From her childhood on a family farm in rural Cape Breton Island\, Nova Scotia\, to her current “home” on the road\, Carmel has built her life around crafting songs\, collecting stories\, and carving poetry out of the human experience. After a year of touring extensively across Canada and the US with her celebrated debut album “In My Bones”\, Carmel recently returned home to Cape Breton to create her newest recording “Creature”. \nAn Americana-tinged confluence of acoustic and electric guitar\, banjo\, mandolin\, and unaffected vocals\, “Creature” was recorded live off the floor with her band at Cape Breton’s award winning Lakewind Sound Studio (Gordie Sampson/Fred Lavery). From the overtly political Twenty Something Girl to the deeply personal I Miss The Moon\, “Creature” is a fresh take on traditional folk song fodder: wayward politics\, social change\, and poignant\, fictional “true” stories. “I’m not sure which takes more courage for me – singing honestly about my losses or taking on newspaper headlines\,” Carmel admits. Either way\, the album reveals her as a truly unique voice in the Canadian songwriter landscape. \nCarmel’s songwriting has garnered her international attention\, winning the folk category in the 2010 Great American Song Contest and International Singer Songwriter Awards Song Contest. \n“Mikol’s sure way with a melody\, straddling country and folk traditions\, is warm and organic… It announces her as a hardcore troubadour and a softcore cynic\, winning either way.”\nCarsten Knox\, The Coast \n  URL:https://cafecarpe.com/event/carmel-mikol/ LOCATION:Cafe Carpe\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20110916T203000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20110916T230000 DTSTAMP:20260610T030424 CREATED:20110813T023804Z LAST-MODIFIED:20110813T024525Z UID:384-1316205000-1316214000@cafecarpe.com SUMMARY:JAMES LEE STANLEY DESCRIPTION:James Lee\, not commonly known as Jim: \nIt is only a long lived singer-songwriter career that lets JAMES LEE STANLEY unite the unpredictable creative turns and the eclectic elements that make up his world. His remarkable ability as a vocalist and composer allow him to create songs\, each recorded with a finely crafted with guitar orchestrations that enhance the lyric.  But a whole new dimension is added when James Lee performs live.   These incredible songs\, coupled with his outragously hilarious repartee\, make for an evening of hilarity and tenderness and one of the most entertaining concerts on the circuit. \nA recent project includes a Carpe favorite\, Cliff Eberhardt. \nAt the suggestion of John Densmore of the Doors\, veteran composers / vocalists /musicians James Lee and Cliff  took songs that are practically hard wired into our collective pop culture consciousness and put a uniquely fresh spin on them creating the remarkable All Wood and Doors.  \nFollowing on the heels of the critically acclaimed All Wood and Stones by James Lee Stanley and John Batdorf\, (vintage Rolling Stones masterpieces composed by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and reinvented by Batdorf & Stanley)\,  All Wood and Doors is the inevitable next step.   And it’s not too early to begin using the word masterpiece. \nPouring through the evocative catalog of the seminal rock group\, The Doors\, Stanley & Eberhardt have maintained all of the Doors mystique\, while at the same time bringing something completely new to all these classic songs. \nCliff Eberhardt and James Lee Stanley are wonderful singers and musicians\, with unique mastery of their instruments.   This recording\, All Wood and Doors\, is twelve of their favorite Doors songs.   The songs’ timelessness is enhanced by the funk and elegance of these new arrangements and re-interpretations. \nThe CD features crystal clear\, atmospheric acoustic renderings and the songs are the true stars of this recording.   Never before have you heard Classic Doors songs performed like this. \nThe arrangements are focused on Eberhardt’s raspy tenor and Stanley’s dulcet baritone\, combined with the incredible magic of their acoustic guitar interplay.   