SUMMARY:JACK WILLIAMS
DESCRIPTION:It’s been a long time since JACK WILLIAMS played here\, but as indicated below\, it will be a pleasure to have him share his talents again. \nMusic legends Peter Yarrow (Peter\, Paul\, & Mary) and Tom Paxton lauded Williams as ‘the best guitar player I’ve ever heard’ and ‘one of my (Paxton) all-time favorite pickers.’ It is no cliché’ to say that his music defies genre labeling\, as his style has evolved from a lifetime of musical involvement ranging from beatnik trumpeter and folk revivalist banjo player to country\, rock and R & B electric and steel-guitar player and chamber music composer. \nWilliams spends the majority of his time touring the US\, playing major music festivals and venues\, which have included The Newport Folk Festival and Chicago’s Folkstage\, hosted by Rich Warren of NPR’s nationally syndicated show\, ‘The Midnight Special.’ \nOf him\, Warren says\, “his artistry… is nothing short of amazing. Dazzling picking\, expressive voice\, unique and interesting songs. He is a showman in the best sense of the word and just wowed our audience. I think they would have followed him anywhere.” From a recent performance at a popular Birmingham concert venue\, Moonlight on the Mountain\, proprietor Keith Harrelson said\, “Jack is a fearless singer\, inventive storyteller\, forceful-yet-delicate guitarist\, and holds near-legendary status as a modern-times troubadour…. precisely what kept him relevant to at least three generations of loyal fans.” \nThough sometimes thought of as a ‘singer-songwriter’\, audiences should not expect a night of quiet introspective ballads. Williams is known for his entertaining and high energy performances. He often concludes his shows with a unique finale\, a medley of songs and stories that span the varied styles and voices of his musical past\, keeping audiences enthralled from start to finish. \n“An adept acoustic guitarist and extremely capable in the vocal and songwriting departments…. Difficult to categorize\, Williams blends folk\, country\, jazz\, and blues in a somewhat gentler Ry Cooder manner…. It would be hard to value one album over the other; both are of high caliber… Possessing a clear tenor\,Williams showcases his fluid fingerpicking style on both discs… both albums are treats for the listener.  Jack Williams comprehends the potency of understatement and inhabits a world that may be less realistic but certainly kinder.” Pieter Hofmann\, DIRTY LINEN \n“…an American Treasure” – Mickey Newbury \n“…one of the strongest guitar players in contemporary folk.”  – Sing Out! \nIf there is anyone not familiar with Jack’s incredible songwriting and prodigious performance skills\, my sympathies to you. A Jack Williams show is a slam-dunk win-win-win for all. One of the most enlightened and entertaining performers I’ve ever encountered. – Dave Humpreys\, Two Way Street Coffeehouse in Downers Grove IL \n“…like a South Carolina version of an acoustic Bruce Springsteen with Jerry Garcia on acoustic lead guitar.”\nMike Agranoff – Folk Project and Minstrel Coffeehouse\, Morristown NJ \n“Jack Williams is one of the most eclectic singer songwriters going. You can hear both the white and black musical traditions in his writing. You can hear country\, you can hear blues\, you can hear jazz. He’s a poet who knows how to write simply. And he’s a remarkable\, magical performer\, with graceful good humor\, and a hot guitar style.”\n– Phil Shapiro\, host\, WVBR’s “Bound for Glory” \n*****Please call to reserve.

SUMMARY:BILL STAINES
DESCRIPTION:Anyone not familiar with the music of Bill Staines is in for a special treat. \nSinging mostly his own songs\, he has become one of the most popular and durable singers on the folk music scene today\, performing nearly 200 concerts a year and driving over 65\,000 miles annually. He weaves a blend of gentle wit and humor into his performances and one reviewer wrote\, “He has a sense of timing to match the best standup comic.” \nBill’s music is a slice of Americana\, reflecting with the same ease his feelings about the prairie people of the Midwest or the adventurers of the Yukon\, the on-the-road truckers\, or the everyday workers that make up this land. \nMany of Bill’s songs have appeared in grade school music books\, church hymnals\, and scouting campfire songbooks; he is one of only a few songwriters to have eight songs published in the classic song collection\, Rise up Singing. Composer David Amram recently described Bill as “a modern day Stephen Foster…his songs will be around 100 years from now.” \nOver the decades\, you have heard Bill singing on Garrison Keillor’s A Prairie Home Companion\, HBO’s award winning series Deadwood\, and Public Radio’s Mountain Stage. Additionally\, his music has been used in a number of films including Off and Running\, with Cyndi Lauper\, and The Return of the Secaucus Seven\, John Sayles’ debut as a writer- director. \nIn 1975\, Bill won National Yodeling Championship in Kerrville Texas. Another important recognition was given to him in 2007. Presented by the Boston Area Coffeehouse Association\, The Jerry Christen Award recognized Bill’s contribution to New England folk music. \nCurrently\, Bill has recorded 26 albums; The Happy Wanderer and One More River were winners of the prestigious Parents’ Choice Award\, taking a gold medal and silver medal respectively. His songs have been recorded by many artists including Peter\, Paul\, and Mary\, Tommy Makem and Liam Clancy\, The Highwaymen\, Mason Williams\, Grandpa Jones\, Jerry Jeff Walker\, Nanci Griffith\, Glen Yarborough and others. \n“Folk music is rich in the human spirit and experience. I’ve always wanted to bring something of value to people through my songs.” With these thoughts\, Bill continues to drive the highways and back roads of the country year after year\, bringing his music to listeners\, young and old. \n“Bill Staines has been my hero since 1977. He carries on where Woody left off-carrying on the tradition of stories and characters you wish you knew.” – Nanci Griffith\n“Staines is one of the best songwriters in folk music today\, penning lyrics that evoke a sense of place and a generous spirit to go along with his pretty melodies. – Associated Press\n“Staines is one of folk music’s best songwriters and entertainers.” – Milwaukee Journal\n“There is no better writer of instantly memorable singalong choruses in this genre of music!” – The Boston Globe\n“His gentle lilting voice\, spacious melodies and common-chord lyrics give his songs a homespun grace that often belies his mastery of the folk form. He is such a pure pleasure too\, people forget to notice how damn good at the job of singer-songwritering he really is.” – New England Folk Almanac\n“Folk singer Bill Staines’ compositions recall the paintings of Grandma Moses – simple\, literal and evocative of a bucolic tranquility that modern times have almost erased.” – Hartford Courant \nPLEASE CALL TO RESERVE.

