SUMMARY:PETER MULVEY
DESCRIPTION:  Doors will open at 5:30. \nTo PETER MULVEY\, there is no such thing as a straight and narrow path. At least\, not one that he has any interest in taking. \nA 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. Whether solo or with longtime musical collaborator David “Goody” Goodrich at his side (coaxing unearthly sounds out of electric guitars and mandolins)\, Mulvey is someone who just naturally commands a stage: \n“Peter Mulvey is one of the most accomplished guitarists you’re ever likely to hear… utterly original… it is nigh on impossible to explain him to the uninitiated… his intelligent and sometimes complex songs engage both hemispheres of the listener’s brain… one of the finest\, most complete entertainers… stunning.” – THE IRISH EXAMINER \n“The cream of the crop sings with a clarity reserved for the likes of legends.” \n“Peter Mulvey is all substance\, which is his style.” \nPeter will have a new record almost in hand\, “Are You Listening?”\, produced by Ani DiFranco and available March 24 on Righteous Babe Records. \nPeter says\, “The work I do in this life has never felt so flimsy to me\, but it has also never felt so necessary. I’ve been trying to hold still in the middle of that tension\, and recently came across this helpful observation from Phil Ochs: “In such ugly times\, the true protest is beauty.” Ani and I and Todd Sickafoose and Terence Higgins and Anna Tivel did our level best to make something beautiful. I hope it reaches you. \nThanks.” \nSee ticket link above.

SUMMARY:MARK STUART

His focus is on the songs he has penned and recorded\, delivered with a soulful singing voice and highly memorable guitar playing. \nAfter many years on the Americana/Folk circuit\, Stuart has cultivated a very rounded performance. His show consists of storytelling\, flashy guitar “chops”\, and songs that seem to draw from his rock\, blues\, country\, and folk music roots.

There were stints along the way as a sideman\, though (Steve Forbert\, Freddy Fender\, Steve Earle\, Joan Baez).

SUMMARY:GAELYNN LEA/ ROD PICOTT
DESCRIPTION:Two special performers share the evening- please call to reserve at 920-563-9391. \nGAELYNN LEA is a musician from Duluth\, MN. She has been playing violin for over twenty years. First classically trained\, she began learning traditional Celtic and American fiddle tunes at the age of 18. During her college years Gaelynn started sitting in with various folk/rock musicians and developed an improvisational style all her own. Eventually she also began singing and dabbling in songwriting. Gaelynn has played alongside many notable Minnesota musicians over the years\, including Alan Sparhawk\, Charlie Parr\, and Billy McLaughlin. \nGaelynn Lea has been actively performing throughout Northern Minnesota and Wisconsin since 2006\, contributing to a number of musical projects in the Twin Ports. Currently her most active collaboration is The Murder of Crows\, an atmospheric alternative duo with Alan Sparhawk. Together they recorded an EP titled “Imperfecta” in 2012. Their original song “When We Were Young” was featured on the Sundance Channel’s acclaimed drama “Rectify” in June 2014. Gaelynn also regularly performs solo sets of experimental fiddle tunes sprinkled with her original songs; her aim is to create a meditative\, layered sound that allows the listener’s mind to drift. \n“Karen Dalton and Joanna Newsom melt together in the form of Gaelynn Lea and set about absolutely obliterating your heart.”  -Dan Auerbach (The Black Keys) \n“The way her voice resonates is so unusual and beautiful\, like nothing I’ve ever heard before.”   -Jess Wolfe (Lucius) \nThe son of a welder from rural New England\, ROD PICOTT is a masterful songwriter and soulful singer who carries with him as fine a suitcase of songs as you’ll find anywhere. Slaid Cleaves\, Ray Wylie Hubbard and Fred Eaglesmith have recorded Rod Picott songs. A former construction worker who hung up his tools when he released his debut CD in 2000\, Picott has carved a career for himself with a run of 6 beautifully crafted self released CDs over the last 13 years and a well earned reputation as a engaging\, emotion fueled performer.\nHang Your Hopes On Crooked Nail\, produced by RS Field [Billy Joe Shaver\, Justin Townes Earle\, Hayes Carll] is a collection of carefully crafted songs of rugged truth and beauty. Recorded at Joe Pisapia’s [KD Lang\, Guster] Middletree Studios in East Nashville the CD highlights Picott’s particular gift for exploring complex themes in common language. The eleven songs on Hang Your Hopes On a Crooked Nail offer an unblinking albeit wry gaze into our common heart and a clenched fist of defiance against the trials that tear at our humanity. \n“Accept Rod Picott for what he is; Americana of the highest order”    Julian Piper/ Acoustic Magazine \n“Gems that finely balance despair\, desire and optimism with dexterity    Arthur Wood/Maverick Magazine \n“Hangdog lyrics and deadpan delivery have the ability to strike a chord with anyone who has a heart.”    Alison Stokes/Country Music People \nPlease call to reserve at 920-563-9391.

