This show has been added because all these fabulous people were still available to play and the other shows sold out. And now we have CARSIE BLANTON too. She happens to be a different gender from the other people on the stage.

A live-wire on any stage, PETER MULVEY is an acoustic singer/songwriter/guitarist who, in fact, defies this categorization. His ferocious guitar playing whisks him through more tunings than he has fingers in the course of an evening, as he winds his way from full-throated rockers to deceptively plain-spoken musings.

BILL CAMPLIN has been an integral part of the Wisconsin acoustic music scene for many years both as a performer and as co-owner of the Cafe Carpe. Bill is a strong guitarist with a beautiful tenor voice and he is noted for penetrating, intensely emotional performances of both his original songs and his interpretations of others such as Bob Dylan.

PAUL CEBAR– songwriter, singer, guitarist with a penchant for African, Latin American, Caribbean, R & B, jazz, New Orleans etc. music, host of WMSE’s radio show Way Back Home, “that allows him to dig into his extensive vinyl collection and pontificate about his various influences.”

“His oeuvre is every bit as impressive as that of more heralded singer-songwriters such as Nick Lowe and John Hiatt, and his brand new album, Fine Rude Thing, is one of the young year’s best.” Jeff Niesel, Cleveland Scene

CARSIE BLANTON

“Carsie Blanton is a rare talent as a modern songwriter, her sly wit and urbane imagery reminds me of a female Cole Porter. She paints a vivid landscape with lyrics that are deceptively conversational and at the same time surprisingly perceptive for a relatively new artist. I’m really happy to know that classic songwriting is in good hands with Carsie Blanton.”  John Oates (of Hall & Oates)

“Carsie’s lyrics are an iron fist in the velvet glove of her voice.”  Peter Mulvey
