SUMMARY:Live recording: Peter MULVEY w/ SistaStrings & Nathan Kilen
DESCRIPTION:Buy tickets below using the Brown Paper Ticket link\, or purchase in person at the Cafe Carpe. \n \nPETER MULVEY     has been a songwriter\, road-dog\, raconteur and almost-poet since before he can remember. Raised working-class Catholic on the Northwest side of Milwaukee\, he took a semester in Ireland\, and immediately began cutting classes to busk on Grafton Street in Dublin and hitchhike through the country\, finding whatever gigs he could. Back stateside\, he spent a couple years gigging in the Midwest before lighting out for Boston\, where he returned to busking (this time in the subway) and coffeehouses. Small shows led to larger shows\, which eventually led to regional and then national and international touring. The wheels have not stopped since. \nEighteen records\, one illustrated book\, thousands of live performances\, a TEDx talk\, a decades-long association with the National Youth Science Camp\, opening for luminaries such as Ani DiFranco\, Emmylou Harris\, and Chuck Prophet\, appearances on NPR\, an annual autumn tour by bicycle\, emceeing festivals\, hosting his own boutique festival (the Lamplighter Sessions\, in Boston and Wisconsin)… Mulvey never stops. He has built his life’s work on collaboration and on an instinct for the eclectic and the vital. He folds everything he encounters into his work: poetry\, social justice\, scientific literacy\, and a deeply abiding humanism are all on plain display in his art. \nSISTA STRINGS \nThe sound of SistaStrings can’t be described in one word. The Milwaukee-based sister duo combines their classical background with R&B with a touch of gospel influence that culminates in a vibey\, lush sound. With thick string harmonies between violin and cello and soulful voices\, SistaStrings takes you on a journey. Formed in 2014 after the sisters graduated from college\, Chauntee (violin) moved back from her studies at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and Monique from the University of Wisconsin-Madison\, the sisters began doing string arrangements for local hip-hop artists and the rest is history. Slowly but surely\, SistaStrings built a following and began playing more shows with collaboration being one of their strongest points. \nThe sisters not only write and arrange but find pleasure sitting in with musicians and exploring what sounds come from improvisation and spontaneity. Outside of being their own act\, SistaStrings can often be found playing alongside singer/songwriter Peter Mulvey. Having been raised in church\, SistaStrings was able to build their improv skills and ear training. The classical background that the two sisters have had allows them to command their instrument at will. Between the two of them\, they have performed in some of the most reputable halls\, including Carnegie Hall and in their classical career they have soloed with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra and the Madison Symphony Orchestra. \nSistaStrings has performed with Malik Yusef\, opened for Black Violin\, Bone Thugs ‘N Harmony\, Lupe Fiasco\, BJ The Chicago Kid\, and The Roots. Outside of playing music venues\, SistaStrings goes into schools and conducts assemblies\, encouraging young people to pursue the arts and to not be afraid of hard work. Outreach and representation are important to these two young ladies as African American string players. The ladies are advocates for diversity in the arts and promote social justice in all that they do musically. SistaStrings will be releasing their debut EP in 2019. \nVocals\, Violin / Chauntee Ross\nVocals\, Cello / Monique Ros \nNATHAN KILEN  proficiently plays songs while hitting things with sticks and brushes.

