SUMMARY:THRIFTONES
DESCRIPTION:THRIFTONES \nThey hang TV’s in trees\, they rehearse in a frozen attic\, their tour vehicle is Townes Van Country\, and they play familiar sounding music that you’ve never heard. They are Thriftones. With a sound driven as much by the groovy and often dark tones as it is by the lyrical content\, the new self titled album captures the band at an exciting time. After forming in late 2011\, the band played nearly every weekend to earn enough money to produce their debut record. \nThe band\, based in Milwaukee\, has been winning fans over with eclectic set lists and high energy performances that come to life on the stage. The four piece group draws it’s inspiration from an endless pool of musical genres. You might feel a funky 70’s jam end and a weird sonic freak-out begin. A spastic and aggressive rocker lead into a crooning waltz. They have played the outdoor festival stage\, the cozy coffeehouse\, the gallery night art opening and a lot of those clubs you find yourself in after midnight. \nPRESS:\n“Folk rock fused with a retro rockabilly vibe\, at home in a shadowy L.A. lounge\, hipster hangout\, or possibly a David Lynch or Quentin Tarantino flick.” -Piet Levy (Journal Sentinel) \n“The Thriftones tumble through mysterious carnival music-box time signatures\, chiming\, then break into swoons well-timed\, with pace and delivery of a hilarious stand-up comedian prodding a crowd to laughter on command. Rattling\, twanging guitar riffs serrate blues piano melodies\, reckoning humble\, hard times\, down-tempo bluegrass rock by-gone\, but not forgotten.” -LocalTrolley.com \n“Fronted by singer Matthew Davies\, The Thriftones can best be described as folk with a generous helping of Americana roots. Davies has a real talent in crafting songs about darker ideas and images within our country\, while his band backs these concepts up with a shadowy rockabilly beat.” -A.V. Club Milwaukee\nThriftones are: \nBennett\, Eston (bass guitar) \nDavies\, Matthew (vocals & guitar) \nJones\, Thomas (percussion\, etc) \nKoenig\, Andrew (guitar & vocals)

SUMMARY:SAM LLANAS solo
DESCRIPTION:SAM LLANAS (formerly of the BoDeans) is an iconic American singer\, acoustic guitarist\, and songwriter best known for his unique and distinctively soulful voice. It was Llanas’ voice that supplied the trademark vocal on Robbie Robertson’s “Somewhere Down the Crazy River.” \nIn 1997 Llanas founded the band Absinthe. As Absinthe Sam released one album\, 1998’s critically acclaimed A Good Day To Die. In 2011 Sam Llanas left the BoDeans and released 4 A.M. (The Way Home) on Inner Knot Records. In 2013 he released the live retrospective 4/5 Live – Vol I. \nIn 2012 the music from 1998‘s A Good Day To Die was incorporated into a collaboration with playwright Doug Vincent and producer Gary Tanin in the production “A Day for Grace.” By 2013 the play had evolved to include multi-city tours and multi-week runs in New York City. \nIn November 2014 Llanas released The Whole Night Thru\,  an all new studio record produced by longtime collaborator Gary Tanin. It features 9 new Llanas originals. The Whole Night Thru is Llanas’ first studio outing after parting ways with the band he co-fronted for over a quarter century. Shedding new light on a multi-decade career Sam returns to his roots adding a refined rock sound complimented by a full band\, all veterans of both studio and live performance. Behind his lone-wolf image and tuffness\, Llanas continues to hone his skills. A master craftsman that feels most at home in the city he’s always called home\, Llanas has set the stage for fans to embrace his new identity.

