She has recorded nineteen albums of mostly original songs\, exploring folk\, blues\, and jazz idioms featuring her acclaimed 12-string guitar and mountain dulcimer playing. \n“If it were the intention of the creator or creators of this universe to perfectly blend together the night sky with moon and stars\, it might have been their intention as well to deliver Claudia Schmidt as their messenger of reminder.  To say that Schmidt is simply a performer with a talent to entertain would be a miscarriage of understatement. Schmidt takes her audiences into her world as easily as the child who discovers the endless universes that exist in a cardboard box….. \nSchmidt weaves her way through her concert in much the same manner as a jester. Interwoven anecdotes\, revealing her past and present\, bring people to expect a relationship between themselves and memories driven deep with the passage of time. The concert is an endless display of self-realization through humor and longing\, leaving audience members yearning to become an integral part of her world.”  Door County Advocate \n  URL:https://cafecarpe.com/event/claudia-schmidt-2/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20150611T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20150611T210000 DTSTAMP:20260430T025441 CREATED:20150605T221024Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150605T221302Z UID:2528-1434049200-1434056400@cafecarpe.com SUMMARY:THE NEW PIONEERS DESCRIPTION:This five piece bluegrass ball of fire featuring vocals\, banjo\, fiddle\, guitar\, bass and mandolin appears here regularly on the 2nd Thursday of the month.

Check for space on Saturday\n \n\n Not for the low-fat crowd- this is the cream of the crop of Wisconsin musicians. Strength in Voice\, Instrumentation\, Lyrics\, Entertainment\, these guys are VILE. \nWhat’s not to like- except them\, a bunch of knobs? \nI meant nauts.   “They will go as far as outer space to bring you the truth. I shit you not\, my friends.” \nUse the link above to reserve your seats. Treat yourself to a spectacular evening of music. \nWILLY PORTER PETER MULVEY BILL CAMPLIN RANDY SABIEN \nPeter explains it thus: \n“People\, this is the heart of what I do. I love to get musicians together and to play music in its raw\, conversational form. To listen\, to jump in without knowing exactly what comes next\, to be surprised and enlivened. This is the holy grail for me: to play music as though it’s happening offstage\, for pure joy and discovery and communication between friends and strangers. And over the past decade or so\, first in the winter at my hometown Cafe Carpe\, and then over the past three years at my home-away-from-hometown ClubPassim\, I’ve found a way to tease this kind of offstage music into an onstage situation: The Lamplighter Sessions. It changes every year\, but then\, don’t we all? Trust me\, you should get to one of these shows if you can. Lightning will strike.” \nPETER MULVEY – “master guitar wizard\, erudite song writer and just all around great guy. The depth in any Mulvey song is incredible from the mastery of tune & rhythm\, to the lyrics\, even down to the concept of his albums”. Whitney Luckett \nWILLY PORTER\n“Porter plays intelligent\, groove — heavy folk with hearty abandon”\n— Santa Fe New Mexican \n“With his exquisite\, tranquil guitar work\, Willy Porter could easily astonish an audience without singing one note. His ability to engage the audience with his personality and intellect raises Porter from the level of guitar wonk into the realm of masterful performer.”\n— Earvolution \n“Willy Porter is a relaxed and fearless performer who’ll entertain you as well as move you.”\n— Acoustic Guitar Magazine\n“Porter accentuates well – rendered tales with spit – fire – percussive acoustic guitar strumming and fiery color – chord picking.”\n— Billboard \n“[Willy Porter] can captivate an audience as completely as can an entire rock band.”\n— Washington Times \nRANDY SABIEN is no stranger to our stage\, and no stranger than anyone else who has graced it. He regularly steps beyond the boundaries of what many think of as jazz\, forging headlong into the worlds of rock\, blues and funk. His career began with classical violin lessons\, he soon picked up fiddling and from there it was only natural he would find himself playing along with his favorite rock tunes. Then at age 19 he was reborn with the discovery that you could play jazz on the violin. The resulting sound is swinging\, rocking\, rhythmic and bluesy with a fiddle that often plays more like a saxophone than a violin. There are shades of Duke and Miles and you can certainly hear the echoes of the great jazz violinists from the swing era but above all\, Randy is a product of his time – someone who grew up playing the violin while immersed in the music of the 60s and 70s. \n“Jazz violinists usually draw from one of two traditions. The best of both can be found in the superb Randy Sabien… he combines classical technique and folk energy in a program that’s still strictly jazz. ” USA TODAY \nBILL CAMPLIN is no stranger to our stage or to Willy or Peter or Randy\, who has admitted in weaker moments to enjoying accompanying Bill. Bill is a fine lad with a fine voice\, but give him JimBeam instead of djembe. Oh yeah\, by the way- “the best singer no one has ever heard of”.

