SUMMARY:LARRY PENN/ JOHN SIEGER/ MARK DVORAK
DESCRIPTION:A whoppin’ night of great music with three great guys: \nThese shows with the “three grumpy amigos” have been a delight each time\, with the audience clamoring for another grumpy get-together. Don’t miss out on the hottest thing in showbiz. \nLarry Penn sings and tells stories of hard work\, working people\, trains\, trucks\, life on the road\, love\, nonsense\, and flamingos. Noted for their elegance in simplicity\, his songs are not only popular with audiences\, but are acclaimed by other artists\, many of whom have recorded their own renditions of Larry’s songs. His performances are delightful.  \nMark Dvorak    plays folk and blues on banjo and guitar – carrying on the tradition of stalwarts like the above-lauded Mr. Penn.   “Mark is a charismatic performer with a spark of gentle passion that lights every concert hall and every greenway where he lifts his voice in celebration of the old songs. He has been called “a folk singer’s folk singer who follows unerringly in the footsteps of Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie\,” and his song writing has been called “wondrous” and “profound.” \nLike Larry\,  John Sieger is another Milwaukee gem\, known as a prolific and talented songwriter with a semi-country bent whose songs have impressed Dwight Yoakam\, Jerry Harrison\, The BoDeans\, Robbie Fulks and Flaco Jimenez enough to record them. He has been in numerous Milwaukee bands\, including the R&B Cadets\, Semi-Twang\, the SubContinentals. Roots rock\, country\, R&B- John runs the gamut.

SUMMARY:TOM KASTLE/ ANDREW CALHOUN
DESCRIPTION:TOM KASTLE is a singer\, songwriter\, sailor and teller of tales who has performed throughout the US\, Canada\, Europe\, and New Zealand. He has one foot in the modern singer/songwriter world and the other planted in the traditional maritime realm where he is a shanty and ballad singer and a tall ship captain. He is a co-director of the Chicago Maritime Festival\, a faculty member of the Old Town School of Folk Music\, and the Narrator (with occasional singing roles) for the Candid Concert Opera Company. When ashore\, he lives in a 19th century log cottage in Madison\, Wisconsin. \n“I heard Tom Kastle sing his song\, ‘Whose House? Our House!’ at a Local 1000 union meeting.  Timely. Inspiring.  A great gathering song sung with power and presence. ” –Holly Near \n“With his solo recording and original songs\, Tom Kastle shows further dimensions to his talent and range of material. His resonant voice\, heartfelt lyrics\, and solid instrumentation proves he is a more “grounded” talent\, as capable as writing about the open road as he is about the open waters”                                                                                                                       –Lilli Kuzma: Folk Festival WDCB-FM Radio \nANDREW CALHOUN  “…is a powerful songsmith\, a quiet and sly performer\, and fine traditional singer as well… fascinating and unpredictable.” -Phil Shapiro\, Bound for Glory \n“Calhoun is a master at story songs\, finely crafted works that swiftly and economically capture a moment or express an emotion. Like the best novelists\, he is able to assume different personas and see the world through other people’s eyes.” – June Sawyers\, Chicago Tribune \n“He’s blessed with a resonant baritone\, crystalline fingerpicking\, and a writer’s ear.” – The Oregonian \nAndrew Calhoun’s music is innovative and rooted in tradition. In forty years as a performer he has evolved an increasingly varied repertoire including original songs\, Irish and American folk songs\, Scottish ballads\, African-American spirituals\, hymns\, historical background\, comic songs and poems and songs by writers such as Dave Carter\, Mary Oliver and Robert Frost.

