The Chicago-based quintet Dos Santos has been called "a sweeping epic of Latin American rhythms and borderland poetry" by the website Bandcamp.

The one-night music festival is in its fourth year at The Little Fleet.

Ask Cindy Milock about the lineup this year and a big smile spreads over her face.

"It's going to be an exciting day of music, electrifying," she said. "It's not going to be a show you want to miss."

All Call started at The Little Fleet in Traverse City — an outdoor venue lined with food trucks and a bar. The idea was to bring acts that wouldn't normally tour in Traverse City, to diversify the music scene a bit.

And at just one night, the festival packs five acts into the evening, starting at 5 p.m.

There's also a street market, art projects and other side events.

Tickets are $25 in presale, and $35 at the door. Learn more and view the lineup.