SUMMARY:JEREMY CLYDE of Chad & Jeremy
DESCRIPTION:We will open at 5\, and are serving food. \nClick on Buy tickets to get yourself some. Can also buy in person at the Carpe.\n \nJEREMY CLYDE of Chad & Jeremy apparently enjoyed his visit here in August. He and his Bottom Drawer Band are back with a new show for 2020\, presenting 1960s Chad & Jeremy classics\, deep cuts from the psychedelic years\, and songs from Jeremy’s ‘Bottom Drawer’ project. Featuring Emeen Zarookian on lead guitar\, Sage Etters on cello\, and Kaitlin Wolfberg on violin.\n\nClyde celebrates the release of his new CD\, “The Bottom Drawer Sessions No. 5” with a special concert event highlighting songs from all five volumes of “The Bottom Drawer Sessions”. The first of Chad Stuart & Jeremy Clyde’s 14 U.S. chart hits was “Yesterday’s Gone”\, followed by “A Summer Song”\, “Willow Weep for Me”\, “If I Loved You”\, and “Before and After”. TV appearances included “Shindig”\, “Hullabaloo”\, “The Patty Duke Show”\, “The Dick Van Dyke Show” and “Batman”. Their musical adventure-and evolution-continued with the hits “Distant Shores” and “You Are She”\, from late 1966\, but they turned a corner with the September 25\, 1966 LP release ‘of cabbages and kings”. Looking back at the classic album\, AllMusic guide says “Stuart and Clyde were gifted songwriters who could work outside the standard pop framework of the day\, and Stuart (who orchestrated the album) was a talented and imaginative arranger who gives the material a sound that’s both rich and intimate. “That songwriting gift never left Jeremy Clyde\, through decades of off and on touring with Chad & Jeremy and on and on acting on British television\, including “Downton Abbey”\, and the stages of London’s West End. With the 2014 release of  “The Bottom Drawer Sessions No. 1”\, 2016’s “The Bottom Drawer Sessions No. 2”\, spring 2017’s\, “The Bottom Drawer Sessions No. 3”\, spring 2018’s “The Bottom Drawer Sessions No. 4”\, spring 2019’s “The Bottom Drawer Sessions No. 5”\, \, Jeremy Clyde has –with more than 50 sweeping\, evocative\, inspired recordings- officially reclaimed the songwriter’s title.\nhttp://www.bottomdrawersessions.com\n\n“Business As Usual”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSHk8w4yUdk

SUMMARY:ELLIS PAUL
DESCRIPTION:Use the Buy Tickets link to get yourself some: \n \nELLIS PAUL  A troubadour\, a singer/songwriter\, a folky\, and a storyteller — all are fair labels for this artist\, but they do not quite suffice. However\, the tattoo of Woody Guthrie worn proudly on his arm is a good starting place from which to grasp Ellis Paul\, for it is from the Woody Guthrie tradition that he hails\, and Maine as well. Joni Mitchell\, Bob Dylan\, and James Taylor are also listed among his influences\, and their spirits seem to occasionally grace his work. With an acoustic guitar in hand\, he weaves intimate\, provocative\, and romantic tales of lives that were obviously witnessed by a most-talented voyeur. \nBased in Massachusetts\, Paul has been called the quintessential Boston songwriter more than a few times and has garnered the recognition and awards to back up that claim\, including a shelf full of Boston Music Awards. Since coming onto the scene in 1993 with his independent debut\, Say Something\, Paul hasn’t slowed or weakened as a performer or a writer. Spending two-thirds of most years on the road has helped him perfect both crafts\, with a lot of practice on-stage and a lot of people whose stories he retells in song. In fact\, his 1994 album Stories proved enchanting enough to secure him a deal with Rounder Records and a national following of dedicated fans. \nOver the years and albums\, his songs have gotten more personal. He purposely turned the looking glass onto his own life for 1998’s aptly titled Translucent Soul as he publicly worked through the pain of his divorce. Following hot on the heels of 1999’s double-CD Live\, the new millennium saw Paul’s song “The World Ain’t\nSlowing Down” featured in Me\, Myself and Irene starring Jim Carrey. His eighth studio release\, a collection of previously unreleased tracks called Sweet Mistakes\, arrived in 2001\, followed by Speed of Trees (2002)\, a two-disc career retrospective (2006)\, a children’s record inspired by the birth of his second daughter called The Dragonfly Races (2008)\, and\, finally\, an all-new studio album\, The Day After Everything Changed\, in January 2010. In 2012\, Paul released his second children’s record\, The Hero in You\, which featured songs about Benjamin Franklin\, Georgia O’ Keefe\, Rosa Parks\, and Thomas Edison\, and other notable Americans that Paul deemed heroic. \nChasing Beauty was released in 2014 and his 20th studio album\, The Storyteller’s Suitcase\, in 2019.\n— Kelly McCartney for AllMusic
