Dan Rickabus is a ten-foot-tall human grin, a beacon of positivity in a cruel world, a stellar educator and craftsman of musical innovations--and he can hit the drums really, really hard. A member of the peerless Grand Rapids band The Crane Wives for a decade, as well as a frequent collaborator with Earthwork artists and others, including Airborne or Aquatic?, he has begun stepping out on his own melodic journeys, starting with the cosmic 2017 album "Void / Journal". You will hear those songs plus new ones in his set this year. Whether solo on a ukulele or with an eleven-piece psychedelic orchestra, his tales of wolf-packs and phantasms weave a tangible web you'll not soon extricate yourself from. Or want to.
