Ann Arbor - Ypsilanti Regional Chamber issued the following announcement.
The Ann Arbor Summer (A2SF) will host a free virtual concert series for #GivingTuesday on Tuesday, December 1, over their social media channels.
“Since this year has been so difficult for so many people, we wanted to rethink how we approach our annual #GivingTuesday campaign,” said Development Director Heather
Steenrod. “We want to give the gift of music to our community who has faced the absence of live event experiences.
Throughout the day, A2SF will stream performances by Michigan-based artists on their Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube channels. See below for full lineup:
Jordan Hamilton - 1pm EST: Cellist and vocalist Jordan Hamilton merges musical styles to tell stories of the human experience through a variety of musical genres. A member of
Last Gasp Collective and the Southwest Michigan Symphony Orchestra, Jordan can be found performing primarily in the Midwest where he has opened for national acts such as
Eric Roberson and Nappy Roots. His most recent release "My Thoughts are" is a compilation of thoughts that express themselves in hip-hop, folk, and soul music.
MYNA - 6pm EST: Inspired by her personal relationships, Indian heritage, and experiences of synesthesia, MYNA’s artistic efforts have found grounding in the bubbling Detroit
music scene. Influences of Jhené Aiko, Sade and SZA through her lens create relatable confessional lyrics responding to modern hip-hop, neo soul, and R&B.
Sabbatical Bob - 8pm EST: Sabbatical Bob is a hard-hitting, high-energy, funk outfit from southern Michigan that authentically blends traditional funk with elements of jazz and rock
designed to provide a highly danceable and entertaining performance experience. Their sound is shaped by artists such as James Brown, Earth, Wind and Fire, Prince, and
Lettuce.
In addition to providing free concerts, A2SF is looking to raise $18,000 to strengthen and sustain the Festival as they move into 2021. You can make a gift of any amount to the
festival by visiting a2sf.org/donate.
Follow A2SF on their Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube channels to tune in on Tuesday, December 1.