It’s almost as if the songs are somehow brand new and while completely familiar. \nBut what adds a truly remarkable spin to the recording is the endorsement and contribution of the Doors original drummer\, John Densmore\, who was part of this project based upon his fondness for the All Wood and Stones CD. \nIt was John who initially suggested the project when he told James Lee that if James ever did to the Doors songs what he did to the Stones songs\, then John wanted to be a part of the recording.   John Densmore was the true impetus that created All Wood and Doors. \nThen to the astonished joy of Cliff and James Lee\, Robby Krieger\, original Doors guitarist\, emailed James Lee\, expressing his admiration for All Wood and Stones and volunteering to play guitar on All Wood and Doors.   This was simply the icing on the cake.   Even now\, everyone at Beachwood Recordings is still amazed at this generous endorsement of the CD by both Robby and John. \nAnd to add further to an already remarkable recording\, there is this all star line up of the highly regarded guests musicians:   Timothy B Schmit (the Eagles)\, Peter Tork (the Monkees)\, Paul Barrere (Little Feat)\, Laurence Juber (Paul McCartney & Wings)\, Scott Breadman (the Rippingtons\, Lindsey Buckingham)\,  the truly remarkable Chad Watson (David Arkenstone\, Janis Ian) and\, of course\, John Densmore (the Doors)\, Robby Krieger (the Doors). \nThe songs are:   Break On Thru; Touch Me; Strange Days; Love Me Two Times; Crystal Ship; People Are Strange; Soul Kitchen; Riders On The Storm; Take It As It Comes; Moonlight Drive; Light My Fire; and The End. \n  URL:https://cafecarpe.com/event/james-lee-stanley/ LOCATION:Cafe Carpe\, WI\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20110910T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20110910T230000 DTSTAMP:20260610T030424 CREATED:20110908T045137Z LAST-MODIFIED:20110908T045137Z UID:452-1315684800-1315695600@cafecarpe.com SUMMARY:OPEN STAGE DESCRIPTION: URL:https://cafecarpe.com/event/open-stage-7/ LOCATION:Cafe Carpe\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20110909T203000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20110909T230000 DTSTAMP:20260610T030424 CREATED:20110813T022111Z LAST-MODIFIED:20110813T024453Z UID:380-1315600200-1315609200@cafecarpe.com SUMMARY:BIG BANG STRING THING DESCRIPTION:Sounds like we should be prepared for you to be showin’ some moves. \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. \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. \nMicah Olsan (guitar) has been an active performer in the Midwest music scenes for the last five years. His diverse songwriting mixes elements of folky acoustic fingerstyle\, funk\, rock\, and world music into a distinct sound that will leave your head bobbing and your toes tapping.  His guitar work was recognized in the 2010 Shepherd Express reader poll when he was awarded runner up for best guitarist. He has been playing with BBST for the last 5 years. \n  URL:https://cafecarpe.com/event/big-bang-string-thing/ LOCATION:Cafe Carpe\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20110908T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20110908T210000 DTSTAMP:20260610T030424 CREATED:20110813T030514Z LAST-MODIFIED:20110813T030514Z UID:398-1315508400-1315515600@cafecarpe.com SUMMARY:THE NEW PIONEERS DESCRIPTION:This five piece outfit featuring vocals\, banjo\, fiddle\, guitar\, bass and mandolin are doing a once-a-month performance here\, usually the 2nd Thursday. 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”. Jerry has also performed and recorded with such bluegrass greats as Tim O’Brien\, Andy Statman\, Byron Berline\, Tony Trischka and others. Mike Schmidt of Spring Green\, Wisconsin\, is the group’s banjo player. This former French horn player has been a Nashville session musician and member of the popular Wisconsin-based bluegrass bands\, Alive ‘n’ Pickin’ and the Piper Road Spring Band. He also performs occasionally with his wife Lori. Bruce King of Art Stevenson and High Water – also formerly of Alive ‘n’ Pickin’ – is on mandolin. Bruce and Mike are veterans of the Great Northern Bluegrass Festival in Mole Lake\, WI – performing there every year from 1977 to 1982. Fiddle player Paul Kienitz is a member in good standing of regional bluegrass favorites\, The Nob Hill Boys. Bass player John Jirak just joined the gang recently.

