Uneven Ground at Tuesday in the Park
2018-07-24 19:00 - 20:30 | Central Park, Downtown Grand Haven, Grand Haven
A four-piece traditional Celtic band, Uneven Ground blends vocals with instrumentals to bring their listeners on a unique musical journey. Grounded in the roots of traditional Irish music, Uneven Ground presents a blend of songs molded from hundreds of pub tunes from around the Celtic region. By teaching the history of their music, mixed with their nonsensical humor, each performance offers the listener an escape from their busy lives. Figuratively named after the Irish slip jig ‘On the Rocky Road to Dublin,’ the group has become one of the most exciting traditional/folk Celtic bands to emerge on the scene today .

Kristen Kuiper at Tuesday in the Park
2018-07-31 19:00 - 20:30 | Central Park, Downtown Grand Haven, Grand Haven
Hailing from West Michigan, Kristen Kuiper moved to Nashville in 2010 to pursue her passions in the music industry. Her debut single, “Hurt Like I Had Fun” was an edgy anthem that perfectly captured her as an artist at radio and earned her a place on the Music Row charts. Kristen spent the years touring the country and has opened for artists such as Chase Bryant, Big & Rich, Charlie Worsham, Kellie Pickler, Trailer Choir, Rodney Atkins, Joe Diffie and more. Kristen recently released a new EP titled “Broken Radio”, produced by Jeff Anderson. This past year she also had cuts with Texas Artist, John Slaughter, up and comer, Ashley McBryde, and pop artists, Madeleine and Taylor Dukes. Her music is best described as classic country with a modern lyrical twist. The music is raw and real, just like country music should be.

HEATHER MALONEY at Pindrop
2018-09-19 19:30 | Seven Steps Up, 116 S Jackson Street, Spring Lake, MI, 49456, United States
Massachusetts writer and song-singer Heather Maloney celebrates the release her 2018 EP, Just Enough Sun. The six songs (five new originals and a cover of Dylan’s “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall”) were recorded as mostly single-take, live performances in a room where instruments bled into vocal mics and vocals into instruments. The result is a raw and deeply vulnerable collection songs that follow Maloney’s literate and often heartbreaking exploration of family history, childhood dreams and the adulthood realities that butt-up against them; loss, misogyny, unrequited love, poverty, and even the moral dilemma of sending monkeys into space for the sake of science. The daughter of a psychotherapist and a carpenter, Heather’s songwriting is equal parts introspective and relatable.

An evening with ANTJE DUVEKOT at Pindrop
2018-09-20 19:30 | Seven Steps Up, 116 S Jackson Street, Spring Lake, MI, 49456, United States
Antje Duvekot has solidified her reputation as one of Boston’s top singer songwriters with “Big Dream Boulevard” her debut studio release and “the Near Demise of the Highwire Dancer” and “New Siberia” her follow-up albums. The debut CD was produced by Seamus Egan, founder of the Irish super group, SOLAS and the project was released on songwriter Ellis Paul’s label and quickly attracted international attention for Antje. It was voted “#1 Folk Release of 2006″ by the Boston Globe and was named to the “Top10 Releases of the Year” by National Public Radio’s, Folk Alley. Her follow up albums “the Near Demise of the Highwire Dancer” and “New Siberia” were produced by Richard Shindell and along side with Richard feature other “folk royalty” such as John Gorka, Lucy Kaplancky and Mark Erelli.
Antje has won some of the top songwriting awards including the Grand Prize in the John Lennon Songwriting Competition, the prestigious, Kerrville (TX) “Best New Folk Award” and in one of the nation’s top music markets, she won the Boston Music Award for “Outstanding Folk Act”, three of the top prizes in the singer songwriter world.
Antje has extensive touring experience, criss-crossing the US and Europe many times. She is a compelling live performer and has been invited to play some of the top festivals including The Newport Folk Festival as well as the Mountain Stage, Philadelphia and Kerrville Festivals. Internationally, she’s headlined the The Celtic Connections Festival in Scotland and the Tonder Festival in Denmark.
In December of 2007, The Bank of America featured Antje’s song “Merry Go Round” in a national TV advertising campaign seen by millions, including a Super Bowl audience. Antje’s fast growing fan base, the viral spreading of her music and a track record of sold-out shows are a testament to her growing popularity.

Poetry Reading at The Bookman
2018-09-21 17:30 - 18:30 | The Bookman, 715 Washington, Grand Haven, MI, 49417, United States
Sharon Whitehill, author of Umbilical Universe, will be at The Bookman reading her poems and signing books. Read more about Umbilical Universe below.
From the publisher:
Through the prism of personal crises, Whitehill’s poems mirror the flawed human search for connection. At the core of this collection are poems about a mother, her daughters, and the clash of competing realities—obligation to children versus the impulse to self-actualization.
“The book is my testament to the redeeming nature of love,” the poet says. “Though my life has been rich in achievements and human relations, my one great regret is having fallen so short of being the mother I wanted to be. But writing the poems has been restorative, therapeutic. I didn’t expect that, but it feels significant.”

RYANHOOD at Pindrop
2018-09-23 19:00 | Seven Steps Up, 116 S Jackson Street, Spring Lake, MI, 49456, United States
What do you do when an opening act gets a standing ovation? You invite them back to do their own show! And that is exactly what we did with Ryanhood who performed an amazing opening set for Anna Nalick a few years ago. We’re so excited to have them back for their own show for a second time!
Hailing from Tucson, AZ, acoustic-duo Ryanhood have performed more than 800 shows in 42 U.S. states. They’ve shared stages with Jason Mraz, Matt Nathanson, Train, Lifehouse, and even been tweeted about by Ellen DeGeneres.
Ryanhood began as humble street-performers at Boston’s Quincy Market, when they were spotted by a college booking agent and thrust into the college touring scene. They quickly developed a reputation around the country as one of the most entertaining and engaging duos around. Their airtight vocal harmonies, along with Ryan’s rapidly precise guitar riffs and Cameron’s soulfully rich lead vocals, create the pleasantly distinguishable “Ryanhood” sound.
They have since relocated back to their hometown of Tucson, AZ, where they have won more than a dozen Tucson Music Awards including “Best Folk Band” and “Best Rock Band” (you can decide for yourself which is most accurate).