SUMMARY:DARDEN SMITH/ FREEDY JOHNSTON
DESCRIPTION:DARDEN SMITH weaves together folk and Americana influences with rock\, pop and the musical roots of his home state of Texas to create a sound uniquely his own. With 14 critically acclaimed albums under his belt\, Smith was called “a singer-songwriter blessed with an uncommon degree of intelligence\, depth and compassion” by Allmusic.com.  Compared to songwriters such as Nick Drake\, John Hiatt\, Leonard Cohen and Elvis Costello\, Smith is one of contemporary music’s most winning and gifted artistic treasures whose consistent creative excellence keeps blossoming.   \nLove Calling\, Smith’s latest album and his first with Compass Records\, was recorded in Nashville where he co-wrote much of the material with some of the city’s stellar songwriters and working with top studio musicians. Capturing the sweep of its artist’s prolific career\, the album’s lyrics reflect the depth and resonance of a veteran songwriter\, while its melodies and production style recall the purity of Smith’s early work. \nOne of the finest and most singular voices in the singer-songwriter genre\, FREEDY JOHNSTON sold his Kansas farm in the late ‘80s to finance his musical career. It paid off. Rolling Stone and Spin hailed his second release\, Can You Fly\, as a masterpiece. Robert Christgau called it “a perfect album.” Its success led to a major label deal with Elektra\, for whom Johnston released This Perfect World in 1994. Not only did that album showcase Johnston’s increasing sophistication and range as a songwriter\, but it also included his breakthrough hit\, “Bad Reputation.” \nIn the ensuing years\, Johnston released three additional albums on Elektra\, including 1999′s critically acclaimed Blue Days\, Black Nights\, produced by T-Bone Burnett. \nFreedy’s songs are often praised for their literary quality\, but they also hit you on a gut level. As a young man\, Johnston was drawn to both the raw energy of punk and the austere beauty of Paul McCartney’s vocal melodies. It’s no surprise that Elvis Costello’s My Aim Is True is among the first albums that inspired him. One can hear Costello’s gift for meticulous songcraft and wry storytelling on Can You Fly. \nJohnston took a break from songwriting in the ‘00s\, releasing the demo collection The Way We Were and the covers album My Favorite Waste of Time. In 2009\, he released his first new album in eight years\, Rain On The City. Pitchfork\, the Los Angeles Times and others praised the album\, calling it one of the most assured efforts of Johnston’s career.

SUMMARY:JESS KLEIN/ Savannah Smith
DESCRIPTION:JESS KLEIN\nFor over a decade\, Jess Klein’s gutsy “tell it like it is” folk pop has been embraced by tastemakers from Tokyo to London\, from Australia to her new home state of Texas.\nGraced with one of the most enviable voices in Americana music – that’s her singing harmony on John Fullbright’s Grammy-nominated album From the Ground Up\, Jess is equally at ease with a sultry whisper or a rock’n’roll wail.  MOJO Magazine writes “Jess Klein has one of those voices you want to crawl up close to the speakers to listen to.” The NY Times describes her songwriting as having “stranger\, more personal things to say than one could get away with most of the time in Nashville.” And No Depression‘s Lee Zimmerman calls Klein’s latest release Behind A Veil  “An excellent album – a career-maker in fact.” In fact\, Klein has released eight critically acclaimed albums of her own and toured the globe\, sharing the stage with such greats as Arlo Guthrie\, Steve Earle\, Jimmy Dale Gilmore\, Shawn Colvin\, Radney Foster and Alejandro Escovedo. \n“A series of YouTube videos\, each one more precious than the last\, paint Minneapolis’ Savannah Smith as a ukulele-slinging Jack Johnson disciple—particularly in an adorable take on “Bitter Heart” by Zee Avi (who’s on Johnson’s Brushfire Records)\, aided by some smirking\, unofficial sign language from her roommate. But the seriousness Smith shows when performing her own songs\, like the punchy “Ventriloquism\,” nicely balances her jazz-informed cooing and displays a talent for lyrical density that raises her simple melodies.”\n—  AV Club -Madison

