SUMMARY:JOHN STANO/ BRETT NEWSKI
DESCRIPTION:The trademark of singer/songwriter\, JOHN STANO individual sound is a distinctive blend of acoustic six string\, twelve string and National steel slide guitar\, mandolin\, rack harmonica and expressive vocals\, developed over many years of performance and study. Initially self-taught\, John went on to study American fingerstyle guitar at the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music and harmonica with national blues legend\, Jim Liban. ‘Sing Out’ compared John’s music to early Bob Dylan while ‘Dirty Linen’ was reminded of Country Joe McDonald. His style could be described as acoustic folk-blues\, or perhaps Americana\, as John’s influences also include rock\, bluegrass\, alt country and contemporary acoustic music. A skillful use of language adds an original spark to his lyrics. John was awarded first place at the Wisconsin Singer Songwriter Series Songwriting Competition finals\, held in November of 2012. John was also a ‘Big Top Chautauqua Songwriter of the Year Finalist for 2010’ and he performed under the Big Top. Besides his own songs\, John also performs his own arrangements of urban and country blues classics\, instrumentals and contemporary songs\, covering music by artists such as; John Prine\, Bob Dylan\, Greg Brown\, Little Walter\, Robert Johnson\, Mississippi John Hurt\, John Fahey\, Gillian Welch\, Leo Kottke and Tom Waits. John is a flexible and engaging performer who works regularly at a variety of indoor and outdoor venues. He also teaches guitar\, harmonica and other acoustic instruments from a private studio and has received various arts grants to present blues history\, harmonica performance and song writing classes in the public schools and private institutions such as Mount Mary College and Waukesha County Technical College. \nJohn represented Wisconsin at the 2012 International Blues Challenge in Memphis on historic Beale Street in the solo/duo category after winning a regional blues challenge sponsored by the Grafton Blues Society. John wrote and performed the soundtrack for a new locally produced documentary film called ‘Wisconsin’s and the Civil War’ that aired on Milwaukee Public Television.\nHis song ‘From A Rusty Cadillac’ was recently featured on NPR’s ‘Car Talk.’ His song\, “Caribou Bar and Grill” was recently featured on NPR on Michael Feldman’s “Whadya Know?” radio program.\nHis song ‘Dinosaur Bones’ from his first CD “Playing In Deep Water” was also included on a CD compilation called\, “A Celebration of Music/Volume 2.” Series contributors included Les Paul and The Bo Deans. His poetry was published in the Cream City Review\, where he was awarded 1st prize for poetry\, the Wisconsin Poet’s Calendar and the Shepherd Express. The Milwaukee Musician’s Cooperative also awarded his songwriting. \n\nBRETT NEWSKI

SUMMARY:RAY BONNEVILLE
DESCRIPTION:Many of those familiar with Red House recording artist  RAY Bonneville know that he is a hard driving\, blues influenced\, song and groove man who often writes about people who live on the fringe of society. Ray’s vibe is loose and soulful. With a greasy guitar style\, horn-like harmonica phrasing\, smoky vocal style and pulsing foot percussion he immediately rivets audiences. His solo performance fills a concert hall with all the sound layering and drama of a full band.  The consummate\, driven professional\, Ray plays more that one hundred and fifty shows a year across the US\, Canada and Europe.  He has a loyal\, enthusiastic fan base wherever he goes. \nIn 1999 he won the Juno award (Canada’s Grammy) and was nominated twice more after that. His song about the resilience of New Orleans\, “I am the Big Easy” was the most played song by North American folk DJs\, and won “Song of the Year” at Folk Alliance in Memphis in 2009\, the same city where he took first place in the International Blues Challenge in 2012. About that award he says “I just went to Memphis to meet some new folks\, so it took me by surprise when they announced my name; I see what I do as the offspring of traditional blues music”. \nHe was forty-one when he started writing songs and making records after playing all over for twenty years. When asked why it took so long\, he replied “it’s hard to say\, but I only spoke French until I was twelve years old when my family suddenly moved us from Quebec to the Boston area\, so maybe it took me that long to really feel the nuance of the English language”.

SUMMARY:NEW PIONEERS
DESCRIPTION:This five piece bluegrass ball of fire featuring vocals\, banjo\, fiddle\, guitar\, bass and mandolin graces us every 2nd Thursday of the month (usually). 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 also has played banjo with various folks in the northeastern WI and Madison areas\, most notably with the Green Bay based Fox River Flyer. As a bass player\, he’s performed shows with the Chicago Bluegrass Band\, Miltown Ramblers\, Krause Family\, Old Cool\, Spare Time Bluegrass Band\, Bob Steeno and The Old Truck\, and Down From the Hills\, and currently Madison’s newest\, Kettle Moraine. \nIt serves us well if you call to reserve.

