SUMMARY:Writer LOUIS V. CLARK III: a reading & discussion
DESCRIPTION:Oneida Indian author and poet LOUIS V. CLARK III will read from his book “How to Be an Indian in the 21st Century”. \nThis book received an Outstanding Achievement Award from the Wisconsin Library Association in 2018. \nWritten with the rhythms of Oneida oral storytelling traditions\, this new Wisconsin Historical Society Press memoir weaves poems and prose to capture the alienation\, audacity\, and triumph that have defined Clark’s life experiences\, from childhood on the Rez\, through racially-charged bullying\, and to his role as modern-day elder. Clark celebrates “The heartbeat of my nation” and encourages the rest of us to “speak the truth\, confound the idiots\, [and] listen to the silence.” \nClark’s unique voice takes readers on a deeply personal and profound quest through a wide range of subjects — from workplace racism to falling in love and the Green Bay Packers — to discover what it means to him to be an American Indian. In sharing the sometimes uncomfortable truths he unravels\, Clark adds an important voice to the ongoing conversation about race and belonging in America. \nBorn and raised on the Oneida Reservation in northeastern Wisconsin\, Louis V. Clark III (Two Shoes) turned to poetry to continue the oral tradition of his people\, the People of the Standing Stone. A member of the Iroquois Confederacy\, he and his family are of the Bear clan. \nHis first chapbook\, “Two Shoes\,” was published in 2011. He and his wife live in Omro\, Wisconsin\, where their home is filled with love from six children and nine grandchildren. \nCopies of the book will be available for sale and signing. \nThe event is sponsored by Friends of Lorine Neidecker\, and is free.

SUMMARY:JEFF MASON & TRICIA ALEXANDER
DESCRIPTION:TRICIA ALEXANDER and JEFF MASON first met at the Cafe Carpe almost 20 years ago. They were drawn to each other’s style of play\, chord voicings\, musical influences and energy. They played several gigs together (often with help from percussionist of light Alpha Stewart\, Jr) and then took different musical paths. \nThey reunited recently at the monthly Song Circle gatherings hosted by Tricia at the Carpe…and have so much fun making music together that they decided it is time to share the stage again. Jeff says\, “it is like we never took a few decades off. We have both grown and changed and playing together is more joyful than ever.” \nTricia Alexander is an accomplished singer\, songwriter\, guitarist\, harmonicist\, poet\, teacher. Her music is a mix of folk\, jazz\, blues\, poetry. She has performed in scores of cafes\, concert halls\, churches and schools. Her music is positive\, empowering and uplifting. \nJeff Mason plays guitar and sings in several local combos\, including: The Merry Horde\, A Rose Among Thorns\, The Expanded Waist Band\, Jeff & Steve\, and also performs solo. He describes himself as a blues guitarist who learned to play many different styles of music. \nTheir music is: living in the moment\, listening\, improvising\, and having fun. \nPlease call 920-563-9391 to reserve.

SUMMARY:JEFFREY FOUCAULT/ Erik Koskinen SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:At this moment- no tickets left. \nBuy tickets in advance using this link: \n \nJEFFREY FOUCAULT grew up in Whitewater.  A longtime disciple of the rich and strange music that sings behind the American veil\, Foucault has spent the last decade mining the darker seams of country and blues\, producing a string of spare and elemental albums of rare power while garnering accolades across the United States and overseas for a tersely elegant brand of songwriting set apart by its haunting imagery and weather-beaten cool. He now lives in Western Massachusetts. \n“Describing Foucault’s music with words like economic\, literate\, simple\, restrained\, aching\, and raw doesn’t go far enough. There’s a purity and delicacy here… free of pretensions or imitation. He has shaped his own unique style and has a way of looking inward and painting detailed reflections that few can match.” Glide Magazine \nMusically sprouted from the blend of American folk\, country\, rock-n-roll\, and blues\, opening act Erik Koskinen realizes a sound that is distinctive and fresh while familiar and classic. Koskinen’s albums are a lyrical and musical metaphor of American’s theaters of war\, of history\, of relationships\, and of the reflections in the mirror. Knowing but not didactic\, Koskinen channels the ways of Whitman and reverently enters the anthology of uniquely crafted wry songs with the likes of Woody Guthrie and Ry Cooder while speaking as plainly as your neighbor. \nThe Minneapolis Star Tribune calls Koskinen “the real deal” and “the best country songwriter in Minnesota.”

