Sturtz

The Ludington Area Center for the Arts (LACA) will host Colorado based folk band Sturtz Saturday, May 31 at 7 p.m. when they make their Ludington debut.

Sturtz’s music stands out for its distinctive, soothing instrumental and vocal harmonies. The quartet – Andrew Sturtz, vocals, guitar; Courtlyn Carpenter, cello, harmonies; Will Kuepper, bass, piano, harmonies; and Jim Herlihy, banjo, electric guitar, harmonies - is serene and folksy, with melodic vocals soaring over the lower string instrumentals.

All advance tickets sold in person at LACA include a coupon for $2 off your first pint at Jamesport Brewing Co. and Ludington Bay Brewing.

NPR’s All Songs Considered described Sturtz as a reassuring breath of fresh air that pulls me back to simpler times."

Sturtz just released their second studio album, Hyacinth, in September 2024 and they're excited to tour on this album for the next year. When they’re not playing music, you’ll probably find them milling flour, gardening, roasting coffee, or fine-tuning their photography skills.