SUMMARY:EMILY FORST
DESCRIPTION:Emily Forst is a singer-songwriter based in New York City. She is a Milwaukee native and a graduate of the Peck School of the Arts at UWM. Her debut album\, Here We Go\, recorded at the legendary Avatar Studios\, New York City\, is a timely collection of songs of hope\, healing\, and faith in the face of loss. The album has charted at #52 on i-Tunes and was a staff-pick on CD Baby. Emily was recently interviewed on the Border Crossings segment on Voice of America. Her music combines elements of pop\, rock and soul\, with layers of acoustic guitars and a full rock band.  There are sultry ballads\, reminiscent of Fiona Apple\, alongside anthemic stadium rockers à la U2. Emily’s strong yet vulnerable vocals span effortlessly across octaves and genres. It’s in her singing that we feel the emotional honesty of these songs\, matched by artistry and nuance.  The album is a blast of fresh air in a genre starved of creativity. This may be a debut\, but it’s packed with staying power. Though the tracks are as diverse as the dream-paved streets of New York City\, one thing is certain: Emily Forst is a musical talent to be reckoned with\, writing lyrics that linger long after the music stops playing.

SUMMARY:CLIFF EBERHARDT
DESCRIPTION:Cliff E. is a long-time favorite- a talented performer who will have you LOL. \nRed House recording artist Cliff Eberhardt 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. \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). \n“Eberhardt is as welcome as iced tea in August.”\n—People \n“Eberhardt is better than ever\, Steve McQueening his way into your heart at about ninety-eight miles an hour\, kicking ass with fresh insight and new ways to lament old yearnings.”\n—Philly Rock Guide \n“In a field of sensitive\, new-age guys\, Eberhardt digs deeper into life’s complexities and discovers much more compelling things to celebrate.”\n—The Boston Phoenix \n“Eberhardt sings with passion and with wit…what makes his brand so rare is the self-assurance and poise he brings to his nearly flawless show.”\n—The New York Post \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“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 \n“Eberhardt is a superb singer\, with a vast credible range of emotions\, and a soulfulness that draws from rock and pop\, but also from the best folk ballad styles.”\n– The Boston Globe \nThe Long Road (****)- “Eberhardt has complicated emotions and he articulates them with stunning clarity”\n– The Philadelphia Inquirer \n“If life were fair and stardom based on raw talent\, Cliff Eberhardt would be a household name.”\n—The Washington Times \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 \n“Cliff Eberhardt voted one of the top 100 Folk Artists of the last 20 years”\nWUMB Radio – Best of 2002\, 2003\,2004 \nAs usual\, please call to reserve.

SUMMARY:COLIN O'BRIEN/ CHRIS WAGONER & MARY GAINES
DESCRIPTION:Colin changed from a February 23rd date so that he could share the evening with his talented friends Chris Wagoner and Mary Gaines.   \nBanjo\, fiddle\, guitar\, footboard playin’ COLIN O’BRIEN\, will come to the Carpe hot off the release of his new CD\, “After a Song”\, recorded in Nashville last summer with some of music city’s best pickers: Larry Perkins\, Matt Combs\, Mark Howard and Dennis Crouch.  Those boys were so enthralled with Colin they urged him to move there\, which he and his wife\, after a bit of consideration (1 or 2 minutes)\, did.  \nIt was in the summer of 2011 that Nashville music legend Larry Perkins heard Colin’s set at the John Hartford Memorial Festival. Larry was side-struck. He immediately invited him down to Nashville make a record. The result\, After A Song\, features 12 of Colin’s originals and a band comprised of some of the late John Hartford’s band mates. \n    “After A Song…Bottles the lighting that was John Hartford’s engagingly off-center songwriting” – Jon Weisberger\, The Nashville Scene. \nColin even played John Hartford’s banjos for the sessions!  In addition to his solo work Mr. O’Brien has also recently formed The Colin O’Brien Stringband. It’s a veritable acoustic supergroup featuring some of Music City’s finest players\, Matt Combs\, Mike Compton and Todd Phillips. The group will be releasing a live recording “Live at the Station Inn” in very early 2013. \nColin has recently signed on with Nashville Artist Management and Promotion Company Rockin’ Robyn Productions. \nOriginally a jazz-guitar major at the University of WI-Stevens Point\, MARY GAINES truly found her musical voice studying jazz cello under the tutelage of the great Richard Davis (bass player with artists ranging from Sarah Vaughn to Van Morrison) at the UW-Madison. Mary is also known for her amazing voice–often compared to Bonnie Raitt but definitely her own. She (along with her husband\, Chris) has done extensive work as a session musician\, appearing on albums such as Smashing Pumpkin’s Gish\, several Freedy Johnston\, Willy Porter\, and Carrie Newcomer albums\, and scores of others.  \nA founding member of Madison’s Harmonious Wail\, The Common Faces\, The Bob Westfall Quartet\, and The Moon Gypsies (the latter three co-founded with Mary Gaines)\, CHRIS WAGONER has had his foot in just about every musical circle in Madison. Classically trained as a violinist\, (he also plays ukulele\, hawaiian guitar\, accordion)\, he met Mary while attending the UW-Madison. Switching to an alternating diet of jazz and classical violin studies\, while playing in bands ranging from rock\, blues\, bluegrass\, and country\, to folk and jazz\, Chris has been an in-demand performer and session musician in the region for almost two decades.
