SUMMARY:BIG BANG STRING THING
DESCRIPTION:BIG BANG STRING THING \nIt’s rare when the word acoustic conjures thoughts of music that can electrify the jump in your feet. Then again\, BBST is a rare group\, and an impressive collective of musical might. Energetic\, contagious\, and flat out fun\, BBST weaves a sizzling thread through multiple genres to deliver a tapestry of award-winning original music that defies one description\,yet\, connects with everyone. Perhaps that has a something to do with the fact that BBST is made up of veteran musicians who have toured\, recorded\, or shared the stage with Leo Kottke\, The String Cheese Incident\, Lyle Lovett\, The Smashing Pumpkins\, Darol Anger\, Mike Marshall\, John Hartford\, U2\, Asleep at the Wheel\, Garbage\, Willy Porter\, Riders in the Sky\, The Radiators\, David Grisman\, Alex DeGrassi\, Doc Watson\, Carrie Newcomer\, and Merl Saunders and the Rainforest Band to name a few. Or\, it could simply be that Big Bang String Thing knows how to craft a great sound. \nTHE BAND: \nBob Westfall (mandolin\, guitar\, vocals\, songwriting) has studied and worked with some of the top acoustic players in the country -Darol Anger\, Mike Marshall\, John Hartford\, and Alex DeGrassi. But\, while these influences are certainly evident\, Westfall’s songwriting are uniquely his own. An award-winning mandolinist\, Bob grew up in Texas and Minnesota\, and his style incorporates the best elements of storytelling with a hybrid jazz/pop/worldbeat/bluegrass feel. \nThe husband and wife team of Mary Gaines(bass) and Chris Wagoner (violin) provide the bottom and top of the BBST sound\, and have appeared in performance and on recordings with Westfall for over fifteen years. Gaines and Wagoner have similarly diverse backgrounds — formal classical training at the Univ. of WI\, jazz studies with the great bassist\, Richard Davis\, followed by years of performing and recording with jazz\, blues\, rock\, and folk artists and songwriters.

SUMMARY:MADISON MALONE
DESCRIPTION:Born in the wonderful Wisconsin city that matches her name\, MADISON MALONE was immersed into an obsession with music immediately in her childhood. She traces back her love of music since the days of dancing and singing to The Beatles in her backyard of rolling hills in Portage\, WI. Madison started learning the piano at the age of 5\, writing music at the age of 12\, teaching herself guitar at 17 & is an alum of UW-Madison’s co-ed A cappella group\, Redefined. She is also a teacher at Madison’s Girls Rock Camp!\n\nMadison Malone calls her music soulful-pop because she believes that by putting her soul into everything\, honesty can be emulated in her story-telling & songwriting. The 21-year old believes that music is one of those few mediums of which almost all humans can relate. Whether it be rhythm\, the sound waves\, lyrics\, the movements of the musician\, or just the brilliance & comfort it produces while being performed\, music can connect the world on some sort of common ground. Madison has a driven passion to use & create music in her community and the world in order to inspire those that she crosses paths with. She wishes to show others that music can be this incredible\, spellbinding outlet where we can escape and turn all of our aspirations into reality.\n\n Check her out on Facebook.

SUMMARY:SIMON BALTO
DESCRIPTION:Back at the Carpe after a sold-out Lamplighter Session with Peter Mulvey and Count This Penny in December\, SIMON BALTO returns to offer an exclusive listen to the songs from his forthcoming album\, Murmurations. \nNational and international critics alike have compared his songcraft to many of the greats: Dylan\, Prine\, Baez\, Guthrie\, and others. \nWisconsin Public Radio’s Simply Folk host Stephanie Elkins described his writing as having ‘caught [her] by the side…and knocked [her] over.’ \nNo Depression magazine described his voice as ‘butter and honey’. \nThe Chicago-based promotional collective Music Means Family wrote that\, ‘There is a deeply satisfying component to each of his songs – a reminder of home\, woodsmoke\, and the first traces of your breath as winter begins to settle.’ \nThe evening will feature two sets of music from Balto. One will be songs from his first record (the acclaimed The Roads that Make Men Weary) and some favorite covers. The other will be an exclusive opportunity to hear his forthcoming record\, played in its entirety\, front-to-back\, stripped down to one man and a guitar. The record will be released later this year. People at the Carpe that night will be the first to hear many of these songs.

