SUMMARY:SONG SWAP w/ JIM BARNARD/ TRACY BECK/DAVE RAMONT
DESCRIPTION:Another song swap offering a variety of songwriters to sample. \nTRACY BECK performs a range from blues and folk to country and swing\, accompanying herself on guitar and harmonica. \nJIM BARNARD‘s original songs are rooted in contemporary folk/blues.  He provides an entertainment package of warmth\, humor\, finger-style guitar artistry\, alluring melodies and engaging lyrics. \nHis debut CD\, “Artificial Flowers”\, released in 2013 was received with high acclaim.  Jim’s blusey composition\, “Baby Please Baby Me” is featured on the Madison Songwriter’s compilation CD\, “Made at Home”. \nDAVE RAMONT   was born in Illinois one muggy\, August Tuesday with a song stuck in his head. The doctors couldn’t get it out. (He was also left-handed but they couldn’t fix that either.) He grew into a little kid and began listening to lots of vinyl- Simon & Garfunkel\, Stones\, Guess Who\, Dylan\, Gary Puckett. Soundtracks from “The Good\, The Bad\, And The Ugly” & “Jesus Christ Superstar”. Other hobbies included ruminating and kicking stuff down the street. Then he growed up more\, or at least he got taller… \nAfter releasing his first CD “Toaster Reflection” he moved to Austin\, TX for a time and soaked up the thriving indy music scene –playing open mics\, songwriter showcases\, and driving a bakery truck. His songs began receiving some airplay. The Austin Chronicle said “The world could always use another quality singer-songwriter with meaty lyrics\, gritty vocals and a tight back-up band.” \nDave returned North with a tad more twang (and a helluva hangover) and recorded the rootsy\, darker “Scofflaws”. The Illinois Entertainer said “…unlike many simplistic roots-revivalists\, Ramont isn’t afraid to mix things up…gorgeously unexpected accordions and cellos pop up on this wonderfully produced CD.” He continued playing gigs and teaching. And digging ditches. \nIn 2000 he released “Scrawny” and began receiving more widespread airplay in the US (mostly on public and college radio) and Europe. Richard Milne of WXRT in Chicago called it “a delicious collection of distinctly American music.” Mark Guarino of Chicago’s Daily Herald said it was “…the finest collection of songwriting I’ve heard in a long time.” Once again the guitar\, bass & drums core was surrounded by accordion\, cello\, piano\, Dobro\, mandolin\, dulcimer\, crowbar\, lap steel\, horns\, etc. He toured more extensively- Midwest\, East\, South\, Southeast- and became\, well\, sleepier… \nHe borrowed a banjo and co-founded the swamp-billy band Dick Smith with some musical pals. They recorded 4 CDs and developed a hardcore little following\, playing around the Chicago regions and the Midwest. Acoustic Guitar Magazine picked their record “Smoke Damage” (2002) as one of the top 3 indy releases of the year. Dave then stepped away from music for a few years. But a feller never stops thinking about new songs\, nope –even if he wants to… \nAt the end of 2009 -flying in the face of recession- Ramont released a sprawling double CD called “Taw”\, polished his 1967 Gibson J-50 and started playing out again. \nAnd now in 2012 he’s writing songs for a new record\, gigging\, and working with Dick Smith again. And when no one’s looking\, he still enjoys kicking stuff down the street now and again\, yep. \n

SUMMARY:KATIE BURNS
DESCRIPTION: Mineral Point (via Omaha) singer-songwriter KATIE BURNS will make her debut appearance here with Eric Miller on cello and John Birner on electric guitar.  Some of you may have heard Katie on the WPR 45 North last May  with author Dean Bakopoulos.  They performed their storylogues (Dean reads his stories in sections\, with Katie performing songs in between that go with the story) on radio stations\, and at art centers and book festivals.  Katie studied classical guitar in high school and majored in English and creative writing in college.  Her husband is an artisanal cheese maker\, and rumor has it that she may bring some along.

