PETER MULVEY, Kaia Fowler, Perry Baird, & Jessica Kennedy- a benefit for the Fowler Family
2013-06-21 19:00 - 23:00 (America/Chicago) | Cafe Carpe, Fort Atkinson
Please consider coming to this night of music and community to help out a local family.*
Local singer-songwriter Kaia Fowler’s family has been facing some major challenges these past 2 years. Her husband, Scott, went from feeling like a healthy 42-year-old man when the New Year rang in on January 1, 2011 to facing one of the deadliest and most difficult to treat cancers by April of that year. Since then, he has undergone surgery, radiation and a combined total of about 11 months of chemotherapy. His chemotherapy treatment is ongoing with no planned end-date. It is keeping him alive and is the recommended treatment for as long as it continues to work.
Even with insurance, costs for medical care and travel to treatment add up. Due to the severe anemia and other side effects, Scott was not able to keep working at his job, so, as of March, the family has gone from two incomes to one. Kaia and friends wanted to hold a benefit concert to build community support and to raise some funds to help with cancer-related expenses.
Music will begin with Kaia Fowler and Jessica Kennedy at 7. Perry Baird will play at 7:45, and headliner PETER MULVEY at 8:30.
*Come to enjoy the music and shared hope. If you cannot come please donate to the Scott Jaeger benefit fund by mail or in person at any branch of the Fort Community Credit Union.

KRAUSE FAMILY BAND
2013-06-22 20:30 - 23:00 | Cafe Carpe, Fort Atkinson
The KRAUSE FAMILY BAND
If you grew up in the Krause family, you were pretty much destined to love music. They sang together and learned to play a variety of instruments. Now, the Krause Family Band is known around Madison for their close harmonies on bluegrass standards and their own songs. Rick Krause (guitar, harmonica) heads up the group that includes daughters Katie Flores (lead vocals) and Ruthie Krause (fiddle), plus Craig Radi (bass), Jim Spransy (percussion), and Brian Montrey (electric guitar). Their 2007 CD, On This Bright, Sunny Day, is on the Magic Mansion label. The band performed on a Prairie Home Companion when it was taped in Wisconsin.

JEFFREY FOUCAULT w/Hayward Williams
2013-06-27 20:00 - 22:30 | Cafe Carpe, Fort Atkinson
JEFFREY FOUCAULT is following up his recent appearance with his band Cold Satellite with a solo performance. He will be joined by HAYWARD WILLIAMS.
Most of you know Wisconsin bornandraised Jeffrey, but those of you who don’t would be wiser if you found out.
Accolades could go on forever, so only a few are included.
TIME OUT CHICAGO:
“Wisconsin’s Jeffrey Foucault is the type of singer-songwriter whose talents sneak up on you. On paper, his description could apply to countless similar acts. In practice, Foucault frequently proves himself better than the rest, recalling the romanticized Americana of Bruce Springsteen, gazing through rain-streaked railway-car windows.”
ROUGHSTOCK:
“Like a great Townes Van Zandt, Bruce Robison, Guy Clark or Rodney Crowell album, Horse Latitudes is the kind of record that you listen to from start to finish and then sit there and marvel at how well the recording is put together… the songs are simply stunning in their breadth and lyrical scope”.
SANJOSE.COM:
“Jeffrey Foucault’s music has an ethereal, haunted quality to it that makes descriptors such as “roots soundscapes” and “old-weird-atmospheres” a bit more accurate than the typical “folk” or “Americana” tags… Foucault’s real strength lies in his ability to coax the feeling out of the darkest corners of a tune. His latest release, Horse Latitudes, is being touted as one of the best Americana releases of the year…”

MIDWEST GUITAR TRIO
2013-06-28 20:30 - 23:00 | Cafe Carpe, Fort Atkinson
The Midwest Guitar Trio is, simply stated, a celebration of the guitar. Kenn Fox, Dave Karnes, and Richard McKay weave a variety of sounds, styles and influences into a unique and exiting journey through the history of modern guitar. Their deep repertoire features British and American Folk Instrumentals, Celtic ballads, Ragtime, Gypsy Jazz, Swing, a few of their favorite Chet Atkins tunes, and a hearty array of original compositions. The arrangements are intricate and fun, showcasing both their mastery as players, as well as their respect for the music and its origins.

