Amy Nesbitt, Artistic and Executive Director of The Ann Arbor Summer Festival made her annual stop at the WEMU studio to discuss the 2017 Mainstage Series. She and I reminisced about Diana Krall’s early career including the significant impact Ann Arbor had on her rise in popularity. Amy filled us in on shows for the entire family and hipped us to a big party with Ira Glass, host of This American Life prior to his show. The 2017 Ann Arbor Summer Festival Mainstage Series brings Ann Arbor favorites together with fresh surprises.
