SUMMARY:VANCE GILBERT
DESCRIPTION:VANCE GILBERT burst onto the singer/songwriter scene in the early 90’s when buzz started spreading in the folk clubs of Boston about an ex-multicultural arts teacher who was knocking ’em dead at open mics. Born and raised in the Philadelphia area\, Vance started out hoping to be a jazz singer\, and then discovered his affinity for the storytelling sensibilities of acoustic folk music. Once word got out about Gilbert’s stage-owning singing and playing\, Shawn Colvin invited him to be special guest on her Fat City Tour. \nNoted not only for being the ever consummate performer\, Gilbert has recorded 12 albums\, including 4 for Philo/Rounder Records and a duo album with friend Ellis Paul. Along with being opener of choice for artists as varied as Aretha Franklin\, Arlo Guthrie\, and Anita Baker\, 2006 and 2007 found Gilbert opening 140+ shows for comedian George Carlin. Most recently he’s the opener of choice for Paul Reiser and The Subdudes. \nConsidered by many to be an integral part of the national folk scene\, Gilbert’s approach to the acoustic singer songwriter idiom is significant. Gilbert’s compositions\, while frequently employing sophisticated melodies and harmonies that attest to his jazz roots\, remain sublime attestations to the storyteller’s craft. He even has a tune on a Grammy Nominated children’s album. How rounded is that? \nPlease call 920-563-9391 to reserve.

Tom’s guitar work demonstrates equal ease with a range of styles from jazz and pop to country and bluegrass. \nJohn Parrott is a rare species in the vast genus of acoustic guitarists. He plays the archtop rhythm guitar in a style that was common from the 1930s to the 1950s (think Count Basie\, Frank Sinatra\, and Bob Wills). For forty years he’s applied his skills\, sensibilities\, and adult chords to the field of String Jazz\, backing up such luminaries as John Hartford\, Vassar Clements\, and Steve Goodman. John is especially noted for his many years of laying down the swinging pulse for the great jazz mandolinists Jethro Burns and Don Stiernberg. John currently works and records with Milwaukee musicians Chris Hanson\, Robin Pluer and an assortment of jazz and swing artists. \nTogether they present a showcase of 20th century American music in a variety of genres with solidly swinging guitar artistry and more than acceptable vocals. \nPlease call 920-563-9391 to reserve. \n

SUMMARY:ROD PICOTT album release tour with Special Guest Ben de la Cour
DESCRIPTION:The son of a welder from rural New England\, ROD PICOTT is a masterful songwriter and soulful singer who carries with him as fine a suitcase of songs as you’ll find anywhere. Slaid Cleaves\, Ray Wylie Hubbard and Fred Eaglesmith have recorded Rod Picott songs. A former construction worker who hung up his tools when he released his debut CD in 2000\, Picott has carved a career for himself with a run of 6 beautifully crafted self released CDs over the last 13 years and a well earned reputation as a engaging\, emotion fueled performer.\nHang Your Hopes On Crooked Nail\, produced by RS Field [Billy Joe Shaver\, Justin Townes Earle\, Hayes Carll] is a collection of carefully crafted songs of rugged truth and beauty. Recorded at Joe Pisapia’s [KD Lang\, Guster] Middletree Studios in East Nashville the CD highlights Picott’s particular gift for exploring complex themes in common language. The eleven songs on Hang Your Hopes On a Crooked Nail offer an unblinking albeit wry gaze into our common heart and a clenched fist of defiance against the trials that tear at our humanity. \n“Accept Rod Picott for what he is; Americana of the highest order”    Julian Piper/ Acoustic Magazine \n“Gems that finely balance despair\, desire and optimism with dexterity    Arthur Wood/Maverick Magazine \n“Hangdog lyrics and deadpan delivery have the ability to strike a chord with anyone who has a heart.”    Alison Stokes/Country Music People \n2016 Kerrville New Folk winner BEN DE LA COUR has lived a different kind of life. \nAfter growing up in Brooklyn\, he set out to see the world as an amateur boxer\, bartender\, janitor and agricultural worker in Havana\, London\, Los Angeles and New Orleans before settling in Nashville. Influenced as much by giants such as Townes Van Zandt and Warren Zevon as by Nick Cave and The Gun Club\, Ben de la Cour has managed to meld all of these influences into a uniquely modern\, haunting and sometimes darkly humorous sound that is all his own. \n“Ben de la Cour’s songs are brimming with urgent authenticity. There is thematic hardness and vulnerability throughout\, but what distinguishes de la Cour’s songs from lesser guitar-and-anguished-vocals hacks is the raw humanity of his delivery and the potency of his way with words.” (No Depression) \nIn 2016 Ben de la Cour released ‘Midnight in Havana’\, eleven tightly crafted songs of what he likes to refer to as “Americanoir”. Tales of substance abuse\, murder and mental illness sit in perfect juxtaposition with occasional moments of playful lightheartedness and the ever-present glimmer of hope. However\, upon closer inspection\, darkness almost always wins…an unlikely hero\, but one that suits de la Cour. \n“Ben de la Cour bleeds the songs he sings. Within the understated instrumentation and de la Cour’s baritone voice lie stark\, haunting songscapes: moody recollections that recount the journey of a life that is not always pretty\, but proves better than one of mundane predictability.” (Turnstyled\, Junkpiled) \n“Ben de la Cour is a folk musician with the songwriting acumen of a young Nick Cave and the lyrical wisdom of a vitriolic Leonard Cohen. His songs are stark\, melancholic and packed with emotion and will send you collectively weak at the knees.” (Fresh Deer Meat) \nPlease call to reserve at 920-563-9391.
