When faced with the aftermath of roses, chocolates, chick flicks, and tissues, who among us wouldn’t have a love hangover on February 15? Writing and tutoring center 826michigan offers the perfect solution to your love woes with The Love Hangover, a mini-music festival featuring unconventional covers of famous love songs. The Love Hangover will be held at Woodruff’s Bar in Ypsilanti. Proceeds from the event benefit local nonprofit 826michigan and the Huron River Arts Initiative (HuRAI!).
Immediately preceding the Love Hangover, 826michigan will host a soup supper at Beezy’s restaurant in downtown Ypsilanti. For $10, attendees will receive a bowl of delicious Beezy’s soup, bread, and a beverage. Proceeds from this event also benefit 826michigan.
“The Love Hangover is one of our most unabashedly fun events every year,” said 826michigan Executive Director Amanda Uhle. “In the past we’ve had people tap-dancing, doing speedy covers of entire Weezer albums, playing with ‘Single Ladies’ in creative new formats, and many more memorable acts. ‘Feel-good’ might not be the first thing that comes to mind with the phrase ‘Love Hangover’, but it really is a feel-good event. The musicians and the crowd have a wonderful time and the funds go back to arts and creativity in the community.”
“Ann Arbor is one of five cities in the country that hosts a Love Hangover,” said Onna Solomon, a founding member of HuRAI! “This is our third year, but the tradition was started 12 years ago in Raleigh, North Carolina. I like to think we are part of a national movement to provide safe haven to the lovelorn masses out there who just want to hear a local crooner sing a cover of ‘More than Words’ by Extreme.”
The Huron River Arts Initiative, or HuRAI!, is a network of creative people based in Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti that provides support and resources to individuals and groups with interesting and innovative ideas who need help bringing them to fruition.
