With six full-length albums out and a seventh on the way\, Anna has been likened to a short story writer and praised by NPR\, Rolling Stone\, Billboard\, and others for her keen observations of the human condition. In fact\, Ann Powers of NPR Music had this to say\, “Anna Tivel is just one of my absolute favorite living songwriters. Her writing on [Outsiders] is at the same level as Paul Simon when he wrote ‘The Boxer’ and ‘American Tune.'” \nLuke Henry is a Nashville-based singer-songwriter originally from Colorado\, blending honest Americana storytelling with a modern folk-pop sound. Fans of Noah Kahan\, James Taylor\, and Ed Sheeran will feel right at home. His songs dig into fleeting moments\, emotional turns\, and the kind of stories you feel more than hear. Luke’s debut album is set to drop later in 2025. \n

SUMMARY:Michael Cruz Kayne "Sorry for your Loss"
DESCRIPTION:Michael Cruz Kayne “Sorry for your Loss”\nMichael Cruz Kayne presents “Sorry for Your Loss\,” a deeply moving yet hilariously heartfelt show in The Vault at the Wheeler. As a Filipino-American comedian\, actor\, and writer\, Michael has made audiences laugh on shows like “The Chris Gethard Show” and performed stand-up on “Late Night with Seth Meyers.” But life isn’t always funny. The loss of his young son profoundly changed his world and inspired this touching and comedic exploration of grief. \nIn “Sorry for Your Loss\,” Michael Cruz Kayne confronts the difficult questions around mortality: If everyone dies\, why does nobody talk about it? Balancing humor\, compassion\, and moments of raw honesty\, Michael finds a way to make the unbearable feel\, somehow\, bearable. \n“Breathtaking and funny… performed by a master writer/actor… can’t stop thinking about it.” – Gary Gulman\n“Absolutely gorgeous storytelling that will leave your heart both full and broken.” – Lea Salonga\nPlease note: Recommended for mature audiences.\nContent warning: This show discusses the loss of a child.
