SUMMARY:LARRY UNGER w/ AUDREY KNUTH
DESCRIPTION:Please call 920-563-9391 to reserve seats. Also\, COVID precautions (proof of vaccination and wearing of masks in listening room) are still in place.   \nEnjoy this clip of Larry and Audrey. \nLARRY UNGER was raised in Detroit\, and he moved to the Boston area as a young adult. He has been a full-time musician since 1984\, and he has presented a diverse range of music at contra dances\, Scottish and English country dances\, waltz events\, dance weekends\, dance and music camps\, festivals\, coffee houses and concerts all across the United States. He has also toured in Canada\, England\, Scotland\, France\, Belgium\, Germany\, Italy\, Denmark and Sweden\, and has taught music in Afghanistan and performed in India. \nLarry has played guitar\, banjo\, and bass with many top bands for contra dances including Big Table\, Notorious\, Reckless Abandon\, The Reckless Ramblers\, Tempest and Uncle Gizmo. He has accompanied such fiddlers as Elke Baker\, Ralph Blizard\, Alasdair Fraser\, Matt Glaser\, Judy Hyman\, Audrey Knuth\, Rodney Miller\, Lissa Schneckenburger\, and Eden MacAdam-Somer\, to name a few. The bands Larry has been a part of vary in style from old-time to New England to Celtic and international. \nIn addition to his work with other musicians\, Larry gives solo concerts that include a wide variety of music: finger-style blues and slide guitar\, rags\, old-time banjo tunes\, original waltzes and fiddle tunes. He likes to play a number of unusual instruments such as banjo guitar\, fretless banjo\, jaw harp and piano harp. \nLarry has a broad understanding of traditional music\, and he enjoys telling the stories about the origins of his music and the people he learned from. Larry spent many hours playing blues with Etta Baker\, John Jackson\, Turner Foddrell\, Ted Bogan\, and other masters of the style. His trips south also included numerous sessions at old-time fiddle conventions. \nLarry has composed more than 5000 tunes\, many of which have been recorded by one of his bands or by other groups. His tunes are widely played at contra dances everywhere. He has published three books of original tunes and has recorded two entire CDs of original waltzes (with Ginny Snowe). \nLarry’s compositions and recordings have been featured in four different Ken Burns television documentaries. His tune “Door County #2” was played on the Grand Ole Opry by Mike Snider. “That Schoenberg Rag” was performed by the San Luis Obispo Symphony Orchestra. \nLarry teaches guitar and old-time banjo at the Music Emporium in Lexington\, Massachusetts. (He has also been known to give bass or ukulele lessons.) He also presents workshops at camps and weekend festivals on a variety of topics from guitar and banjo to dance-band and tune-writing. \nYou know AUDREY KNUTH is performing if the room is buzzing at a higher level. Her fiddling\, featured in bands including The Free Raisins\, The Gaslight Tinkers\, Audacious (with Larry Unger)\, and Wake Up Robin\, has electrified dance and concert halls across the US and Europe. Hailing from Honolulu and now living in California\, she cut her folk teeth in the Boston area\, attending Berklee College of Music and spending years exploring the thriving New England folk scene. Audrey’s fiddle playing is rhythmically lively and spontaneous; she’s guaranteed to get you up and dancing. She specializes in English dance\, New England\, Celtic\, and Old Time tunes (and did we mention she’s also an audio engineer?!). You might also have taken a workshop with Audrey\, as she’s been on staff at various camps including various weeks at Pinewoods\, Ashokan Northern Week\, BACDS American week\, New London Assembly and Halsway Manor.