SUMMARY:CLAUDIA SCHMIDT & DEAN MAGRAW
DESCRIPTION:Claudia and Dean may be sporting a new CD of their collaboration.  Take this great opportunity to hear the two of them together live. \nAlmost four 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 fourteen albums of mostly original songs\, exploring folk\, blues\, and jazz idioms featuring her acclaimed 12-string guitar and mountain dulcimer playing. \n“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. \nFrom lying on sandy beaches under an endless barrage of northern lights\, to the expected anguish and frustration of spinning tires on cars stuck deep in snow\, from the age-old struggle of change between adolescence and adulthood to the observation of sheer idiocy\, she leaves it to the imagination of her audience to conjure their own images of her storytelling and song. No interpretation of a Claudia Schmidt song or story is wrong-she invites audiences to tie their associations to her style. \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.”\nDoor County Advocate \nComposer/Guitarist Dean Magraw’s musical passion transcends all boundaries\, yet the vital essence of his distinctive style remains\, while performing and recording solo\, with numerous regional ensembles\, and on projects with international notables as diverse as Japanese shamisen prodigy Nitta Masahiro\, classical violinist Nigel Kennedy\, South Indian virtuoso Nirmala Rajasheker\, epic songstress Ruth MacKenzie\, Irish supergroup Altan\, radio personality Garrison Keillor\, jazz bassist Anthony Cox\, and many others. (obviously including Claudia Schmidt.) \n“Dean Magraw… so liquid\, lyrical and effortless it’s like listening to a dancer.” -Steve Tibbetts \n“Dean Magraw unveils soulful melodic grooves intricately designed to heal the broken dancer\, confuse the boldest mathematician\, and eradicate ennui in our lifetime.” -Nick Lethert

SUMMARY:CLIFF EBERHARDT/ Tim Fast
DESCRIPTION:Redhouse recording artist CLIFF E. knew by age seven that he was going to be a singer and songwriter. As a child Cliff taught himself to play guitar\, piano\, base and drums. In his teens Eberhardt was fortunate enough to live close to the Main Point (one of the best folk clubs on the East Coast)\, he cut his teeth listening to the likes of James Taylor\, Joni Mitchell\, Bruce Springsteen\, Howlin’ Wolf\, Muddy Waters\, Bonnie Raitt\, and Mississippi John Hurt – receiving an early and impressive tutorial in acoustic music. At the same time\, he was also listening to great pop songwriters like Cole Porter\, the Gershwins\, and Rodgers and Hart\, which explain his penchant for great melodies and clever lyrical twists. \n“Up and down the line\, as a writer\, guitarist\, performer\, and vocalist\, Eberhardt is the equal of any singer-songwriter in contemporary pop. With unequaled directness and with a stark\, raw presentation\, he carves out miniature masterpieces\, giving voice to life’s complexities and ambiguities.”\n—Berkshire Eagle \n“Melding pop\, rock\,and folk styles into a rich melange\, Eberhardt fits gracefully and solidly in the singer/songwriter niche.”\n—Seattle Weekly \n“Eberhardt approaches the guitar with stylistic eloquence\, with the hooks\, licks and grooves that could easily rank him among those who are singularly known as guitar virtuosos.”\n—Taconic Newspapers \nOn his sixth album\, Eberhardt\, who calls the Pioneer Valley home\, couches his ballads in rootsy\, folksy arrangements that emphasize his bluesy guitar playing and his soulful\, Ray Charles-like vocals. Eberhardt’s melodies\, however\, are as sophisticated as ever — he is the missing link between Paul McCartney and Cole Porter.\n– Seth Rogovey \nA driving force of the Greenwich Village New Folk movement and well known among his peers\, Cliff’s songs have been covered by the likes of Richie Havens\, Buffy St. Marie\, Erasure\, Lucy Kaplansky and the folk superstar band “Cry\, Cry\, Cry” (Dar Williams\, Richard Shindell\, Lucy Kaplansky). \nTim Fast says  “Many of my songs are about life’s experiences because the best songs come from what you know best.” Tim is a touring musician who counts celebrated songwriters like Cliff Eberhardt and James Keelaghan among his fans. Keelaghan said that besides being an “excellent songwriter\,” Tim has “the sweetest voice I’ve heard in a long time.” Cliff was so impressed with Tim that he asked him to tour with him as his opening act\, and to accompany him during his performance.

