Sam & Ruby 
The Ark, Ann Arbor.
He's a Midwesterner from Green Bay, Wis. She's a musical artist from Ghana, West Africa. Together, the acoustical talents and soulful vocals of Sam & Ruby blend into a relaxed and honest sound. It's been most popularly recognized in their work "Heaven's My Home," a 2007 Grammy-nominated song that was the main feature on the soundtrack for The Secret Life of Bees. And 2009 was a breakout year for the Nashville-based duo, as their album, The Here and the Now, drew rave reviews and a place in the Associated Press's Top 10. Sam Brooker and Ruby Amanfu kicked off 2010 with a performance at the Sundance Film Festival and by winning the Sirius XM's "Coffee House" singer-songwriter of the year award. They open for bluesman Jackie Greene at the Ark, 316 S. Main St., Ann Arbor; 734-761-1451; $20; doors at 7:30 p.m.

Lost Landscapes of Detroit
Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit (MOCAD), Detroit.
Comprised of archival film clips taken from newsreels, industrial movies and amateur films from the '20s through the '60s, Lost Landscapes of Detroit reveals images from a disappearing Detroit. But far from a nostalgia-fest, the screening is designed to be an interactive exploration of how Detroit's past can inform its future. Audience members are encouraged to shout out questions, observations and lessons learned as the ephemera of earlier times roll by. The clips are from the Prelinger Archives, started by archivist Rick Prelinger in 1983 and passed on to the Library of Congress in 2002 when it had reached more than 200,000 items. Prelinger will be on hand to give a brief talk before the screening on the value of forgotten films and the fluid nature of shared memory. At 7 p.m. at the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit, 4454 Woodward Ave., Detroit; 313-832-6622; free.