SUMMARY:THE WRONG OMAR
DESCRIPTION:The Wrong Omar\, aka Joey Shaheen\,  has been touring the US and Canada\, singing his “sidewalk confessionals of bad choices” with a tongue-in-cheek curmudgeon persona for old souls of all ages. His solo acoustic show follows a string of radio and TV performances throughout the Southeast and Mid-West. Soulful work on the piano leads to a set of guitar/harp and foot tambo songs that can be best described as: “crying tears of joy while making love”. You might also laugh yourself silly with some of his stories. Be warned: you may walk away with these tunes stuck in your head\, and you will be encouraged to sing along at times too. \nThe Wrong Omar presents a night of roots/folk/rock with blues harp\, stories and rock&roll aphorisms.

DESCRIPTION:BUDDY MONDLOCK \n“Buddy Mondlock is the most startling new songwriting talent I’ve heard this year.

SUMMARY:CHAD ELLIOTT
DESCRIPTION:“Equal parts Townes Van Zant and Woody Guthrie. A remarkably competent finger style guitarist and arguably one of new folk’s most gifted new lyricists.” \nAveraging over 100 shows per year\, CHAD ELLIOTT has been on the road for more than a decade performing a blend of roots\, blues and folk music. He has played across the country and has been lauded as a modern-day troubadour. \nElliott has released an astonishing 18 full-length albums since he began his songwriting career. The most notable being his latest studio album\, “Redemption Man\,” released in 2009. Elliott worked with producer and guitarist Bo Ramsey (Lucinda Williams\, Greg Brown) on this album to achieve its distinctive electrified roots sound. It also features Pieta Brown on the song\, “Same\, Old Way\,” which was the 2009 Woody Guthrie Festival song contest winner as well as a 3rd place winner in the 2009 International Songwriting Contest for the Americana category. Two other songs on this album\, “Redemption Man\,” and “Illinois\,” won Elliott a new folk finalist spot in the 2008 Grassy Hill Kerrville Folk Festival. \nThere’s something in that Iowa soil- (Greg Brown\, Dave Moore\, Bo Ramsey\, the Pines) \nAbove all the Iowa songwriter’s music slips stories about life as he has experienced it through living with the homeless\, love\, divorce\, fatherhood and discovering inspiration in the modern world. \n

SUMMARY:WADE FERNANDEZ/ PATRICK KLAYBOR
DESCRIPTION:D. PATRICK KLAYBOR is a singer songwriter with an Earth friendly\, conscience inspiring message\, wrapped in a fun fusion of all music genres style.  He appeared here in a concert for the Sacred Sites Run. \nSoaring from Menominee Indian Reservation roots\, WADE FERNANDEZ  knows how to both soothe and rock. With versatility\, he honors tradition while forging ahead in an ever expanding world of music. Award-winning vocals\, guitar\, songwriting\, native flute & drumming\, all flow from deep within a rich blood memory\, echoing his words\, “Music is a very powerful gift to be returned and shared in a good way.” \n“Your life is all that you’ve touched\, all that has touched you and all that came before you. You only really live it when you learn to listen to its music.” \nBorn on the Menominee Indian Reservation in Wisconsin\, USA. Wade grew up in a house surrounded by dense forest. “I could walk through the trees for maybe 6 miles behind the house and not see another human being. After crossing the road in front of the house\, I could probably walk another 10 miles and once again\, see only forest and animals.” The Menominee Reservation is over 95% forest and the roots of Wade’s inspiration. Wade’s first attempt at playing music came at the age of 5. His dad sat him down in front of a record player\, handed over a “huge” acoustic guitar and said try to figure out this song. It was “Apache” by the Shadows. Young Wade thought cool an Indian song\, but after 10 minutes of having no clue\, he decided to give it up. But then at 11 years old\, Wade decided to pick up the guitar and started a band on the rez with his cousin Quint. Since then he has won several national/international awards and scholarships for music and other forms of artistic expression (including video and writing). Wade toured Europe several times\, played and produced CDs\, and played many styles of music before he decided to go to college and further his study of music. Currently\, Wade has a degree in Music Education with a teacher’s certification\, manages an active music career\, works a GEAR UP job for students on the Menominee Indian Reservation\, is a member of the Menominee Indian School Board\, working on several film projects\, writing a play\, teaches native flute/guitar/bass/rock band classes\, and is raising a beautiful family of 5 children with his wife on the reservation. \n  \n  \nPERFORMANCESAs a well-established performer shows include; The Honor The Earth Tour\, Woodstock ’94\, The Reebok Human Rights Awards (2002 Winter Olympics)\, Ed McMahon’s Next Big Star\, Chicago’s World Music Festival\, Canada’s Aboriginal People’s Choice Awards\, and Germany’s Tollwood Festival. Wade jammed stages with many artists including Jackson Browne and The Indigo Girls and continues to tour. AWARDS & HONORS2010 national Community Spirit Award With the “diversatility” of Wade’s CD “4 the People” he won the 2007 “Best Contemporary Instrumental” and believe it or not\, best “Country” from the North American ISMA awards while also being in the Top 5 for best “Classic Rock”\, “Pop”\, “Flute”\, and “Blues” recording of the year. 4 the People also had Wade nominated for “Artist of the Year” and “Best Rock Recording” from the NAMMYs. The recording even made it into the GRAMMY voting process for “Best Rock Instrumental Performance”\, “Record of the Year”\, and “Best Contemporary Folk/Americana Album”. 2006 Wade won “Best Male Artist of the Year” award from the NAMMYS and was among the Top 5 for “Best Pop/Rock Recording” and best “Long/Short Form Video”.2004 & ’06 nominations “Best Male Artist\,” “Songwriter of the Year\,” “Blues/Jazz Recording of the Year” “Pop/Rock Recording of the Year” “Classic Rock” “Contemporary Instrumental” nominee from the Native American Music Awards (Nammys) and/or the Indian Summer Music Awards (ISMA)2001 “Writer of the Year”\, Wordcraft Circle of Native Writers and Storytellers 2005-6 numerous awards and screenings for Wade’s music video Commodity Cheese BluesMedal of Honor from the Menominee Nation \n