SUMMARY:THE WRONG OMAR
DESCRIPTION:THE WRONG OMAR aka Joey Sheehan sings his “sidewalk confessionals of bad choices” with a tongue-in-cheek curmudgeon persona for old souls of all ages. His solo acoustic show follows a string of radio and TV performances throughout the Southeast and Mid-West. Soulful work on the piano leads to a set of guitar/harp and foot tambo songs that can be best described as: “crying tears of joy while making love”. You might also laugh yourself silly with some of his stories. \nBe warned: you may walk away with these tunes stuck in your head\, and you will be encouraged to sing along at times too. \nThe Wrong Omar presents a night of roots/folk/rock with blues harp\, stories and rock & roll aphorisms. \n“There are all kinds of unique indie artists out there making their mark on the musical landscape\, but few bring such uniqueness in terms of both vocals and songwriting like The Wrong Omar… …the disc hums along with a pleasant\, accessible artistry – things kick off with the sunny\, energetic sensibilities of More than Miles\, then glide effortlessly into Spit It Out. The cleverly-penned Zemblanity follows – again tapping into a handful of genres that gel together refreshingly well…”  Mark Weber\, Red Deer Express \n“…My uncle Joey\, musically known as\, The Wrong Omar\, is a one man band of sorts who plays guitar\, harmonica\, tambourine on one foot\, bass drum on the other and sings simultaneously. Tell me this probably isn’t the coolest person you will ever meet Joe’s not only a fantastic musician but an incredible performer and has a witty story that accompanies almost every song. I have listened to some of these stories what seems like a thousand times and every time\, without fail\, I am totally and completely engrossed\, even eager to hear punchlines I’ve heard before. When I was younger\, we would pop in his c.d. on long road trips and every time I am lucky enough to hear him play\, especially hearing his classics a.k.a Ms Ellie or Monopoly\, I can close my eyes and imagine\, staring out the window sleepy eyed in the back seat of the minivan as we made our way back from Quetico into a sea of black studded with twinkling city lights…” Erin Moser\, Mountains and Microbes

SUMMARY:ERNIE HENDRICKSON
DESCRIPTION:ERNIE HENDRICKSON \n“In today’s overly produced pop music market\, Ernie Hendrickson is a diamond in the rough; born of heart\, soul and grit.”\n– A. Owens www.4twk – international music \n“This inspiring artist defies categories by blending folk and country with rock and jazz”\n-Kim Wheeler\, Rockford Register Star  \n“Surely a cutting-edge singer/songwriter of tomorrow\, Ernie Hendrickson lives enough in the past to keep what Bob Dylan\, James Taylor and Kris Kristofferson have done alive and thriving for generations.”\n-Jim Hagerty\, Rock River Times  \n“His music easily justifies the mention of his name in the same context as\, dare-it-be-said\, genre power house Ryan Adams.”\nFady Khalil – Jambands.com \n“Dark and pretty songs. Ernie Hendrickson is finding a niche in the indie folk Americana segment. He is a storyteller like Harry Nilsson in a country mood.”\n– Hans Werksman\, Here Comes The Flood \n“Whether exploring tribal beats or graceful homegrown country hymnals\, E. Hendrickson stretches the song-writing pallet. He is drawing influences from Gram Parsons’ Burrito Brothers\, straight through the heart of the America’s Blues tradition.”\n– Martin Halo\, JamBase \nFor Ernie Hendrickson\, the hill country is as much a state of mind as a physical locale\, as the deep but beautifully casual songs on his new One for the Dreamers eloquently remind us. In the hill country of Ernie’s imagination\, the high ground provides an elevated vantage point that enables his listeners to perceive how time can leave important matters unfinished\, or tie up loose ends with sometimes heartbreaking finality. Yet the hill country is\, of course\, a real place\, and where Ernie comes from. The Wisconsin native grew up in what’s called that state’s Driftless Area\, where Midwestern flatness gives way to a more rounded landscape\, so it’s natural that that he chose to record One for the Dreamers nestled among the neatly arranged hills of Middle Tennessee. \nRecorded at Lamplight Studios in rural Primm Springs\, Tenn.