SUMMARY:LONG MAMA/ JASON DEA WEST
DESCRIPTION:Ticket link will follow the bios. \nLONG MAMA \nLong Mama’s music blisters with the heart and grit of someone who has lost hard\, loved harder\, and licked her burns until they stung then silvered. In a drafty attic just west of the Milwaukee River she grew up on\, you’ll find songwriter KAT WODTKE (Wood-key) raking through notebooks in search of a salve: words\, stories\, and sounds to temper the dumpster fires we never mean to light. \nKAT teams up with guitarist ANDREW KOENIG and drummer NICK LANG\, a pair whose chemistry adds dusky afterglow to Wodtke’s musical landscapes\, as well as upright bass ace SAM ODIN from Horsehoes and Hand Grenades. \n​Poor Pretender\, Long Mama’s debut album released October 2022\, embraces a rich spectrum of light and shadow\, heat and cold. The ten-song collection’s palette of country\, folk\, indie rock\, and punk reflects its makers’ coming-of-age in the rustbelt crossroads of north\, south\, east\, & west. Engineered by Erik Koskinen and recorded live over a long\, snowy weekend in Cleveland\, Minnesota\, the record showcases the band’s particular ability to conjure the beautiful in the broken\, the silver in the ore. \nJASON DEA WEST American poet\, songwriter and troubadour  (Folk\, country\, western\, traditional and alternative)  will start the show. He is an American troubadour who sings what he lives and lives what he sings. West’s poignant lyrics are brilliantly blended with vintage country\, folk and blues\, and timely sensibilities. From epic guitar and harmonica instrumentals to humorous song as story\, Jason never strays very far from the anarchic punk-folk roots of his beloved former band Barefoot Surrender and his celebrated current band Intuitive Compass.

SUMMARY:GRACE MORRISON & RADOSLAV LORKOVIC
DESCRIPTION:Ticket link is below the bios. \nGrace & Rad got together at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival\, where she was performing and he was in the house band. They decided they should do a midwest tour together\, and here they come. \nGRACE MORRISON\n“Her voice smacks of Jewel\, and her style\, cadence\, song structure is every inch from the school of Joan Osborne\, Lisa Loeb\, Natalie Merchant. It’s uncanny.” Lauren Daley Boston Globe \n“Pure Country Rock ‘n Roll Goodness”- Americana Highways \nMorrison has won a number of prestigious awards including the Grand Prize of the New England Songwriting Competition and the WPRI Rhode Show Big Break contest – where her music video was played on the season finale of American Idol. In 2019\, Grace was selected to be an Official Showcase performer at the Southeast Regional Folk Alliance (TN) and the Southwest Regional Folk Alliance (TX). Also\, she was named a finalist in the Wildflower (TX) Festival performing singer-songwriter contest. Later\, she was selected to perform in the Emerging Artist Showcase at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival (NY). Her sophomore solo album\, Reasons\, debuted at #2 on the Roots Music Report’s Top 50 Contemporary Country Airplay Chart. With Daughter now added to her calling card\, Morrison is sure to rack up more accolades. But she’s happy to have finally reached a point of self-acceptance\, regardless of what may come. \nDrawing from a multitude of influences ranging from elegant classical and jazz styles to the rawest\, most basic blues\, country and soul\, RADOSLAV LORKOVIC has taken on an unusually broad musical spectrum and refined it into his distinctive piano style. His tenure on the R&B and folk circuits has culminated in five critically acclaimed solo recordings and numerous appearances on the recordings of and performances with artists including Odetta\, Jimmy LaFave\, Ribbon of Highway Woody Guthrie Tribute\, Greg Brown\, Richard Shindell\, Ellis Paul\, Ronny Cox\, Dave Moore\, Andy White\, and Bo Ramsey. His thirty year touring career has led him from the taverns of the upper Mississippi River to the castles of Italy\, The Canary Islands\, The Yup’ik villages of Alaska\, The Kennedy Center and Carnegie Hall. \nBorn in Zagreb\, Croatia in 1958\, Lorković’s initial exposure to music can be attributed to two grandmothers. Antonija\, his maternal Grandmother\, sang him Croatian\, Slovenian and Czech folk songs since birth. At age one he was reported to be singing back on pitch. By age three he was putting on floor shows for his grandfather and friends who would respond by showering him with coins yelling “pivaj Radoslav pivaj!” During this time classical music played in the home constantly due to the influence of his paternal grandmother Melita Lorković\, a internationally renown classical pianist. After this blend of central European musical influences Radoslav moved to the United States at age six. He had a foothold on a classical music career when at age fourteen he was sidetracked by a blues scale that a friend had taught him.

