The New Territory Arts Association
Benton Harbor, MI
Founded in 1998 in order to develop and promote The Benton Harbor Arts District, the
New Territory Arts Association is a grassroots organization dedicated to the revitalization
of Benton Harbor through the Arts. The NTAA has been responsible for many
special district events including the annual Arts District Banner Projects, The Fall Festival
of the Arts, the NTAA Mural Project, and the Benton Harbor City Market. The
New Territory Arts Association Scholarship Fund provides assistance with art education
for community youth by helping with tuition for classes at The Citadel Dance
Center, Water Street Glasswork's "Fired Up!" program, and other regional art education
curricula. The NTAA also sponsors The Benton Harbor Children's Art Fair and
other area arts related programs.

![The MacPodz](javascript:setbar('The MacPodz','macpodz2.jpg','The Livery Main Stage','Saturday, March 13','9 pm','$6','"Ann Arbor\'s jazz rock outfit, The Macpodz, throw some of the coolest parties around. With a little bit of everything in its musical grab bag, The Macpodz easily please music lovers, from fans of far out jazz to those rootsy jam band-style grooves. <p>The inventor and namesake of its own brand of funky dance music, coined \'disco-bebop,\' The Macpodz pay homage to kinky musical concoctions like the groovy, unstructured big band instrumental works of the late, great Frank Zappa with psychadelic tinges of sunglasses-and-afro era Miles Davis. <p>With two solid albums under its belt and a slew of foot-shuffling fans across the region, The Macpodz impress as only an open-minded band can, taking the core of genuine American music and tossing in tasteful touches of world music grooves and lots and lots of swinging horn licks that rouse and comfort all at once." -RAB, Toledo City Paper','www.themacpodz.com/fr_index.cfm')){kind=link}

![Brooks Williams double bill w/Beaucoup Blue](javascript:setbar('Brooks Williams double bill w/Beaucoup Blue','beauCoupBlue3sm.jpg','Livery Main Stage','Saturday, March 20','8 pm','Stay Tuned','Beaucoup Blue is the Americana Philadelphia based duo of David and Adrian Mowry. Father and son have been performing their roots based music nationally and internationally as a duo, quartet and on occasion quintet. Bridging many gaps in American music, their soulful traditional and contemporary styles mesh into an innovative and authentic sound. Although blues is a staple in their repertoire, they base their love in music from Folk, Soul, R&B, Jazz, Country and Bluegrass. All these interests and influences come out in their original song-writing in a unique way. A handsome range of instruments like six and twelve string guitars, slide guitar, round neck resonator guitar, combined with two soulful voices, encompasses a rich and honest feel, noticeably influenced by familial ties.<p>Brooks Williams is a blues singing, guitar picking, bottleneck slide playing certified road warrior who has toured continuously for over twenty-one years. His unique combination of traditional and original music inspired Dirty Linen magazine to call Brooks Williams one of "America\'s musical treasures." His guitar skills won him a place on the Top 100 Acoustic Guitarists list, in company with the likes of Michael Hedges, Chet Atkins, Leo Kottke, Doc Watson, and David Bromberg, to name a few.A native of Statesboro, Georgia (the same Statesboro as Willie McTell’s Statesboro Blues), Brooks has played stages throughout the United States, Canada, Ireland, the United Kingdom and, most recently, Istanbul, Turkey. <p>He has gigged with Taj Mahal, John Hammond, David Bromberg, Maria Muldaur, Chris Smither, Leo Kottke, and Rory Block, and performed the Trowbridge Festival, the Guitar Stars Festival, the Marlborough Jazz Festival, the Champlain Valley Festival, and New Bedford’s Summerfest. And Williams shows no signs of slowing down, with an ongoing schedule of performances in both North America and abroad.','')){kind=link}