\, 2013’s One for the Dreamers was anchored by producer-drummer Chad Cromwell (Neil Young\, Mark Knoplfer)\, songwriter-producer-bassist Kevin “Swine” Grantt (Brad Paisley\, Jamey Johnson\, Willie Nelson)\, and Pete Wasner (Vince Gill) on piano\, organ\, and wurlitzer. Special guests include legendary harmonica player Mickey Raphael (Willie Nelson\, Guy Clark)\, pianist Reese Wynans (Stevie Ray Vaughan\, Buddy Guy)\, and rising Americana singer-songwriter Lera Lynn on harmony vocals.\nThere’s a concordance of topography and emotion at work in the new record that comes out of Ernie’s life as a traveling musician and an intuitive record maker—Midwestern openness meets Nashville experience\, you could say. Like the great American singers and songwriters who have inspired him—performers such as Neil Young\, Jerry Garcia and Willie Nelson—Ernie seeks the light amidst the ever-present perils of darkness.\nBorn and raised in the Midwest\, Ernie Hendrickson grew up on a steady diet of Willie Nelson\, Bob Dylan\, Neil Young\, Cat Stevens\, and Jerry Garcia. These early heroes opened the gates to the deep well of American roots music which he continues to draw inspiration from. In 2007 he self-produced and released a highly acclaimed solo record\, Down the Road\, of which the Illinois Entertainer deemed “Groundbreaking” and pushed him straight onto the Midwest’s radar as an emerging singer-songwriter. Hendrickson set the talent bar high in the studio for this album with a cast of players that included the subtle and angelic backing vocals of his sister\, Kelly Hendrickson\, and the legendary harmonica player\, Howard Levy (Bela Fleck & The Flecktones\, Paul Simon)\, aligned with an all-star group of Chicago musicians.\nHendrickson’s second record\, Walking with Angels\, began with a chance meeting between Ernie and veteran producer Bo Ramsey (Greg Brown\, Lucinda Williams) in the spring of ’08 in Iowa City\, where Ernie was opening a show for an old friend of Bo’s\, Kevin Gordon. Even in early conversation\, the two agreed that there was a chemistry evolving that would only deepen once the sessions began. At Bo’s urging\, Ernie sang and played nearly all of the songs on the record with a live band which consisted of Bo\, Jon Penner on bass (Junior Brown\, Bo Ramsey)\, and Steve Hayes on drums (Greg Brown\, Bo Ramsey). This call was made by Bo to try and capture the energy of a great performance and the result could not have been better. All twelve songs on the record feel as though these four guys had been playing together for years. After adding legendary Chicago pedal steel player Brian Wilkie (Alison Krauss\, Pam Tillis) on several tracks\, Bob Black’s banjo (Bill Monroe)\, and taking a trip to Nashville to record keyboardist Kevin McKendree (Delbert McClinton)\, the record shines as a true testament to Hendrickson’s ripening powers as a songwriter. Radio promotion has taken the sophomore album’s success to a higher level on both AAA and Americana stations\, having spent over 25 weeks in the Top 20 on Roots Music Report’s Folk charts and in regular rotation at nearly 100 different stations across the country including Nashville’s award-winning WSM-AM The Legend.

SUMMARY:LEE MURDOCK
DESCRIPTION:LEE MURDOCK  has uncovered a boundless body of music and stories in the Great Lakes. Taking snapshots from history\, his songs summon the listener to take a front-row seat\, to look through the eyes and into the hearts of individuals who have shaped our heritage on and around the Great Lakes. His concerts invoke a sense of place\, but it is a universal place\, and a timeless repertoire that celebrates the North American people\, their triumphs and tragedies\, work songs and pastimes. \nNoted as a fluent instrumentalist on six and twelve string guitars\, Murdock combines ragtime\, Irish\, blues and folk styles with this flair for storytelling in songs. His musical influences span fifteen generations\, and combine original compositions with traditional music. \nThere is an amazing timelessness in this music. Great Lakes songs are made of hard word\, hard living\, ships that go down and ships that come in. \nThe music is grounded in the work song tradition\, from the rugged days of lumberjacks and wooden sailing schooners. Murdock comes alongside with ballads of contemporary commerce and revelry in the grand folk style. Lee’s fans have discovered a sweetwater treasure in his songs about the Great Lakes\, finding drama and inspiration in the lives of sailors and fishermen\, lighthouse keepers\, ghosts\, shipwrecks\, outlaws and everyday heroes.