RICHARD PAUL THOMAS
2013-06-29 20:30 - 23:00 | Cafe Carpe, Fort Atkinson
RICHARD PAUL THOMAS (his friends call him RpT) is a free-thinking dreamer and Texas-based songwriter with decades of love, life and laughter to share. His songwriting spans a wide range of musical genres and emotional experiences ranging from light hearted fun to challenging one’s convictions about life and our place in the world. His writing and performance style encompasses elements of R&B, jazz, ballads and good old rock n’ roll. RpT’s soulful voice ranges from thermal to edgy reflecting the musical influences of a lifetime. His thought-provoking lyrics speak to the heart and soul of the listener while thoroughly entertaining his audiences.
On his latest album, Wings of My Heart, Thomas whittles his diverse array of influences and lifetime of experiences — including producing environmental festivals for Jacques Cousteau’s Cousteau Society — into a dozen self-penned tunes. Produced by Chris Gage and recorded at Austin’s Moonhouse Studio, it features musical contributions from Gage and his wife, Christine Albert, plus Kristin deWitt, Bruce Logan, Glenn Fukunaga and Steven Bernstein.
Thomas prides himself on exploring a wide range of musical genres — from rock and R&B to jazz and soulful balladry — and emotions that travel from lighthearted and fun to serious and introspective. His thought-provoking examinations of life’s joys and challenges come from the heart and speak to the soul.
Born in Milwaukee, Thomas started playing guitar in 1957, inspired by rising stars such as Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, the Everly Brothers and Roy Orbison. Captured by the British Invasion, he spent his high school years performing covers of the Kinks, the Rolling Stones and the Beatles. He met his first wife, Susan, in a folk group he’d joined; they wound up writing, recording (A Burst of Life) and touring together for 10 years, sharing stages with artists such as Anne Murray, Loggins & Messina, Helen Reddy, Townes Van Zandt, James Lee Stanley, Odetta and Michael Martin Murphey.
In the late ‘70s, Thomas became an associate director for the Cousteau Society, producing festivals meant to raise awareness about environmental issues. During that time, he met his second wife, Linda, and they settled in her hometown of Salado, Texas. They had a son and Thomas built a career as a software consultant.
In 2011, Thomas released the sound track from his one-man musical titled Captured Rainbow, based on the life of a consultant who spends most of his time on the road. The two-act play, performed in Austin, Milwaukee, Chicago and Salado, features stories and songs about his experiences and the people he meets along the way. One of its songs, “Salado,” was adopted by the Village of Salado, which stated in an official proclamation that it “represents our community’s spirit, character and history.”
Thomas calls the experience of recording his latest work with Gage “joyful, fun-filled and humbling.”
The title track reaches back to the days of Buddy Holly and all the songs that “never grow old” — songs that become a part of life’s soundtrack and “sing to the wings of my heart.”

Opener Ben Merens is singer/songwriter who is best known throughout the state for having been a primary voice of Wisconsin Public Radio for 21 years.
Ben also is a public speaker whose expertise is the art of listening and an improvisational musician who likes to write songs for you “while you wait.”
Ben uses the guitar as a storytelling tool and mixes originals with some unique versions of some standard covers. He also uses the style of “git-tap” to turn his guitar into a drum at times.

ERIC BLOWTORCH /Mike Plaisted
2013-07-26 20:00 - 23:00 | Cafe Carpe, Fort Atkinson/
Electric Eric Blowtorch
Singer/guitarist/songwriter Eric Blowtorch sings, plays, and writes reggae, ska, rocksteady, soul, rock ‘n’ roll, funk, hip-hop, Anglo-Afropop, and jazz songs with rhythm, melody, passion, and original comic timing. E.B. plays solo, in duos with selected stars, and sometimes more.
The new Eric Blowtorch album, on which E. B. plays drums, percussion, bass(electric and upright), piano, organ, guitar, and trumpet, in addition to singing, is entitled Eric Blowtorch Plays Himself. “Everybody has a gimmick,” Blowtorch claims. “Mine’s content” – emotional, communal, and political content delivered with intense guitar playing and singing.
Eric Blowtorch is an ambitious artist; some say lunatic. In fits of inspiration, E. B. put music to two tracks from Thomas Pynchon’s landmark novel Gravity’s Rainbow. One of the resulting songs appears as a ghost track at the end of the Milwaukee compilation CD Workman’s Comp. Dr. Larry Daw of The Modern World, a Pynchon fan website, describes one of E. B.’s interpretations of a Pynchon lyric as “stylistically unique and almost impossible to peg to one musical style. It shows great compositional skill and a tremendous sensitivity to what Pynchon was trying to say. It amplifies his meaning to a far greater extent that what one gets from just reading some printed words on a page.”

