Join us for a special evening with Folias Duo as we celebrate the send-off of our 2026 West Coast Tour at the vibrant and eclectic Speciation Cellars in Grand Rapids, MI.
Set against a backdrop of wild-fermented wines and hand-crafted beers, this free, all-ages concert is the perfect way to send us off in style. We’ll be performing original flute and guitar compositions from our upcoming album Great Lakes — music inspired by the landscapes, cultures, and rhythms of the Great Lakes region.
This concert is free and open to all — and the Folias Duo gift shop will be open that night. Pick up CDs, vinyl, notecards, and Carmen’s Great Lakes–inspired candles. Every purchase helps keep us on the road.
Folias Duo at Speciation Cellars is part of the 2026 Great Lakes Tour.

With a smoky voice and emotionally raw lyricism, Michigan-based singer/songwriter Tali Snowden blends blues, jazz, and rock influences into her signature acoustic-driven sound. Originally from Austin, Texas, Snowden’s roots run deep, tracing from her family’s musical background to years of performing across the Midwest and beyond. After debuting her first solo EP in 2024, Tali returns with “Keep Trying,” a soulful new single that captures both the grit and grace that define her artistry.

Join us for our second annual house plant swap! Plan on a fun, low-key event to share house plants and make some new planty friends!
How does a plant swap work? Bring healthy, pest-free houseplants or cuttings to share with others and be prepared to chat, trade & learn! We encourage you to arrive close to when the event starts as there will be time to browse all the plants before the swapping begins.
Our hosts, Shelly and Carey, will provide materials to label your plant(s) when you arrive. There will also be a $5 raffle for a mystery plant to take home as well as some giveaways. And again, there will be no plants for sale at this event - trades only!
PizzaMI will also be set up from 12-4pm slinging pizza!
