SUMMARY:ZOE MUTH & the LOST HIGH ROLLERS
DESCRIPTION:ZOE MUTH \nStaffer Dennis had been playing her in the kitchen all the time\, and then we get the phone call asking if she could play here.  If you build it\, they will storm your kitchen. \n Praise for 2012’s Old Gold: \n“Muth sings like a lost lamented Carter sister . . .Her decidedly un-Joplin-esque take on ‘Get It While You Can’ is an inspired highlight.”\n-Vintage Guitar Magazine \nPraise for 2012’s Starlight Hotel: \n“With a haunting voice that treads soul and country and can only be described as a cosmic americana\, Zoe Muth delivers songs that sound like vintage country classics.”\n– Twangville  \n“We rarely talk about country music as being “soulful” or having “soul”\, but thank god Zoe Muth is here to change this…the gentle truth of her songwriting and the softness of her voice lend a weight to the music that gives Starlight Hotel\, a true feeling of soulfulness… an astonishingly good songwriter.”\n– No Depression \n“Muth has gifted the world with a collection of music that is straight no chaser . . .Just when you start to believe that they just don’t make ’em the way they used to\, Zoe Muth and the Lost High Rollers come along to restore your faith.”\n– Country Standard Time  \n“It’s clear\, unforced passion\, “not for the jet set\, but the old Chevrolet set\,” that informs all of these songs\, along with a high\, pure voice that rises to Iris Dement and Patty Griffin territory…There isn’t a bad song on this album…honky-tonk comes so naturally to the young Muth\, along with a charming drawl…”\n– The Billings Gazette \n‘Starlight Hotel is one of those albums that you need if your first exposures to country music came from the static-y radio in the cab of your dad’s old pickup truck… essential listening.’\n– ninebullets.net

SUMMARY:JONATHAN BYRD AND CHRIS KOKESH- THE BARN BIRDS
DESCRIPTION:JONATHAN BYRD and CHRIS KOKESH  These two solo artists (though they have each been involved in many collaborative projects) are touring in support of a duet album they released recently.  \nYou can see a YouTube video of a performance here. \nJonathan Byrd is a preacher’s son\, a Gulf War Navy veteran\, and a seventh generation North Carolinian whose songs you likely have heard\, even if you haven’t heard Byrd sing them. The Chicago Tribune called him “one of the top 50 songwriters of the last 50 years.” The Boston Globe gushed\, “This rootsy North Carolinian.displays John Prine’s gift for stark little songs that tell big\, complex stories\, Guy Clark’s lean melodicism\, Lyle Lovett’s wry mischief\, and Bill Morrissey’s knack for the revealing image.” \n“I thought I was listening to a young Doc Watson!” Jay Moulon\, Southeast Performer Magazine \nChris Kokesh is no newcomer to the folk music scene. In her 14 years with the all-woman quartet Misty River\, she became a veteran of festival stages and helped create the signature vocal blend of this northwest favorite. In July 2010\, October Valentine debuted on the Folk DJ charts at #20\, and Chris’s stunning songwriting\, crystalline vocals\, tasty fiddle and solid guitar distinguish her as a stand-alone talent. Onstage Kokesh reveals the inner workings of her heart with grace and an unexpectedly wry sense of humor. Jeff Douglas of Oregon Public Broadcasting says\, “Chris Kokesh is writing songs that stand up with the best. Keep an ear out for this emerging talent.”  Paxton said of Jonathan Byrd\, “What a treat to hear someone so deeply rooted in tradition\, yet growing in his own beautiful way.” \n“Chris Kokesh is a super mix of talent- a stunning solo artist… great voice\, fresh originality and a natural musicality…” Kate Power\, former owner of Portland’s folk institution\, Artichoke Music. \nJeff Douglas\, of Oregon Public Broadcasting says\, “When a song really works it’s hard to imagine those words with any other music\, like they always went together and the writer just discovered them. Chris Kokesh is writing songs like that.” \nPlease call to reserve. \nNOTA BENE: See calendar for art showing at the Carpe prior to this event- you may find it of interest.

You are in for a very entertaining evening.”    Village Voice \n“This man is a great artist – his songs are finely-crafted and richly textured\, with immediately memorable melodies and thought provoking lyrics\, and his guitar playing is simply gorgeous\, alternating between subtle finger picking. Lush chording\, stark simplicity\, rhythmically-charged complexity\, and many and varied shades in between” – Fi Magazine. \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.