SUMMARY:CATHY BARTON & DAVE PARA
DESCRIPTION:Cathy Barton and Dave Para give dynamic performances acclaimed for their variety and expertise in both vocal and instrumental styles. Their repertoire and informal audience rapport are marked by a special affection for traditional music.  \n“Cathy Barton and Dave Para\, as much as any folk musicians I know\, carry on the sense of importance of folk music\, the value of digging for old musical gold\, of traveling far and wide to collect old songs and tunes\, and of being friends with\, rather than exploiters of the old-timers who have provided such wonderful musical foundations for us all.” –Ed Trickett \nThis versatile duo performs and conducts workshops with hammered and fretted dulcimers\, banjo\, guitars and autoharp\, as well as “found” instruments like bones\, spoons\, mouthbow and leaf. Their music ranges from driving string band music to contemplative ballads and airs. They have a knack for finding unusual\, rarely heard songs from traditional and contemporary sources in their home region\, but also from elsewhere in the US and Europe. They have conducted many topical workshops on songs from the Carter family\, the Civil War\, river lore\, gospel\, children’s songs\, Christmas music and Ozark ballads.

SUMMARY:JEREMY PINC & the Underinsured/ Thriftones open
DESCRIPTION:The Underinsured- not their real name- I just made it up- are local guys– Jeremy Pinc\, Matt Kelly\, Mark Chaney\, and Ben Knowles. \n“The Thriftones tumble through mysterious carnival music-box time signatures\, chiming\, then break into swoons well-timed\, with pace and delivery of a hilarious stand-up comedian prodding a crowd to laughter on command.  Rattling\, twanging guitar riffs serrate blues piano melodies\, reckoning humble\, hard times\, down-tempo bluegrass rock by-gone\, but not forgotten.”  Catch them in this video from Fox6.

SUMMARY:JIM & VIVIAN CRAIG w/FRED CAMPEAU & 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:LAURIE McCLAIN
DESCRIPTION:LAURIE MCCLAIN \n“Laurie has got to be from another planet. I’ve never met anyone – except maybe Richie Havens – who is so open-hearted and full of love for humanity\, yet who appears to experience life on a different plane than everybody else. Her music is as innocent as it is informed by experience\, as playful as it is rooted\, and as detail-oriented as it is grand in scope. Lucky for the rest of us\, she’s translated her Earthly experience onto record\, and called it Ascend.”\n-DEVON SPROULE \n“Laurie is a true artist. She opens hearts and sings from a place of depth and love. She held my tough NYC audience with her masterful storytelling\, strong lyrics and vulnerable voice\, moving them to tears and laughter.  If she is performing anywhere near you\, run to see her. You will not be disappointed; you will be transformed.”-KATHRYN\, KATHRYN’S HOUSE CONCERT SERIES\, NYC \n“Laurie’s voice has a raw\, genuine classic folk resonance that pulls you into every song.”\n-SINGER MAGAZINE \n“Laurie turns each venue into her own living room\, and each listener into a new friend with her disarming humor and passionate performance. Laurie’s songs explore the themes of identity\, growth\, friendship and love in a way that always honors the fundamental mysteries of the human journey. In this Mecca of songwriters\, she is a gem of uniqueness and authenticity.”\n-JM KEARNS

SUMMARY:HARPETH RISING
DESCRIPTION:HARPETH RISING \nBilled as an “Americana Sensation” by WSM 650\, this group of young classically trained musicians is making an immense impact wherever they play. The quartet brings an exciting and distinctive sound to the Americana genre.” They wowed the audience when they played here this spring\, and they will no doubt do it again. \nWith a banjo and fiddle\, you might think they’re traditional bluegrass\, but think again: cello and hand drums round out the group\, creating a truly new sound. A little bit bluegrass\, a little bit folk\, a little bit classical and whole lot of original\, Harpeth Rising is a band to watch.