SUMMARY:JOHN STATZ
DESCRIPTION:(NOTA BENE: The Irish Session will not be held tonight- moved to Tuesday March 7.) \nWisconsin-born songwriter JOHN STATZ is working on a new recording project\, the follow-up to his acclaimed TULSA\, produced by JEFFREY FOUCAULT.  John describes what this endeavor may include: \n“I have been writing love songs lately\, specifically about the kinds of romantic love that burn. Namely\, all of them. When we first enter a new relationship we are filled with burning desire. Sometimes we later take those same relationships for granted and seemingly burn right through them. At the end we might find ourselves literally burning old love notes\, or simply bridges\, which turns out to be an excellent time to listen to that fire in our bellies. Hit the road\, see something new\, spend time on ourselves before striking a new match.” \nWhat people say: \n“John Statz writes songs you can’t shake. They follow you around all day and run through your head at 3 a.m. Open-hearted\, horizon-line songs.”– Jeffrey Foucault” \nStatz uses the spaces in between the lyrics to cast his haunting spell of longing and lost ways.” – Guitar World’s Acoustic Nation \n“John writes the kind of songs that float through your mind\, seeking purpose and stay nestled in your thoughts long after listening.” – American Songwriter \n“…lush melodies and a sense of time\, space and place dominate his work\, creating a sound that stops the listener in his or her tracks and once there\, holds them spellbound… More than merely a set of songs\, it holds together conceptually\, making it the kind of album that figures to be a landmark of sorts in Statz’s still smoldering career. It’s simply that good.” – PopMatters  \n“This is a modern musical travelogue; a diary of different moments and places\, captured in words and lyrics…HIGHLY RECOMMENDED” – PopDose  \n“John Statz follows a guitar echo over the open plains of Oklahoma to reach into ‘Tulsa’\, the title track from his upcoming release. Once the tale catches up with the slow echo of rolling rhythm rumble\, it starts to head west out of the Sooner state.” – The Alternate Root (named “Tulsa” a “Top 10 Song of the Week”) \nPlease call 920-563-9391 to reserve.

SUMMARY:BEN FRANKLIN & BARON von STEUBEN vs. the PAINE COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD
DESCRIPTION:Individuals of all political persuasions invoke the “Founding Fathers” to justify their positions – but have you ever wondered what the Founding Fathers themselves would think? \nThat’s the question at the heart of Ben Franklin & Baron von Steuben vs. the Paine County School Board\, the latest play from TAPIT/new works Ensemble Theater. The play is in two acts with a ten-minute intermission. \nThe play is inspired by a little-known historical fact – Baron von Steuben\, the Revolutionary War hero credited with transforming the Continental Army into a force capable of beating the British\, was a gay man. When a history teacher in the fictitious Paine County School District teaches this\, and conservative school board members get wind of it\, the stage is set for dramatic confrontation. \nAll this proves a bit much for Franklin and von Steuben\, who’ve been observing the action from the Great Beyond. They decide to risk intervening in contemporary affairs to set the record straight\, successfully transforming controversy into comedy and demonstrating that even if history doesn’t repeat itself\, it will still try almost anything to get your attention. \nWritten by Danielle Dresden\, Ben Franklin & Baron von Steuben vs. the Paine County School Board is directed by Stephen F. Murray and performed by Francisco Torres\, Krystal Lonsdale\, Liz Light\, Issac Brieske\, Donna Peckett\, and Dresden. \nPlease call 920-563-9391 to reserve.

SUMMARY:JOHN ELLIOTT
DESCRIPTION:JOHN ELLIOTT  writes gripping stream-of-consciousness songs that often take unexpected turns en route to delivering a powerful message. Chuck Schiele of The San Diego Troubadour wrote about Elliott’s lyrics: “They get in\, make their statement\, kick you in the teeth\, and get out before they start talking too much…And this lends to the urge of rolling any track to its beginning for another spin.” \nA native of Minnesota who now resides in California\, Elliott began playing at various Hollywood venues in 2001\, had expanded throughout southern California by 2003\, and later became a nationally touring artist. He has performed in several countries and every state except Hawaii. His music has been featured on hit TV shows including Grey’s Anatomy and Californication\, as well as in PASTE Magazine\, on NPR and Neil Young’s “Living With War” website. \nIn the last decade\, he has released eight genre-less studio albums on his own record label (Garland Lane) to an ever-expanding audience. All can be streamed at his website (www.thehereafterishere.com/ recordings). The newest releases are an unedited live performance (“Live in Austin”) and a compilation (“The Greatest Recordings According to Me: 2003-2013”). Both are available for purchase at shows on USB drives. John is trying to ever-so-gently do his part to end the compact disc. \nJohn also produces an almost monthly podcast of sorts called “Audiodes.” Audiodes defy explanation and must be heard to be understood (seven are included on the USB compilation). They include interviews\, meditations\, sound collages\, alternative versions of already released songs\, covers\, and more. Audiode Six is a stripped down\, acoustic rendering of his “Good Goodbyes” album; Audiode Fourteen is a new concept album about technology called “21st Century Bicycle.” \nPlease call 920-563-9391 to reserve.

