He’s coming to The Ark in Ann Arbor on July 1. Don’t miss it! He pretty much tore the roof off the Roadhouse patio last year. And this time he’s playing a double bill with Jon Langford!

Jon Langford is Coming to Camp Bacon July 1

If you don’t know Jon Langford, take the chance on July 1 and be at the Ark for his Camp Bacon-sponsored Skull Orchard show. If you do know him, you likely already have a ticket.

Jon hails from Newport in Wales and originally hit the scene with the Leeds punk band the Mekons who pretty quickly abandoned straight ahead punk rock in favor of making music that borrowed from a lot of other traditions–notably from country and folk music at a time when the label alt-country didn’t really have any meaning. The Mekons have never had a Billboard hit but they’re still together making music all over the world and routinely ranking in critics annual lists of top albums. Robert Christgau, from the Village Voice (among many other venues), says “they’ve put out as much good music as anybody in rock and roll.”