SUMMARY:RANDY SABIEN w/ CHRIS WAGONER & MARY GAINES and BILL CAMPLIN
DESCRIPTION:RANDY SABIEN \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.”\nUSA TODAY \n“…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. ” \nCHRIS WAGONER & MARY GAINES will join Randy on the first set. \nOriginally a jazz-guitar major at the University of WI-Stevens Point\, MARY GAINES truly found her musical voice studying jazz cello under the tutelage of the great Richard Davis (bass player with artists ranging from Sarah Vaughn to Van Morrison) at the UW-Madison. Mary is also known for her amazing voice–often compared to Bonnie Raitt but definitely her own. She (along with her husband\, Chris) has done extensive work as a session musician\, appearing on albums such as Smashing Pumpkin’s Gish\, several Freedy Johnston\, Willy Porter\, and Carrie Newcomer albums\, and scores of others. \nA founding member of Madison’s Harmonious Wail\, The Common Faces\, The Bob Westfall Quartet\, and The Moon Gypsies (the latter three co-founded with Mary Gaines)\, CHRIS WAGONER has had his foot in just about every musical circle in Madison. Classically trained as a violinist\, (he also plays ukulele\, hawaiian guitar\, accordion)\, he met Mary while attending the UW-Madison. Switching to an alternating diet of jazz and classical violin studies\, while playing in bands ranging from rock\, blues\, bluegrass\, and country\, to folk and jazz\, Chris has been an in-demand performer and session musician in the region for almost two decades. \nBILL CAMPLIN will deign to play with Randy for the second set.

SUMMARY:ELLIS PAUL- CANCELLED!!!!
DESCRIPTION:Sunday night’s show has been CANCELLED because Ellis could not get a flight in time for the other gigs on this tour. His agency is trying to work quickly to get a June tour planned. We will know that replacement date (likely Thursday June 12) very soon and will post it on the website and on Facebook.  PLEASE CONTACT US if you have tickets or reservations for this show so that we will know you have been reached.  Sorry- those damn vicissitudes. \nELLIS PAUL \n“A singer songwriter is only as good as the times he reflects. In times like these\, when so many nuts are running the show\, it’s comforting to know that Ellis Paul is actually holding our sanity on his own stage! Wise\, tender\, brilliant and biting\, Ellis is one of our best human compasses\, marking in melodies and poems where we’ve been and where we might go if we so choose to. Personally Ellis\, I’m goin’ where you’re goin’!” –Nora Guthrie (Woody Guthrie’s daughter) \n  \nEllis Paul is one of the leading voices in American songwriting and one of the top songwriters to emerge out of the fertile Boston folk scene. He helped create a movement that revitalized the national acoustic circuit with an urban\, literate\, folk rock style that helped renew interest in the genre in the 90’s. \n  \nHis charismatic\, personally authentic performance style has influenced a generation of artists away from the artifice of pop\, and closer towards the realness of folk. Though he remains among the most pop-friendly of today’s singer-songwriters – his songs regularly appear in hit movie and TV soundtracks – he has bridged the gulf between the modern folk sound and the populist traditions of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger more successfully than perhaps any of his songwriting peers. \n

