SUMMARY:The Insiders A Tribute To Tom Petty
DESCRIPTION:The Insiders A Tribute To Tom Petty\nSaturday\, May 30\, 2026 \nShowtime: 7:00 PM \nDoors Open: 6:00 PM \nTickets: $40 Advance / $45 At The Door \nClose your eyes and you won’t know the difference. Open them—and you still might be fooled. \nThe Insiders deliver the premier Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers tribute experience\, faithfully recreating the sound\, spirit\, and soul of one of America’s most beloved rock icons. Featuring six veteran musicians with decades of combined touring and stage experience\, The Insiders are truly running down the dream. \nAbout the Band\nAt the heart of The Insiders is frontman Max Lockwood\, whose lifelong connection to Tom Petty’s music brings authenticity and passion to every performance. From childhood memories of listening to Greatest Hits to commanding stages across the Midwest\, Lockwood’s vocals and presence have drawn constant comparisons to Petty himself. \nFollowing Tom Petty’s passing in 2017\, Lockwood assembled a group of trusted musicians for a one-night benefit concert. The show sold out\, raised thousands for a local domestic violence shelter\, and sparked something bigger. The audience response was undeniable—and The Insiders wouldn’t back down. \nSince then\, the band has sold out venues wherever they go\, earning praise from fans and critics alike. Local Spins’ John Sinkevics put it best: \n\n“The Insiders set the bar at a new level for Tom Petty tributes.” \n\nRooted in Grand Rapids\, Michigan\, The Insiders tour throughout the Midwest and beyond\, honoring music that is deeply woven into the fabric of the American identity. \nEvent Details\n🍷 Beer & Wine Service Available \nAuSable Artisan Village operates under a club license.

SUMMARY:Pots & Petals: A Community Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Pots & Petals: A Community Workshop \nSaturday\, April 25\, 2026 | 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM \n  \nGet your hands in the soil and your brush on the canvas — Pots & Petals is a two-part community workshop celebrating AuSable Community Theatre’s spring production of Community Garden. \nIn the first half\, real gardeners from Grayling’s own Community Garden take the stage. They’ll share what to plant\, how to tend it\, and why it matters — then help you pot a small plant to take home. In the second half\, a local artist leads a relaxed painting hour using AAV-supplied materials. Paint plants\, flowers\, and garden life — no experience needed\, just good energy. \nThe best part? Your finished painting hangs in the theatre during the run of Community Garden — and goes home with you afterward. \nThe PAC bar will be open during the event. Alcohol-free options available for all; alcoholic beverages available to AAV members. \n  \nCOST\nSuggested Donation — donations are welcomed but not required. All are welcome.

When canceled flights left Rose Baldino without her full band at the 2014 Folk Alliance International conference\, she invited Brian Buchanan of Enter the Haggis to join her onstage. Their instant musical chemistry sparked a partnership that would evolve into something extraordinary. \nFour years and hundreds of performances later\, another round of canceled flights led to the addition of bassist Caroline Browning—cementing House of Hamill as the dynamic trio audiences know and love today. \nNow based in Pennsylvania\, House of Hamill has become a beloved presence on festival stages across the U.S.\, appearing on premier folk platforms and amassing millions of online views. Their celebrated version of “Pound a Week Rise” hit #1 on the US Folk DJ charts\, while their all-violin cover of “Sweet Child O’ Mine” garnered more than 16 million views and over 400\,000 shares on Facebook. Their newest album\, Folk Hero\, captures the band’s electric spirit with original instrumentals\, reimagined folk ballads\, and unforgettable new songs—all funded entirely by fans. \nFrom fiery jigs and reels to rich three-part harmonies and hilarious stories from the road\, House of Hamill delivers a concert experience that captivates from the first note to the last. \n Beer & Wine Service\nAuSable Artisan Village operates under a club license. To consume beer or wine during the event\, you must be an active AAV member. \nNot a member yet? \nJoin before the show date here: https://www.artisanvillage.org/membership/ \nJoin us for a joyful\, Irish-inspired night of music\, energy\, and celebration! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGet Tickets

DESCRIPTION:AuSable Artisan Village Community Theatre Presents: Drinking Habits by Tom Smith \nAccusations\, mistaken identities\, and romances run wild in this traditional\, laugh-out-loud farce! \nAt the Sisters of Perpetual Sewing\, two nuns have been secretly making wine to keep the convent’s doors open. But when reporters—and former fiancées—Paul and Sally go undercover as a priest and a nun to expose the operation\, chaos ensues. Their unexpected arrival\, combined with the appearance of a new nun\, sparks paranoia that spies from Rome have come to shut the convent down. As suspicions rise\, wine and secrets are inevitably spilled in this zany tale of love\, faith\, and farcical misunderstandings. \nDirected by: Penny Podjaske \nAssistant Director: Olivia Van De Ven \n📅 Showtimes: \n\nFriday\, November 7 at 7:00 PM (Doors open at 6:00 PM)\nSaturday\, November 8 at 7:00 PM (Doors open at 6:00 PM)\nSunday\, November 9 at 4:30 PM (Doors open at 3:30 PM)\n\n📍 Location: AuSable Artisan Village Performing Arts Center\, 122 Michigan Ave\, Grayling\, MI \n🎟 Tickets: $20 – \n\n🍷 Club License Notice – Membership Access Required to Purchase Alcohol\nAuSable Artisan Village now holds a Michigan Club License\, which allows us to serve beer and wine to active members only during events at our Performing Arts Center. \nNot a member yet? \nYou can purchase an annual membership for $30 and join online ahead of the event. https://www.artisanvillage.org/2025-membership/ \nThank you to our sponsors: \nMatt Lafontaine Automotive \nGrayling Promotional Association \nSunday Matinee Tickets (Click Button Below)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSunday Tickets
