About the Event
The Ark’s annual Fall Fundraiser is our second largest annual fundraiser after the Ann Arbor Folk Festival.
About the Artist
Allison Russell – poet, singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, activist, and co-founder of Our Native Daughters and Birds of Chicago – embarks upon her next chapter in The Returner, a body-shaking, mind-expanding, soulful expression of Black liberation, Black love, of Black self-respect. Written and co-produced by Allison along with dim star (her partner JT Nero and Drew Lindsay), The Returner was recorded over Solstice week in December 2022 at Henson Recording Studios in Los Angeles, CA. It features Russell’s “Rainbow Coalition” band of all female musicians along with special guest appearances from the legendary Wendy & Lisa, Brandi Carlile, Brandy Clark, and Hozier.
Upper tiers of reserved seating ($500, $250, $125) will include a pre-show conversation between Allison Russell and our emcee (to be announced soon!), plus a dessert reception.
