Rails on Wheels’ Southeast Michigan Train Show
Rails on Wheels was formed in 1988 by a group of model railroaders interested in constructing, displaying and operating a high-performance HO scale model railroad. At the time, only one of the members had the space available for a permanent layout, so we each began to build small, portable sections that could be joined together, incorporating the specifications that would eventually become the Rails on Wheels Module Standards. To promote our goals of educating our members and the public about railroading and the hobby of model railroading, our activities have included monthly meetings and workshops, layout setups at over 75 train shows and the NMRA National Conventions in 1992 and 1997, private layout setups, railfanning outings and trips to train shows and swap meets.

Yankee Air Museum Presents the Yankee Gala
It was a decisive moment in the history of the world. Much was at risk. From 1942 to mid 1944, Germany had the advantage: experience, years preparing for the inevitable air war, and great engineers behind extremely well disigned machines. One plane however, was to overcome all of these odds and prove that persistence was a much greater power than fear. This airplane was the B-17 Flying Fortress, and the legacy it leaves behind is unmatched in the history of aviation.
Please join us to Celebrate the Legacy and 70th Anniversary of the B-17 "Flying Fortress" in Combat over Europe.

Kerrytown Concert House presents: 16th Annual Edgefest
The 16th annual Edgefest (October 31 - Nov 3, 2012) will explore new music created by today’s American improvisers and composers who now, more than ever, are reaching back to multiple artistic roots, reflecting a growing awareness of the cultural complexity of contemporary American society. The accumulations of different origins, ethnic and cultural backgrounds, filtered by contemporary, uniquely American experiences, have produced a cornucopia of new music; a blending of improvisational-avant jazz with the composers’ own—often multiple--artistic/cultural roots.
In the tradition of Edgefest the roster includes international musicians as well as performers and ensembles from our home community of Southeast Michigan and showcases some of the most celebrated and creative multi-instrumentalists on the scene today.

Art on the Farm in Dexter

This year will mark the 8th year that the show has been held at the farm of Lauren Kingsley and her husband Jack Spack, Jr. It started as an open house with about 15 artists and has now grown to about 30, and they work in every media from landscape painting and stained glass to soaps, book arts and jewelry.

The Ark Presents: Mindy Smith
Mindy Smith was born and raised in Long Island, N.Y., but moved to Knoxville, Tenn., with her father after the death of her mother in 1991. In the South, she soaked up the sounds of Appalachia and fell in love with acoustic, jazz and blues music. She moved to Nashville in 1998 to pursue a career in music and developed her unique vocal style, writing and acoustic skills while performing and singing at clubs and writers nights.
Smith won the 2000 Tin Pan South writers contest and signed a publishing deal with Big Yellow Dog Music in 2001. At the famed music conference South by Southwest in 2003, Lee Ann Womack invited her to perform "Come to Jesus," after singing harmonies during Womack's set.
As the only new artist featured on the 2003 tribute album Just Because I'm a Woman: The Songs of Dolly Parton, Smith revived "Jolene." (Parton appeared in the video as well.) Smith wrote all the songs on her debut album One Moment More, was released on Vanguard Records in early 2004.

The Ark Presents: Junior Brown
"A lot of people tell me they don't like country music, but they like what I am doing," says Junior Brown. "I hear that line more than anything else," which is ironic because a couple of licks is all it takes to erase any doubts concerning Junior's stylistic allegiance. His music combines the soul of country and the spirit of rock n' roll.
In Junior's case, playing everywhere from the Grand Ole Opry to rock showcases on the West Coast and his hometown of Austin, Texas, *crossover* is not synonymous with watered-down or light-weight. He says of his ever-growing legion of converts: Just about the time they label me as some old time honkytonk singer, I throw something new in there that surprises them. And then they'll appreciate the traditional styles of country music too. Do something to wow them without ruining the roots of country and they end up accepting the music that they would have been prejudiced against.

The Ark Presents: Edwin McCain
In a way, Edwin McCain began sowing the seeds of Mercy Bound, his tenth album and debut for 429 Records, seven years ago. The songs comprising Mercy Bound are the fruits of an on-again, off-again collaboration with fellow singer/songwriter Maia Sharp that began in 2004 with their lovely duet "Say Anything." Since co-writing and tracking that song, McCain and Sharp have kept up their friendship and creative partnership. They decided to make Mercy Bound their first full-album collaboration.
And that collaboration has offered McCain, some 20 years into his career, a chance to try something new—not only with someone who's worked with everyone from the Dixie Chicks to Art Garfunkel, but also someone who had an eerie habit of being able to get deep inside his head, he says with a laugh.
Like such McCain signature songs as "3 a.m." and "I'll Be," the horn- and Rhodes piano-tinged tracks comprising the Sharp-produced Mercy Bound are classic Edwin. They're story songs about lovesick romantics or truth seekers stumbling around life trying to make sense of all their good luck, or of situations gone awry; pop-tinged sing-alongs written on acoustic guitars jammed with percolating hooks.

