    Ukrainian Folk Quartet YAGODY at Night Eagle Cafe

    Night Eagle Cafe at the Savage Club and Lansing Area Performance Hall
    $35 in advance, $40 at the door day of show
    08:00 PM - 10:00 PM on Sat, 11 Apr 2026

    YAGODY is one of the most charismatic contemporary Ukrainian folk bands that has emerged in the past decade. Founded in Lviv, Ukraine, in 2016 by Zoryana Dybovska, YAGODY (meaning “berries”) is rooted in Ukrainian and Balkan musical traditions. However, the ensemble has created its own modern and gripping sound by showcasing theatrical singers supported by musicians playing on drums, percussion, guitar, bass, and accordion. From traveling across Eastern Europe, YAGODY is influenced by a diverse world of melodies, rhythms, and themes. A YAGODY performance is ritualistic and self-described as a musical trance based on the pulse of humanity.

    In 2020, YAGODY released its debut self-titled album, which features 10 songs based on Ukrainian and foreign folk music along with a music video for the song “Kalyna-Malyna.” In 2021, a music video for the single “Zelena Lishchyna” was released, followed by “Divonko” in 2022. In 2023, the band created its first original song, “Tsunamia,” which was chosen as the national selection for Ukraine at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2024.

    Tempest comes to the Night Eagle Cafe

    Night Eagle Cafe at the Savage Club and Lansing Area Performance Hall
    $25-30
    07:30 PM - 09:30 PM on Thu, 16 Apr 2026

    Night Eagle Productions welcomes Tempest to the Night Eagle at the Savage Club and Lansing Area Performance Hall in North Lansing on Thursday, April 16 at 7:30 pm.

    Since forming in 1988, Tempest has delivered a globally renowned hybrid of high-energy folk rock while fusing Irish reels, Scottish ballads, Norwegian influences, and other world music elements. The last 30-plus years have seen the San Francisco Bay Area-based act release 18 critically acclaimed albums and play more than 2,500 gigs. The current line-up of the band features all the original members performing a variety of selections from the band's extensive repertoire, all sparking with vitality and energy.

    Tempest is regularly featured at prestigious festivals such as The Philadelphia Folk Festival, and has also appeared at Denmark's Skagen Festival, Britain's Cropredy Festival, and The Winnipeg Folk Festival in Canada. The band is a mainstay at countless American Celtic and modern folk festivals as well.

    The tremendous energy that Tempest inspires you to expend is staggering…one of the best live shows I’ve seen in years. – Dirty Linen Magazine

    Tempest rocks, all right, but its forte is folk-rock with a decidedly Celtic accent, drawing on traditions stretching back hundreds of years. – Chicago Tribune
