FRIDAY, MAY 2 - MARK DUVAL
In the spring of 2006, Mark Duval emerged in Southwest Michigan from a 10-year musical hibernation with "Rhythm of the Rustbelt", his brilliant debut album, described by reviewer Dustin Walsh of Creem Magazine as "...the soundtrack to a summer sunrise over a dusty, forlorn Route 66."
His songwriting versatility takes the listener from haunted landscapes of brooding fingerstyle folk ballads to roots rock social commentary, shuffling blues riffs and latin grooves that show off his skills as a rhythm guitarist.
His follow-up release, "Two-Track Mind"(2007), was nominated for "Best new folk album of 2007" by WYCE in Grand Rapids, and he has a 3rd CD in the works, due out late 2008.Mark Duval & Traci Seuss perform Mark's songs in listening room venues. Traci's beautiful vocal harmonies bring Mark's melodies to life, and they are often backed up with upright bass and various other instruments. Preview songs at myspace.com/markduval

FRIDAY, MAY 16 - HANA MALHAS AND CHRIS DORMAN
Hana Malhas is a directionally-challenged local singer/songwriter addicted to chocolate. She writes words that find their purpose in the sounds of a piano or guitar (and occasionally the violin). She grew up in Jordan, crossed the pond, and currently resides in Ann Arbor. Her songs offer an acoustic blend of voice and instrument that deliver thoughtful imagery and an intuitive sense of motion. Sometimes they express the emotional implications of a cultural divide, but mostly they just describe moments in life. She writes songs that want to find their way to you because she believes that music can fill in when life sometimes gets in the way.

SATURDAY, MAY 24 - ANNA ASH
All we need to know is that Anna Ash is a not far off cousin of the yellowbird. with a lullaby of a voice, her and her friends take stringed instruments and mingle them with a smidgen of soul and a tad pinch of a shimmy and a twang. in the middle of somewhere that's not on the edge, the middle of something that's utterly endearing, Anna sits amongst all of the things that could sound like sophisticated, barefoot birthday parties where there are plenty of cupcakes with the right colored sprinkles, but also just enough side tables with lemonade that may or may not be spiked with things to make all the guests dizzy. any of the yellowbirds perched up in the backyard trees above the birthday party that heard her & her voice, which was probably coming from the kitchen-colored radio, would wonder which one of their cousins finally got captured & heard. they would think that her, their probable cousin, was sensible and brave sounding…and then they would wonder where she got all of her friends who toe tap and pick and pluck with her.
Her new album is called "hello friend (from bird above)"
