Ark 316 S. Main, Ann Arbor

Austin pop-folk band fronted by the singer-songwriter duo of violinist Kelsey Wilson and ukulele player Alexander Beggins. Coming on the scene in the 2010s, where they were named the Best Indie Band at successive SXSW music festivals, the band has been praised by PopMatters for a “rootsy pop charm” that’s “organic and earthy than indie pop typically is, but also richer and more effervescently poppy than what you’d associate with folk or Americana.” $35.