SUMMARY:DAVID STODDARD/DAVID GLASER
DESCRIPTION:These two solo artists will perform as a duo this evening. \nNoted lyricist and composer DAVID STODDARD is one of Minnesota/Wisconsin’s most decorated songwriters. Currently living in the snowy wilds of Western Minnesota\, he  tours sporadically throughout North America and plays mostly concert venues\, living rooms\, and other dedicated listening environments.  You may have heard him play at local venues or festivals\, or one of his many appearances on Minnesota Public Radio. \nHe’s played at the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville and at the Kerrville Folk Festival in Kerrville\, Texas\, and been featured on Wisconsin Public Radio’s “Tent Show Radio.” He has won the Kerrville New Folk award\, as well as songwriting awards at the South Florida Folk Festival\, the Minnesota Folk Festival\, and others. He has shared festival and concert stages with people like Juice Newton\, Leon Russell\, Rik Emmett\, Lou and Peter Berryman\, Michael Smith\, Pat Donohue\, and\, now (thoroughly confirming him as a unapologetic name dropper) David Glaser. He was once mistaken for George Winston at a bookstore in Milwaukee. True story- but that guy stuffed a dollar bill into his coffee cup.  \nDAVID GLASER‘s songs are lush\, evocative\, and full of imagery – like an album of snapshots from his rich journey. an evening with david is a rollercoaster ride of style\, emotion and genre; you can expect everything from contemporary singer/songwriter fare to traditional offerings\, and many shades in between. David’s fluent guitar and mandolin skills have made him a sought after side man\, studio musician\, and guitar teacher. He performs regularly with Dan Navarro\, Stephanie Corby\, and Bob Sima\, among others. David offers a comprehensive guitar and mandolin workshop on many of his tour stops.  He’s played Madison Square Garden and with folks like Morris Day\, Luther Vandross\, Jasper Isley\, Peabo Bryson and many others.

SUMMARY:HOWARD LEVY w/ guitarist CHRIS SIEBOLD
DESCRIPTION:HOWARD LEVY \nWhen musicians have so much musical experience and ability to share\, it’s sometimes good to take a “less is more” approach\, at least when it comes to instrumentation. Howard Levy’s virtuosic harmonica and piano playing\, Chris Siebold’s masterful resonator guitar work (and soulful singing on a few numbers) – that’s all you need for an evening of music that shows their wide range of influences and experiences: jazz\, blues\, pop classical and original compositions that transcend genre or category. All the while\, the spirit of adventure and improvisation of jazz permeates the music created by these two masters.\nMultiple Grammy-Award Winner Howard Levy is an acknowledged master of the diatonic harmonica\, a superb pianist\, innovative composer\, recording artist\, bandleader\, teacher\, and producer. His musical travels have taken him all over the geographical world and the musical map.  Chris Siebold\, a guitarist hand-picked by Howard\, draws from a deep well of influences and a wide variety of styles to match: from bluegrass to bebop\, big band jazz\, rock\, R&B and much more in his 20-year career.  \nWatch a YouTube video of Howard and Chris performing live.

SUMMARY:GARNET ROGERS
DESCRIPTION:The big Canadian is back.  \nIn a darkened bedroom\, lit only be the amber glow from an old floor model radio\, two young brothers aged 6 and 12 lay in their beds\, listening to the country music broadcasts from the Grand Ol’ Opry\, and practiced their harmonies. Two years later\, the youngest one was playing the definitive 8-year-old’s version of “Desolation Row” on his ukulele. He soon abandoned that instrument to teach himself the flute\, violin and guitar. \nWithin ten years\, and barely out of high school\, Garnet Rogers was on the road as a full- time working musician with his older brother Stan. Together they formed what has come to be accepted as one of the most influential acts in North American folk music. \nHailed by the Boston Globe as a “charismatic performer and singer”\, Garnet is a man with a powerful physical presence – close to six and a half feet tall – with a voice to match. With his “smooth\, dark baritone” (Washington Post) his incredible range\, and thoughtful\, dramatic phrasing\, Garnet is widely considered by fans and critics alike to be one of the finest singers anywhere. His music\, like the man himself\, is literate\, passionate\, highly sensitive\, and deeply purposeful. Cinematic in detail\, his songs “give expression to the unspoken vocabulary of the heart” (Kitchener Waterloo Record). An optimist at heart\, Garnet sings extraordinary songs about people who are not obvious heroes and of the small victories of the everyday. As memorable as his songs\, his over-the-top humour and lightning-quick wit moves his audience from tears to laughter and back again. \n“Garnet Rogers is capable of awe-inspiring and unpredictable stuff – and that includes more than just music”

