Music + Community
Posted by: Alissa Ampezzan
This past weekend many of us Qsters attended the 33rd annual Ann Arbor Folk Festival, a two-day collection of innovative local and national artists. The Ark celebrates its 45th year of music and community in 2010 and what better way to mark the milestone than by selling out two nights at Hill Auditorium. Headliners were Iron and Wine, Ben Gibbard (Death Cab for Cutie) & Jay Farrar (Sunvolt), Rosanne Cash, and Richie Havens. Stand-out performances came from Hoots & Hellmouth and local duo Nervous But Excited.

Early this summer State Farm embarked on an integrated multiplatform campaign aimed at connecting with U.S. Hispanics at every intersection in life via TV, radio, digital, print and experiential programs. Alma DDB, the agency spearheading this effort, found their branded entertainment project was a spark for a bigger idea.
