FITZGERALDS SIDEBAR PRESENTS: ANI MARI Alt-Americana singer-songwriter Ani Mari has been performing solo, with her backing band, and with her folk duo, Ani & Kora, around her home state of Michigan for almost a decade. She has shared stages with prominent artists such as James McMurtry, BettySoo, Amelia Day, The Accidentals, May Erlewine, and Joshua Davis, and headlined 3 tours across the Midwestern United States and the East Coast. On her debut album, girlfriend, listeners will hear echoes of the forests and waters of Michigan's Upper Peninsula where she was raised, and the bluegrass and folk musical influences she grew up surrounded by. While the title track, “girlfriend,” might triangulate Ani Mari’s current alt-rock temperature somewhere between Liz Phair, Waxahachee, and Ratboys, comparisons ultimately fall short. Compelling, alive, humming, and hungry, her songwriting is 100% original, and definitely not to be missed. Her sophomore album, The Masquerade, drops at the end of August 2026!   Hailing from Lake Orion, MI, and now based out of Chicago, sisters Phoebe and Jaclyn have been bringing their signature knit-tight harmonies across the Midwest over the past decade. With themes of heartbreak, nostalgia, and new beginnings, their universally relatable writing builds the backbone of their work. Their stripped-back sound and quick-witted banter make you feel like you've been invited to their living room for an impromptu set. In honor of their late grandmother Dr. May Ling Lie, the Keynote Sisters released their first CD of covers, Come What May, in 2016 with all proceeds benefiting the Cure Alzheimer’s Fund. The sisters followed up with an EP of original music, Rose Colored Glasses (2019), and single "Done and Damned," accompanied by their debut music video in 2021. Their new album, Temporary by Design, is out now. FREE SHOW!
