Chris Smither and Paul Cebar Tomorrow Sound at The Ark

Chris Smither blends blues with modern poetry and a calm Zen vibe, singing with a weathered blues moan and quietly virtuosic guitar skills. He’s recognized with Folk Alliance Awards for Song of the Year and Contemporary Artist of the Year. His shows in Ann Arbor have been a special connection between him and the audience.

Paul Cebar got his start in the mid-70s coffeehouse folk scene, then explored rhythms from Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean with his band Milwaukeeans. Now with Paul Cebar Tomorrow Sound, their music spreads funk and rhythmic grooves that spark the crowd to move. It's a warm invitation for lovers of deep rhythms and bluesy sounds.
