Tickets are nearly gone for Acoustic Routes Concerts' 10th anniversary celebrations on April 21-22 at Stony Lake Brewing, 447 E. Michigan Ave., Saline.
The weekend kicks off on Friday, April 21 with Peter Madcat Ruth’s C.A.R.Ma Quartet, the latest project from the Grammy Award-winning harmonica legend. Joining Madcat are Grammy-winning drummer John Churchville, bassist and Macpodz founder Brennan Andes and singer and guitarist Dan Ripke. The range of musical influences they bring to the party – from jazz and blues to rock, funk and Indian drumming – brings new perspectives to traditional music and opens the door for some amazing improvisations.
The celebration weekend wraps on Saturday with Wilson Thicket, Michigan's newest bluegrass supergroup featuring virtuoso picker Jason Dennie on mandolin and vocals, Scott Kendall on bass, Keith Billik on banjo and vocals, and Aaron Markovitz on guitar, mandolin and vocals. Expect plenty of roots and lots of grass, like In My Arms and Three Stones in the River. There may be thorns but also some flowers.
The few remaining advance tickets are available at Stony Lake Brewing.com.
Tickets are also getting scarce for the May 13 concert featuring Rosanne Cash and her band that Acoustic Routes and The Ark are producing at The Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor. Cash is coming to town to help raise money for the Breakfast at St. Andrew’s daily meal program, which has been feeding the hungry since 1982.
Her return to Ann Arbor comes during a busy creative season for Cash. On March 3, she and partner John Leventhal released I Am a Pilgrim, the title track to a multi-artist tribute to folk singer and flatpicking guitar legend Doc Watson.
She also hosted a series of songwriting workshops for veterans suffering from PTSD, capped by a performance on March 17 in Anchorage, Alaska with vets and the 11th Airborne Division Band.
In April, she’s traveling to the Hollywood Bowl in California to perform at an all-star 90th
birthday celebration for Willie Nelson.
Later this year, she is preparing a 30th anniversary re-release of her critically acclaimed album The Wheel.
Tickets for the Rosanne Cash concert are available at Ticketmaster.

Thank you to those Council members who support the citizens and the Rec Center.
Please note, the rec center now requires 1/3 to almost 1/2 of its operations be funded by the City of Saline taxpayers. Approximately 10% of our City population uses the facility, while 2/3 of the members are non-resident. It’s time the non City residents of the Saline community pays its fair share.
What happened with the funding for the needed repairs at the Recreation Center? With all of the programs and community services provided at the Recreation Center, the nearby communities spending tens of millions of dollars to build new Recreation Centers, and the number of members/high usage for the Center and part
The mayor and city council love to spend taxpayer dollars frivolously. More and more $$$ into the rec center, that needs to stop. We still don’t have drinkable water and yet the city keeps raising rates. Can’t speak for everyone but I would much rather have clean water than a “lazy river!”
Sorry, Toby Crotty. Do not align to your assessment or thoughts. While nearby communities are spending tens of millions of dollars to build Recreation Centers (because of their value to citizens and communities), Saline is in the fortunate position of already having a very good facility in place which now needs to
You avoided my main point. The rec center is a nice amenity for those that use it. However, it is not a necessity. Clean safe water that we pay exorbitant rates for IS a necessity for EVERYONE!
The unprofessional behavior while in the supposed role of being a journalist when talking to that protester is ridiculous. The incorrect information and “facts” you spewed during the conversation are just par for the course. Thanks for showing up!
I agree with your comments about this journalist. I use the word journalist loosely here, as a journalist should be bringing forth the views of the people they are interviewing, not bringing their obvious bias into every forced conversation.
I understand the right 4 peaceful protests, why expose children to hate and show disrespect to our flag, what is that teaching the children. As a Korean Veteran I oppose anyone disrespecting our countries FLAG, shame on the protesters,