SUMMARY:BILL CAMPLIN & MICHAEL HECHT
DESCRIPTION:Please call 920-563-9391 to reserve seats.** \n\nFrom the mouth of Bill before the last time he did such a show with Michael: \n\n“This Thursday\, May 20th I will be sharing an evening of excerpts form the writing of poets\, playwrights\, authors and historical figures with Michael Hecht.  These will include Helen Keller\, Arthur Miller\, Eric Maria Ramarque\, Lucy Atkins\, Yusef Kamuryakaa\, Jimmy Santiago Baca\, Dalton Trumbo\, Martin Luther King Richard Harrison\, Paul Laurence Dunbar and Langston Hughes. \nThis will be at least the 7th time we have worked together with me supplying songs spaced between the writing he has organized and reads from.  I have never had a better collaboration in which to place songs\, which in this case are all my own writings.  It is not to presume that I am equating my own lyrics with any of these writers\, but allows me to visit the type of writing that has inspired and informed me through out my 74 years ( minus the first 7 or so).  Most of Mr. Hecht’s choices were specifically unknown to me so I am in the audience too.  As I listen I find a comfortability in performing that I have seldom had.  It feels so right.” \nThis night Michael will be doing readings from Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr. and Mary Oliver. Bill has not revealed his sources. \n**ATTENTION: re the coronavirus situation. The small space of the listening room prevents any reasonable distancing. For the safety of everyone\, and to protect the performers who cannot mask while performing\, we will be requiring: \n\n\nproof of vaccination\nmask wearing in the listening room\, (and recommending it in all of our spaces when not eating or drinking.)\n\nKeep checking for updates\, as circumstances could require further measures\, or even cancellation.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED!!!!!- Humbird/ Her Crooked Heart
DESCRIPTION:Dangerous icy weather in the Twin Cities is preventing them from driving down for the show.  They will try to reschedule. Lonesome Bill Camplin will occupy the stage at 8:00.  Please call 920-563-9391 to reserve seats if that option interests you. \nATTN:  While COVID is still misbehaving\, we are requiring proof of vaccination as well as mask wearing in the listening room. \nWe are so happy that Siri (Humbird) and Rachel (Her Crooked Heart) have agreed to return after they wowed people during the Lamplighter Sessions this December. They will swap songs\, and accompany each other at their whim. \nWe will also be live streaming- click on this to buy tickets for the live stream. \nTICKETS FOR THE IN PERSON SHOW: \n\n      \n        \n      \n    \nHUMBIRD will be Siri Undlin solo. Combining a wintry longing with the warmth of a familiar folktale\, Humbird stretches between experimental folk and environmental Americana to embrace the unexpected. Her music invites a refreshing dissonance into the house\, it leaves breadcrumbs along the path and reflects light back at the stars. \nHER CROOKED HEART is writer\, multi-instrumentalist and producer Rachael Ries. Rachael is a Minneapolis-based musician\, songwriter\, Kith + Kin Chorus director\, sideman\, auntie\, artist and tiny home inhabiter. She has released four albums and four EPs\, including the country ep\, a split 45 of countryish duets with longtime friend and collaborator\, Anaïs Mitchell. In 2016\, with the release of To Gentlemen\, Rachel parted ways from performing as “Rachel Ries” and now writes for and tours with her new project\, HER CROOKED HEART. HCH carries Rachel’s wry and powerfully tender writing farther down the path of instrumental expansion and distillation. HCH’s debut album\,To Love To Leave To Live\, was released May 2019. \nHear Siri and Rachel together here just for fun.

SUMMARY:ELLIS PAUL
DESCRIPTION:Buy tickets for the in-house show below the bio.  COVID protocols remain in place. Mask wearing in back room and proof of vaccination required. \nPurchase tickets for the live stream here. \nELLIS PAUL is a troubadour\, a singer/songwriter\, a folky\, and a storyteller — all are fair labels for this artist\, but they do not quite suffice. However\, the tattoo of Woody Guthrie worn proudly on his arm is a good starting place from which to grasp Ellis Paul\, for it is from the Woody Guthrie tradition that he hails\, and Maine as well. Joni Mitchell\, Bob Dylan\, and James Taylor are also listed among his influences\, and their spirits seem to occasionally grace his work. With an acoustic guitar in hand\, he weaves intimate\, provocative\, and romantic tales of lives that were obviously witnessed by a most-talented voyeur.  \nBased in Massachusetts\, Paul has been called the quintessential Boston songwriter more than a few times and has garnered the recognition and awards to back up that claim\, including a shelf full of Boston Music Awards. Since coming onto the scene in 1993 with his independent debut\, Say Something\, Paul hasn’t slowed or weakened as a performer or a writer. Spending two-thirds of most years on the road has helped him perfect both crafts\, with a lot of practice on-stage and a lot of people whose stories he retells in song. In fact\, his 1994 album Stories proved enchanting enough to secure him a deal with Rounder Records and a national following of dedicated fans.  \nOver the years and albums\, his songs have gotten more personal. He purposely turned the looking glass onto his own life for 1998’s aptly titled Translucent Soul as he publicly worked through the pain of his divorce. Following hot on the heels of 1999’s double-CD Live\, the new millennium saw Paul’s song “The World Ain’t Slowing Down” featured in Me\, Myself and Irene starring Jim Carrey.  \nHis eighth studio release\, a collection of previously unreleased tracks called Sweet Mistakes\, arrived in 2001\, followed by Speed of Trees (2002)\, a two-disc career retrospective (2006)\, a children’s record inspired by the birth of his second daughter called The Dragonfly Races (2008)\, and\, finally\, an all-new studio album\, The Day After Everything Changed\, in January 2010. In 2012\, Paul released his second children’s record\, The Hero in You\, which featured songs about Benjamin Franklin\, Georgia O’ Keefe\, Rosa Parks\, and Thomas Edison\, and other notable Americans that Paul deemed heroic.