SUMMARY:WARREN NELSON with OTIS MCLENNON & ROWAN NELSON
DESCRIPTION:WARREN NELSON  Songwriter\, Musician\, Poet\, Performer\, Writer\, Producer\, Storyteller\, Historian\, Tent-show junkie “Man of the Cloth”\nA professional musician and entertainer since the late 1960’s\, Warren Nelson’s trail has taken him across the US\, “both sides of 1970.” From his first full-time professional group The Tenth Story Window (he met Elvis twice!)\, to Colorado where he spent five years writing and playing music in the mountains\, to the Madison\, Wisconsin area where he formed the Lost Nation String Band with Don Pavel. He moved to northern Wisconsin’s Bayfield Peninsula where he founded Lake Superior Big Top Chautauqua in 1986. For 23 seasons\, through 2008\, Nelson was the ringmaster\, centerpole\, artistic director\, resident writer and lead dreamer of the Big Top\, a venue that is widely celebrated. He also started and hosted Tent Show Radio for 15 years\, a nationally syndicated program.\nCanvas had been in his dreams since he was a young boy in Fairmont\, southern Minnesota\, tagging along behind his Dad\, who worked three or four county fairs a summer\, five days a week\, 10 to 12 hours a day in the machinery rows and the Dairy Barns. “And then there was the great State Fair\,” Nelson says.  “I ran the bright swirling lights of the carney lots\, went around and in and out of all the exhibit halls and caught every Grandstand Show and Thrill Cade. I got bit by the shine and good time. I wanted a stage from then on. I want to thank my mother who was a storyteller extraordinaire every hour of every ordinary day.”\nHe began writing songs and performing at age 15\, inspired by the Kingston Trio\, Chad Mitchell Trio\, Smothers Brothers\, and many other folk artists. His ultimate hero and mentor was\, still is and forever will be\, Mason Williams.\nNelson’s career took a foretelling turn in 1976 with the production of “A Martin County Hornpipe\,” a concert music history show\, singing and telling and showing by old photographs the story of his hometown.  “In my journal\, I had written an entry called “A Thing\,” states Nelson. “Combine your interests in history\, storytelling\, concert producing\, songwriting\, scriptwriting\, humor and old photographs into a performance piece that reveals the history of place through music and visuals.” It was the prototype of the unique shows that gave birth to and gives Lake Superior Big Top Chautauqua its unique identity. He has long been admired for his songwriting\, script works\, and stage presence.  \nWarren will be joined by Otis on harp and son Rowan on guitar and banjo.

SUMMARY:MEG HUTCHINSON
DESCRIPTION:Meg Hutchinson is an award-winning songwriter who artfully documents the human condition. With a poet’s ease\, she makes the personal universal\, allowing people’s stories to come alive through her unique vocals and haunting melodies. Since the release of her Red House Records debut COME UP FULL in 2008\, she has won high praise for her songwriting and has been featured nationally on NPR Music\, XM/Sirius Radio and several times on the syndicated show Mountain Stage. Publications like The Winnipeg Free Press have compared her songwriting with that of veterans Mary Chapin Carpenter and Joni Mitchell. \nGrowing up in the Berkshire Mountains of Western Massachusetts\, the woods and rivers were her childhood muses\, as were songwriters like Greg Brown and Joni Mitchell\, and poets like Mary Oliver\, William Stafford\, and Robert Frost. When Hutchinson inherited her grandmother’s 1957 Martin guitar at age eleven\, her love of words found an inspiring instrument\, and there was no turning back. “Songwriting is not something I chose\, I’ve just somehow always known that this is what I love to do. This is what I can’t help but do\,” she says. \nAfter graduating from college with a degree in creative writing\, Hutchinson quit her longtime job on an organic farm and settled in Boston. In between gigs at pubs\, coffeehouses and train stations\, she won a Kerrville New Folk Award (2000) and was nominated for a Boston Music Award for her first studio album AGAINST THE GREY. \nShe went on to win awards at the Rocky Mountain Folks Fest\, the Telluride Troubadour Songwriter’s Showcase in Colorado and The Chris Austin Songwriting Contest at Merlefest in North Carolina\, all in the course of a year\, causing national publications like Performing Songwriter to take notice. They called Hutchinson “A master of introspective ballads filled with understated yearning and an exquisite sense of metaphor.” \nShe quickly became an integral part of the vibrant Boston songwriting community. Like every great performer who has come out of the Boston scene\, Hutchinson took to the subway\, performing in Park Street\, Downtown Crossing and Harvard Square – honing her chops in the same method of predecessors like Martin Sexton\, John Mayer\, and Tracy Chapman. \nIn her newest album\, BEYOND THAT (releases September 24th 2013 on Red House Records) Hutchinson teams up once again with veteran Boston producer Crit Harmon for what is her most modern and intricate production to date. \nShe says “Crit and I have worked together for a decade now. I wanted to build on that trust and that shared musical language and really encourage each other to find new sounds. I felt that I had reached a new landscape in myself and I wanted the album to reflect that.”

SUMMARY:ELLIS PAUL
DESCRIPTION:ELLIS PAUL\n“A singer songwriter is only as good as the times he reflects. In times like these\, when so many nuts are running the show\, it’s comforting to know that Ellis Paul is actually holding our sanity on his own stage! Wise\, tender\, brilliant and biting\, Ellis is one of our best human compasses\, marking in melodies and poems where we’ve been and where we might go if we so choose to. Personally Ellis\, I’m goin’ where you’re goin’!”  –Nora Guthrie (Woody Guthrie’s daughter)  \nEllis Paul is one of the leading voices in American songwriting and one of the top songwriters to emerge out of the fertile Boston folk scene. He helped create a movement that revitalized the national acoustic circuit with an urban\, literate\, folk rock style that helped renew interest in the genre in the 90’s. \nHis charismatic\, personally authentic performance style has influenced a generation of artists away from the artifice of pop\, and closer towards the realness of folk. Though he remains among the most pop-friendly of today’s singer-songwriters – his songs regularly appear in hit movie and TV soundtracks – he has bridged the gulf between the modern folk sound and the populist traditions of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger more successfully than perhaps any of his songwriting peers.
