MUSICAL PERFORMANCES

Tray Wellington

bluegrass, jazz

Thursday, July 30 • 8:00 PM – 10:00 PM

Banjo player Tray Wellington’s approach to the quintessential American instrument is all about looking forward. An International Bluegrass Music Association Award winner, Wellington is critically acclaimed not only for his technical prowess, but also for leveraging his unique point of view to craft a one-of-a-kind voice on the instrument. It’s a feat that’s all too rare in these roots genres that seem to value emulation and regurgitation over all else. Instead, Wellington has time and time again reasserted that his playing style, and all of the many varied and disparate parts that combine within it, is wholly his own – and it’s unconcerned with tradition.

Ani Mari and North Ingalls

Americana, folk

Friday, July 31 • 8:00 PM – 10:00 PM

North Ingalls is a four-piece indie folk-rock band. The members of North Ingalls enjoy blending various genres to fuel their unique sound. With folk at the forefront, it is mixed in with jazz, R&B, and rock to create the music you hear from them today. The theme of love is at the heart of their music, with tunes that touch upon the ups and downs of relationships, friendships, and kinships. The band has gained a devoted following for its deeply honest and detailed narrative lyrics that explore the raw feelings and experiences that arise between two connected hearts. Brought to life by emotionally raw vocals and a rich, full-bodied sound, North Ingalls’ original music strikes a compelling chord with every generation.

Ani Mari is an alt-Americana singer-songwriter from the Northwoods of Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula, whose songs weave complex chord progressions into heart-wrenching stories and melodies, spanning from roots folk to indie rock. Whether solo, with folk duo Ani & Kora, or with her backing band, Ani has toured nationally and across her home state for over a decade. Her debut album, girlfriend (2023), fights for grace and connection amidst the anxieties, desires, heartbreaks, and oftentimes wearying joie de vivre of being young in America’s heartland. Her sophomore album, The Masquerade, drops on all streaming platforms this August.
