SUMMARY:ELLIS PAUL
DESCRIPTION:“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. \n

SUMMARY:PHIL LEE
DESCRIPTION:PHIL LEE \n“All this while keeping true to his unique and singular mission; to write songs that try to make sense out of this world\, open some eyes\, call out some fools and ring out some hard truths. Yet\, admirable as such pursuits may be he’s simply being true to who he is. Phil Lee’s music will make you think and laugh and maybe shed a tear or two but it also provides hours of playtime fun because all of those things are part of the package. He couldn’t do it any other way.\nPhil is a hipster madman Huck Finn meets Jack Kerouac.” Rick Allen \n“Along with working with the Flying Burrito Brothers\, driving a truck for Neil Young and playing drums for decades\, Lee has carved a unique niche for himself in the alt-country\, acoustic post-modern honky tonk world. Fans of Steve Forbert\, Townes Van Zandt\, Gram Parsons\, Guy Clark\, Phil Cody and Greg Brown will dig Lee’s strong fourth album.” Jeff Schwachter / Atlantic City Weekly \n“….pure Phil Lee…Witty\, wicked\, compassionate\, profane\, misanthropic…Phil Lee and his friends wear their supreme musicianship lightly and this album is a street ahead of most things you’ll hear this year; it has a joie-de-vivre that no amount of jokily bitter lines can disguise.”  John Davy / Flyinshoes Review \n

SUMMARY:JIM & VIVIAN CRAIG w/ FRED CAMPEAU & MITCH THOMAS
DESCRIPTION:Mitch Thomas and Fred Campeau and Jim and Vivian Craig have put together an ukeclectic show that promises to bring a smile\, and maybe a tear or two. \nIn addition to their tight vocal blending\, the foursome stretch out with some instrumental surprises: Viv and Mitch on ukuleles\, Fred on guitar\, banjo\, and Hawaiian resonator guitar\, and Jim on concertina\, guitar\, and bass ukulele (yes\, you read that right). There’ll be old songs\, blue songs\, and some new songs\, written by Jim and Viv. \nFred Campeau and Mitch Thomas have been a team since the early 70’s\, when they met while both were performing around Chicago. Fred plays guitar\, banjo\, fiddle and harmonica\, and was a long-time member of the Volo Bogtrotters. In addition to playing guitar\, banjo and ukulele\, Mitch teaches choir\, theater and uke\, and is a two-time winner of the Wheatland Festival Folksinging Contest. \nJim and Vivian Craig have been harmonizing for almost forty years. When not loosely affiliated with Mitch and Fred\, Jim and Viv perform with Chicago-based Na Mele Aloha\, an Hawaiian music ensemble. \nAny of you who used to frequent the Green Dragon would have fond memories of them all.

SUMMARY:JEFFREY FOUCAULT/ Corey Hart SOLD OUT*
DESCRIPTION:Can call at last minute to see if any changes have occurred since this posting Friday afternoon.  Occasionally someone calls to let us know they cannot use their tickets. \n  \nJEFFREY FOUCAULT\, brilliant dolorous weather-beaten miner\, will be appearing near his hometown with sidekick  drummer Billy Conway (Morphine).  Corey Hart will open. \n \nJeffrey Foucault grew up in a small town in Wisconsin. His father played a plywood guitar and his mother liked to sing. Winter Sundays were for church or ice fishing. He went to college and dropped out\, took a job on a fruit farm and started writing songs about a girl from Iowa. He finished school\, roofed houses\, drove a snowplow\, and home-schooled the son of the local bar owner in exchange for beer. He cut his first album in the winter of 2000. \nTHE NEW YORKER:\n“Jeffrey Foucault\, sings stark\, literate songs that are as wide open as the landscape of his native Midwest.” \nMOJO:\n“Songwriting brilliance.” \nTHE IRISH TIMES:\n“Quietly brilliant…” \nUNCUT:\n“The music of Wisconsin native Foucault is the kind so many aspire to but never attain: beat-up troubadour folk whittled to dolorous perfection…” \nLongtime disciple of the rich and strange music that sings behind the American veil\, 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 for a tersely elegant brand of songwriting set apart by its haunting imagery and weather-beaten cool. He lives in Western Massachusetts. \n

