Join Interlochen Public Radio at Little Fleet for the 2025 Summer Concert series.

Performing on July 9th from 5:30-7:00pm is Warren & Flick.

Warren & Flick crafts a sound both invitingly full and authentically transparent; captivating listeners through original material that balances familiarity with an exploratory spirit. Jacob Warren plays double bass, and Grant Flick plays violin, tenor guitar and nyckelharpa. The two met at the 2015 Acoustic Music Seminar (AMS), a program for young string players from around the world to collaborate and hone their improvisation, composition and performance abilities. A part of the Savannah Music Festival in Georgia, AMS is led by multi-instrumentalist Mike Marshall.

Wednesday evenings just got a whole lot livelier with this 2-hour sail on Grand Traverse Bay. Put on your dancing shoes (soft-soled) and grab your friends and come aboard Manitou for a fun-filled evening.

Tickets can be purchased online or by calling our office at 231-941-2000

Every Wednesday, join us for relaxed acoustic play at the Old Art Building. Share techniques, talents and good vibes. We play pop, blues, rock, jazz, bluegrass ... All levels of ability are welcome. Knowledge of basic chords is helpful. And of course, you are more than welcome to just hang out and listen. Jam session is hosted by Jim Redmond. Jim supplies lyrics and chords on large screen video so everybody can easily join and jam along.

Occasionally lessons are thrown in—Jim’s commentary about the history of a song and some music theory. Shared musical knowledge and songs by attendees add to the fun. Every session begins with “The Carp River Blues” and ends with “Sportin’ Life Blues”.