SUMMARY:ELLIS PAUL
DESCRIPTION:ELLIS 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)  \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. \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.

SUMMARY:MEG HUTCHINSON
DESCRIPTION:Meg Hutchinson is an award-winning songwriter who artfully documents the human condition. With a poet’s ease\, she makes the personal universal\, allowing people’s stories to come alive through her unique vocals and haunting melodies. Since the release of her Red House Records debut COME UP FULL in 2008\, she has won high praise for her songwriting and has been featured nationally on NPR Music\, XM/Sirius Radio and several times on the syndicated show Mountain Stage. Publications like The Winnipeg Free Press have compared her songwriting with that of veterans Mary Chapin Carpenter and Joni Mitchell. \nGrowing up in the Berkshire Mountains of Western Massachusetts\, the woods and rivers were her childhood muses\, as were songwriters like Greg Brown and Joni Mitchell\, and poets like Mary Oliver\, William Stafford\, and Robert Frost. When Hutchinson inherited her grandmother’s 1957 Martin guitar at age eleven\, her love of words found an inspiring instrument\, and there was no turning back. “Songwriting is not something I chose\, I’ve just somehow always known that this is what I love to do. This is what I can’t help but do\,” she says. \nAfter graduating from college with a degree in creative writing\, Hutchinson quit her longtime job on an organic farm and settled in Boston. In between gigs at pubs\, coffeehouses and train stations\, she won a Kerrville New Folk Award (2000) and was nominated for a Boston Music Award for her first studio album AGAINST THE GREY. \nShe went on to win awards at the Rocky Mountain Folks Fest\, the Telluride Troubadour Songwriter’s Showcase in Colorado and The Chris Austin Songwriting Contest at Merlefest in North Carolina\, all in the course of a year\, causing national publications like Performing Songwriter to take notice. They called Hutchinson “A master of introspective ballads filled with understated yearning and an exquisite sense of metaphor.” \nShe quickly became an integral part of the vibrant Boston songwriting community. Like every great performer who has come out of the Boston scene\, Hutchinson took to the subway\, performing in Park Street\, Downtown Crossing and Harvard Square – honing her chops in the same method of predecessors like Martin Sexton\, John Mayer\, and Tracy Chapman. \nIn her newest album\, BEYOND THAT (releases September 24th 2013 on Red House Records) Hutchinson teams up once again with veteran Boston producer Crit Harmon for what is her most modern and intricate production to date. \nShe says “Crit and I have worked together for a decade now. I wanted to build on that trust and that shared musical language and really encourage each other to find new sounds. I felt that I had reached a new landscape in myself and I wanted the album to reflect that.”