SUMMARY:THE SUITCASE JUNKET
DESCRIPTION:THE SUITCASE JUNKET is a one-man tour de force out of Western Massachusetts. Matt Lorenz — aka Suitcase Junket — has been road dogging for three years\, solo and with his band Rusty Belle\, touring with Chris Smithers\, David Wax Museum\, and Peter Mulvey. He’s got a powerful new CD out called Make Time.\n\n\nMatt plays a collection of leather satchels\, baby shoes\, oil cans\, cast-iron kettles\, sticks\, bones\, and a ragged guitar he had pulled out of someone’s trash. At first the novelty is mesmerizing\, then the music is. Suitcase finds extreme sounds — the wicked grind of a guitar \, the vintage buzz of an old mic\, the wild insect drone in the throes throat singing  — and uses them to forward his restless skinny road-dog blues-playing big-hair cause. The boy has stories to tell.\n\n\nPeter Mulvey and many others sing Matt’s praises on a collection of various media\, including in-person speech\, echo chambers\, telephone\, shouting from the mountain tops and social media.\n\n\nMatt is a Vermont born musician\, visual artist and tinkerer\, and a professional showoff. “I aim to write good songs and sing them honestly” says Lorenz. He does that and more. The Suitcase Junket’s artistic vision is one of salvaged and repurposed objects\, images and emotions. His innovative junk-percussion constructions\, original album art featuring inanimate objects with wings\, and the high craft of his songwriting all combine to create a unique and engaging entity with a force and style all its own. Lorenz’s self-taught throat-singing adds a fascinating edge to the overall sound. “I’m interested in the hidden voices that reside within things: the songs stuck inside instruments\, the story behind the object\, the mysterious weight of a word\, the harmonic sequence that’s in every note waiting to be broken as light through a prism.”\n\nLorenz tours The Suitcase Junket nationally playing on festival stages and city street corners\, in concert halls and dive bars\, in living rooms and listening rooms. The sound isn’t easy to pin into a genre\, but The Suitcase Junket is often likened to Tom Waits\, The Black Keys and Andrew Bird. Lorenz’s songwriting is unexpected\, powerful and poignant\, drawing from the deep well of the American musical traditions of folk\, rock\, blues and storytelling\, all sharpened with a keen pop sensibility. With masterful command over instruments of his own creation\, he silences a room with the first notes of his throat singing and holds the crowd until the final chords of his guitar. When he plays you get the sense that he is truly playing and that he’d be doing it just as joyfully with or without an audience. \nThe Suitcase Junket has self-released two albums: Sever and Lift (2009) and Knock It Down. (2011) The third album\, Make Time\, came out on January 6\, 2015. “The band” is built around a resurrected dumpster-diamond guitar\, an old oversized suitcase\, a hi-hat\, a gas-can baby-shoe foot-drum\, a cookpot-soupcan-tambourine foot-drum\, a circular-saw-blade bell and a box of bones and silverware that operate much like a hi-hat. He pounds out rhythms with his feet and his twang-and-buzz guitar growls through a couple of old tube amps. On top of all this is the ethereal edge of his overtone throat-singing. This act is unique and not to be missed.”Make Time truly travels to various destinations of musical fortitude and emotion[…]It’s one hell of a ride that holds its resonance well after the record has stopped spinning.” – No Depression. \n“If croons could kill\, this one-man band would be a bounty hunter. Armed with a unique\, self-sufficient approach to raw instrumentation\, The Suitcase Junket is an artisan of song\, bending\, forging and sharpening each piece into an emotional tool.” -Performer Magazine. \n“His songs have a sense of beauty about them and are delivered with such forceful sound you can’t believe you aren’t listening to a full band.” – Greenfield Recorder