The Ark Presents: Victor Wooten
Victor Wooten: A high-wire act on low-pitched strings
Hailed as the most influential bassist since Jaco Pastorius, Victor Wooten is known for his solo recordings and tours, and as a member of the Grammy-winning supergroup Bela Fleck & The Flecktones. He is an innovator on the bass guitar, as well as a talented composer, arranger, producer, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist. Continuing the tradition of virtuosity forged by James Brown, Funkadelic, and Prince, Victor will make you wonder how he could possibly be creating his incredible bass effects in real time. His show is a high-wire act on low-pitched strings that owes some of its inspiration to another Wooten mentor, the inimitable Bootsy Collins. A three-time winner of Bass Player magazine's Bass Player of the Year award, Victor Wooten is a musical experience not to be missed!

In one of Sondheim’s most haunting musicals, Sweeney Todd brings the gritty underworld of 19th Century London to gruesomely delightful life. Sweeney Todd, the demon barber of Fleet Street, comes home after being exiled by an evil judge who banished him and ravaged Sweeney’s wife. With the help of the diabolical baker below, Mrs. Lovett, Sweeney seeks revenge on the judge and the unwitting inhabitants of London develop an insatiable taste for “meat” pies.
Sweeney Todd is intended for mature audiences due to violence and sexual situations.

Shakespeare in the Arb 2012: Featuring the Merry Wives of Windsor
Directed by Kate Mendeloff and presented by the University of Michigan Residential College and the University of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens & Nichols Arboretum. The beloved Shakespeare in the Arb is now in its twelfth season and remains a very popular tradition in Ann Arbor.
The unique experience of Shakespeare in the Arb comes from the environmental staging of the plays. There is no fixed stage — instead, the audience follows the action through different locations in the Arboretum. The staging takes advantage of the vistas and valleys, and the special arrangements of the surrounding natural settings. The wide open space of the Arb becomes a panoramic stage, creating a more realistic setting than if every scene was played out directly in front of you. As one audience member commented, “The actors used the vastness of its Arb stage to full advantage, making entrances from behind trees, appearing over rises and vanishing into the woods.
Box Office opens at 5:30 pm for general admission. Shows start at 6:30. Ticket prices: Matthaei-Nichols members: $15; students with ID: $10; adults 19 and over: $20; seniors 62 and over: $17; children and youth 5-17: $10; 5 and under free.
Performance Dates:
Thursday, June 7 - Sunday, June 10

2012 Ann Arbor Peony Festival - Celebrating 90 Years
Help celebrate the 90th anniversary of the famed Nichols Arboretum Peony Garden (1922-2012), the largest collection of antique and heirloom peonies in North America. Enjoy Live music on June 2, a preview of Shakespeare in the Arb (Merry Wives of Windsor) on June 3, self-guided tours, cut-flower display in the Reader Center, and more.
Where else can one see more than 230 different kinds of peonies in bloom? This is a spectacular historic collection - and one of the largest in North America - from the early 20th century. It presents the best ornamental peonies of its era. The Peony garden typically blooms between mid-May and mid-June. The best time for viewing the stunningly beautiful and fragrant display is during early to mid-June, depending on the weather. The garden has 27 beds, each full square originally holding 30 plants. The plants were arranged so that the garden would bloom progressively, with the western edge (closest to the Washington Heights entrance) peaking first. Over time, that has changed through relocation, loss, and division of the plants. However, many of the original plants are thriving exactly where they were planted many decades ago.
Admission is free. Nichols Arboretum is open sunrise to sunset.

LePop Gallery Presents: Xuan Alyfe
LePop is a traveling pop-up art gallery intended to breathe new life into underutilized corporate spaces available for lease or sale (this particular gallery will be on the bottom floor of the Comerica building at 101 N. Main Street in downtown Ann Arbor).
The LePop Gallery will be embracing the spring season with some cross-cultural pollination. Xuan Alyfe is a young street artist making his first visit to the U.S. from his native Spain to be something of an “artist in residence” at the gallery for the month of April. Xuan’s murals and installations on the streets of Spain evoke Miro and Kandinsky - if Kandinsky had grown up listening to punk. His work is playful yet strongly geometric, primitive and at the same time unexpectedly whimsical.
The gallery will open to the public on April 20th with an opening reception from 8 p.m. until midnight. In typical Charlie LaCroix style, great music and top notch refreshments sponsored by Arbor Brewing Company will be on hand. Those who can’t make it out for opening night will still have a chance to catch Xuan’s esoteric, arcane, spiritual and cosmological cultural offerings. The show will run April 20-May 13, with normal gallery hours Monday-Wednesday 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., and Thursday-Saturday noon until 9 p.m.

Performance Network Theatre Presents: Red
“Red” is a six-time Tony Award-winning drama by John Logan. “Red” begins previewing on April 19 and runs through May 27, 2012. It is directed by Performance Network Executive Director, Carla Milarch and features Kevin Young and Mark Rademacher as the artist Mark Rothko.
For two years from 1956-58, the abstract expressionist painter Mark Rothko worked feverishly in his Bowery St. studio on Manhattan’s lower East side, on what was at the time the highest-paid commission in art history. A Russian immigrant Jew from humble beginnings, he worked on a series of enormous murals that would adorn that bastion of capitalism - the famous Four Seasons Restaurant in Mies Van der Rohe’s Seagrams Building. John Logan’s Tony-winning play paints a picture of the fiery artist as he works intensely on the paintings, with the help of his apprentice Ken, and struggles with his personal demons to bring forth what would ultimately be his life’s greatest achievement.
Weekly performances of “Red” are Thursdays at 7:30, Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm and Sundays at 2pm, with 3pm Saturday matinees on May 5 and May 19.