SUMMARY:HOWARD LEVY & CORKY SIEGEL- SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION: Leave a note at the Discussion section at this link expressing your interest in tickets should any become available. \nCORKY SIEGEL and HOWARD LEVY:  A Harmonica Convergence of Two Giants of Jazz and Blues \nThe contrasting musical conversations between these two giants of jazz and blues\, both who are stellar performers on harmonica and piano\, has proven to be a riveting edge-of-your-seat experience. Individuality\, uniqueness\, playfulness and adventure\, are all trademarks of both the stylings of Siegel and Levy. They draw the audience in with an intimacy to their performance in a way that only old friends of several decades – with a special connection\, can. They constantly conjole with a grand sense of humor while dazzling you with sheer jaw-dropping skill and virtuosity.  \nCorky Siegel is\, of course\, the award-winning composer who\, at a very young age\, learned his craft at the feet of such legendary first generation bluesmen as Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf and as a part of Siegel-Schwall Band. With his Chamber Blues ensemble\, he is credited with moving the blues from smokey clubs onto the classical concert stage and obliterating musical categorization in the process. \nHoward Levy is probably best known as a founding member of the GRAMMY winning group Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. He has recorded with a long list of greats such as Paul Simon and Dolly Parton\, as well as frequent guest appearances performing on Garrison Keillor’s A Prairie Home Companion’s weekly National Public Radio show. \nAny audience member who attended their last rare foray together can tell you this evening is definitely one not to be missed.

SUMMARY:A ROSE AMONG THORNS
DESCRIPTION:Fort Atkinson’s own Perry Baird\, Tom Cook (TC) and Jeff Mason will be joined again by Fort violinist Erica Flyte on a number of songs. Perry and Tom are officially retired from their former day jobs\, and Jeff is about half-way there. They are all getting a little long in the tooth and slow off the couch\, but their fingers are almost as nimble as ever. The boys will wind their way through traditional folk and fiddle tunes (this time with Erica actually providing fiddle) and whatever else they can remember. Perry and Jeff play guitar(s) and Perry does most of the singing. TC seems to be bringing a collection of (mostly) four and eight-stringed wooden instruments and will be making his second sojourn onto the Carpe stage\, with some tasty instrumentals promised. Quite honestly\, the whole thing is a work-in-progress and the old geezers are just as anxious as anyone else to hear what happens\, particularly with the addition of Erica’s sweet violin to the mix. \nThey’ll wind their way through a mix of contemporary and traditional folk\, pop\, and blues tunes\, plus a few novelties of highly suspect origin. \nPlease call to reserve at 920-563-9391.

SUMMARY:SIMON BALTO/ WHITNEY MANN
DESCRIPTION:Most people mention the voice first. It comes from deep within. Sounds like it means what it says. Then come the lyrics and the stories — ones about workers and lovers\, mothers and sons\, the dying and mourning\, the prideful and the abused. Ones about the Midwest and the beauty and difficulty that characterizes life around here. There is a humanity in the songs that recalls the work of some of the folk tradition’s finest architects.\nThe songs linger. Exhale. Persist. \nSIMON BALTO‘s work has garnered praise from critics both local\, regional\, national\, and international. The Irish music publication Deadly Music! has compared his songwriting to top-of-his-game\, Blood on the Tracks­-era Dylan. The Chicago-based music curator Music Means Family said the following: “An unbelievable talent\, his layered folk ballads are reminiscent of Baez and Dylan\, Guthrie and Prine. There is a deeply satisfying componentto each of his songs – a reminder of home\, woodsmoke\, and the first traces of your breath as winter begins to settle.” \nHe has been featured on Wisconsin Public Television\, Wisconsin Public Radio\, Big Top Chautauqua’s Tent Show Radio\, Daytrotter\, and has supported and shared stages with a wide range of artists in recent years\, from Jason Isbell to Johnnyswim\, Field Report to Anderson East\, Peter Mulvey to Communist Daughter\, Charlie Parr to Horseshoes & Hand Grenades. \nIn 2016\, he will release Murmurations\, a full-band record that features Shane Leonard (Kalispell\, Field Report)\, Ben Lester (S. Carey\, The Tallest Man on Earth\, Aero Flynn)\, Steven Hobert\, Kevin Rowe (Buffalo Gospel)\, and Amanda Rigell (Count This Penny). \nJoining Simon for the evening will be Madison singer-songwriter WHITNEY MANN. “Whitney Mann is the best kept secret in Wisconsin. She’s raw\, she’s real. Whitney sings and writes from the heart\, you can’t ask for more than that in a musician.”\n– John T Selman\, Production Manager\, Willie Nelson and Family   Whitney Mann is an old soul with a child’s glow. Her story is only beginning. It’s the story of a poetic farm girl from Michigan who grew up to open for Loretta Lynn. It’s the story of a young woman whose voice will break your heart but whose songs will bring you back for more.
