Michigan-IO is a folk music ensemble based in Holland, MI that has gathered songs from a 1938 journey by folklorist, Alan Lomax, who led a crew commissioned by the Library of Congress to record the folk songs of Michigan and the Great Lakes region. The songs tell a story of the lumbering, mining, shipping, and everyday realities of the people who lived and worked in Michigan’s early statehood. Michigan-IO gives voice to these timeless tunes in a contemporary way that honors the stories and celebrates the folk music tradition throughout the Great Lakes.
