1 show, 2 great artists!

Rachel Dresselhouse brings her music like a truth quietly spoken—bare-boned, poetic, and luminous in its simplicity. She writes and performs like someone who has survived storms and still notices the way light bends through broken glass. With only her voice, guitar, and silence, she creates songs that feel both delicate and unshakable. She has shared music in festivals and quiet rooms across the country, around campfires, and even on a film soundtrack (The Horsemen, 2009). But her truest stage is wherever people are willing…

Michigan favorites Chris DuPont and Kylee Phillips met over a decade ago during a radio appearance for Ann Arbor’s 107.1 and became instant fans of one another. In the summer of 2021, after countless path crossings, Chris and Kylee finally learned each other’s material and discovered an incredible vocal blend and stage synergy. Since then, the duo has performed at treasured venues like The Ark (Ann Arbor, MI) and Evanston Space (Chicago, IL), shared stages with artists like May Erlewine, Vienna Teng and Steve Poltz and appeared at many…

It's a bit of a drive, especially during the winter, to come in from Ypsilanti, so please show some…

Authentic, soulful folk from two dynamic songwriters

She caught the attention of Grammy-winner Allison Russell and was offered a regular spot in her backing band The Rainbow Coalition, earning her the chance to jam with superstars Brandi Carlile and the Indigo Girls. Talking to The Tennessean, Russell described Joy as a “a brilliant…
