Fountain Point Supper Series began with The Accidentals and a crazy idea to host a concert series and a festival and it has been a great way to bring artists from all over the state (and country) to Northern MI. We know everyone of the acts playing this summer and have probably played several shows with them, you are gonna love all of them!

This year, we moved the series to Sunday, doors at 3pm -visit with your neighbor and make new friends, enjoy the beach, or watch your kids play on the fort! We will have beverages and snacks available for the whole family. Then, concert at 4pm and dinner at 5:30pm. The goal is to create a sense of community in a safe space.

We want Sundays at Fountain Point to feel like a beautiful end and beginning of the week. We invite you to come and truly relax. Bring a lawn chair or a blanket, your own food and beverage or enjoy the food and drink we will be serving. We will offer sandwiches from local restaurants, snacks, and drinks including local beer and wine. There will be vegetarian and gluten free options.

We're looking forward to sunny days and music for the whole family.

Best,

Amber Buist

Ani Mari and Company

Singer-songwriter Ani Mari’s debut solo album, girlfriend, explores the ambiguities of coming of age in a beautifully precarious world. Across ten warmly combative tracks, her songs fight for grace and connection amidst the anxieties, desires, heartbreaks, and oftentimes wearying joie de vivre of being young in America’s heartland.

Though just 21-years-old, 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, along the way sharing stages with The Accidentals, Lindsay Lou, May Erlewine, and Joshua Davis, among many others. On tracks like “whitefish bay” and “the prettiest things,” listeners will hear echoes of the forests and waters of the Upper Peninsula where she was raised, and the bluegrass and folk musical influences she grew up around. While the title track, “girlfriend,” might triangulate Ani Mari’s current temperature somewhere between Liz Phair, Waxahachee, and Ratboys, comparisons ultimately fall short. Compelling, alive, humming, and hungry, her indie-folk songwriting is 100% original, and definitely not to be missed.

girlfriend was produced, recorded, and mixed by Erik Koskinen, mastered by Tom Garneau, and released by production house Real-Phonic Records, St. Paul, Minnesota. Songs by Ani Mari (guitar, banjo, lead vocals). Backing musicians include long-time collaborator Kora Melia (violin, mandolin, backing vocals), Michael Michaud (bass), Jack Harris (drums), Ruby Howard (cello, backing vocals), and Koskinen (guitar).

When not traveling and performing, Ani Mari lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where she attends the University of Michigan.