SUMMARY:JENN RAWLINGS/ AWNA TEIXEIRA/ HUCK NOTARI
DESCRIPTION:THE HEARTLAND’S SPRING TOUR 2015 \nVintage folk\, heartfelt country balladry\, and a side of accordion- you don’t want to miss songwriters Awna Teixeira (of Po girl)\, Huck Notari\, (from Portland\, OR)\, & Jenn Rawling (Midwest born) as they croon their way across the Midwest for just 3 weeks this May. It’s a rare songbird migrating for this limited edition of time. I’d grab this\, hold it close\, and call it the geode of evenings. \nAWNA TEIXEIRA -​​Portuguese Canadian\, Awna Teixeira has been touring steady in different bands since 2001. Awna’s songs convey that classic old time feel of back porch spirituals. Crossing borders with her Portuguese upbringing\, you can also hear her tales of heartache and travel through accordion driven European folk. While performing primarily on banjo\, accordion\, guitar\, Awna has added playing percussion with her feet both on Tambourine and an old suitcase. She is releasing her second full length album ‘Wild One’ March 2015.\n“Dark vivid lyrical imagery\, beautifully layered instrumentation\, delicate yet fierce vocals”\n-Santa Fe New Mexican\nJENN RAWLING-​ Vintage American Folk singer/songwriter Jenn Rawling composes highly melodic songs from fascinating scraps of images and phrases\, singing them with a vibrant\,immediately engaging yodel-edged alto. Rawling’s playful\, poetic lyrics are enhanced by her sophisticated sense of phrasing and pace.\n“A rare songwriter whose varied and distinctive melodies trace the calls of birds and the motion of honey bees. Her songs don’t connect the dots- they leap\, and the intuitive connections she makes are so true that she takes us with her. “ Andrew Calhoun\, Waterbug  Records\nHUCK NOTARI -​is best described as Original Country Folk. Steeped in the authenticity of time gone by\, he draws his listeners into a timeless place of old values. Growing up in the White Mountains of New Hampshire and living the mountain life deeply impacted Huck.

Huck lives in Portland\, OR and plays regularly in the Northwest.\n“Huck is one of the finest songwriters in America today – songs full of truth and peace – they do what songs ought to do” – Samantha Parton\, The Be Good Tanyas

