Considered one of the top music clubs in the world, The Ark is Michigan’s nonprofit home for folk and roots music. With live music over 300 nights each year in one of the best listening rooms anywhere.

The Club
At The Ark, we take seriously our role as part of a larger musical community. We nurture rising artists, we listen to the wisdom (and the humor) of those who’ve been around for awhile, and, frankly, we’re not afraid to present music that you just won’t hear anywhere else.

Who’s Played at The Ark?
The Ark is committed to presenting performers throughout the entire arc of their career. We introduce emerging artists and celebrate acoustic music’s elite.
