SUMMARY:KAIA FOWLER
DESCRIPTION:KAIA FOWLER’s music shows influences from genres that include modern singer-songwriter\, 1960s and 70s folk and folk rock\, Americana\, acoustic blues\, and roots music. Her sound integrates beautifully resonant vocals reminiscent of singers like Joan Baez and Joni Mitchell with guitar work that ranges from delicate finger picking to percussive strumming. Kaia took up guitar playing and songwriting at a young age\, and\, throughout her life\, she has poured her observations on life’s struggles\, longings\, joys\, and sorrows into songs. In concert\, Kaia’s energy and authenticity invite listeners to transcend the day-to-day\, getting at the heart of the human experience in the way only music can.\n \nKaia’s music stands out for its lyrical detail and melodic phrasings that take advantage of her wide vocal range.  A review by The Americana Gazette says\, “Kaia Fowler is a tremendous lyricist. Her lyrics paint pictures and her musical notes add the color.” Selections from her 2010 album Seams of My Heart received radio play on Women of Substance Radio. Kaia’s 2015 album\, an EP titled All The Way\, is dedicated to her husband who died of pancreatic cancer\, with sales benefiting the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. A new album\, One Breath\, is scheduled for release in 2019. \nShe was a finalist in the 2012 Great River Folk Festival songwriting competition. \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:SARAH MORRIS/ BEN BEDFORD
DESCRIPTION:Friends Sarah and Ben will share the stage together\, alternating songs. Please call 920-563-9391 to reserve seats. \n\nOver the last eight years\, Americana singer-songwriter SARAH MORRIS has been busy building: a family\, a band\, and a reputation for engaging performances\, with a voice both clear and lush. Sarah hails from Minneapolis\, Minnesota\, where from a young age\, music was etched upon her DNA. Morris immersed herself in her parent’s eclectic record collection before finally falling in love with the storytelling and songcraft in country music. The music of Mary Chapin Carpenter\, Alison Krauss\, and Kathy Mattea changed Sarah’s course entirely. \nAfter graduating from the Lawrence University Conservatory of Music\, she wasted no time packing her bags for Nashville. Her years in Music City instilled a traditional songwriting sensibility fully on display over the course of her recent albums: 2017’s Hearts in Need of Repair\, and 2015’s Ordinary Things. Both albums earned international airplay\, reached the top 100 of the Americana Music Associations radio chart\, and critical acclaim. Sarah was a winner of the 2018 Kerrville New Folk competition in Kerrville\, TX. Additionally\, she was a top 4 finalist in The NewSong Music Contest at Lincoln Center in NYC (January 2016)\, took 2nd place at the 2016 Chris Austin Songwriting Competition at MerleFest in Wilkesboro\, NC\, and her song\, “Brighter” was a 2016 Americana semi-finalist in the International Songwriting Competition. \nIn addition to Sarah’s solo project\, she is one half of Americana duo\, The Home Fires\, featuring Vicky Emerson. \n“Sarah Morris [is] a bright\, clear\, brilliant songwriter. There are those albums you hear once in a while that just sound right\, just pure and crisp and perfect and they make you think well\, here’s someone with a…gift.” Jon Hunt\, L‘Etoile Magazine \n“And what a voice it is\, never showy or seeking the limelight\, just impressive within the requirements of the song and that in itself\, in this day and age\, is a rare thing. It is that restraint\, coupled with the room to breath that the songwriting affords her that makes her shine so brightly.” – Dancing About Architecture \nBEN BEDFORD \n“Certainly one of the best young singer-songwriters working today.”-Rob Adams\, The Herald-Scotland \n“Ben Bedford has proven himself to be a truly inspired and talented storyteller…” according to Arthur Wood (Maverick). Bedford establishes himself as a songwriter in the tradition of musical icons ranging from Bill Morrissey to Woody Guthrie\, casting individual people in the theater of the American landscape. A true son of the heartland\, Bedford dips into the deep inkwell of classic American literature and writes with the ‘old soul’ quality of his literary idols\, such as John Steinbeck and Toni Morrison. \n“The Illinois songwriter is a masterful storyteller who can turn what seem like obscure historical references into engaging tales rife with vivid\, stark imagery.” –Erik Ernst\, The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel \nIn the past twelve years since the release of his first album\, Bedford has played his songs for audiences all over the United States hitting notable venues such as The Bluebird Cafe in Nashville\, Folkstage in Chicago\, and the Fayetteville Roots Festival in Fayetteville\, Arkansas. His music has received extensive airplay on folk and roots radio in the U.S.\, as well as in Europe\, taking him overseas on several occasions for concert dates on the continent and in the United Kingdom. Notable dates there include Izzy Young’s famed Folklore Centrum in Stockholm\, Sweden\, Toogenblik in Brussells\, Belgium\, and The Green Note in London\, England. Bedford’s albums have charted highly on the Euro Americana charts and the Folk-DJ charts and his music has been played on National Public Radio’s Car Talkand featured in The Sounding Board\, the official newsletter of the renowned C.F. Martin Guitar Company. In addition to independent terrestrial stations\, Bedford’s music has received extensive airplay from syndicated programs such as “River City Folk” (syndicated by WFMT)\, “The Midnight Special” (syndicated by WFMT)\, BBC-Scotland\, and the SIRIUS XM station “The Village”\, all helping to gain Bedford a wider geographical audience. \nIn July of 2010\, Bedford was named one of the “50 most significant Folk singer-songwriters of the past 50 years” by Rich Warren of WFMT-Chicago. The list also included Bob Dylan\, Townes Van Zandt\, Anais Mitchell\, Joni Mitchell\, and John Prine. \nIn May of 2018\, Bedford was named one of the six Grassy Hill Kerrville New Folk winners at the Kerrville Folk Festival in Texas. \nBedford has recorded five studio albums: Lincoln’s Man (2007)\, Land of the Shadows (2009)\, What We Lost (2012)\, The Pilot and the Flying Machine (2016)\, and The Hermit’s Spyglass (2018). \nHe will spend 2019 and 2020 touring in support of The Hermit’s Spyglass.