SUMMARY:THE BOSTON IMPOSTERS
DESCRIPTION:Please call 920-563-9391 to reserve seats\, and indicate whether you are likely to dine here that evening. \n“Hearkening back to the traditional folk duos of the 1950s and 1960s\, The Boston Imposters represent the genre at its most pure: two capable voices\, supported by sparse-yet-effective instrumentation\, working together to earnestly share stories anyone can relate to.” – Elena See\, FolkAlley.com \nTHE BOSTON IMPOSTERS are a husband-wife singer-songwriter duo based in Southeast Wisconsin. Davey Harrison and Maire (pronounced like Mary) Clement began collaborating many years prior\, but their duo was officially founded during their time living as Midwestern Impostors in Boston.

SUMMARY:SISTASTRINGS/ Evan Lane
DESCRIPTION:SISTASTRINGS.  Need I say more?.  They are so sizzlin’  we had to add this extra show. Ticket link after the bio. \nCHAUNTEE ROSS (violin & vocals) & MONIQUE ROSS (cello and vocals) said they wanted to play here again. We thought about it for a while\, and said yes\, just because they are the bomb diggity. \nMilwaukee bred sisters\, Monique and Chauntee Ross\, spent their entire music education not quite fitting any particular mold. Raised by two ministers\, enrolled in conservatory at young ages\, Monique and Chauntee embraced what made them different. Their art is meant to reflect their varying musical interests in a way that draws the listener in. Music becomes a journey and SistaStrings invites you to find your path. \nCollaboration has been at the forefront of SistaStrings’ art. The sisters grew up playing their instruments in the church which is where their love of harmonies and improvisation was cultivated. Their entire childhood was immersed in music and making music with their peers in many different settings. It wasn’t until 2014 when both Monique and Chauntee moved back to their hometown\, Milwaukee\, WI when they began this project. They began exploring their sound as SistaStrings and collaborating with a variety of Milwaukee artist and found a strong creative community. \nDuring their “discovery phase”\, SistaStrings met and began to collaborate with fellow Milwaukeean Peter Mulvey. They’ve recorded two albums together\, one of which is being released in 2022. 2021 opened a new chapter for the duo as they relocated to Nashville. They quickly found a sisterhood with Allison Russell and became family and collaborators. They are members of The Rainbow Coalition of the Loving\, Russell’s touring band. Monique and Chauntee can also be found touring with Brandi Carlile Spring/Summer 2022. It’s no coincidence that collaboration is a strong point for the sisters. They believe that music and the arts reflect life and use their music to create opportunity for others and promote love and acceptance. \nFriend Evan Lane will open for them. Evan was born and raised in Milwaukee\, Wisconsin. A true ‘Midwestern-er.’ He began his classical training in 4th grade\, 1999. Before that his first gig was singing with his school choir at age 6 at a Starbucks for the Holidays. Evan spent some time living in East Troy\, WI.\, where he wrote every song off his newly released ep\, ‘Etude.’ He moved back to Milwaukee in 2016 and has been hard at work taking gigs and spending every minute possible recording his ep. Known for his smooth vocals and beautiful singer-songwriter\, pop styled music.