SUMMARY:SONG SWAP w/ JIM BARNARD/ DANA PERRY (Dakotah Rose had to cancel) / TIM COUGHLIN JR.
DESCRIPTION:JIM BARNARD is a singer-songwriter with strong contemporary folk and blues roots. His alluring melodies and engaging lyrics are wrapped in expressive vocals and a soulful\, distinctive\, finger-style guitar. \nJim’s warmth and humor on stage make an instant connection with any adult audience. His smooth-textured vocals and vibrant acoustic guitar artistry often draw comparisons from listeners to James Taylor or Charlie Rich. Lyrics that explore themes ranging from lost and found love to the foibles of the human condition have evoked audience thoughts of John Prine or Bruce Cockburn. From comic to cosmic\, his repertoire is punctuated with performances that beg for an encore. \nHis debut CD\, “Artificial Flowers”\, released in 2013\, was received with high acclaim. Jim’s bluesy composition\, “Baby Please Baby Me” is featured on the Madison Songwriter’s compilation CD\, “Made at Home”. \nJim’s music is woven from diverse influences that include Bob Dylan\, James Taylor\, Chris Smither\, Randy Newman\, Keb Mo\, Bonnie Rait\, Bruce Cockburn\, Shawn Colvin\, James McMurtry\, John Prine\, Leon Russel\, Dave Van Ronk\, and Ella Fitzgerald. \nTIM COUGHLIN\, JR. is a singer-songwriter\, multi-instrumentalist\, and recording artist from small town Wisconsin and Illinois\, who has come to find his home in Madison\, WI. Having been an active musician in various bands and projects across a wide range of genres since the age of sixteen\, Coughlin’s solo music stands as a focused effort to show the world his own sound as it has developed over the last ten years\, and on into the future. It is expressed as a varied blend of new and old\, indie and roots\, landing somewhere between influences like Gary Higgins and Conor Oberst. \nIn November 2014 he started work with engineer Will Bailey recording his first LP – “Dark Rooms” – from his home studio in Madison\, WI. A follow-up to the debut “How?” EP released in early 2014\, the album features the sort of introspective\, moody folk heard on “How?” but with a more developed\, experimental\, approach and sound. Released in early 2015\, “Dark Rooms” brings the project a step forward\, and shows a fuller picture of things to come. \nHis live show is raw and improvisational while still remaining faithful to the sound heard on the recorded work. Occasionally featuring friends and musical co-conspirators he has met along the way\, every show is unique in its own right. Tim Coughlin Jr. always promises a memorable experience for the listener to take home with them. \nSadly\, Dakotah had to bow out and DANA PERRY will be the third performer.\nDAKOTAH ROSE started singing as a 4-year-old at an upright piano in a living room. Almost twenty years later\, it looks very similar. Dakotah has been playing piano\, singing and song-writing all her life and picked up the guitar around the age of 12. She took piano lessons for 10 years\, making her piano style heavily influenced by classical music. Her youngest musical influence was her father\, who also wrote songs and was heavily influenced by folk music from the 60s era and Rock and Roll from the 70s. She was lucky enough to be introduced to the music of Joni Mitchell at the ripe age of 13\, and followed the trend of looking up to other strong female musical leads like Regina Spektor\, Amanda Palmer\, Grace Slick and Fiona Apple. A strong believer in the power of femininity and woman roles in the music realm\, she likes to experiment with her playing styles and her listening ear\, believing that all things are inter-connected and all genres can learn from one another. Like all areas of music and life\, she believes in expressions\, not impressions\, and that good\, free and wild things in life come with openness and playfulness. Her efforts and intentions are to use music as a vessel to emulate this. \n

SUMMARY:JEFFREY FOUCAULT
DESCRIPTION:JEFFREY will be appearing with BILLY CONWAY on this special Memorial Day show.  Close out your holiday with some food and fine music. \nTHE NEW YORKER:\n“Jeffrey Foucault\, sings stark\, literate songs that are as wide open as the landscape of his native Midwest.” \nMOJO:\n“Songwriting brilliance.” \nTHE IRISH TIMES:\n“Quietly brilliant…” \nUNCUT:\n“The music of Wisconsin native Foucault is the kind so many aspire to but never attain: beat-up troubadour folk whittled to dolorous perfection…” \nLauded for ‘…stark\, literate songs that are as wide open as the landscape of his native Midwest.’ (The New Yorker) and described as ‘Quietly Brilliant’ (The Irish Times)\, Jeffrey Foucault has released four collections of original songs under his own name\, and two full-band collaborations with contemporary poet Lisa Olstein under the moniker Cold Satellite. His songs\, ‘Beat-up troubadour folk\, whittled to dolorous perfection’ (Uncut)\, mine the darker seams of American music to distill a terse amalgam of blues\, country\, rock ’n’ roll\, and folk. ” \nSN&R (SACRAMENTO NEWS & REVIEW):\n“Jeffrey Foucault is cut from the same cloth as John Prine… Like Prine his voice leans toward the gravelly but stops short of Dylan-esque mumble-grumble and has just a twinge of country. Also like Prine\, Foucault lyrically tends toward some surprising twists that illuminate the realities of contemporary life – songs like “Americans in Corduroys” from his Ghost Repeater album\, which mixes a honeymoon with commentary on war. He’s smart and pays attention to melody and a strong hook in his songs… a sure bet for a good show.” \nIn September of 2015 Jeffrey Foucault will release SALT AS WOLVES\, his fifth collection of original songs. Featuring Foucault’s longtime rhythm section Billy Conway (Morphine) on drums and Jeremy Moses Curtis (Booker T) on bass\, and reuniting him with legendary electric guitar player Bo Ramsey (Lucinda Williams\, Greg Brown)\, SALT AS WOLVES offers twelve tracks that exist out of time\, like a field recording of a place that never existed: a lean\, bold blues record that deftly weaves together disparate strands of sound and experience\, raw love and desperate wisdom.