SUMMARY:CORKY SIEGEL & HOWARD LEVY- SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:CORKY SIEGEL and  HOWARD LEVY?  Yes it is\, it’s true.  Two amazingly talented harmonica and piano players with very impressive bios and maybe biceps share the stage. \nCheck this out.  Corky and his Chamber Blues \nMultiple Grammy- Award Winner HOWARD LEVY  is an acknowledged master of the diatonic harmonica\, a superb pianist\, innovative composer\, recording artist\, bandleader\, teacher\, producer\, and Chicago area resident. His musical travels have taken him all over the geographical world and the musical map. Equally at home in Jazz\, Classical music\, Rock\, Folk\, Latin\, and World Music\, he brings a fresh lyrical approach to whatever he plays. This has made him a favorite with audiences worldwide\, and a recording artist sought after by the likes of Kenny Loggins\, Dolly Parton\, Paquito D’Rivera\, Styx\, Donald Fagen\, and Paul Simon. As a sideman\, Howard has appeared on hundreds of CDs and played on many movie soundtracks. \nHe is perhaps best known for the four CD’s he recorded with Bela Fleck and The Flecktones\, a unique band that set the musical world on its ear back in the early 1990’s. He got back together with the band in 2010 and recorded the CD Rocket Science. They toured extensively in 2011-2012\, and Howard won a Grammy for Best Instrumental Composition for “Life in Eleven”\, which he wrote with Bela Fleck. \nHoward’s other prominent collaborations include three CDs with Trio Globo (Glen Velez and Eugene Friesen)\, two with Lebanese Oud player/composer Rabih Abou Khalil\, and one with the avant- garde Jazz Riessler/Levy/Matinier Trio. \nHoward is music director and chief composer for the Latin/Jazz group  Chévere de Chicago. He produced and released the band’s CD Secret Dream\, and Time Capsules with his acoustic swing group Acoustic Express\, on his own label\, Balkan Samba Records.  His solo Jazz CD\, Alone and Together on Balkan Samba\, and his Jazz trio CD Tonight and Tomorrow on the Chicago Sessions label\, both received 4-star reviews in DownBeat. \nIn 2011 Howard also released a classical CD featuring his “Concerto for Diatonic Harmonica and Orchestra\,” the first concerto ever composed for the diatonic harmonica. He has performed the piece more than 20 times in the US and Europe. He also has an online harmonica school\, www.howardharmonica.com. \nCORKY SIEGEL  has earned an international reputation as one of the world’s great blues harmonica masters. He is a composer\, blues pianist\, singer / songwriter\, and recent winner of the Lila Wallace/Reader’s Digest/Meet the Composer’s national award for chamber music composition and the Illinois Arts Council Fellowship Award for Music Composition. \nCorky Siegel’s career began with a fortunate break when he formed the legendary Siegel-Schwall Band that toured the major rock palaces and clubs in the 60’s and 70’s. He was introduced to the blues through his very first steady engagement at Peppers the internationally renowned blues club where his job included performances with the blues masters themselves\, such as Willie Dixon\, Little Walter\, Muddy Waters\, and Howlin’ Wolf. “For groups like the Rolling Stones … names like Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf were exotic inspirations. For Siegel-Schwall they were the guys that played with them on 43rd Street.” – Lin Brehmer – Music Director for WXRT radio. \nCorky Siegel has written and performed works for Arthur Fiedler and the San Francisco Symphony\, the Grant Park Symphony\, the National Symphony Orchestra – for a Kennedy Center performance where the Washington Post proclaimed that “Siegel is a Phenomenon”. His latest symphonic work Blues for a Green Planet – Opus 10 was commissioned and performed with the Grant Park Symphony in Chicago. This was his second commission from that orchestra. He also composed “Continuum” with Alwin Nikolias (father of modern dance) and Murray Louis. His music has been choreographed by 5 different international ballet companies and has been used for many national TV specials and motion pictures as well as the 1988 Olympic men’s figure skating competition\, the 1997 World Championship skating competition with Olympic Gold Medalists\, Torvill and Dean\, and a recent ABC-TV series including two works for three PBS programs – one of which won an Emmy Award for 2002. \nMr. Siegel’s partnership in the renowned Siegel-Schwall Band\, his performances as soloist with orchestras world-wide\, and his collaborations with conductor Seiji Ozawa in bringing a ground-breaking blues-classical sound to national attention are all a reflection of Mr. Siegel’s prodigious talent. Mr. Siegel continues to perform as guest soloist with symphony orchestras world-wide\, which have included the New York Philharmonic\, Orchestre de la Suisse Romande\, the Boston Symphony Orchestra\, Orquestra Metropolitana De Lisboa in Portugal\, and most recently the Orchestre Symphonique de Montreal\, the NHK Symphony in Japan\, and the Philadelphia Orchestra with Maestro Charles Dutoit. In addition to ongoing tours with Maestro Dutoit\, Corky has continued to perform numerous symphonic collaborations through the years with Doc Severinsen. Corky has also recorded on Sony International by touring globally from time to time through the invitation of Dr. Subramaniam\, India’s greatest Eastern classical violin virtuoso. \nCorky Siegel’s newest project Chamber Blues\, with the West End String Quartet\, and Frank Donaldson on world percussion\, blends classical and blues styles in a chamber music setting. This ground breaking innovative sound (now on Alligator Records and Gadfly Records) has earned tremendous acclaim throughout the country and continues to open new doors for classical and blues/jazz listeners alike. Chamber Blues won Billboard’s Editor’s and Writer’s top 10 Picks of the Year (1998) and Stereophile Magazine says; “… fantastic … I’ve never heard anyone play harp with this much body and harmonic delicacy … I guarantee you’ve never heard anything quite like it.” The 2005 Alligator Records release of “Traveling Chamber Blues Show” is “A Crowning Achievement” – raves the Chicago Tribune.“Watching them perform is nearly as much fun as hearing them play.” – Blues Revue Magazine.
