Brian Vander Ark with Crashing Cairo and Steppin' In It April 5, 2007

Brian Vander Ark, the former lead vocalist and principal songwriter for The Verve Pipe, is enjoying a successful career as a solo artist. His journey has resulted in a lyrical, engrossing collection of songs wrought from an experience that many have dreamed of but few have faced. On the way, Brian rediscovered his love for performing and now revels in a freedom that few can claim as he travels the road in an Airstream trailer to play his songs and connect with audiences.

His new release, "Angel, Put Your Face On" is both earnest and reflective as the music returns to a familiar place for an intimate look at life while exploring themes of family, love and loss.

Brian and the Airsteam pull into Ferndale for a show at The Magic Bag on April 5. Steppin’ In It and Crashing Cairo open. Crashing Cairo, who recently released their own namesake album, features vocalist Robert Wax who has opened for artists such as Kid Rock. Doors open at 7 pm. Tickets are $12.