SUMMARY:Jeff Stehy/ Mark Soriano/ Eliza Hanson- POSTPONED
DESCRIPTION:Sigh\, another COVID postponement.  Keep checking for updates. They will reschedule for a later date. \n\n\n\n\nPlease call 920-563-9391 to reserve seats. If it has not been updated here\, be sure to check with us about COVID protocols.Masks and proof of vaccination WILL be required if we are not out of the woods. \nIt is not surprising that JEFF STEHR\, a twenty-first century\, glass half-empty cognoscenti songwriter from Milwaukee\, Wisconsin\, enjoys stage names. Hunter Gatherer. Matthew McCudahy. Rich Caramel. In dark times\, entertainers need more than melodies and rhymes to conjure up the good times.The songs are mostly wordplay atop a bed of Jamaican one drop rhythms\, explicit and implied\, and dusted with powdered sugar\, cocoa and diatonic doom. All styles and influences are on the menu. All genres are accomplices.  \nWhen he’s not doing solo shows\, Jeff plays the piano with The Best Westerns\, The John Sieger Combo and The Mike Benign Compulsion. He led Milwaukee-based rock steady ensemble\, The Tritonics\, from 2009 – 2020\, and is an esteemed alum of local ensembles World Roots\, Brave New Groove\, Mark Truesdell & The Lost Pioneers and C-Food Buffet\, who once accidentally opened for Jimmy Buffet at Alpine Valley Music Theater in 1990.\nELIZA HANSON knows how to smooth out life’s ups and downs by covering them with melody and charm. After releasing her first EP in 2016\, she has been very fortunate to enjoy acclaimed success around the Milwaukee area playing stages such as Turner Hall\, Milwaukee PrideFest\, Evanston SPACE\, The Frequency\, among many other venues. After a postponed 2020 tour\, Eliza got back on the road in 2021 bringing her music to places it’s never been before\, collecting new stories and friends along the way. Now home\, she’s gearing up to get back in the studio to record a full length record sure to combine the honesty of a traditional singer/songwriter\, mixed with an indie folk flare to project a style all her own. Eliza blends soulful vocals with carefully crafted lyrics to create an emotionally authentic listening environment. \nOver the last decade\, MARK J. SORIANO has played for many of Milwaukee’s favorite bands like Dropbear Collective\, The Oxleys\, Fellow Kinsman and The Hatchets. When the world shut down in 2020\, Mark stepped out of the drummer’s role and began recording as a solo artist\, releasing a handful singles and now his debut EP\, So Strange. As a Milwaukee native\, Mark not only pulls inspiration from folk\, country and alternative rock\, but from the unique experiences of the city itself. \n“This song and the entire EP were recorded over quarantine and was my way of dealing with everything. Like many other people\, I fell hard into my vices so all of the songs helped me reflect and ultimately\, turn things around. Music has always pulled me out of the dark and I hope these songs can help someone else.”-Mark \nUntil Dec. 13th\, all sales from this single\, made on bandcamp will be donated to the Safe Harbor Program at the Milwaukee Rescue Mission. The program is dedicated to helping men break free from addictions and provides both long-term and short term services. \nhttps://milmission.org/programs/safe-harbor/“

SUMMARY:SWAY WILD - CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:So sad this show has been CANCELLED.  Somewhere down the line COVID has struck again and Dave and Mandy have had to cancel this tour. \nATTENTION: The Delta variant has us once again rethinking how to safely do our business. The CDC recommends that vaccinated Americans return to wearing masks in indoor spaces in communities where coronavirus transmission is substantial or high\, and Jefferson county\, Wisconsin\, is currently in the substantial category https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#county-view\, so we’ll do our part. Keep checking for updates\, as circumstances can change. \nThe small space of the listening room prevents any reasonable distancing. For the safety of everyone we will be requiring: \n\nproof of vaccination or a recent negative Covid test\nmask wearing in the listening room\, (and recommending it in all of our spaces when not eating or drinking.)\n\nSWAY WILD–  Internationally acclaimed indie folk-rock duo Mandy Fer and Dave McGraw (from San Juan Islands\, WA) are back at it with a new sound\, and a new name: Sway Wild! Their exceptional vocal harmonies\, coupled with Fer’s pioneering electric guitar work\, have become a vehicle to carry them around the world\, sharing stages with the likes of Iron & Wine\, Lake Street Dive\, Gregory Alan Isakov\, and Mandolin Orange. Sway Wild’s infectious sound explores the corners of rock\, pop\, funk\, prog\, worldbeat\, and folk\, but at its nucleus it is undeniably a music full of joy. It can squeeze the heart in your chest\, it can draw tears from your eyes\, and it can force you to get up and move your body; over and over\, it somehow manages to do all three at once. Mandy Fer also tours as the lead guitarist for Allison Russell and recently performed with Brandi Carlile and Jason Isbell. \n“Grooving…wistful\, driving\, and a masterful combination…velvety vocals over staccato guitar and light percussion capture your attention with Sway Wild.”\nParade Magazine \n“…high energy (and) soulful… Like The Wood Brothers and Lake Street Dive\, Sway Wild hones a universal\nlikeability where uptempo anthems and melodic precision prevail. Fer is an impressive…[and] masterful guitarist…”\nGlide Magazine

