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

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

SUMMARY:CARMEL MIKOL
DESCRIPTION:Carmel comes to celebrate the release of her new album “Creature”. \nA triple nominee at the 2011 East Coast Music Awards\, Carmel has always been a songwriter. 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

SUMMARY:MIKE COMPTON
DESCRIPTION:John Hartford once said that Mike Compton knows more about Bill Monroe style mandolin than the Father of Bluegrass himself. \nMike was born in 1956 in Jimmie Rodger’s hometown of Meridian\, Mississippi. His great grandfather was a fiddler. Mike was exposed to old-time music at an early age and received his first mandolin at the age of 15. He has been a member of the Nashville Bluegrass Band for two separate stints\, and toured and recorded with Hubert Davis & the Season Travelers\, John Hartford\, and David Grier.  The Nashville Bluegrass Band  has won two Grammy Awards\, two Entertainer of the year honors from the International Bluegrass Music Association and four wins as IBMA’s Vocal Group of the Year. \nMike recently received Grammy Award acknowledgement for playing the mandolin on two award winning projects\, “Oh Brother Where Art Thou?”\, Album of the Year and Best Compilation Soundtrack Album\, and “Down From the Mountain”\, Best Traditional Folk Album\, which included artists such as Dr. Ralph Stanley\, Norman and Nancy Blake\, Alison Kraus and Union Station\, Gillian Welch/David Rawlings\, Emmy Lou Harris\, The Whites\, The Cox Family\, The Fairfield Four\, Chris Thomas King\, NBB\, John Hartford\, to name a few. He was also part of last year’s sold out “Down From the Mountain” tours which included the original soundtrack cast and Ricky Skaggs\, Patty Loveless\, the Del McCoury Band\, and Rodney Crowell. \nMike was featured prominently on Dr. Ralph Stanley’s recent work produced by recording industry legend T-Bone Burnett. Mike recently participated in the soundtrack for  “Cold Mountain” also produced by Mr. Burnett. \nPlease call to reserve seats.

SUMMARY:JEFFREY FOUCAULT/ Hayward Williams
DESCRIPTION:“HAUNTING AND POIGNANT TRIUMPH FROM AMERICAN SINGER Jeffrey Foucault is an original\, beguiling songwriter with a marvelously expressive voice. He brings these talents together\, along with fine guitar playing\, to create a terrific album… John Updike once wrote of a character who was like an open window through which the rain poured. Foucault’s album captures that poignancy”. \nLongtime disciple of the rich and strange \nmusic that sings behind the American veil\, Jeffrey Foucault has spent the last decade mining the darker seams of country and blues\, producing a string of spare and elemental albums of rare power while garnering accolades across the United States and overseas (check the website\, he has an accolade record as long as an orangutan’s arm) for a tersely elegant brand of songwriting set apart by its haunting imagery and weather-beaten cool. \nHe lives in Western Massachusetts\, but he spent his earlier decades honing his life in southeastern Wisconsin. \n\nHayward Williams\, another proud Wisconsonian- \n“Given the plethora of American singer-songwriters\, to stand out they have to be something special. Wisconsin native Hayward Williams fits the bill to judge by this sparse\, concentrated slice of thoughtful\, folky Americana. Recorded “on the crest of the coldest winter in recent memory”\, the music has a huddled-down\, blanketed warmth in which you can almost hear the sparks of the fire as Dan McMahon’s electric guitar picks out notes against an acoustic guitar backdrop in the evocative title track and Mockingbird. There are splashes of violin\, viola\, mandolin and pedal steel\, and hushed\, tuneful voices to flesh out Williams’s rich\, resigned tone. The eight songs (plus an unnamed extra)\, with themes of recollection and reflection wrapped in simple\, timeless melodies\, are most impressive.”  Irish Times \n

SUMMARY:PAMELA MEANS/ BILL CAMPLIN
DESCRIPTION:Pamela Means\, “one of the fiercest guitar players and politically-rooted singer-songwriters in the music industry today\,” (Curve Magazine) is touring the world with her “mad guitar-and-vocal skills” (Time Out New York)\, “insanely brilliant” (Press Herald\, Portland ME) tunes\, and refreshing take on jazz standards. \nPamela Means’s new acoustic album\, “Precedent\,” is an acclaimed follow-up to both “Pamela Means Jazz Project M Vol. 1” (Top 10 Album of 2007 – Muruch.com)\, in which\, “Means takes her rightful place among contemporary\njazz vocalists such as Cassandra Wilson and Norah Jones” (Curve Magazine); and the preceding politically-provocative Pamela Means release\, “Single Bullet Theory\,” named 2004 Outmusic Outstanding New Recording of the Year. \nPamela will be sharing the evening with less fierce but very capable Bill Camplin\, whom some of you know as “Bill”. \nCheck out Bill on Facebook as the Bill Camplin Band\, or look for performances on YouTube.
