang. Performed by her ensemble in collaboration with the Nam Center for Korean Studies at the University of Michigan, the concert explores themes from the book: silence, resistance, and transformation through sound. Drawing from contemporary jazz and improvisation, Sung’s compositions translate the novel’s psychological intensity and poetic restraint into an intimate sonic experience. Audiences can expect a performance that blurs literature and music, inviting deep listening and reflection.

There was only one prize-winning teenager carrying stones big enough to say thanks, but no thanks to Roy Acuff. Only one son of Kentucky finding a light of inspiration from Bill Monroe and his Blue Grass Boys and catching a fire from Bob Marley and The Wailers. Only one progressive hippie allying with like-minded conspirators, rolling out the New Grass revolution, and then leaving the genre's torch-bearing band behind as it reached its commercial peak. There is only one consensus pick of peers and predecessors, of the traditionalists, the rebels, and the next gen devotees. Music's ultimate inside outsider. Or is it outside insider? There is only one Sam Bush.