SUMMARY:WARREN NELSON with OTIS MCLENNON & ROWAN NELSON
DESCRIPTION:WARREN NELSON  Songwriter\, Musician\, Poet\, Performer\, Writer\, Producer\, Storyteller\, Historian\, Tent-show junkie “Man of the Cloth”\nA professional musician and entertainer since the late 1960’s\, Warren Nelson’s trail has taken him across the US\, “both sides of 1970.” From his first full-time professional group The Tenth Story Window (he met Elvis twice!)\, to Colorado where he spent five years writing and playing music in the mountains\, to the Madison\, Wisconsin area where he formed the Lost Nation String Band with Don Pavel. He moved to northern Wisconsin’s Bayfield Peninsula where he founded Lake Superior Big Top Chautauqua in 1986. For 23 seasons\, through 2008\, Nelson was the ringmaster\, centerpole\, artistic director\, resident writer and lead dreamer of the Big Top\, a venue that is widely celebrated. He also started and hosted Tent Show Radio for 15 years\, a nationally syndicated program.\nCanvas had been in his dreams since he was a young boy in Fairmont\, southern Minnesota\, tagging along behind his Dad\, who worked three or four county fairs a summer\, five days a week\, 10 to 12 hours a day in the machinery rows and the Dairy Barns. “And then there was the great State Fair\,” Nelson says.  “I ran the bright swirling lights of the carney lots\, went around and in and out of all the exhibit halls and caught every Grandstand Show and Thrill Cade. I got bit by the shine and good time. I wanted a stage from then on. I want to thank my mother who was a storyteller extraordinaire every hour of every ordinary day.”\nHe began writing songs and performing at age 15\, inspired by the Kingston Trio\, Chad Mitchell Trio\, Smothers Brothers\, and many other folk artists. His ultimate hero and mentor was\, still is and forever will be\, Mason Williams.\nNelson’s career took a foretelling turn in 1976 with the production of “A Martin County Hornpipe\,” a concert music history show\, singing and telling and showing by old photographs the story of his hometown.  “In my journal\, I had written an entry called “A Thing\,” states Nelson. “Combine your interests in history\, storytelling\, concert producing\, songwriting\, scriptwriting\, humor and old photographs into a performance piece that reveals the history of place through music and visuals.” It was the prototype of the unique shows that gave birth to and gives Lake Superior Big Top Chautauqua its unique identity. He has long been admired for his songwriting\, script works\, and stage presence.  \nWarren will be joined by Otis on harp and son Rowan on guitar and banjo.

SUMMARY:JONATHAN BYRD AND CHRIS KOKESH- THE BARN BIRDS
DESCRIPTION:JONATHAN BYRD and CHRIS KOKESH  These two solo artists (though they have each been involved in many collaborative projects) are touring in support of a duet album they released recently.  \nYou can see a YouTube video of a performance here. \nJonathan Byrd is a preacher’s son\, a Gulf War Navy veteran\, and a seventh generation North Carolinian whose songs you likely have heard\, even if you haven’t heard Byrd sing them. The Chicago Tribune called him “one of the top 50 songwriters of the last 50 years.” The Boston Globe gushed\, “This rootsy North Carolinian.displays John Prine’s gift for stark little songs that tell big\, complex stories\, Guy Clark’s lean melodicism\, Lyle Lovett’s wry mischief\, and Bill Morrissey’s knack for the revealing image.” \n“I thought I was listening to a young Doc Watson!” Jay Moulon\, Southeast Performer Magazine \nChris Kokesh is no newcomer to the folk music scene. In her 14 years with the all-woman quartet Misty River\, she became a veteran of festival stages and helped create the signature vocal blend of this northwest favorite. In July 2010\, October Valentine debuted on the Folk DJ charts at #20\, and Chris’s stunning songwriting\, crystalline vocals\, tasty fiddle and solid guitar distinguish her as a stand-alone talent. Onstage Kokesh reveals the inner workings of her heart with grace and an unexpectedly wry sense of humor. Jeff Douglas of Oregon Public Broadcasting says\, “Chris Kokesh is writing songs that stand up with the best. Keep an ear out for this emerging talent.”  Paxton said of Jonathan Byrd\, “What a treat to hear someone so deeply rooted in tradition\, yet growing in his own beautiful way.” \n“Chris Kokesh is a super mix of talent- a stunning solo artist… great voice\, fresh originality and a natural musicality…” Kate Power\, former owner of Portland’s folk institution\, Artichoke Music. \nJeff Douglas\, of Oregon Public Broadcasting says\, “When a song really works it’s hard to imagine those words with any other music\, like they always went together and the writer just discovered them. Chris Kokesh is writing songs like that.” \nPlease call to reserve. \nNOTA BENE: See calendar for art showing at the Carpe prior to this event- you may find it of interest.
