THOMPSONVILLE, Mich. — Michigan Legacy Art Park has announced that the first concert in their Summer Sounds Concert Series will be a performance by Cary Morin. The concert will be held on Friday, July 1 at 7 p.m.
Morin’s music is described as roots-infused Native Americana, with hints of bluegrass, folk, blues, and rock. His music is also described as having the spirit and sounds of Cajun, Creole, and Zydeco music. Morin was awarded the Indigenous Music Award for Best Blues CD in 2017 and 2018. He was also nominated for Best Acoustic Blues Album by Blues Blast Magazine. “Cary Morin is an amazing singer and musician who captures the total sound of Americana in all of its iterations,” said Angie Quinn, Executive Director of Michigan Legacy Park. “Our Summer Sounds performers offer a diverse range of musical genres, all hosted in our magical amphitheater. Every concert will be different and unique.”
The next concert will be The Timebombs on Friday, July 8. The group mostly plays songs from the 1990s, in a performance that is described as a high-octane party pop-rock experience.
