The Ann Arbor Folk Festival has just become even more interesting with the announcement of a special opening act. Acclaimed country artist Junior Brown will be taking to the stage on Friday, January 30th, kicking off the festival in style.
Brown's unique sound blends traditional country music and surf rock, earning him comparisons to guitar legends Jimi Hendrix and Ernest Tubb. His signature "guit-steel" double-neck guitar is a must-see for any music fan. With his eclectic mix of sounds, Brown promises to be an electrifying addition to the festival lineup.
A longtime favorite at The Ark, Ann Arbor's beloved acoustic music venue, this performance marks Brown's return to the city where he cut his teeth in the 1990s Austin music scene. This will undoubtedly be a highlight of the festival for fans of country and roots music.
The rest of the festival lineup is shaping up to be a treat for music lovers. On Saturday, January 31st, the event will feature an even larger bill, including performances by Amos Lee, Dawes, The Crane Wives, Jon Muq, Rabbitology, and Ryan Montbleau. Tickets are currently available, ranging from $56.60 to $281.50.
For those looking forward to this year's Ann Arbor Folk Festival, it seems like the wait is going to be worth it – Junior Brown will be joining forces with Greensky Bluegrass on Friday night, promising a night of country-infused magic.