SUMMARY:STRANGLED DARLINGS
DESCRIPTION:Thoughtful indie folk music (Americana doom pop) by people young\, hungry & in the area so why not come give them a listen? \nSTRANGLED DARLINGS brings a punk intensity to their live show. Taking a cello and making it a hip hop bass. Taking mandolin and slapping it like a stubborn mule. The Portland-based duo has been creating original tunes since 2009 and breaking the mold for what hipsters consider indie music. They bring a lyrical intelligence and political punch to songs that otherwise might have just been another break up song. Their song material focuses more on witchcraft in the Civil War\, the morality of Somali piracy and the curse of Anna Nicole Smith’s breast implants. The band has released three studio albums and a fourth is due out this fall. Their live show mixes technical mastery with deadpan humor and a little something to shake your rumpus.Strangled Darlings are on an extended US tour to support their upcoming 2014 release  of “Boom Stomp King”. The album focuses solely on the duo sound; the current touring set-up. Boom Stomp King is a record about objects\, shelter\, the ephemeral nature of your history.Strangled Darlings are George Veech on vocals\, mandolin\, harmonica and Jessica Anderly on vocals\, cello/bass­­­­­­­. \n\n\nThe band’s name derives from a William Faulkner quote about editing your creative process without sentiment. \n[the] music can feel organic and untethered\, but these numbers\, perhaps appropriately\, have the handcrafted aspect of American quilts — colorful\, stitched-to-each-other artifacts pieced together using the fabrics of dozens of other\, older garments. This allows for a richness in texture\, a sense of history and a sort of comfortable resonance with the past. Staccato circus-carny rap songs follow sweeping gypsy waltzes with Tom Waits edginess and the gangling grace of a Decemberists narrative.  — Sleeping Hedgehog\, March 2011 \n Seemingly unrelated genres converge into a dark and twangy mix of twisted freak folk\, Romany melodies\, Cab Calloway saunter\, Tom Waits murder ballads and everything in between\, all hammered out on a mix of traditional and modern instruments.  —Williamette Week March 2011

SUMMARY:CLAUDIA SCHMIDT
DESCRIPTION:More than 4 decades as a touring professional have found Michigan native  CLAUDIA SCHMIDT traversing North America as well as Europe in venues ranging from intimate clubs to 4\,000 seat theatres\, and festival stages in front of 25\,000 rapt listeners. She has recorded nineteen albums of mostly original songs\, exploring folk\, blues\, and jazz idioms featuring her acclaimed 12-string guitar and mountain dulcimer playing. \n“If it were the intention of the creator or creators of this universe to perfectly blend together the night sky with moon and stars\, it might have been their intention as well to deliver Claudia Schmidt as their messenger of reminder.  To say that Schmidt is simply a performer with a talent to entertain would be a miscarriage of understatement. Schmidt takes her audiences into her world as easily as the child who discovers the endless universes that exist in a cardboard box….. \nSchmidt weaves her way through her concert in much the same manner as a jester. Interwoven anecdotes\, revealing her past and present\, bring people to expect a relationship between themselves and memories driven deep with the passage of time. The concert is an endless display of self-realization through humor and longing\, leaving audience members yearning to become an integral part of her world.”  Door County Advocate \n

