Michigan singer, songwriter, and producer Fred Thomas celebrates the re-release of his album Sink Like a Symphony, originally issued in 2006 but available on vinyl again for the first time in over a decade. Thomas has been making music independently for years, playing in countless bands (notably indie pop group Saturday Looks Good To Me, mercurial 4AD signees His Name Is Alive, Detroit summer punks Tyvek, and many more) but is always at his most intense and impassioned in solo form. A trilogy of solo albums released on Polyvinyl Records between 2015 and 2018 was some of his most personal, musically daring, and critically acclaimed work, bringing a detail-heavy and surrealistically poetic lyricism to songs that could be skeletal folk-punk one moment and sheets of melodic experimental electronics the next. Thomas will play a different song selection for each of the night's two sets, focusing on material from Sink Like a Symphony, some of which has never been played live before.

The late show will begin with a rare solo set from Ypsilanti musician Mary Fraser. Though Fraser doesn't often do gigs under her own name, it's likely you've caught her playing with her bands Child Sleep or Virga, or in one of her many supporting roles in bands like Tanager, Timothy Monger State Park, Mother Night, and even more.
