For the past forty-plus years\, Johnsmith has been sharing his music all across America and abroad. He has become a favorite at festivals\, clubs\, and house concerts alike. In addition to being a Kerrville New Folk Winner\, Johnsmith has released nine solo CDs to rave reviews\, leads musical tours to Ireland\, leads Idaho rafting trips\, teaches songwriting\, and has served as a staff songwriter in Nashville. \nWith his faded jeans\, his twinkly blue eyes\, and his infectious smile\, John immediately connects with audiences. You get the sense of a man who loves his life\, his family and friends\, and who loves nothing more than sharing that love in song and stories all across this land. \n\n \n \n \n \n  URL:https://cafecarpe.com/event/johnsmith-3/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20221203T203000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20221203T223000 DTSTAMP:20260429T070733 CREATED:20220829T211116Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221113T202457Z UID:7215-1670099400-1670106600@cafecarpe.com SUMMARY:CHRIS HANSON BAND w/ Robin Pluer DESCRIPTION:For this event\, the CHRIS HANSON BAND will consist of Chris Hanson\, Robin Pluer\, and John Parrott.  Purchase tickets after the bios. \nIf you’ve ever watched TV you’ve heard CHRIS HANSON‘s music.

His Wisconsin roots go back to his great-grandparents’ cottage in Shell Lake. Started two college string departments\, (Berklee College of Music – Boston; McNally Smith College of Music – St. Paul) recorded a dozen albums and fly fishes in his spare time.  \nYazmin Bowers hails from Washburn on Chequemegon Bay and is the progeny of two musical parents – Hope McLeod and the late Bruce Bowers. She sings\, writes\, paints and is a Latin music and dance aficionado.  \nEd Willett is an extraordinary cellist – superb classical chops\, highly skilled improviser\, and the ability to accompany himself while singing. He’s had a long career performing with his wife\, vocalist Cheryl Leah as the group “Chance.” And by the way\, he spent a couple of years touring with Rickie Lee Jones.  \nThese three players have worked with each other as ad hoc members of the Big Top Chautauqua’s “Blue Canvas Orchestra” over many years. During the recent pandemic shut down we were all wondering “what should we do next?” As it turned out\, the answer is “This!”  \n“My performances either present me as a jazz violinist leading a rhythm section or as a multi-instrumentalist backing up a solo singer/songwriter. Playing with Yazmin Bowers and Ed Willett I have the freedom to flip back and forth between those two roles. The depth of talent allows each of us to step into the spotlight with our individual voices while the others provide accompaniment. You will hear me play an original instrumental on piano while Yazmin solos on synthesizer and Ed plucks a bass line on cello. Yazmin will sing one of her heartfelt songs as Ed and  \nI weave in improvised background string lines. I’ll break into one of my fiddle tunes with Yazmin on accordion and Ed on guitar. We’ll dive into blues\, folk\, jazz\, classical\, Latin styles and more while delicately dancing within and without each other’s musical space.” RS  URL:https://cafecarpe.com/event/randy-sabien-trio/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20221209T203000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20221209T223000 DTSTAMP:20260429T070733 CREATED:20220915T130256Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221209T205440Z UID:7269-1670617800-1670625000@cafecarpe.com SUMMARY:SHITUNAUTS- Friday 2 tickets left DESCRIPTION:at this moment- things can change \nWILLY PORTER  PETER MULVEY  PAUL CEBAR  BILL CAMPLIN  in the semicircle\, keeping it down to earth.

I love the small town living and the brotherly/sisterly love shown to neighbors as well as strangers. I am a single father\, I work for and champion individuals with disabilities. I write poetry\, songs and now books. I have performed as a rap artist\, owned and operated a local talent music production company\, I have been involved with programs that centered on mentoring young adults\, I have coached pee wee league football and I’ve done some motivational speaking engagements. This Book was written from my spiritual energy and the words put together in the way I received them.

Please arrive around 6:45 if coming just for the show. \n\n \n \n \n \nExcited to have finally come with a great New Year’s Eve plan. It is our usual New Year’s Eve dinner* and music** package\, but the twist is that \nwe are starting the MUSIC at 7:00– two sets separated by a dessert break. (As the New Year has not the ability to know the difference\, we will welcome it at some point in the musical evening. And\, if you so desire\,  you can greet it again in the comfort of your bed at midnight.) \nWe will open at 5:00 for those eating.   \n*DINNER will be served at 3 seating times:  5:15\, 5:45 and 6:15. It will be chicken tchoupitoulas- a seasoned chicken breast on a bed of potatoes\, mushrooms\, and ham covered with Bernaise sauce\, preceded by a creamy spinach garlic soup.  Those of you who need a vegetarian or vegan option please alert us considerably in advance so that we can accommodate you.  A dessert buffet will happen between sets. (Note that this is not included in the just for the show ticket price.) \n       **THE MUSIC: Also excited to have CHERYL & THE DOWN HOME BOYS providing music– a sweet acoustic blend of American roots music: old time country/ folk/blues and a bit of  bluegrass.  Cheryl Niemo‘s singing career began in her childhood home\, accompanying country songs on the radio.  Today those old country songs\, along with a mix of americana music form a large portion of her repertoire.  Her voice is beautiful and compelling\, and she knows how to deliver a song.  Pete Jonsson plays guitar and sings harmony.  He plays in different styles\, flat picking\, finger picking\, and slide guitar.  On occasion a harmonica will find its way to the microphone.  If it does\, it’s Pete’s fault.  Marty Brunkalla is a luthier by day and often a musician on evenings and weekends.  His mandolin and fiddle are a testament to his skill at his day job\, and his playing is exquisite\, weaving counter melodies through the songs.  Sometimes he joins in on a third harmony line. \nSeating is limited. Please buy your tickets ideally  by Friday so that we can plan for food preparation and seating.  That does not totally rule out reserving at a later time\, but it may sell out before that. The same staff has to shop\, cook\, clean\, etc\, so pre-planning is essential.\nJoin us to ring in the New Year with joy\, goodness and warmth\, and carry it through the upcoming year.
