ANN ARBOR – The Ark, in partnership with the Ann Arbor Summer Art Fair, will be presenting four artists on two stages during the fair.

Presented by DTE, the Summer Sounds stages will be set up at the corner of South State and South University and at the corner of Main and Liberty streets.

Here’s the lineup:

State Street Stage

Up-and-comer London Beck is a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer who has been headlining at local venues like the Blind Pig and Ypsi Pride. Their music draws influence from across the musical spectrum, including soul, jazz, pop and hip hop.

Local favorites the RFD Boys have been performing together since 1969, when they were still students at the University of Michigan. They’ve been the house bluegrass band at The Ark for the last 30 years and their performances have taken them as far as Germany, France and Australia. Get ready for some toe tappin’ fun.

Huntington Woods native Jill Jack has played music for decades and has performed to sold out crowds and opened for world-renowned acts with her band numerous times. Jack calls her sound Americana, which encompasses rock, pop, country, blues and folk.
