- Performance: Danilo Perez
Grammy-winning pianist Danilo Pérez is among the most influential and dynamic musicians of our time. In just over a decade, his distinctive blend of Pan-American jazz (covering the music of the Americas, folkloric and world music) has attracted critical acclaim and loyal audiences. Whether leading his own ensembles or touring with renowned jazz masters (Wayne Shorter, Roy Haynes, Steve Lacy), Danilo is making a decidedly fresh imprint on contemporary music, guided, as always, by his love for jazz.

June 3, 2012 - Sunday
- Performance: Jason Waggoner
Jason Waggoner is from the edges of the Detroit area and is as comfortable in the woods as he is on the pavement. He was raised on classic country of the 1950s, '70s rock, '80s heavy metal, and '90s jam bands as well as jazz and blues and even classical, and he's managed to put together all those separate sounds. Jason has an eclectic sound that is all his own. He has performed all over the country and been featured on radio and in print and in ads for companies such as Ford and Kellogg—and as the National Anthem singer at Tiger Stadium. Jason Waggoner's music will make toes tap, voices sing, dancers swing, hearts break, and tears fall!

June 4, 2012 - Monday
- Performance: John Primer
John Primer followed the great blues highway and moved to Chicago from his hometown of Camden, Mississippi in 1963. Soon he was rocking such West Side clubs as The Place, The Bow Tie, and Lover's Lounge. Over the years he was a member of the house band at the South Side's legendary Theresa's club, of Willie Dixon's Chicago All-Stars, and, until 1995, of Magic Slim & the Teardrops. That year he released his Atlantic Records debut, "The Real Deal," and his nine albums since then have been classics of traditionalist blues phrasing and lightning-fast slide guitar.

- Performance: Tish Hinojosa
Tish Hinojosa's music crosses borders—between cultures, languages and musical genres. As the youngest of thirteen children born to Mexican immigrant parents in San Antonio, TX, Tish grew up listening to the traditional Mexican songs on her parents' radio as well as to the pop and folk stations of the 60s. She started writing her own songs, in both English and Spanish. With stints in Nashville, Taos, Austin, and now Hamburg, Germany, she has distilled her diverse musical influences and colorful life experiences into a sound distinctively her own.

- Performance: Orpheum Bell & Eastern Blok
Tonight's show features a pair of Midwestern bands that make music rooted in the distant past, yet totally innovative. The Los Angeles Times calls Eastern Blok's music "relentlessly innovative work." Ann Arbor's own Orpheum Bell came together as its members were combing through country and folk rhythms, instrumental waltzes, and Gypsy melodies.
