SUMMARY:MARK FURST
DESCRIPTION:Mark is a native of Ireland who has lived in many varied places from London to the back woods of Tennessee but settled in 2001 with his lovely wife Janice here in Fort Atkinson. Being the son of a classical violinist/orchestra conductor\, hearing and appreciating music was always part of life\, however attempts at actually playing music while a youngster were not so successful. Practicing is WORK\, so making music was put on the back burner but the urge to make music has lasted through the years. In his early teens\, listening to radio Caroline (a pirate radio station broadcasting from international waters in the North Sea) exposed Mark to the wonders of early Pink Floyd\, Yes\, Genesis\, King Crimson and other progressive rock bands which have formed the basis of his musical tastes. Since then many other genres have opened up\, including Punk\, Blues\, Funk\, Bluegrass\, Electronica/Ambient and so many World Music influences it would be hard to list. \nYears on now the urge to make music still is there but not in a formal “learn this tune” approach so much as a “try this and see what happens” style. Along these lines Mark performed at the Carpe back in 2015 in the band FOMA with local friends Robert Preston and Carl Armstrong  which had a certain “free-form” approach to it. \nThis upcoming solo performance will incorporate guitar and synthesizer melodies using heavy effects and looping. The nature of using effects and electronics means that there is an element of improvisation which opens up avenues for textural and rhythmic exploration. The Space Between Stars theme is a nod to Mark’s ongoing love of science\, particularly astronomy and the amazing age that we live in. \nPlease call 920-563-9391 to reserve.

SUMMARY:JOHN ELLIOTT
DESCRIPTION:JOHN ELLIOTT  writes gripping stream-of-consciousness songs that often take unexpected turns en route to delivering a powerful message. Chuck Schiele of The San Diego Troubadour wrote about Elliott’s lyrics: “They get in\, make their statement\, kick you in the teeth\, and get out before they start talking too much…And this lends to the urge of rolling any track to its beginning for another spin.” \nA native of Minnesota who now resides in California\, Elliott began playing at various Hollywood venues in 2001\, had expanded throughout southern California by 2003\, and later became a nationally touring artist. He has performed in several countries and every state except Hawaii. His music has been featured on hit TV shows including Grey’s Anatomy and Californication\, as well as in PASTE Magazine\, on NPR and Neil Young’s “Living With War” website. \nIn the last decade\, he has released eight genre-less studio albums on his own record label (Garland Lane) to an ever-expanding audience. All can be streamed at his website (www.thehereafterishere.com/ recordings). The newest releases are an unedited live performance (“Live in Austin”) and a compilation (“The Greatest Recordings According to Me: 2003-2013”). Both are available for purchase at shows on USB drives. John is trying to ever-so-gently do his part to end the compact disc. \nJohn also produces an almost monthly podcast of sorts called “Audiodes.” Audiodes defy explanation and must be heard to be understood (seven are included on the USB compilation). They include interviews\, meditations\, sound collages\, alternative versions of already released songs\, covers\, and more. Audiode Six is a stripped down\, acoustic rendering of his “Good Goodbyes” album; Audiode Fourteen is a new concept album about technology called “21st Century Bicycle.” \nPlease call 920-563-9391 to reserve.

SUMMARY:KAIA FOWLER/ MARK DVORAK
DESCRIPTION:KAIA FOWLER’s music is a cross-blend of folk\, blues\, roots and rock. With her warm\, angelic voice and accomplished guitar work\, Kaia shares songs that explore life’s longings\, struggles and celebrations. Inspired by nature and the human condition\, Kaia’s songs resonate with strength and vulnerability as she explores a vast emotional and spiritual landscape. \n“Sharing songs helps me connect with others\,” says Kaia. “When I sing about my loves and losses\, concerns and inspirations\, fears and hopes\, I know we all share these experiences\, each in our own way. There\, in that moment\, because of the magic of music and words\, we understand one another better. We sense that we’re all in this together. I love that aspect of what I do most of all.” \n“Each song is very well written\, with a true authenticity of life. You can picture yourself or someone you know in each story line.” … “Fowler is a tremendous lyricist. Her lyrics paint pictures and her musical notes add the color…” Americana Gazette \nMARK DVORAK is a modern day troubadour who has never stopped performing\, writing and recording. He has been called “a folk singer’s folk singer” with “an encyclopedic knowledge of traditional songs.” His original songs are described as “wondrous” and “profound.” Though Mark often appears in theaters and on festival stages\, he is also at home in a more intimate setting. His concerts are a mix of the familiar and the new\, traditional folk and standards from the American songbook. He plays authentic country blues guitar and picks great old-time banjo. \nMark enjoys involving his audiences in sing-along songs\, just like The Weavers used to do\, and mixes in his own well-crafted and infectious originals. Mark has a refreshing\, down-to-earth stage presence\, and is a very engaging performer. He sings with a clear\, signature voice\, and he likes to joke around with the folks who attend his shows. Throughout the program he’ll interject personal anecdotes and add a touch of history or social context to the performance. \n“Masterful” Chicago Tribune \n“The real deal. His show is funny\, passionate\, intimate & unforgettable” Old Town School of Folk Music \n“One of a vanishing breed. Although all of us benefit from the tradition\, Dvorak is one of the few who keep it alive” Utah Phillips \nPlease call 920-563-9391 to reserve.

SUMMARY:BEN FRANKLIN & BARON von STEUBEN vs. the PAINE COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD
DESCRIPTION:Individuals of all political persuasions invoke the “Founding Fathers” to justify their positions – but have you ever wondered what the Founding Fathers themselves would think? \nThat’s the question at the heart of Ben Franklin & Baron von Steuben vs. the Paine County School Board\, the latest play from TAPIT/new works Ensemble Theater. The play is in two acts with a ten-minute intermission. \nThe play is inspired by a little-known historical fact – Baron von Steuben\, the Revolutionary War hero credited with transforming the Continental Army into a force capable of beating the British\, was a gay man. When a history teacher in the fictitious Paine County School District teaches this\, and conservative school board members get wind of it\, the stage is set for dramatic confrontation. \nAll this proves a bit much for Franklin and von Steuben\, who’ve been observing the action from the Great Beyond. They decide to risk intervening in contemporary affairs to set the record straight\, successfully transforming controversy into comedy and demonstrating that even if history doesn’t repeat itself\, it will still try almost anything to get your attention. \nWritten by Danielle Dresden\, Ben Franklin & Baron von Steuben vs. the Paine County School Board is directed by Stephen F. Murray and performed by Francisco Torres\, Krystal Lonsdale\, Liz Light\, Issac Brieske\, Donna Peckett\, and Dresden. \nPlease call 920-563-9391 to reserve.
