SUMMARY:KAREN WHEELOCK
DESCRIPTION:Karen Wheelock was raised in Delavan\, attended Beloit College and now resides in the Madison area. \nMadison’s New Artist of the Year Wheelock burst into the local folk and americana scene in 2013\, armed with a guitar and a ukulele. A Wisconsin farm girl from the small town of Delavan\, Wheelock’s gentle heart and forthright nature are surprisingly disarming to even the most jaded audience. \nRomantic at its core\, Wheelock’s music has a sound all its own\, but one could draw connections to A Fine Frenzy\, Lisa Loeb\, Cat Power with just a hint of the Moldy Peaches’ spirit. Hidden within her songwriting is a deep love for the Foo Fighters and other hard rock bands. Wheelock’s repertoire ranges from light-hearted ditties to deeply profound ballads; these are clearly the result of personal reflection\, the stuff of all good art. \nShe recently won Madison Area Music Association (MAMA) Awards for Folk/Americana Album of the Year (Imaginary Girl) and Non-Genre New Artist of the Year. She has a music contract with Dartboard Records\, and she released her debut EP\, “Imaginary Girl\,” in December 2014. You can hear her music at reverbnation.com/karenwheelock

SUMMARY:THE TANNAHILL WEAVERS- SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:  We will open at 5 p.m. tonight. \nTHE TANNAHILL WEAVERS are one of Scotland’s premier traditional bands. Their diverse repertoire spans the centuries with fire-driven instrumentals\, topical songs\, and original ballads and lullabies. Their music demonstrates to old and young alike the rich and varied musical heritage of the Celtic people. These versatile musicians have received worldwide accolades consistently over the years for their exuberant performances and outstanding recording efforts that seemingly can’t get better…yet continue to do just that. \nOver the years the Tannies have been trailblazers for Scottish music\, and their tight harmonies and powerful\, inventive arrangements have won them fans from beyond the folk and Celtic music scenes. In 2011 the band was inducted into the Scottish Traditional Music Hall of Fame\, and in 2014 they are joined by innovative piper Lorne MacDougall. Lorne comes with a high pedigree\, having arranged and performed pipes for the Disney Pixar movie “Brave”\, along with a long list of other accomplishments. With the release of the Tannahill’s 17th recording\, Live and In Session\, on award-winning label Compass Records\, they are firmly established as one of the premier groups on the concert stage. From reflective ballads to foot-stomping reels and jigs\, the variety and range of the material they perform is matched only by their enthusiasm and lively Celtic spirits. \nRead a full bio of the band here. \n“…no band of their ilk has performed with more energy or authority than the Tannies\, who blend guitar\, mandolin\, bouzouki\, fiddle\, whistles\, bodhran and pipes into a lilting product as fine and enduring as the textiles woven by namesake weavers of their Scottish hometown\, Paisley.” – Westword\, Denver CO \n“…the Weavers combine tradition with the spirit and energy of rock ‘n’ roll into an entertaining and satisfying evening of music\, humor and joy.” – News & Observer\, Raleigh\, NC \n“…their great humour and superb musicianship make them on of the finest bands on the circuit.” – Rogue Folk Review \n“…world class musicians with passion and a healthy sense of fun\, keeping alive and making accessible the very heart of the tradition itself.” – Mojo Magazine \n“If you haven’t yet discovered the emotional power and beauty of Celtic music\, then you owe it to yourself to see firsthand one of the best traditional Celtic folk bands in the world – The Tannahill Weavers. No other group comes close to matching their musical style and breathtaking harmony. Whether they’re performing an a cappella ballad with beauty and precision\, or a hard-driving Gaelic battle tune\, this band is one of a kind\, featuring stunning vocals\, as well as the best guitar\, pipes\, fiddle\, bohdran\, bones\, and tin whistle players anywhere.” – Miami Valley Guide to Musical Diversity \n“The group that introduced a generation raised on rock ‘n’ roll to the power and joy of Celtic music.” – The Oregonian\, Portland OR “Their artistry derives from the intricate weaving of past and present\, and a commingling of instrumental virtuosity and vocal harmonies that have won acclaim around the world.” – St. Paul Pioneer Press\, St. Paul\, MN \n  \n“This is Celtic music… much like bluegrass or good old rock and roll\, makes you want to get on your feet and dance. The Tannahill Weavers personify this music\, and if you are given to superlatives\, you have to call their talent ‘awesome’.” – John Millar\, Regina Leader Post \n“Versatility is their strong suit\, backed up by instrumental brilliance and on-stage high spirit.” – local press\, Vancouver\, Canada \n“What this Scottish quintet weaves are spellbinding performances of modern and traditional folk songs\, from the highlands and north of England.

SUMMARY:NICK JAINA
DESCRIPTION:All we are saying is give Nick a chance.  Added a bit late to the roster\, he hasn’t had as many opportunities for us to sing his praises. \nNICK JAINA is a musician and writer from Portland\, Oregon. \nHe has toured the world over the last decade\, releasing several albums on HUSH Records and Fluff & Gravy Records. He co-founded the Satellite Ballet and Collective in New York City\, which has collaborated with dancers from the New York City Ballet and Julliard. He has composed soundtracks for feature films and plays. \nGet It While You Can is his first book\, an impressionistic memoir about a love of music and the world. It was a finalist for the 2016 Oregon Book Award. \nHis live show is a collection of storytelling and music. He loops electric guitar and creates soundtracks for his stories\, interspersed with songs. It is like Radiohead meets Radiolab\, in intoxicating blend of music\, words\, and imagery. \nHere is a video clip: \n \n \nGet It While You Can is\, as the Los Angeles Review of Books says\, “a love song to music and to those who make it and live it.” It is a warm\, hopeful book about finding freedom and claiming it every day of your life\, despite all the traps along the way. \nPRAISE FOR GET IT WHILE YOU CAN \n“Terrific\, wry… as moving as it is precise. What the book does so well is to let us feel how powerfully making pulls against living\, how making can become living\, though it may leave the maker wanting.”\n– LA Review of Books (4.13.15) \n“So gorgeously frank you’ll be tempted to steal from [it].”\n– Vancouver B.C.’s Georgia Straight (1.16.15) \nPlease call 920-563-9391 to reserve.
