SUMMARY:ELLIS PAUL
DESCRIPTION:Buy tickets for the in-house show below the bio.  COVID protocols remain in place. Mask wearing in back room and proof of vaccination required. \nPurchase tickets for the live stream here. \nELLIS PAUL is 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 Slowing Down” featured in Me\, Myself and Irene starring Jim Carrey.  \nHis 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.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED!!!!!- Humbird/ Her Crooked Heart
DESCRIPTION:Dangerous icy weather in the Twin Cities is preventing them from driving down for the show.  They will try to reschedule. Lonesome Bill Camplin will occupy the stage at 8:00.  Please call 920-563-9391 to reserve seats if that option interests you. \nATTN:  While COVID is still misbehaving\, we are requiring proof of vaccination as well as mask wearing in the listening room. \nWe are so happy that Siri (Humbird) and Rachel (Her Crooked Heart) have agreed to return after they wowed people during the Lamplighter Sessions this December. They will swap songs\, and accompany each other at their whim. \nWe will also be live streaming- click on this to buy tickets for the live stream. \nTICKETS FOR THE IN PERSON SHOW: \n\n      \n        \n      \n    \nHUMBIRD will be Siri Undlin solo. Combining a wintry longing with the warmth of a familiar folktale\, Humbird stretches between experimental folk and environmental Americana to embrace the unexpected. Her music invites a refreshing dissonance into the house\, it leaves breadcrumbs along the path and reflects light back at the stars. \nHER CROOKED HEART is writer\, multi-instrumentalist and producer Rachael Ries. Rachael is a Minneapolis-based musician\, songwriter\, Kith + Kin Chorus director\, sideman\, auntie\, artist and tiny home inhabiter. She has released four albums and four EPs\, including the country ep\, a split 45 of countryish duets with longtime friend and collaborator\, Anaïs Mitchell. In 2016\, with the release of To Gentlemen\, Rachel parted ways from performing as “Rachel Ries” and now writes for and tours with her new project\, HER CROOKED HEART. HCH carries Rachel’s wry and powerfully tender writing farther down the path of instrumental expansion and distillation. HCH’s debut album\,To Love To Leave To Live\, was released May 2019. \nHear Siri and Rachel together here just for fun.

SUMMARY:BILL CAMPLIN & MICHAEL HECHT
DESCRIPTION:Please call 920-563-9391 to reserve seats.** \n\nFrom the mouth of Bill before the last time he did such a show with Michael: \n\n“This Thursday\, May 20th I will be sharing an evening of excerpts form the writing of poets\, playwrights\, authors and historical figures with Michael Hecht.  These will include Helen Keller\, Arthur Miller\, Eric Maria Ramarque\, Lucy Atkins\, Yusef Kamuryakaa\, Jimmy Santiago Baca\, Dalton Trumbo\, Martin Luther King Richard Harrison\, Paul Laurence Dunbar and Langston Hughes. \nThis will be at least the 7th time we have worked together with me supplying songs spaced between the writing he has organized and reads from.  I have never had a better collaboration in which to place songs\, which in this case are all my own writings.  It is not to presume that I am equating my own lyrics with any of these writers\, but allows me to visit the type of writing that has inspired and informed me through out my 74 years ( minus the first 7 or so).  Most of Mr. Hecht’s choices were specifically unknown to me so I am in the audience too.  As I listen I find a comfortability in performing that I have seldom had.  It feels so right.” \nThis night Michael will be doing readings from Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr. and Mary Oliver. Bill has not revealed his sources. \n**ATTENTION: re the coronavirus situation. The 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\n\nproof of vaccination\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 could require further measures\, or even cancellation.

SUMMARY:LARRY UNGER w/ AUDREY KNUTH
DESCRIPTION:Please call 920-563-9391 to reserve seats. Also\, COVID precautions (proof of vaccination and wearing of masks in listening room) are still in place.   \nEnjoy this clip of Larry and Audrey. \nLARRY UNGER was raised in Detroit\, and he moved to the Boston area as a young adult. He has been a full-time musician since 1984\, and he has presented a diverse range of music at contra dances\, Scottish and English country dances\, waltz events\, dance weekends\, dance and music camps\, festivals\, coffee houses and concerts all across the United States. He has also toured in Canada\, England\, Scotland\, France\, Belgium\, Germany\, Italy\, Denmark and Sweden\, and has taught music in Afghanistan and performed in India. \nLarry has played guitar\, banjo\, and bass with many top bands for contra dances including Big Table\, Notorious\, Reckless Abandon\, The Reckless Ramblers\, Tempest and Uncle Gizmo. He has accompanied such fiddlers as Elke Baker\, Ralph Blizard\, Alasdair Fraser\, Matt Glaser\, Judy Hyman\, Audrey Knuth\, Rodney Miller\, Lissa Schneckenburger\, and Eden MacAdam-Somer\, to name a few. The bands Larry has been a part of vary in style from old-time to New England to Celtic and international. \nIn addition to his work with other musicians\, Larry gives solo concerts that include a wide variety of music: finger-style blues and slide guitar\, rags\, old-time banjo tunes\, original waltzes and fiddle tunes. He likes to play a number of unusual instruments such as banjo guitar\, fretless banjo\, jaw harp and piano harp. \nLarry has a broad understanding of traditional music\, and he enjoys telling the stories about the origins of his music and the people he learned from. Larry spent many hours playing blues with Etta Baker\, John Jackson\, Turner Foddrell\, Ted Bogan\, and other masters of the style. His trips south also included numerous sessions at old-time fiddle conventions. \nLarry has composed more than 5000 tunes\, many of which have been recorded by one of his bands or by other groups. His tunes are widely played at contra dances everywhere. He has published three books of original tunes and has recorded two entire CDs of original waltzes (with Ginny Snowe). \nLarry’s compositions and recordings have been featured in four different Ken Burns television documentaries. His tune “Door County #2” was played on the Grand Ole Opry by Mike Snider. “That Schoenberg Rag” was performed by the San Luis Obispo Symphony Orchestra. \nLarry teaches guitar and old-time banjo at the Music Emporium in Lexington\, Massachusetts. (He has also been known to give bass or ukulele lessons.) He also presents workshops at camps and weekend festivals on a variety of topics from guitar and banjo to dance-band and tune-writing. \nYou know AUDREY KNUTH is performing if the room is buzzing at a higher level. Her fiddling\, featured in bands including The Free Raisins\, The Gaslight Tinkers\, Audacious (with Larry Unger)\, and Wake Up Robin\, has electrified dance and concert halls across the US and Europe. Hailing from Honolulu and now living in California\, she cut her folk teeth in the Boston area\, attending Berklee College of Music and spending years exploring the thriving New England folk scene. Audrey’s fiddle playing is rhythmically lively and spontaneous; she’s guaranteed to get you up and dancing. She specializes in English dance\, New England\, Celtic\, and Old Time tunes (and did we mention she’s also an audio engineer?!). You might also have taken a workshop with Audrey\, as she’s been on staff at various camps including various weeks at Pinewoods\, Ashokan Northern Week\, BACDS American week\, New London Assembly and Halsway Manor.