SUMMARY:THE *HITUNAUTS- SABIEN PORTER CAMPLIN MULVEY friday sold out
DESCRIPTION:SOLD OUT !!! Check for space on Saturday\n \n\n Not for the low-fat crowd- this is the cream of the crop of Wisconsin musicians. Strength in Voice\, Instrumentation\, Lyrics\, Entertainment\, these guys are VILE. \nWhat’s not to like- except them\, a bunch of knobs? \nI meant nauts.   “They will go as far as outer space to bring you the truth. I shit you not\, my friends.” \nUse the link above to reserve your seats. Treat yourself to a spectacular evening of music. \nWILLY PORTER PETER MULVEY BILL CAMPLIN RANDY SABIEN \nPeter explains it thus: \n“People\, this is the heart of what I do. I love to get musicians together and to play music in its raw\, conversational form. To listen\, to jump in without knowing exactly what comes next\, to be surprised and enlivened. This is the holy grail for me: to play music as though it’s happening offstage\, for pure joy and discovery and communication between friends and strangers. And over the past decade or so\, first in the winter at my hometown Cafe Carpe\, and then over the past three years at my home-away-from-hometown ClubPassim\, I’ve found a way to tease this kind of offstage music into an onstage situation: The Lamplighter Sessions. It changes every year\, but then\, don’t we all? Trust me\, you should get to one of these shows if you can. Lightning will strike.” \nPETER MULVEY – “master guitar wizard\, erudite song writer and just all around great guy. The depth in any Mulvey song is incredible from the mastery of tune & rhythm\, to the lyrics\, even down to the concept of his albums”. Whitney Luckett \nWILLY PORTER\n“Porter plays intelligent\, groove — heavy folk with hearty abandon”\n— Santa Fe New Mexican \n“With his exquisite\, tranquil guitar work\, Willy Porter could easily astonish an audience without singing one note. His ability to engage the audience with his personality and intellect raises Porter from the level of guitar wonk into the realm of masterful performer.”\n— Earvolution \n“Willy Porter is a relaxed and fearless performer who’ll entertain you as well as move you.”\n— Acoustic Guitar Magazine\n“Porter accentuates well – rendered tales with spit – fire – percussive acoustic guitar strumming and fiery color – chord picking.”\n— Billboard \n“[Willy Porter] can captivate an audience as completely as can an entire rock band.”\n— Washington Times \nRANDY SABIEN is no stranger to our stage\, and no stranger than anyone else who has graced it. He regularly steps beyond the boundaries of what many think of as jazz\, forging headlong into the worlds of rock\, blues and funk. His career began with classical violin lessons\, he soon picked up fiddling and from there it was only natural he would find himself playing along with his favorite rock tunes. Then at age 19 he was reborn with the discovery that you could play jazz on the violin. The resulting sound is swinging\, rocking\, rhythmic and bluesy with a fiddle that often plays more like a saxophone than a violin. There are shades of Duke and Miles and you can certainly hear the echoes of the great jazz violinists from the swing era but above all\, Randy is a product of his time – someone who grew up playing the violin while immersed in the music of the 60s and 70s. \n“Jazz violinists usually draw from one of two traditions. The best of both can be found in the superb Randy Sabien… he combines classical technique and folk energy in a program that’s still strictly jazz. ” USA TODAY \nBILL CAMPLIN is no stranger to our stage or to Willy or Peter or Randy\, who has admitted in weaker moments to enjoying accompanying Bill. Bill is a fine lad with a fine voice\, but give him JimBeam instead of djembe. Oh yeah\, by the way- “the best singer no one has ever heard of”.

Whitney Luckett \nPAUL CEBAR Some idea of what Paul is about: “Milwaukee native Paul Cebar is a singing\, strumming\, and dancing museum of musical culture and a self-styled historian of myriad musical forms. Countless sounds pour forth when Cebar and his Milwaukeeans take the stage. New Orleans\, Chicago\, New york\, Africa\, Brazil\, Cuba\, jump-blues\, gospel\, jazz\, reggae\, calypso\, soul and vintage R&B are sterting points for something that becomes uniquely Cebar. This mishmash helps reimagine and liven up obscure classics\, and the band’s originals present new viewpoints on established styles.” The Onion AV Club \nWILLY PORTER\n“Porter plays intelligent\, groove — heavy folk with hearty abandon”\n— Santa Fe New Mexican \n“With his exquisite\, tranquil guitar work\, Willy Porter could easily astonish an audience without singing one note.