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.

SUMMARY:BILL MILLER
DESCRIPTION:Purchase tickets in advance through Brown Paper Tickets. Click on the Buy tickets button: \n \nBILL MILLER is an award-winning Native American recording artist\, performer\, songwriter\, activist\, painter\, and world-class accomplished flute player. Over the entirety\, Miller has produced over a dozen albums\, received three Grammy Awards\, numerous NAMA awards (including a “Lifetime Achievement Award) and led Wisconsin’s La Crosse Symphony Orchestra. He is now touring in support of a recent collaboration album Look Again To The Wind: Johnny Cash’s Bitter Tears Revisited where Bill has the title track. \nA Mohican Indian from northern Wisconsin\, Bill Miller has long been one of the most admired figures in the Native American music arena and beyond. As an award-winning recording artist\, performer\, songwriter\, activist\, and painter\, he’s been a voice for the voiceless\, a link between two great and clashing civilizations. \nWith his new album\, Chronicles of Hope\, Bill hopes to further inspire fans\, both present and future. “My faith in my Creator leaves me content with the gifts I have\,” he says\, “and I use them to enrich the world through His blessings. I choose to bless people rather than curse them\, to be a peacemaker rather than a warmaker.” As songs like “The Promise” make clear\, Bill feels just as passionate about saving the environment of North America\, the land of his forebears. ” I think we should feel as if we’re living in the Garden of Eden\, and we should take care of the land\,” he says emphatically. “I’ll always use my music to urge people to preserve the land.” \nBill has an equally active career as a painter. His work has been shown and sold in prestigious galleries around the country\, and he maintains a studio at his Nashville home\, where he lives with his wife and children. With so busy a personal and professional life\, it would seem that Bill Miller could cruise ever onward in easy contentment. But artists don’t work that way. “I’ve been given a lot of second chances in my life\,” he says. “I’ve been through alcoholism and other problems. I was lifted out of the ditch\, and I still see a blue sky above. After years of living against the grain\, I see things as rivers\, creeks and rainstorms\, as the liquid layers of my life.” \n