The depth in any Mulvey song is incredible from the mastery of tune & rhythm\, to the lyrics\, even down to the concept of his albums”. Whitney Luckett \nPAUL CEBAR Some idea of what Paul is about: “Milwaukee native Paul Cebar is a singing\, strumming\, and dancing museum of musical culture and a self-styled historian of myriad musical forms. Countless sounds pour forth when Cebar and his Milwaukeeans take the stage. New Orleans\, Chicago\, New york\, Africa\, Brazil\, Cuba\, jump-blues\, gospel\, jazz\, reggae\, calypso\, soul and vintage R&B are sterting points for something that becomes uniquely Cebar. This mishmash helps reimagine and liven up obscure classics\, and the band’s originals present new viewpoints on established styles.” The Onion AV Club \nWILLY PORTER\n“Porter plays intelligent\, groove — heavy folk with hearty abandon”\n— Santa Fe New Mexican \n“With his exquisite\, tranquil guitar work\, Willy Porter could easily astonish an audience without singing one note.

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.

Raised in small-town Vermont\, the daughter of a school teacher and a house painter\, she spent a decade in New York City as a performer and as the first employee of the successful Artists Den series. She released RECKLESS SKYLINE (January 2015) produced by acclaimed songwriter Jeffrey Foucault\, featuring an all-star band on twelve songs that veer nimbly between country ballads and straight-up rockers\, dark blues and sparsely arranged folk. \nBoth on the road and on her unreleased new album\, Caitlin Canty teams with some of the finest musicians in the world – including members of Morphine\, Booker T\, Cold Satellite\, and Ray LaMontagne’s Pariah Dogs – to create a sound that harnesses the grit and spark at the very heart of American music. \n“The Vermont native with a casually devastating voice and unshakable poise is bound to be the next great Americana star” – San Francisco Chronicle \n“Reckless Skyline manages to combine elements of folk\, blues\, country and rock without sounding unfocused” – AllMusic\n“Hear a stirring\, pedal steel-powered pep talk from a Vermont-born\, Nashville-bound songwriter” – NPR Music \n“A delight… Fine songwriting on an album of 12 really strong songs” – The Telegraph \n“This is going to be a big year for Caitlin Canty. The Vermont-raised singer-songwriter has an Appalachian grit that informs her record\, Reckless Skyline” – The Bluegrass Situation \n“With her vintage guitar and rootsy rock style\, Caitlin Canty makes a sound all her own on her dynamite new album Reckless Skyline” – Philadelphia Inquirer \n“Tapping into blues\, country\, mountain ballads\, and roots rock\, Canty’s songs have an elemental sound – reflecting the influence of such songwriters as Lucinda Williams\, Gillian Welch\, Johnny Cash and Tom Petty.”\n– Jeffrey Pepper Rodgers\, Acoustic Guitar \n“As good as it gets” – PopDose \nShe will be appearing here with guitarist/ pedal steel player ERIC HEYWOOD\, who has worked with artists such as Son Volt\, Richard Buckner\, the Jayhawks\, Ray LaMontagne\, Alejandro Escovedo\, Freakwater\, Calexico\, the Pretenders\, Kathleen Edwards and John Doe\, along with teen-pop singer Mandy Moore and Latino fusion band Yerba Buena. \nPLEASE CALL TO RESERVE.