SUMMARY:JOHN SIEGER/ DANDY L. FRELING/ BILL CAMPLIN
DESCRIPTION:Please call 920-563-9391 to reserve seats\, and to indicate whether you are likely to eat here that night. \nThis will be a great song swap with three Milwaukee ish songwriters\, since Bill was once one. In these swaps\, each one inspires the next and it makes for a really fun evening. \nSongwriter\, singer and guitarist John Sieger has a long resume. His band the R&B Cadets ruled the dance floors in Milwaukee in the 1980s\, playing a mix of his originals and obscure soul tunes unearthed by bandmates Paul Cebar and Robin Pluer. Their debut\, “Top Happy\,” for Twin/Tone Records\, turned out to be their finale. In the late 80’s his band Semi-Twang recorded for Warner Brothers Records. Both bands have regrouped in recent years and since then\, Semi-Twang has released three more collections of his songs\, most recently and ode to his hometown\, “Kenosha.” \nOther Sieger songs have been covered by a long list of great artists including Dwight Yoakam (Don’t Need It Done)\, Jerry Harrison of Talking Heads (Rev It Up)\, The Bodeans (The Strangest Kind)\, Flaco Jimenez (I Found Out)\, Robbie Fulks (You Break It – You Pay)\, Phil Lee (I Hope Love Always Knows Your Name\, Neon Tombstone) and Greg Trooper (My Bluebell\, Real Like That and others). Recorded but still waiting to be released\, is a version of “Salty Tears\,” sung by Etta James. \n“Sieger on Songs\,” his column at UrbanMilwaukee.com\, is John’s ongoing love letter to the music he digs. \nDANDY FRELING   \nCombining a touch of the high and lonesome hollers of the Appalachian hill people with the low-down\, dusty grooves of the cosmic cowboys\, Dandy has created a unique sonic banquet sure to satisfy the hunger of any weary passerby. \nand then there’s BILL CAMPLIN- I just googled him and found it rather interesting. The bittersweetest surprise was coming across the obituary of a formerly regular customer which contained the following: \n“He wished to thank Townes Van Zandt\, Emmylou Harris and Bill Camplin for their music he so enjoyed in his later years.”

SUMMARY:MICHAEL GULEZIAN
DESCRIPTION:Ticket link is below the bio. \nAlthough there are many guitarists who are exceptionally gifted at playing guitar\, MICHAEL GULEZIAN (gu-LAY-ze-in)\, by contrast\, has distinguished himself with his music – boundary-free\, horizon-expanding\, genre-bending\, transcendent\, soulful\, kickass\, mind-opening\, emotionally imbued\, exquisitely gorgeous instrumental solo acoustic guitar music. Music that quite literally defies description. \nFor more than three decades\, Michael has unpretentiously walked onstage and delivered one riveting performance after another. Each one of Michael’s albums has raised the aesthetic of contemporary solo acoustic guitar to a new level. He’s been called the musical link between John Fahey and Michael Hedges. Artists as diverse as Michael Hedges\, Willy Porter\, and Henry Kaiser have claimed him as a primary musical influence. Young lions such as Erik Mongrain\, Andy McKee\, and Trevor Gordon Hall are quick to acknowledge him as an inspiration. For those who follow solo acoustic instrumental guitar\, Michael Gulezian is firmly established in the genre as one of the most significant artists of our time. \n“… infused with devotion to music’s power … Gulezian’s solo guitar work is inventive and complex; he melds rhythm\, melody and harmony using just one instrument and 10 fingers. The trick is making such music something more than a mere exercise in technique\, and in this concert from Minnesota’s St. Olaf College\, Gulezian clears that hurdle with room to spare.” The Aspen Times \n“Michael Gulezian doesn’t write tunes you can take away and hum. What I experience listening to his music is stories – not stories with words\, but an exquisite web of tales that only notes can tell. … the CD also contains video of the concert – it’s just amazing to watch him perform.” Bob Boilen\, Director\, All Things Considered\, NPR