SUMMARY:JOHN STATZ/ KYLE COX
DESCRIPTION:One of the more prolific young songwriters working in the Folk/Americana genre today\, JOHN STATZ has released eight studio albums and performed all over North America (including Canada and Mexico) and Europe\, all in just twelve years’ time. The Boston Globe has called John’s music “electric\, urgent folk; aching\, sweet country-rock”\, while American Songwriter has said that he writes “the kind of songs that float through your mind and stay nestled in your thoughts long after listening”. \nOn his last three albums John worked with some of the best producers in the genre: Bo Ramsey (Lucinda Williams\, Greg Brown)\, Jeffrey Foucault\, and Megan Burtt. For this go around\, John invited Nathan Edwards—a former college buddy who is now a recording technology professor at their alma mater\, The University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh—to co-produce an elemental\, heartfelt acoustic record. \n“John Statz writes songs you can’t shake. They follow you around all day and run through your head at 3 a.m. Open hearted\, horizon-line songs.” – Jeffrey Foucault \nJohn Statz was given a guitar by his grandmother when he was 15\, which turned out to be perfectly timed for a teenager who\, after ten years of piano lessons\, had lost interest in classical music and had taken to learning John Lennon and Elton John tunes. It wasn’t until Statz was 19 and attending university in Oshkosh that he began writing songs. The spark lit after attending a show at the storied Café Carpe in Fort Atkinson\, Wisconsin featuring Jeffrey Foucault and Peter Mulvey\, who quickly became heroes\, and\, later on\, friends and collaborators. The first record\, Dusk Came Slow\, was engineered by the very same Nathan Edwards who co-produced Darkness on the San Juans\, completing a circle of sorts between past and present. John moved to Denver in 2010 where he casually gardens in his backyard\, cooks almost entirely in cast-iron cookware\, and reads presidential biographies in chronological order. \nKYLE COX‘s uncanny ability to connect with his audience is the bridge that leads his followers over the troubled waters of everyday life. \nBorn a military kid in the Lone Star state of Texas\, Cox spent a lot of his life moving around\, putting down and pulling up stakes in Omaha\, NE\, Washington\, DC\, and\, around his middle school days\, Orlando\, FL\, where he spent 17 years and pledged his undying allegiance to the city’s NBA team\, the Magic. \nNow firmly pledged to the historic fraternity of Nashville songwriters\, Kyle Cox has the tools at his disposal to build a solid bridge that leads to a long career. And it all begins and ends with just one thing: the song. When asked to describe the feeling he gets when he finishes writing a song and he can say to himself\, “That’s it! I got it!\,” Cox doesn’t hesitate for a second to respond\, “Oh dude\, that’s the best feeling in the world. I love it\, man!” \n\nCall 920-563-9391 to reserve.

SUMMARY:BOBBY LONG
DESCRIPTION:British singer-songwriter BOBBY LONG emerged from London’s club scene with a reputation for creating memorable songs inhabited by hauntingly poetic lyrics. He relocated to New York in 2009 and has since released four CDs inhabited by powerful original material: A Winter Tale (2011)—an homage to his acoustic roots; Wishbone (2013)—a gritty opus that showcases his sorrow-filled voice and stellar guitar playing; the critically-acclaimed Ode to Thinking (2015\, Compass Records)\, which applies his varied musical influences to a compelling collection of original songs\, and the latest\, Sultans\, arriving on March 1\, 2019. \nOf him\, one writer recently wrote: “Bobby Long is a British-born singer-songwriter who wraps his voice around the truth without judgment\, melancholy without tears. His gentle guitar style allows for his plaintive and honest lyrics to crash like thunder. It’s the blues with a solution. There are many comparisons to be made\, but toss those aside for a moment won’t you and leave it to the man\, his guitar\, and you.” \nAdditionally\, Long has published two volumes of poetry—Losing My Brotherhood (2012) and Losing My Misery (2016). \n  \nPlease call 920-563-9391 to reserve. \n

SUMMARY:MARK DVORAK/ DAVE COFELL- Cancelled due to weather concerns
DESCRIPTION:Seemed safer to cancel this than to have performers and attendees risk their safety.  We will reschedule for a date down the unsnowy road. \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 \nRaised in the fertile farmlands of Central Minnesota\, DAVE COFELL‘s songwriting reflects both his rural roots and his life-long musical explorations.\nHis performances include a crafted mix of folk\, blues\, jazz\, classic country\, classic rock\, novelty songs\, classical guitar\, and occasionally clawhammer banjo. You will hear\, among others\, the influences of John Prine\, Neil Young\, Johnny Cash\, Fats Waller\, Hank Williams Sr.\, Howlin’ Wolf\, Pete Seeger\, Leo Kottke\, Stan Rogers\, John Denver\, and Leadbelly. \n“As professional and laid back a musician as I’ve ever had the chance to meet. Totally immersed in the song from the first note he plays. Great songwriter and an intelligent/talented musician. A road warrior that surprises you when he fires off the first note and is gone down that track like he’s out of the starting gate.” – Big Dave Anderson – Big Dave’s Beat Farm\, KTWH 99.5 FM Two Harbors Community Radio