Ernie Hendrickson is finding a niche in the indie folkAmericana segment. He is a storyteller like Harry Nilsson in a country mood.”\n– Hans Werksman 
Here Comes The Flood\nIn 2007 Ernie self-produced and released a highly acclaimed solo record\, Down the Road\, of which the Illinois Entertainer deemed “Groundbreaking” and pushed him straight onto the Midwest’s radar as an emerging singer-songwriter. Hendrickson set the talent bar high in the studio for this album with a cast of players that included the subtle and angelic backing vocals of his sister\, Kelly Hendrickson\, and the legendary harmonica player\, Howard Levy (Bela Fleck & The Flecktones\, Paul Simon)\, aligned with an all-star group of Chicago musicians.\nHendrickson’s new record\, Walking with Angels\, began with a chance meeting between Ernie and veteran producer Bo Ramsey (Greg Brown\, Lucinda Williams\, Jeffrey Foucault) in the spring of ’08 in Iowa City\, where Ernie was opening a show for an old friend of Bo’s\, Kevin Gordon. Even in early conversation\, the two agreed that there was a chemistry evolving that would only deepen once the sessions began. At Bo’s urging\, Ernie sang and played nearly all of the songs on the record with a live band which consisted of Bo\, Jon Penner on bass (Junior Brown\, Bo Ramsey)\, and Steve Hayes on drums (Greg Brown\, Bo Ramsey). This call was made by Bo to try and capture the energy of a great performance and the result could not have been better. All twelve songs on the record feel as though these four guys had been playing together for years. After 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. Radio promotion has taken the sophomore album’s success to a higher level on both AAA and Americana stations\, having 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. \nOf opener MJ Bishop: “A modern-day Patsy Cline whose voice has been seasoned to Americana perfection. Folk Americana with attitude; lyric-driven melancholy that’s gutsy\, introspective\, organic\, emotive\, acoustic\, and laced with twang.” Her music is described as open-road longing folk Americana.  She has been compared to Patsy Cline\, Emmylou Harris and Gillian Welch.  Combining deep roots in acoustic music with a maturing country sensibility\, MJ creates a genre that is\, in many ways\, her own.  Her influences include Patsy Cline\, Hank Williams\, k.d. lang\, Patty Griffin\, Emmylou Harris\, Lucinda Williams\, URL:https://cafecarpe.com/event/ernie-hendrickson-mj-bishop/ LOCATION:Cafe Carpe\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20110820T203000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20110820T230000 DTSTAMP:20260610T030424 CREATED:20110803T005328Z LAST-MODIFIED:20110819T085311Z UID:289-1313872200-1313881200@cafecarpe.com SUMMARY:BILL CAMPLIN & the AUGUST SAGE DESCRIPTION:This is one of those rare appearances of the Bill Camplin band\, one of whose members is Bill Camplin.

The Pines are a band that has taken on this feat\, honing their musical craft to near perfection with a sound that wavers on the edge of traditional acoustic/roots music\, but embraces the nuances of today’s indie-rock and blues music. \nMeeting in a Mexican barrio in Arizona\, fellow Iowans David Huckfelt and Benson Ramsey began playing music together\, forming The Pines. Committing to a musical career\, they returned to their Midwestern roots and settled in Minneapolis\, a music haven that has launched the careers of such folk and rock legends as Bob Dylan\, The Jayhawks and The Replacements. \nIn 2004 The Pines released their debut self-titled album on the Iowa-based Trailer Records\, establishing themselves as an emerging force in the roots music world with their haunting blend of indie-rock\, folk\, and blues with intelligent lyrics. In 2007 The Pines released Sparrows in the Bell on the world renowned acoustic/roots label Red House Records. The album had critics buzzing and was named one of the top roots releases of 2007 by Q Magazine. With the release of Tremolo\, \, their second release on Red House\, The Pines continue to show their growth as artists as well as an unparalleled wisdom in their songwriting and musicianship. \nThe son of Greg Brown’s producer and sideman Bo Ramsey\, Benson was surrounded by folk and blues music and continues to let those influences shine\, even on louder electric songs. David also has a deep love for traditional music\, and together the two of them craft music that evokes the ancient while incorporating newer rock and pop grooves. Both strong writers and musicians\, 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. Steadily touring around the country\, The Pines have shared the stage with some of the biggest names in music including Bon Iver\, The Holmes Brothers\, Jolie Holland\, The Arcade Fire\, and Spider John Koerner. \nwww.thepinesmusic.com URL:https://cafecarpe.com/event/the-pines/ CATEGORIES:Uncategorized END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20110813T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20110813T230000 DTSTAMP:20260610T030424 CREATED:20110803T005541Z LAST-MODIFIED:20110803T005541Z UID:292-1313265600-1313276400@cafecarpe.com SUMMARY:OPEN STAGE DESCRIPTION: URL:https://cafecarpe.com/event/open-stage-5/ LOCATION:Cafe Carpe\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20110812T203000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20110812T230000 DTSTAMP:20260610T030424 CREATED:20110802T041342Z LAST-MODIFIED:20110810T183336Z UID:279-1313181000-1313190000@cafecarpe.com SUMMARY:COUSIN BONES w/ Wes Heine & Mike Sviokla DESCRIPTION:Cousin Bones is a loud but lyrical dobro / banjo duo out of Chicago.  Foot-stomping storytelling- they do drinking songs\, blues\, and blue-grass… Blues-Grass if you will… Home town boy Wes Heine (born @ Fort Hospital) & Mike Sviokla from Boston have been writing and performing together as Cousin Bones for four years.  This is roots music for the 21st Century.