SUMMARY:MARK FURST
DESCRIPTION:Mark is a native of Ireland who has lived in many varied places from London to the back woods of Tennessee but settled in 2001 with his lovely wife Janice here in Fort Atkinson. Being the son of a classical violinist/orchestra conductor\, hearing and appreciating music was always part of life\, however attempts at actually playing music while a youngster were not so successful. Practicing is WORK\, so making music was put on the back burner but the urge to make music has lasted through the years. In his early teens\, listening to radio Caroline (a pirate radio station broadcasting from international waters in the North Sea) exposed Mark to the wonders of early Pink Floyd\, Yes\, Genesis\, King Crimson and other progressive rock bands which have formed the basis of his musical tastes. Since then many other genres have opened up\, including Punk\, Blues\, Funk\, Bluegrass\, Electronica/Ambient and so many World Music influences it would be hard to list. \nYears on now the urge to make music still is there but not in a formal “learn this tune” approach so much as a “try this and see what happens” style. Along these lines Mark performed at the Carpe back in 2015 in the band FOMA with local friends Robert Preston and Carl Armstrong  which had a certain “free-form” approach to it. \nThis upcoming solo performance will incorporate guitar and synthesizer melodies using heavy effects and looping. The nature of using effects and electronics means that there is an element of improvisation which opens up avenues for textural and rhythmic exploration. The Space Between Stars theme is a nod to Mark’s ongoing love of science\, particularly astronomy and the amazing age that we live in. \nPlease call 920-563-9391 to reserve.

SUMMARY:BILL MILLER
DESCRIPTION:Tickets sales will be set up through BROWN PAPER TICKETS. \nClick on this link: \n \nBILL MILLER is an award-winning Native American recording artist\, performer\, songwriter\, activist\, painter\, and world-class accomplished flute player. Over the entirety\, Miller has produced over a dozen albums\, received three Grammy Awards\, numerous NAMA awards (including a “Lifetime Achievement Award) and led Wisconsin’s La Crosse Symphony Orchestra. He is now touring in support of a recent collaboration album Look Again To The Wind: Johnny Cash’s Bitter Tears Revisited where Bill has the title track. \nA Mohican Indian from northern Wisconsin\, Bill Miller has long been one of the most admired figures in the Native American music arena and beyond. As an award-winning recording artist\, performer\, songwriter\, activist\, and painter\, he’s been a voice for the voiceless\, a link between two great and clashing civilizations. On Spirit Rain\, he walks the path of reconciliation in a set of fourteen heartfelt songs and evocative instrumentals. \nCo-produced by Bill and Michael von Muchow\, and written or co-written entirely by Bill\, Spirit Rain took the singer back to his roots. It was recorded at Actual Sound Studios in La Crosse\, WI\, not far from the Stockbridge-Munsee Reservation he called home. “It was very different from being in a media center like L.A. or Nashville\,” says Bill. “Everyone turned off their cell phones. My buddies and I would go fishing on the Mississippi River. The recording was low-tech too: 16-tracks\, no digital. I could have pushed it technically\, but I felt closer to the spirit doing it this way.” \nWith his new album\, Chronicles of Hope\, Bill hopes to further inspire fans\, both present and future. “My faith in my Creator leaves me content with the gifts I have\,” he says\, “and I use them to enrich the world through His blessings. I choose to bless people rather than curse them\, to be a peacemaker rather than a warmaker.” As songs like “The Promise” make clear\, Bill feels just as passionate about saving the environment of North America\, the land of his forebears. ” I think we should feel as if we’re living in the Garden of Eden\, and we should take care of the land\,” he says emphatically. “I’ll always use my music to urge people to preserve the land.” \nBill has an equally active career as a painter. His work has been shown and sold in prestigious galleries around the country\, and he maintains a studio at his Nashville home\, where he lives with his wife and children. With so busy a personal and professional life\, it would seem that Bill Miller could cruise ever onward in easy contentment. But artists don’t work that way. “I’ve been given a lot of second chances in my life\,” he says. “I’ve been through alcoholism and other problems. I was lifted out of the ditch\, and I still see a blue sky above. After years of living against the grain\, I see things as rivers\, creeks and rainstorms\, as the liquid layers of my life.” \nBill is really excited about a brand new ROY ORBISON project.  Roy’s sons want him to do a record honoring their father\, interpreting some of Roy’s songs and doing some of his own songs inspired by Roy. \nBill’s heart is now beating well- at 95% and on its way up after heart failure last April.  That kept him off the road for awhile and he is glad to be back at work. \nIn case you missed the link above:

SUMMARY:A ROSE AMONG THORNS
DESCRIPTION:Fort Atkinson’s own Perry Baird\, Jeff Mason\, Tom Cook and Erica Flyte return once more for an evening of eclectic old favorites and new music (to them anyway). Perry\, Tom and Jeff are all now retired from their day jobs leaving Erica as the only one officially working for a living. Truly “A Rose Among Thorns”.  As things go at least three of them are a little slower off of the couch\, but their minds and fingers remain sharp and nimble as ever. A collection of instruments from guitar\, fiddle and bass to banjo\, mandolin\, celtic bouzouki and mandocello will make an appearance along with the combined voices of all four. \nThey’ll wind their way through a mix of contemporary and traditional folk\, pop\, and blues tunes\, plus a few novelties of highly suspect origin. \nPlease call to reserve at 920-563-9391.

SUMMARY:THE SUITCASE JUNKET
DESCRIPTION:Don’t miss the amazing MATT LORENZ as the SUITCASE JUNKET.  Please call 920-563-9391 to reserve. \nTHE SUITCASE JUNKET is a one-man tour de force out of Western Massachusetts. Matt has been road dogging for three years\, solo and with his band Rusty Belle\, touring with Chris Smithers\, David Wax Museum\, and Peter Mulvey.  \nRemember the first day you heard The Suitcase Junket…his songwriting is extraordinary… this is one of the most exciting records I’ve heard in years.” -Vin Scelsa of Idiot’s Delight on WFUV and Sirius/XM \n“Armed with vintage 1950s amps and a guitar he salvaged from a dumpster\, an old\, oversized suitcase he plays with his heel as a bass drum\, a baby shoe hitting a gas can\, a cook pot\, a circular saw blade and a box of bones and silverware for added percussion\, he let it rip! In my favorite session of the year\, The Suitcase Junket performs ‘Earth Apple’ from his latest album\, Make Time.” – Linda Fahey\, NPR’s Favorite Sessions of 2015 \nThe Suitcase Junket will release his Signature Sounds debut\, Dying Star\, on March 4th. The 7- song E.P. features five songs recorded during the making of Lorenz’s acclaimed 2015 album\, Make Time\, and two live tracks recorded at Northampton MA’s The Parlor Room. With Dying Star\, The Suitcase Junket is poised to make the jump from one of New England’s best-kept roots star secrets\, to a household name. \nArtist\, tinkerer\, tunesmith\, swamp Yankee\, Matt Lorenz is a one-man salvage specialist singing into the hollow of a Dumpster guitar\, slipping a broken bottleneck onto the slide finger\, railing on a box of twisted forks and bones\, rocking till every sound is ragged at its edges\, till the house is singing back. Then\, unplugging all the amps and letting one mountain ballad soar over the raw strings on that guitar.On top of all this is the ethereal edge of his overtone throat-singing. \nEvery night is a hard-driving\, blues-grinding\, throat-singing search-and-rescue junket. Sooner or later everything rusts\, busts\, and gets tossed into the junk heap: iron\, bones\, leather\, hot rods\, muskrats\, the night\, the heart. The goal is to recover it. To waste nothing. To create new ways from old. This is The Suitcase Junket. \nMatt Lorenz was raised in Cavendish\, Vermont\, the son of teachers. He learned to sing by copying his sister Kate. (The siblings are two-thirds of the touring trio Rusty Belle.) Lorenz graduated from Hampshire College in Amherst\, Massachusetts\, in 2004\, having taught himself to throat-sing thanks to a South Indian cooking class. On moving day\, he pulled his guitar\, filled with mold and worse for wear\, from a dorm Dumpster. He fixed it up and started pulling songs out of it. That was the beginning. \nThe Suitcase Junket is filling rooms and drawing festival crowds all over his native New England and beyond\, from Signal Kitchen near the Canadian border to Wisconsin’s Mile of Music Festival\, from Ireland’s pubs to Mountain Jam in the Catskills\, from opening nights for Lake Street Dive and Charlie Musselwhite to Mountain Stage in West Virginia. He caught the attention of National Public Radio who chose his video session for “Earth Apple” from his 2015 album Make Time as one of the year’s favorite sessions. \nMatt has self-released three albums prior to Dying Star: Sever and Lift (2009) and Knock It Down. (2011) and Make Time (2015). \n“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.