SUMMARY:ORDINARY ELEPHANT/ RACHAEL KILGOUR/ WES COLLINS
DESCRIPTION:ATTENTION: The Delta variant has us once again rethinking how to safely do our business. The CDC recommends that vaccinated Americans return to wearing masks in indoor spaces in communities where coronavirus transmission is substantial or high\, and Jefferson county\, Wisconsin\, is currently in the substantial category https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#county-view\, so we’ll do our part. \n\nThe small space of the listening room prevents any reasonable distancing. For the safety of everyone\, and to protect the performers who cannot mask while performing\, we will be requiring: \n\nproof of vaccination or a recent negative Covid test \nmask wearing in the listening room\, (and recommending it in all of our spaces when not eating or drinking.)\n\nKeep checking for updates\, as circumstances can change. \n\nThe stars have aligned to bring us these 3 great acts in the round on this night. \n\n      \n        \n      \n    \nInternational Folk Music Awards 2017 Artist of the Year ORDINARY ELEPHANT captivates audiences with their emotionally powerful and vulnerable songs\, letting the listener know that they are not alone in this world. The collaboration of husband and wife Pete and Crystal Damore\, their connection\, and their influences (such as Gillian Welch\, Guy Clark\, Anais Mitchell) all meet on stage. \n“Two become one\, in song…hand-in-glove harmonies surprise the listener with focused intensity and musical mastery\,” says Mary Gauthier. \nThe Associated Press is calling their latest album\, Honest\, “one of the best Americana albums of the year.” \n“I’m a big fan…intimate songs\, weaving harmonies\, and stories that draw you in as if you were gathered around an enchanted campfire.” — Eliza Gilkyson \nRACHAEL KILGOUR is a Minnesotan songwriter and performing artist whose sincere\, lyric-driven work has been called both brave and humane. The 2015 grand prize winner of the esteemed international NewSong Music Performance & Songwriting Competition and winner of the 2017 Kerrville New Folk Contest\, Kilgour has been featured at NYC’s Lincoln Center\, at The Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. and by the ASCAP Music Cafe at the Sundance Film Festival. \nCalled “…a heartfelt slice of master crafted indie folk brimming with the battle-tested capacity to endure the worst in others” by Billboard\, [her third album}Rabbit in the Road took an intimate and often painful look at the failed marriage and loss of family. Kilgour’s writing and delivery cut deep\, with resolute simplicity. Ravelin Magazine observed “this sort of metonymic ability to evoke the whole of someone or the entirety of a feeling is typical of Kilgour’s poetic songwriting.” \nHer newest EP\, Game Changer\, examines the artist’s tentative first steps into a new existence\, post-heartbreak. With a clear head\, Kilgour touches on the complicated nature of romance and relationship\, sets up a stunning defense of queer love\, and reassesses her priorities as a citizen of a changing wider world. \nAt age 44\, WES COLLINS and his wife Anita made a pact to become writers: she started writing fiction and Wes penned his first song. A few years later\, they were both multi-award-winners in their fields. Collins more than makes up for lost time with songs so dense with ideas that a first listen only scratches the surface. Come for a haunting melody and some intricate fingerpicking and stay for the wit and deep literary intelligence. There is always more to find in a Wes Collins song. \nWes has played shows from coast to coast including: The Blue Bird Cafe in Nashville\, TN; The Kerrville Folk Festival in Kerrville\, TX; the Cary Theater in Cary\, NC (opening for Dave Olney); and many more. He is a winner of the prestigious Grassy Hills New Folk Competition and a North Carolina Arts Council Songwriting Fellowship\, and has been featured as a finalist in The Telluride Troubadour Contest in Telluride\, CO; The Songwriter’s Serenade Competition in Moravia\, TX; and The Wildflower Performing Songwriter Contest in Dallas\, TX.