SUMMARY:THE PINES/ Mike & Ruthy
DESCRIPTION:A Valentine’s Day spectacular with 2 great acts- \nTHE PINES  with opening act  Mike and Ruthy \nFounded by Iowa natives David Huckfelt and Benson Ramsey\, indie-roots band The Pines surprisingly actually met in Arizona\, where they both lived in a Mexican barrio and first began playing together. Forming The Pines\, they returned to the Midwest\, moving to Minneapolis. \nThe Pines weave together many musical styles to create their own unique sound that is hip and haunting. The son of Greg Brown’s producer and sideman Bo Ramsey\, Benson was reared on folk and blues music and those influences continue to shine through\, even on louder electric songs. David shares Benson’s deep love for traditional music\, and together the two craft songs that evoke the ancient\, while incorporating newer rock and pop grooves. Both strong writers\, singers and instrumentalists\, David and Benson have distinct voices that complement each other\, causing audiences and critics alike to tout them as a powerful young force in American roots music. \n“simply and eloquently stated sonic poetry…the real deal.”  Acoustic Guitar“richly resonant indie-folk in the vein of Bon Iver\, Calexico and Mason Jennings”  The Onion A.V. Club“a hushed mix of acoustic and electric guitars and keyboards creates a kind of haunted landscape…an affecting portrait capturing an American journey”  All Music“a soundtrack of American gothic intensity…a stunner of an album.”  Vintage Guitar“a dusty and often ghostly take on Americana”  CBS Minnesota“quietly gripping” Rolling Stone \nMike and Ruthy  He grew up listening to ska-punk and alternative rock radio\, dreaming of becoming a songwriter on the political edge.

SUMMARY:ERNIE HENDRICKSON
DESCRIPTION:ERNIE HENDRICKSON draws his inspiration from American roots music as varied as Bob Dylan\, Willie Nelson\, Neil Young\, Cat Stevens\, Jerry Garcia and others. \nHendrickson’s latest record\, Walking with Angels\, was made with veteran producer Bo Ramsey (Greg Brown\, Lucinda Williams) Played with a live band consisting of Bo\, Jon Penner on bass (Junior Brown\, Bo Ramsey)\, and Steve Hayes on drums (Greg Brown\, Bo Ramsey). \nAfter adding legendary Chicago pedal steel player Brian Wilkie (Alison Krauss\, Pam Tillis) on several tracks\, Bob Black’s banjo (Bill Monroe)\, and taking a trip to Nashville to record keyboardist Kevin McKendree (Delbert McClinton)\, the record shines as a true testament to Hendrickson’s ripening powers as a songwriter. \nRadio promotion has taken the sophomore album’s success to a higher level on both AAA and Americana stations. The album spent over 25 weeks in the Top 20 on Roots Music Report’s Folk charts and in regular rotation at nearly 100 different stations across the country including Nashville’s award-winning WSM-AM The Legend. \n“Dark and pretty songs. Ernie Hendrickson is finding a niche in the indie folk Americana segment. He is a storyteller like Harry Nilsson in a country mood.”\n– Hans Werksman\, Here Comes The Flood \n“Whether exploring tribal beats or graceful homegrown country hymnals\, E. Hendrickson stretches the song-writing pallet. He is drawing influences from Gram Parsons’ Burrito Brothers\, straight through the heart of the America’s Blues tradition.”\n– Martin Halo\, JamBase \nGive him a listen.