SUMMARY:JIM & VIVIAN CRAIG and FRED CAMPEAU and MITCH THOMAS
DESCRIPTION:Mitch Thomas and Fred Campeau and Jim and Vivian Craig have put together an ukeclectic show that promises to bring a smile\, and maybe a tear or two. \nIn addition to their tight vocal blending\, the foursome stretch out with some instrumental surprises: Viv and Mitch on ukuleles\, Fred on guitar\, banjo\, and Hawaiian resonator guitar\, and Jim on concertina\, guitar\, and bass ukulele (yes\, you read that right). There’ll be old songs\, blue songs\, and some new songs\, written by Jim and Viv. \nFred Campeau and Mitch Thomas have been a team since the early 70’s\, when they met while both were performing around Chicago. Fred plays guitar\, banjo\, fiddle and harmonica\, and was a long-time member of the Volo Bogtrotters. In addition to playing guitar\, banjo and ukulele\, Mitch teaches choir\, theater and uke\, and is a two-time winner of the Wheatland Festival Folksinging Contest. \nJim and Vivian Craig have been harmonizing for almost forty years. When not loosely affiliated with Mitch and Fred\, Jim and Viv perform with Chicago-based Na Mele Aloha\, an Hawaiian music ensemble. \nAny of you who used to frequent the Green Dragon would have fond memories of them all.

SUMMARY:CAITLIN CANTY
DESCRIPTION:CAITLIN CANTY makes her Carpe debut and you want to be there. PLEASE CALL TO RESERVE. \nCaitlin Canty delivers her songs with a 1930’s Recording King guitar and a dusky alto\, painting the line between joy and pathos with uncanny precision and power.  Raised in small-town Vermont\, the daughter of a school teacher and a house painter\, she spent a decade in New York City as a performer and as the first employee of the successful Artists Den series. She released RECKLESS SKYLINE (January 2015) produced by acclaimed songwriter Jeffrey Foucault\, featuring an all-star band on twelve songs that veer nimbly between country ballads and straight-up rockers\, dark blues and sparsely arranged folk. \nBoth on the road and on her unreleased new album\, Caitlin Canty teams with some of the finest musicians in the world – including members of Morphine\, Booker T\, Cold Satellite\, and Ray LaMontagne’s Pariah Dogs – to create a sound that harnesses the grit and spark at the very heart of American music.  \n“The Vermont native with a casually devastating voice and unshakable poise is bound to be the next great Americana star” – San Francisco Chronicle \n“Reckless Skyline manages to combine elements of folk\, blues\, country and rock without sounding unfocused” – AllMusic\n“Hear a stirring\, pedal steel-powered pep talk from a Vermont-born\, Nashville-bound songwriter” – NPR Music \n“A delight… Fine songwriting on an album of 12 really strong songs” – The Telegraph \n“This is going to be a big year for Caitlin Canty. The Vermont-raised singer-songwriter has an Appalachian grit that informs her record\, Reckless Skyline” – The Bluegrass Situation \n“With her vintage guitar and rootsy rock style\, Caitlin Canty makes a sound all her own on her dynamite new album Reckless Skyline” – Philadelphia Inquirer \n“Tapping into blues\, country\, mountain ballads\, and roots rock\, Canty’s songs have an elemental sound – reflecting the influence of such songwriters as Lucinda Williams\, Gillian Welch\, Johnny Cash and Tom Petty.”\n– Jeffrey Pepper Rodgers\, Acoustic Guitar \n“As good as it gets” – PopDose  \nShe will be appearing here with guitarist/ pedal steel player ERIC HEYWOOD\,  who has worked with artists such as Son Volt\, Richard Buckner\, the Jayhawks\, Ray LaMontagne\, Alejandro Escovedo\, Freakwater\, Calexico\, the Pretenders\, Kathleen Edwards and John Doe\, along with teen-pop singer Mandy Moore and Latino fusion band Yerba Buena.   \nPLEASE CALL TO RESERVE.