Then when it seems really high they go even more higherer.

He is a composer\, blues pianist\, singer / songwriter\, and recent winner of the Lila Wallace/Reader’s Digest/Meet the Composer’s national award for chamber music composition and the Illinois Arts Council Fellowship Award for Music Composition. \nCorky Siegel’s career began with a fortunate break when he formed the legendary Siegel-Schwall Band that toured the major rock palaces and clubs in the 60’s and 70’s. He was introduced to the blues through his very first steady engagement at Peppers the internationally renowned blues club where his job included performances with the blues masters themselves\, such as Willie Dixon\, Little Walter\, Muddy Waters\, and Howlin’ Wolf. “For groups like the Rolling Stones … names like Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf were exotic inspirations. For Siegel-Schwall they were the guys that played with them on 43rd Street.” – Lin Brehmer – Music Director for WXRT radio. \nCorky Siegel has 18 recordings and over 35 reissues on: Vanguard\, RCA\, Alligator (the exclusively Blues label) and Gadfly Records\, and two album projects for the prestigious classical label Deutsche Grammophon (DG). The DG release of William Russo’s Three Pieces for Blues Band and Symphony Orchestra featuring Corky’s blues band\, Siegel-Schwall (for whom the work was written) with Seiji Ozawa and the San Francisco Symphony\, was a block-buster in sales and had “an unprecedented inter-generational impact on the American music scene. ” – Music Critic – David Sckolnik. In fact\, one movement of “Three Pieces” became a successful “single” which scored very high on the Billboard Pop and Classical charts. \nhttp://www.chamberblues.com/ssb_bio_corky.html    www.randysabien.com \nWhen RANDY SABIEN (suh bean’) picks up his violin\, get ready. His rhythmic\, bluesy\, swingin’ sound will have you bobbing your head\, tapping your toes and dancing right out of your chair. \nAlthough Randy’s muscial aspirations began by studying classical violin\,  his direction did an about face the day he discovered he could play jazz on the violin. He poured himself into the music of the swing era and began teaching himself to play along with records of his favorite jazz artists. He also continued to appreciate the music of his own generation; the 60’s and 70’s. This led to inspired renditions of tunes by the Beatles\, The Grateful Dead\, the Allman Brothers and others. Meanwhile\, his own compositions developed as straight ahead jazz for violin. When he put out his first album\, In a Fog\, it was received with glowing reviews from Downbeat\, JazzTimes\, Billboard and others. \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   www.randysabien.com \n  URL:https://cafecarpe.com/event/corky-siegel-w-randy-sabien/ CATEGORIES:Uncategorized END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20110714T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20110714T220000 DTSTAMP:20260610T030424 CREATED:20110623T042327Z LAST-MODIFIED:20110623T042327Z UID:124-1310671800-1310680800@cafecarpe.com SUMMARY:STEVE FORBERT DESCRIPTION:This pop music singer-songwriter is best known for his song “Romeo’s Tune\,” from his album Jackrabbit Slim\, which hit number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1980.  He was hailed by the critics then as the “new Bob Dylan”.  Steve has continued to make music\, pleasing the cadre of loyal & enthusiastic fans who appreciate his thoughtful and soulful songwriting. \nwww.steveforbert.com URL:https://cafecarpe.com/event/steve-forbert/ CATEGORIES:Uncategorized END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20110709T203000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20110709T230000 DTSTAMP:20260610T030424 CREATED:20110623T032330Z LAST-MODIFIED:20110623T032330Z UID:112-1310243400-1310252400@cafecarpe.com SUMMARY:MARE EDSTROM w/KENN FOX/ Midwest Guitar Trio opens DESCRIPTION:Mare Edstrom and Kenn Fox are currently completing their 5th album of all-blues material.
