SUMMARY:MATT SAYLES & the DRIFTLESS REVELERS
DESCRIPTION:Tickets:  $15  Please call 920-563-9391 to reserve seats and let us know if you are likely to eat here this night. \n“Scrappy string-based freak-folk\, featuring songs like ‘Meat Raffle Mambo\,’ ‘Wisconsin Saturday Nights’ and ‘Jesus Shaves’ that both revere and good-naturedly poke fun at state culture — [The Driftless Revelers] may remind listeners of Lou and Peter Berryman or even the old Free Hot Lunch! band.”  –Isthmus Magazine\, Madison\, WI \nTHE DRIFTLESS REVELERS formed in the second spring of the first global pandemic of the 21st century\, with one ear turned toward the shellac platters and Victrola virtuosos of the early to mid 20th century\, and the other ear glued to the soundscapes of the 1960’s & 1970’s American freak-folk scene. \n​Featuring the original songwriting of Ben Nelson\, Matthew R. Sayles\, and Jerod Kaszynski\, the Driftless Revelers will pleasure a crowd with plectral banjo tones\, the mournful wailing of resophonic steel guitars\, and the up-right bass bellows of an era that can’t quite be defined\, but revels in the timeless ephemera of weird old-time American music. \n​With influences as varied and eccentric as a proper musty smelling thrift store record collection\, the band grooves merrily through early roots blues and jazz music\, to hillbilly and string band howlers\, all the way into the not-quite folk but not-quite psychedelic realms of their own creation. \n​A Driftless Revelers show will lure you in with their joy–keep you dancing with their search for the cosmic groove in the confines of stringed instruments–and will send you on your way with flashbacks of the Driftless Revelery found only in the essence of the intangible reaches of notes once played– that then fall silent. \nPlease call 920-563-9391 to reserve seats.

SUMMARY:TRACY GRAMMER/ Wes Collins
DESCRIPTION:Looking forward to the return of two wonderful songwriters: Tracy\, who last played here in 2018\,  and Wes who came last year for a great evening with Ordinary Elephant and Rachael Kilgour.  Wes will open the show. Ticket link follows the bios. \nCalled “a musician and singer of dazzling versatility” (No Depression)\, TRACY GRAMMER is among contemporary folk music’s most beloved artists. Renowned for her pure voice\, deft guitar and violin work\, and incantatory storytelling\, Grammer has recorded and performed with Joan Baez and Mary Chapin Carpenter\, headlined several of the nation’s top folk festivals\, including  and Falcon Ridge\, and enjoyed 12 consecutive years as one of folk radio’s 50 top-played artists\, both solo and with the late Dave Carter.\n\n“One of the finest singers and musicians anywhere in folkdom.” – Boston Globe\n​”A brilliant artist” – Joan Baez\n“One of the most enduring\, irreplaceable voices in American folk music.” – Anti-Heroin Chic\n\nGrammer’s eleventh release\, LOW TIDE\, is the first of her albums to showcase her original songs. LOW TIDE was the ninth most-played album on folk radio in 2018 and was voted a Top 10 Album of the Year by Fish Records UK and Folk Alley.  The buzz on LOW TIDE: \n\n“Potent songcraft that reflects the tender and stubborn heart that got her here\, and a way with words and\nimages that … marks the beginning of a new path to glory. A bold and beautiful collection.” -coverlaydown.com\n“This is the voice of a songwriter who has made her peace with the past and who is ready — and\n​more than willing — to move forward.” – Folk Alley\n“A bold new sound\, attitude and personal viewpoint…. engaging songs beautifully sung and arranged.” – Music Matters Review\n\nWES COLLINS will start the show. At age 44\, Wes 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.\n\nHe 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.\n\n“His skill with the guitar makes the most of his imaginative arrangements and nuanced control of cadence and phrasing\, underscoring the subtlety and bite of his lyrics. He credits many other singer/songwriters in his musical tent as inspiration\, including Neil Finn\, Gillian Welch\, Bruce Cockburn\, and Patty Griffin\, but Collins is well on his way to establishing his own voice as one we should value.”— North Carolina Arts Council

SUMMARY:LONESOME BILL CAMPLIN
DESCRIPTION:Please call 920-563-9391 to reserve seats and let us know if  you will be dining here. \nHe will not appear in his birthday suit despite the day.  I just learned this about Bill – \n“Bill is a singer/songwriter and acoustic guitarist\, playing professionally in the Milwaukee area since the late 1960s. Bill writes and arranges his own material and has produced a considerable body of work. Bill has been an integral part of the Milwaukee acoustic folk scene for many years.” and this \n“Bill Camplin works with a group of 40 scientists working on contaminants and nutrients in the marine environment. He has more than twenty years experience …” and this \n“Bill is a strong guitarist as well as a skilled singer with a beautiful tenor voice and great range. He is noted for penetrating\, intensely emotional performances of both his original songs and his interpretations of others such as Bob Dylan.” \nWill the real Bill Camplin please stand up?

SUMMARY:KAREN JOHNSON
DESCRIPTION:Please call 920-563-9391 to reserve seats and to indicate whether or not you will dine here that night. \nKAREN JOHNSON grew up in West Allis\, WI\, surrounded by music.  Her favorite spot was riding along in her dad’s old pick-up truck while listening to old country tunes.  At a young age\, Karen learned to play the Tamburitza and sing harmony as a member of the American Croatian Silver Strings Tamburitzans. Now playing the guitar\, she has been performing at various venues since 1998\,  but loves playing in the Carpe’s listening room. \nKaren sings songs of her favorite artists including Joan Baez\, Nanci Griffith\,  Alison Krauss\, and Suzy Bogguss\, to name a few. \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dclx2nwDJNY \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6pYX8uK25o \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1z6AN79G3TE

SUMMARY:WHITNEY MANN/ Paul Otteson SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:Ticket link follows bios.   \nAs a girl\, WHITNEY MANN dreamed of a life in Country music. “I daydreamed all day\, every day\, of singing songs that I wrote in front of thousands of people\,” she says. At the age of four\, she began writing her own songs\, and two decades later she realized her version of success by opening shows for legends like Willie Nelson\, George Jones\, and Loretta Lynn on big country stages and in theaters throughout the Midwest. \nWhitney put down her guitar to raise a family. But songwriting is in her bones. It’s an itch that will perpetually need to be scratched. Her old songs are about love and truth and heartbreak. And to listen to her new material\, you’ll realize that she’s stayed true to form – except now she’s looking for a fight. \nWhitney’s friend PAUL OTTESON is a Madison-based songwriter who delivers literary inspired\, artfully crafted songs in an intimate chamber folk style. Front man of the band Faux Fawn\, Otteson is a tireless creator; having released several solo and full band albums over the past 10 years to great acclaim. After a multi-year hiatus\, he returns with ballads to question the cruelty and loss of this age we live in; with hope-filled melodies to warm the heart and poetic verse to soothe the soul. He will do an opening set.