SUMMARY:MARE EDSTROM & KENN FOX/ Kellie Kuehl
DESCRIPTION:MARE & KENN will be joined by Jared Furnish on background vocals. \nMare Edstrom’s road to the blues has been long and interesting. While she is primarily classically trained\, her formative years were spent playing piano and singing in local rock bands. Her first album\, Learning How to Believe\, was a combination of finely-crafted original songs and carefully selected cover songs by legends of the singer-songwriter school. She brought a truly new perspective to songs by the likes of Townes van Zandt\, Eric Taylor\, Greg Brown\, and Janis Ian. This amazing work was quickly followed by a second release titled Inside the Blues. This release\, a blues tribute\, showcases works by Blind Willie McTell\, T-Bone Walker\, Muddy Waters\, and Blind Willie Johnson\, as well as works by female artists Memphis Minnie and Little Esther. This highly acclaimed work has found its way onto major radio station playlists throughout Europe and the US. Inside the Blues has had extensive favorable reviews\, including key reviews by Blues Revue magazine in the US and Crossroads magazine in France. Mare’s wide vocal range\, energy\, and vintage brand of roadhouse authenticity have been duly noted by critics again and again.  \nKelli Kuehl opens.

SUMMARY:FRED EAGLESMITH- SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:Leave message on the discussion board at BROWN PAPER TICKETS indicating you’d like a ticket if someone cannot use theirs. \nTickets will be sold via Brown Paper Tickets. \n \nThere are many reasons FRED is legendary.  \nEaglesmith\, a songwriter’s songwriter\, has a depth that is informed by miles of experience as a true road dog. Fred is not only the star of show but also the bus driver and chief mechanic while on tour\, keeping him and his band on the road. Unlike many of today’s artists\, touring is not something he does some of the time or only in support of a new record. Touring is his life and The Fred Eaglesmith Travelling Steam Show is one of the last full time travelling shows today. Their busy itinerary added up to more than 270 days on the road last year and saw Fred only returning home long enough to play a handful of local shows and to go into the studio to record the new album. \nA typical day in the life of Eaglesmith will find him driving an average of four to eight hours between shows in his converted 1990 Bluebird tour bus. He outfitted the bus with a system of filters and pumps which he designed himself to enable them to run on waste vegetable oil recycled from deep fryers in venues and restaurants along the road. This past year included seeing Fred astonish many local mechanics by changing his own blown bus transmission on the side of a highway in rural Alberta without missing one gig. \nAdding a touch of the theatrics to every show\, Eaglesmith dubbed his band The Traveling Steam Show and they began performing in steampunk-ish outfits a few years ago when he released his Latin-influenced rock album Cha Cha Cha. “It harkens back to the ’60s and ’70s variety shows that were on TV\,” Eaglesmith told the Albuquerque Journal. “It’s a show. It’s a lot more than a concert. I like to pay attention to what’s cutting edge and bring that into the live show.” \nAnd with such great attention to giving the best in his performances both live and recorded\, critics have taken notice. The Bend Bulletin praised Fred as “a singer-songwriter with a loyal fan base: a raconteur known for his funny stories and sometimes funny\, sometimes poignant songs…a figure to whom ‘entertainer\,’ ‘humorous’ and ‘original’ can be applied in equal measure.” And the Los Angeles Times\, in a live review\, noted: “Eaglesmith snarled out lyrics that underscore his overriding attitude that music and musicians ought to be cherished in the here-and-now and valued for the quality of their art\, not the size of their bank accounts or TV ratings.” \nEaglesmith’s songwriting has also earned him multiple International awards and his songs have been covered by some of the biggest names in Nashville including Toby Keith\, Alan Jackson and Miranda Lambert. His music has been featured in films and television scores including those of True Blood and Grimm. Fred and his band have also performed as the musical guest on Late Show With David Letterman. This past year has also seen the launch of a highly successful musical theatre production Dear Johnny Deere inspired by and based on Fred’s songs. \nDespite all of these accomplishments you are more likely to see him playing to 150 of his fans in a small town community hall rather than at a large capacity theatre or concert venue. Likewise it is more probable to hear about his next show via a hand-stencilled roadside sign and to find Fred sleeping in his bus in a Walmart parking lot or local campground over a 5-star hotel. \nFred will appear with TIF GINN