SUMMARY:RAY KAMALAY
DESCRIPTION:RAY KAMALAY  is a jazz guitarist known for his work  as leader of the Red Hot Peppers.  He will appear here solo. \n\nIn the early 1930’s\, America was blessed with a heyday of small-band jazz\, the likes of which it has not seen since.  In ballrooms across North America\, hot jazz\, laced with exciting improvisation\, and ballads\, melancholy and blue\, told stories of joy and tragedy\, and provided rhythm for the feet of dancers of the two-step\, the Lindy and the Swing…Ray Kamalay and his Red Hot Peppers are reminiscent of this peculiar era.  With some of the finest players in the United States\, they play this music with all its  excitement  and sentiment.  They have wowwed audiences at some of the very finest venues\, including Interlochen\, Edinburghand the Philadelphia Folk Festival. Ray Kamalay is the singer\, guitarist and leader of the group.  A Detroit native\, Ray started playing professionally immediately after graduating from the University of Detroit in 1974.  Even then he showed an unusual interest in both folk music and jazz.  In that same year\, while searching for the ancient Celtic muse on the Shetland Islands\, he got his first big dose of the music of Django Reinhardt.  Since then his interest in both genres has only gotten bigger.Ray has worked in collaboration with many fine artists\, including Joel Mabus\, James Dapogny\, Johnny Frigo\, Betty Joplin\, the Chenille Sisters\, Jethro Burns and Ralphe and Howard Armstrong.  In 1997 his work with the Armstrongs was nominated for the W. C. Handy Award.  A student of the music\, Ray lectures periodically at the college level with a talk called “Freedom\, Slavery and the roots of American Music.”  His anecdotes are often highlights of the show.

SUMMARY:THE TALL TREES- TIM GRIMM AND BEN BEDFORD
DESCRIPTION:Two Americana songwriters with strong credentials are pairing up for  tonight’s show. \nTIM GRIMM  is an award-winning songwriter\, and actor on stage and screen. He has toured and recorded with his friend\,  Ramblin’ Jack Elliott\, appeared with Harrison Ford in the film Clear and Present Danger\, and has shared the stage with writer and poet Wendell Berry. His recording\, The Back Fields was named Best Americana Album in the 2006 Just Plain Folks Music Awards in Los Angeles (the largest and most diverse music awards in the world). Named 2000’s “BEST DISCOVERY in Roots/Americana Music” by The Chicago Sun-Times\,  and “2004 MALE ARTIST of The Year” by the Freeform American Roots DJs\, his songs and performances have established him as a unique voice in Americana music. Each of his past 5 recordings have reached the top of the Folk or American-roots charts. \nGrimm walks the fine line between folk and country\, while maintaining a strong footing in tradition.  We hear the rural rumblings that have shaped his life\, but we are also invited in to a bigger picture\, as evident in so much of his work. Critics searching for comparisons most often cite Johnny Cash\, Woody Guthrie and (Nebraska era) Bruce Springsteen. \nAfter several years working in Los Angeles (where he co-starred for 2 seasons on the NBC drama Reasonable Doubts and appeared in several films)\, Tim returned home to Indiana.  He grew up in the woods and small town settings of southern Indiana\, son of schoolteachers and grandson of farmers\, and his return home was a conscious choice to live a life of significance rather than one of “success’. He now lives with his wife and sons on an 80 acre farm close to where he grew up. Tim’s songs are full of the rural rumblings that have shaped his life—rich with descriptive details\, and sung with warmth and intimacy—recognizing the inextinguishable national romance with the idea of the family farm and the vanishing landscape of rural America. \nIn 2007\, Grimm put together a concept cd with several of the Midwest’s finest songwriter’s— Krista Detor\, Carrie Newcomer\, Tom Roznowski\, and Michael White. The recording\, Wilderness Plots\, was drawn from the short stories of noted author\, Scott Russell Sanders\, and explored the settling of the American Wilderness in the Ohio River Valley Region between The Revolutionary War and The Civil War. Two PBS programs have explored Wilderness Plots– the first\, a documentary on the story and song\, and the second a full Wilderness Plots- In Concert (2012). Produced by WTIU in Bloomington\, IN\, both productions were nominated for EMMY AWARDS. \nTim has performed in theatres and coffeehouses around the United States. Still very active on stage and onscreen\, Tim’s most recent projects include guest spots on television’s\, CHICAGO CODE and DETROIT 187\, and work on the upcoming feature film\, AT ANY PRICE\,  with director\, Ramin Bahrani and starring Dennis Quaid and Zac Effron. In 2012 he has  appeared onstage in The Indiana Repertory Theatre production of GOD OF CARNAGE and a new theatrical concert piece– FOREVER SUNG- songs about aging–at The Phoenix Theatre. \nWatch a performance with his wife Jan Lucas here. \nBEN BEDFORD delivers intriguing sketches of America\, its individuals\, their victories and their struggles. Poignant\, but never sentimental\, Bedford’s portrait-like songs capture the vitality of his characters and draw the listener deep into the narratives. With three albums to his credit\, Bedford’s songs tackle scenarios including homelessness\, the plight of a Confederate soldier’s wife during the American Civil War\, the aerial triumphs of Amelia Earhart\, the life of Jack London\, the murder of Emmett Till in 1955\, John the Baptist\, the poet Vachel Lindsay and even the 1973 standoff between members of The American Indian Movement and federal agents on the Pine Ridge Reservation. Often drawing upon history\, Bedford’s songs have a strong sense of time and place. The songs are rich in sensory detail which allows the listener to hear\, see and feel each narrative. \n“Ben Bedford has proven himself to be a truly inspired and talented storyteller…” according to Arthur Wood (Maverick).  A true son of the heartland\, Bedford dips into the deep inkwell of classic American literature and writes with the ‘old soul’ quality of his literary idols\, such as John Steinbeck and Toni Morrison. Bedford has played his songs for audiences all over the United States. His music has received extensive airplay on folk and roots radio in the U.S.\, as well as in Europe\, taking him overseas on several occasions for concert dates on the continent and in the United Kingdom.  All three of Bedford’s albums have charted highly on the Euro Americana charts and the Folk-DJ charts with What We Lost also charting highly on the Roots Music Report charts. IIn July of 2010\, Bedford was named one of the “50 most significant Folk singer-songwriters of the past 50 years” by Rich Warren of WFMT-Chicago. The list\, which included artists such as Bob Dylan\, Townes Van Zandt\, Judy Collins and John Prine subsequently appeared on the blog of journalist Eric Zorn on the Chicago Tribune website.

