SUMMARY:Dixon's Violin
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets \n\n***THIS SHOW IS IN THE THEATER\, WHICH IS ON THE 2ND FLOOR & ACCESSIBLE ONLY BY STAIRS. We would love nothing more than to be able to welcome every human into the theater and are working really hard to have an elevator built in the near future.*** \nThe world’s premier visionary violinist\, Dixon’s life mission is to inspire people—and he has done so at over 1\,000 concerts across North America\, including giving 5 TED talks/performances\, over 10 years at Burning Man and Electric Forest\, plus radio\, TV\, and film appearances. A former technology leader and symphony violinist\, Dixon walked away from a distinguished career to follow his dream full-time\, and invented a whole new music genre. Dixon now improvises on a 5-string electric violin with a looping system he developed to create an all-live one-man symphony\, guided by his remarkable personal story of life transformation. \n\n\n“A journey of transformation\, unlike anything else.” – Alex Grey / Chapel of Sacred Mirrors\n\n\n“The violinist that is changing the world.” – Preserve the Future\n\n“It’s quite an accomplishment for a man who possibly invented a new genre on his violin.” – City Pulse\n\n“Had the crowd in the palm of his hand.” – Metro Times\n\n“See the real thing live…some truly moving music\, you won’t regret it.” – Examiner\n\n“Will mesmerize you.” – CAL U

SUMMARY:Irish Pub Night Featuring The Lash
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets \nRaise a glass to the Franke Center’s Irish Pub Night filled with mirth\, story and song from one of our favorite Celtic bands\, On The Lash. Get your tickets fast! This show sells out every year. \nOn The Lash formed in early 2022\, with their very first set of shows being a tour through PA and DE. Since then\, OTL has been busy performing at festivals and concert venues across the US\, as well as sharing their unique background and experience in the genre through educational workshops. Some notable festivals include the KVMR Celtic Fest in Grass Valley\, CA; the Yachats Celtic Fest in Yachats\, OR; the Longs Peak Highland Fest in Estes Park\, CO; the Celtic Classic in Bethlehem\, PA; and the Michigan Irish Music Festival in Muskegon\, MI. During their travels\, On The Lash has had the opportunity to share the stage with renowned artists such as Jeremy Kittel\, Talisk\, Alasdair Fraser and Natalie Hass\, as well as opening for Altan within their first year of performing. \nAll graduates of Western Michigan University’s music program\, each member of On The Lash has a unique\, yet complimentary background in folk and classical styles. Elizabeth June (flute/vocals) grew up learning classical flute\, but she also had the unique experience of having a large family full of passion for folk music. With her dad on the banjo\, mom on upright bass\, and 10 siblings covering practically every instrument in-between\, she began singing and playing from a very young age with her family’s bluegrass band. Going on to earn a master’s degree in flute performance from the University of Michigan\, OTL has allowed her to exercise fully her passions for flute\, voice\, and folk music. Joel Tyrone Myers (mandolin) started on fiddle as a young lad playing with the Chelsea House Orchestra\, gaining a love and admiration for Irish music at the outset of his music career. Over the years\, he discovered a passion for composition and songwriting\, which has led to his writing and arranging a majority of the music for OTL. John Robey (fiddle/stomp) began learning classical violin around seven years old\, and it wasn’t until he was fourteen that he began diving into modern styles and improvisational techniques in his church’s worship band. It was this development that first kindled a desire for a non-classical music career\, which manifested into his current trajectory in Celtic music. Patrick Hartson (guitar/bass) started out in music playing cello not only classically\, but also in fiddle club learning various styles of Irish dance tunes. He then went on to earn multiple advanced degrees in cello performance from DePaul University following his time at WMU. Along the way\, he picked up guitar as a secondary instrument\, opening the door to playing in bands in genres from metal to rock and ultimately back to his roots in Celtic.