SONG SWAP w/ / TRICIA ALEXANDER, PETE JONNSON, DAVID HAWKINS
2013-08-03 20:30 - 23:00 | Cafe Carpe, Fort Atkinson
Song swaps are fun!! Lots of different talent thrown together and inspiring each other.
TRICIA ALEXANDER– Joy-filled, uplifting and inspiring are some of the words used to describe Tricia Alexander’s music and performance – which ranges from soothing and deeply spiritual to social commentary and humor.
Singer, songwriter, performance poet, accomplished guitarist, percussionist and harmonica player, Tricia moves between jazz, blues and folk, spoken word and music, original compositions and re-interpreted cover tunes – and she does it all with seamless grace.
Tricia has been known for many years as “one of Chicago’s finest folk performers – always a little on the jazzy side” (Chicago Sun Times). Her original blues, jazz and folk music ranges from soothing and deeply spiritual to social commentary – and from lightly romantic to slightly bawdy. Humanities Iowa calls her, “A modern-day Aesop” – and the Folk Music Source Book places her “intelligent contemporary writing” in the same league as: Holly Near, Cheryl Wheeler, Anne Hills and Christine Lavin.
Vibrant, uplifting and healing with a voice, lyrics and music that resonate the heart. Blue O’Connell, Eclectic Woman, WTJU FM VA)
PETE JONNSON is a fine guitar player and singer with an interesting repertoire of Americana tunes. He was one of the members of the trio Live Bait. He has made excellent use of his early retirement to submerge himself in his music.
DAVID HAWKINS is a songwriter, singer, and guitarist from the cities of Chicago (Rogers Park, Evanston, Lake Bluff), Tulsa, and New Orleans (Metairie).
A Few Thoughts from David:
You have no doubt noticed that thousands of websites are full of musicians looking for a style, a trend, an image, or even a true depiction of who they are–anything to be noticed as distinct identities in an ocean of identities. Often, even the really good musicians seem to be drops in the bucket, spit in the ocean. Music has to be more than an arsenal of hair, costumes, and poses. At its best, it is about how the spirit of a song calls to us. My vision is that the true voices in music will emerge from the blurred mass and be heard alongside the other true voices already among us. The way I see it, somewhere under all the layers is a true voice in everyone. Whether or not I have found my truest voice yet, I know that one of the ways that I feel closest to it is through writing or singing a song.

OPUS
2013-08-07 19:00 - 21:00

BRETT NEWSKI/Laura Balke
2013-08-09 20:30 - 23:00 | Cafe Carpe, Fort Atkinson
Spending six homeless months in Asia gives a man a lot to think about. Brett’s album In Between Exits is recorded and mixed from Bangkok to Hong Kong to the Philippines and everywhere in between. Makeshift studios in Couchsurfer apartments and budget hotels made it possible. Coined the “Homeless in Asia Tour”, “Exits” captures the liberating highs and loneliest lows of solo wanderlusting. Brett has returned to Wisconsin after living two years in Vietnam, and comes back to the Cafe Carpe to launch 3 months of national and international touring behind the album.
Brett will be joined by Laura Balke.

THE MINIMALISTS- guitar duo of Jeff Mason & Perry Baird
2013-08-23 20:00 - 22:30 | Cafe Carpe, Fort Atkinson
I had erroneously stated these gentlemen as playing on the 16th with an open stage scheduled on this date. Ignore that- this is the night, these are the guys. August 16th will be an open stage.
It was just a short 23+ years ago that Fort Atkinson’s own Perry Baird and Jeff Mason 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.
Perry 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.
Jeff 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.
You don’t want to wait another quarter-century before these guys get together again, so catch them while you can (and they’re able).
