What to Expect

• 1.Arrive early to grab a good seat in The Ark’s intimate listening room; seating is usually limited and first-come, first-served, so give yourself time to settle in before the first note.
• 2.This is an acoustic indie-folk set, so keep chatter low during songs and let the vocals and guitar breathe; don’t expect a mosh pit or loud club energy.
• 3.Parking downtown can be tight; use nearby garages like City Center Garage or Liberty Street structures and allow a few extra minutes to walk to 316 S Main.

• 5.There are plenty of casual dining options within a short stroll, so plan a pre- or post-show bite nearby.
