The Blind Pig is hosting Boyce Avenue at EMU’s Pease Auditorium on Saturday October 22nd at 7 p.m. Boyce Avenue, an acoustic-rock band comprised of three brothers from Sarasota, Florida, quickly gained popularity on Youtube through their unique and heartfelt acoustic covers of popular songs from a variety of genres. Now with several hit songs of their own, Boyce Avenue is back on tour, finishing up their US tour this Saturday at EMU before heading off to the UK. Boyce Avenue was here in Ann Arbor last spring performing for a packed house at The Blind Pig. With a growing fan base and a larger venue, this weekend’s concert is sure to be a fun and exciting experience. You can buy tickets to the concert on The Blind Pig’s website before the show for $18, http://www.etix.com/ticket/online/performanceSearch.jsp?performance_id=1499607&cobrand=blindpigmusic, or you can purchase tickets at the door for $22.

PREVIEW: Cloud Gate Dance Theatre
The Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan will be performing at the Power Center on Friday October 21st and Saturday October 22nd at 8 p.m. The company will perform Water Stains on the Wall, artistic director Lin Hwai-min’s newest piece. The work is a metaphor for the exquisite beauty of Chinese calligraphy, the dancers’ movement like flowing ink on pure rice paper. With dancers trained not only in ballet and modern dance, but also tai chi, meditation, and Chinese opera movement, the unique quality and control of the movement is sure to be breathtakingly ethereal.
