The CDC recommends that vaccinated Americans return to wearing masks in indoor spaces in communities where coronavirus transmission is substantial or high\, and Jefferson county\, Wisconsin\, is currently in the substantial category https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#county-view\, so we’ll do our part. \n\nThe small space of the listening room prevents any reasonable distancing. For the safety of everyone\, and to protect the performers who cannot mask while performing\, we will be requiring: \n\nproof of vaccination or a recent negative Covid test \nmask wearing in the listening room\, (and recommending it in all of our spaces when not eating or drinking.)\n\nKeep checking for updates\, as circumstances can change. \n\nThe stars have aligned to bring us these 3 great acts in the round on this night. \n\n \n \n \n \nInternational Folk Music Awards 2017 Artist of the Year ORDINARY ELEPHANT captivates audiences with their emotionally powerful and vulnerable songs\, letting the listener know that they are not alone in this world. The collaboration of husband and wife Pete and Crystal Damore\, their connection\, and their influences (such as Gillian Welch\, Guy Clark\, Anais Mitchell) all meet on stage. \n“Two become one\, in song…hand-in-glove harmonies surprise the listener with focused intensity and musical mastery\,” says Mary Gauthier. \nThe Associated Press is calling their latest album\, Honest\, “one of the best Americana albums of the year.” \n“I’m a big fan…intimate songs\, weaving harmonies\, and stories that draw you in as if you were gathered around an enchanted campfire.” — Eliza Gilkyson \nRACHAEL KILGOUR is a Minnesotan songwriter and performing artist whose sincere\, lyric-driven work has been called both brave and humane. The 2015 grand prize winner of the esteemed international NewSong Music Performance & Songwriting Competition and winner of the 2017 Kerrville New Folk Contest\, Kilgour has been featured at NYC’s Lincoln Center\, at The Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. and by the ASCAP Music Cafe at the Sundance Film Festival. \nCalled “…a heartfelt slice of master crafted indie folk brimming with the battle-tested capacity to endure the worst in others” by Billboard\, [her third album}Rabbit in the Road took an intimate and often painful look at the failed marriage and loss of family. Kilgour’s writing and delivery cut deep\, with resolute simplicity. Ravelin Magazine observed “this sort of metonymic ability to evoke the whole of someone or the entirety of a feeling is typical of Kilgour’s poetic songwriting.” \nHer newest EP\, Game Changer\, examines the artist’s tentative first steps into a new existence\, post-heartbreak. With a clear head\, Kilgour touches on the complicated nature of romance and relationship\, sets up a stunning defense of queer love\, and reassesses her priorities as a citizen of a changing wider world. \nAt age 44\, WES COLLINS and his wife Anita made a pact to become writers: she started writing fiction and Wes penned his first song. A few years later\, they were both multi-award-winners in their fields. Collins more than makes up for lost time with songs so dense with ideas that a first listen only scratches the surface. Come for a haunting melody and some intricate fingerpicking and stay for the wit and deep literary intelligence. There is always more to find in a Wes Collins song. \nWes has played shows from coast to coast including: The Blue Bird Cafe in Nashville\, TN; The Kerrville Folk Festival in Kerrville\, TX; the Cary Theater in Cary\, NC (opening for Dave Olney); and many more. He is a winner of the prestigious Grassy Hills New Folk Competition and a North Carolina Arts Council Songwriting Fellowship\, and has been featured as a finalist in The Telluride Troubadour Contest in Telluride\, CO; The Songwriter’s Serenade Competition in Moravia\, TX; and The Wildflower Performing Songwriter Contest in Dallas\, TX.
