  • 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.
