Winter Roots 2025: Michigan-I-O

As part of the Winter Roots Festival 2025, Hiawatha Music Co-Op is presenting a concert featuring Michigan-I-O on March 1st Kognisjon Bryggeri from 6:30-8:30 pm. ❄️

Michigan-I-O is a folk music ensemble based in Holland, MI that has gathered songs from a 1938 journey by folklorist, Alan Lomax, who led a crew commissioned by the Library of Congress to record the folk songs of Michigan and the Great Lakes region. The songs tell a story of the lumbering, mining, shipping, and everyday realities of the people who lived and worked in Michigan’s early statehood. Michigan-IO gives voice to these timeless tunes in a contemporary way that honors the stories and celebrates the folk music tradition throughout the Great Lakes. 🚢🌊