SUMMARY:THE MINIMALISTS- Perry Baird and Jeff Mason duo
DESCRIPTION:It was just a short 23+ years ago that Fort Atkinson’s own Perry Baird and Jeff Mason (except for their gig last summer) last graced the stage together at the Carpe. Now they are both crusty old coots with grandchildren\, looking forward to collecting Social Security. In stubborn defiance to the advance of years and the physical and mental decline that accompanies it\, they are ready to turn back the clock (at least for one night). They got to reminiscing at the Rotary pancake breakfast this year and it led to this evening of music. \nPerry Baird’s strong and smooth baritone vocals draw you in to the songs he plays\, selections that are an eclectic mix of contemporary and traditional styles. He occasionally performs solo\, accompanying himself on 6- and 12-string guitar\, and he’s more frequently on stage with a folk trio known as the Buzzards\, which includes Madison’s Mike and Patty McDougal. \nJeff Mason accompanies Perry on guitar and vocals\, combining finger-style and flat-picking counterpoint…with a bit of soloing thrown in. Jeff also does a solo act (with his looper)\, performs with the locally infamous Merry Horde\, also occasionally as the newly hatched Jeff Mason Trio. Now this. Nobody (including Jeff) is quite sure where—or with whom—he will end up next. \nYou don’t want to wait another quarter-century before these guys get together again\, so catch them while you can (and they’re able).

SUMMARY:THE NEW PIONEERS
DESCRIPTION:This five piece bluegrass ball of fire featuring vocals\, banjo\, fiddle\, guitar\, bass and mandolin appears here regularly on the 2nd Thursday of the month except when they don’t. Its various members have been involved with traditional music locally\, regionally\, and nationally for many years. \nThe Pioneer’s lead singer and guitarist\, Jerry Wicentowski\, has been described by country music historian Bill Malone as “One of the finest singers in bluegrass music”.
