Lots of different talent thrown together and inspiring each other. \nTRICIA 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. \nSinger\, 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. \nTricia 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.　 \nVibrant\, uplifting and healing with a voice\, lyrics and music that resonate the heart. Blue O’Connell\, Eclectic Woman\, WTJU FM VA) \nPETE 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. \nDAVID HAWKINS is a songwriter\, singer\, and guitarist from the cities of Chicago (Rogers Park\, Evanston\, Lake Bluff)\, Tulsa\, and New Orleans (Metairie). \nA Few Thoughts from David: \nYou 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.

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. \nBrett will be joined by Laura Balke.

Ignore that- this is the night\, these are the guys. August 16th will be an open stage. \nIt 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. \nPerry 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. \nJeff 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. \nYou don’t want to wait another quarter-century before these guys get together again\, so catch them while you can (and they’re able).
