WOW! What a concert. After dinner at The Fly Trap (see the previous post) we ventured into Ann Arbor to see Joe Pug at The Ark. After seeing Joe Pug perform one song at the Ann Arbor Folk Festival this winter, we bought tickets to see him at The Ark. He brought a band with him, but still performed many songs solo with a guitar or guitar and harmonica. Amazing concert. Joe Pug is a tremendous singer songwriter (he draws comparisons to Bob Dylan). But his warm and amazingly strong voice, lyrical style, engaging smile and songwriting ability will set him apart. He performed his own songs in addition to three covers - one a standard gospel song, one by Warren Zevon, and another by Graham Parsons. I have never seen The Ark sold out before, but it was tonight and rightly so. I could listen to Hymn 101 and Speak Plainly Diana for days. The cover of Warren Zevon's Johnny Strike Up the Band had me dancing in my chair. See Joe Pug whenever you can:
