The live performance is an experimental and emotional ride teeming with whimsicality\, clever arrangements – interrupted by triumphant tangents – and outlandish solos grounded by George’s emotive and gauzy voice and by the simple strength of a good song.  Expect an engaging and dynamic string of gentle and not so gentle folk-rock adventures. \n“Weirdly beautiful with a gorgeous voice.” ~ The Current (MPR) \n“Ian George is a fanciful folk troubadour with a rhythmic flow and spirited vision. He’s an American Matt Corby; a heartwarming blend of Iron & Wine’s folk and Vampire Weekend’s frisky energy. George’s music is the type to which one would ascribe words like frolic and wandering\, but his songs are equally intimate and emotional… Worthy of everyone’s ears\, songs we can teach our children\, our parents\, our grandparents\, and ourselves.” ~ Atwood Magazine \n“Poetic\, lush\, and cautious songs that will resonate with anyone in transition. Despite the eight tunes defying comparison\, each song here is a treasure.” ~ New Noise Magazine \n“tolkien-like ramblings and adventurous instrumentation; weirdly inviting.” ~ Maverick Magazine \nIan George will perform as: \n\nPatrick Horigan – electric guitar\nReese Kling – drums\nIan George – acoustic guitar\, vocal URL:https://cafecarpe.com/event/ian-george/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20231103T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20231103T220000 DTSTAMP:20260826T080526 CREATED:20230713T034041Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231025T042821Z UID:8049-1699041600-1699048800@cafecarpe.com SUMMARY:JAMES LEE STANLEY DESCRIPTION:Buy tickets below: bio follows ticket link. \n\n \n \n \n \nJAMES LEE STANLEY is an American singer\, songwriter\, musician\, composer\, and producer whose six-decade career spans numerous artistic mediums. He is the true renaissance man\, born in Philadelphia\, PA\, and has been recording and performing since the age of fourteen\, with 34 album releases and television and film credits to his name. \nHe has toured consistently since he returned from the USAF (as a Chinese linguist) and has performed up to three hundred dates a year since then\, with such diverse acts as BONNIE RAITT\, ROBIN WILLIAMS\, NICOLETTE LARSON and even STEPHEN STILLS. STEVEN WRIGHT chose James Lee as his opening act for three years in a row; a testament to his professionalism and talent. \n“So where have they been hiding James Lee Stanley? We could say that James Lee Stanley is probably the last great undiscovered singer-songwriter in America. But true as that may be let’s say something else\, let’s say that a diamond has been smuggled into the wasteland … and here is where the wasteland ends” – Tom Robbins\, Author of Even Cowgirls Get the Blues \n“It is simple\, really. With James Lee you get great songs\, great guitar playing\, great voice and a gifted comedian as well. You are in for a very entertaining evening.” Village Voice \n  URL:https://cafecarpe.com/event/james-lee-stanley-11/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20231104T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20231104T220000 DTSTAMP:20260826T080526 CREATED:20230818T035135Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231016T012354Z UID:8180-1699128000-1699135200@cafecarpe.com SUMMARY:MARK DVORAK/ JIM CRAIG/ BILL CAMPLIN DESCRIPTION:A lovely in-the-round song swap with JIM CRAIG  MARK DVORAK and BILL CAMPLIN should make for a fantastic evening of music and camaraderie. Bios follow ticket link. \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\nJIM came of age during the folk boom\, “listening to Pete Seeger and Dave Van Ronk\, but also more obscure musicians like Dock Boggs and Pink Anderson\, folks who were off the map but were rediscovered in the early ’60s.” He was a regular at the Green Dragon Inn\,  where we came to know and love him for his understated warm grace. Jim has guitar chops and a beautiful baritone voice\, and an interesting repertoire of songs. \nHe taught guitar at the Old Town School of Folk Music\, jammed with figures in the Chicago folk scene such as Eddie Holstein and Steve Goodman. He is the owner of Hogeye Music in Evanston. He is a gentleman. \n\nMARK DVORAK is a modern day troubadour who has never stopped performing\, writing and recording. He has been called “a folk singer’s folk singer” with “an encyclopedic knowledge of traditional songs.” His original songs are described as “wondrous” and “profound.” Though Mark often appears in theaters and on festival stages\, he is also at home in a more intimate setting. His concerts are a mix of the familiar and the new\, traditional folk and standards from the American songbook. He plays authentic country blues guitar and picks great old-time banjo. \nMark enjoys involving his audiences in sing-along songs\, just like The Weavers used to do\, and mixes in his own well-crafted and infectious originals. Mark has a refreshing\, down-to-earth stage presence\, and is a very engaging performer. He sings with a clear\, signature voice\, and he likes to joke around with the folks who attend his shows. Throughout the program he’ll interject personal anecdotes and add a touch of history or social context to the performance. \n“Masterful” Chicago Tribune \n“The real deal. His show is funny\, passionate\, intimate & unforgettable” Old Town School of Folk Music \n“One of a vanishing breed. Although all of us benefit from the tradition\, Dvorak is one of the few who keep it alive.” Utah Phillips \nAnd then there’s BILL CAMPLIN\, who can sing and play guitar too. Amazing \nDid I mention this will be a really fun in-the-round?

Then\, barely out of high school\, she took off for New York City. There she found a fertile community of songwriters and performers—Suzanne Vega\, Steve Forbert\, The Roches\, and others. With a beautiful flair for harmony\, Lucy was everyone’s favorite singing partner\, but most often she found herself singing as a duo with Shawn Colvin. People envisioned big things for them; in fact\, The New York Times said it was “easy to predict stardom for her.” But then Lucy dropped it all. \nConvinced that her calling was in another direction\, Lucy left the musical fast track to pursue a doctorate in Clinical Psychology. Upon completing her degree\, Dr. Kaplansky took a job at a New York hospital working with chronically mentally ill adults\, and also started a private practice. Yet she continued to sing. Lucy was often pulled back into the studio by her friends\, (who now had contracts with record labels) wanting her to sing on their albums. She harmonized on Colvin’s Grammy-winning “Steady On\,” and on Nanci Griffith’s “Lone Star State of Mind” and “Little Love Affairs.” She also landed soundtrack credits\, singing with Suzanne Vega on “Pretty in Pink” and with Griffith on “The Firm\,” and several commercial credits as well—including “The Heartbeat of America” for Chevrolet. \nThen Shawn Colvin—who was itching to produce a record—hooked up with Lucy\, her ex-singing partner. They went into the studio\, and when Lucy’s solo tapes got into the hands of Bob Feldman\, president of Red House Records\, he was blown away. Suddenly\, Lucy was back in the music business. She signed with Red House Records and started playing gigs. Red House released The Tide in 1994 to rave reviews\, and within six months Lucy signed with a major booking agency—Fleming Artists—and began touring so much it required leaving her two psychologist positions behind. \nLucy’s second album\, Flesh and Bone (1996)\, emphasized her development as a gifted songsmith. Then Lucy’s success took flight with back-to-back hit albums Ten Year Night (1999) and Every Single Day (2001).  Both received the AFIM award (Association For Independent Music) for Best Pop Album of the year. Lucy also contributed her story to a unique book\, SOLO: Women Singer- Songwriters in Their Own Words\, which includes some of the best known women on the music scene today: Ani DiFranco\, Shawn Colvin\, Sheryl Crow\, Jewel\, Sarah McLachlan and others. She was also featured in Lipshtick\, a collection of essays by NPR commentator Gwen Macsai\, published in the fall of 1999. \nIn 1998 Lucy teamed with Dar Williams and Richard Shindell to form supergroup Cry Cry Cry\, and recorded some of their favorite songs written by other artists. The resulting album\, Cry Cry Cry (which The New Yorker dubbed “a collection of lovely harmonizing and pure emotion\,” and to which Entertainment Weekly gave an “A” rating)\, was an astonishing success in stores and on radio. A national tour of sold-out concerts by the trio served to introduce Lucy’s luminous voice to a new audience. In 2017 and 2018\, the trio celebrated their 20th anniversary with a sold out national tour and the release of their first recording in 20 years\, a single of Jump Little Children’s “Cathedrals.” \nThe Red Thread followed the commercial and critical hit Every Single Day\, weaving together themes of motherhood\, home and the family with stunning production.  Lucy’s 2007 release Over the Hills as well as her 2012 release Reunion explored universal themes of love\, joy\, loss\, and dreams for the future\, through reflections on family. \nIn 2009 and 2010 Lucy had two songs commissioned by the international cosmetics company La Prairie to help launch their new fragrance line “Life Threads.” As part of that marketing campaign\, Lucy was featured in a music video\, as well in as in a variety of marketing appearances and materials\, including a feature story in “Women’s Wear Daily.” \nIn 2010 Lucy joined up with acclaimed singer-songwriters John Gorka and Eliza Gilkyson to record an album as part of new folk super-group Red Horse.  Awash in gorgeous harmonies and stripped down production\, the album features the singers performing each other’s songs.  Red Horse received rave reviews and was the number one album on Folk Radio for several months in 2010.  Since the album’s release\, the trio were interviewed on NPR’s “Weekend Edition” with Liane Hansen and appeared on NPR’s “Mountain Stage.” \nIn 2011 Lucy released an EP\, Kaplansky Sings Kaplansky\, featuring songs written by her father\, famed University of Chicago mathematician Irving Kaplansky\, including live performances of the two of them performing together in California.  This is Lucy’s first venture into 1940’s style swing\, reminiscent of the work of Kaplansky’s former student Tom Lehrer. \nLucy’s September 2018 release\, Everyday Street\,  is a stunning collection of songs weaving stories of joy\, friendship\, family\, loss and discovery.  It is somewhat of a departure sonically:  stripped down\, spontaneous\, acoustic\, with the feel of one of her concerts. The songs were recorded over four days with her long-time collaborator Duke Levine on acoustic guitar\, electric guitar\, mandola\, National guitar\, and octave mandolin\, and Lucy on acoustic guitar\, mandolin and piano.  These are genuine performances\, many were captured in one take. \nThe opening song\, “Old Friends\,” a duet with Lucy’s long-time friend Shawn Colvin\, is a reflection on their friendship and on their times together in the early days of the Greenwich Village folk scene.  “Keeping Time\,” with Richard Shindell on harmony\, is from her vantage point as a mother sharing her neighborhood’s rhythms\, albeit from a distance\, with the late actor and father of three Philip Seymour Hoffman.  “Janie’s Waltz” is about the beauty and grace of an ordinary day. The everyday streets of her long-time home\, Greenwich Village in New York City\, are woven throughout the recording. There are also four cover songs which have all been fan favorites from her shows\, including Bruce Springsteen’s “Thunder Road\,” Nanci Griffith’s “I Wish it Would Rain\,” and the traditional Scottish song “Loch Lomond.”  Finally\, there is a re-imagined version of the title song of her first album\, The Tide. \nLucy’s version of Roxy Music’s “More than This” was featured on a Spotify playlist\, “Your Favorite Coffeehouse\,” and to date her recording has over 11.5 million streams.  She has appeared on the CBS Morning Show\, NPR’s Weekend and Morning Editions and All Things Considered\, Mountain Stage\, and West Coast Live.  Her voice has remained in high demand by her peers. Lucy’s song “Guilty as Sin” was featured in the NBC television show Ed.  In addition\, she can be heard on releases by Bryan Ferry and Nanci Griffith\, and on the Greg Brown tribute album Going Driftless (also featuring Ani Difranco\, Iris Dement\, Mary Chapin Carpenter\, Gillian Welch\, Lucinda Williams and others). \nLucy continues to tour and receive airplay both nationally and internationally.  Her CD Ten Year Night is the #1 selling album of all time at Red House Records.

This date was moved from its original date on November 19 so that ERIK KOSKINEN could join in the fun. Jeremy will open for Erik.  Both have played extensively with local hero Jeffrey Foucault. \n\n \n \n \n \nA blend of American folk\, country\, rock-n-roll\, and blues\, ERIK KOSKINEN realizes a sound that is distinctive and fresh while familiar and classic. Erik has recently released Burning The Deal on Real Phonic Records/Tone Tree Music. The “Big Plane” video clip features Amelia Fleetwood (daughter of Mick) and the track is out now. \nKoskinen’s albums are a lyrical and musical metaphor of America’s theaters of war\, history\, relationships\, and reflections in the mirror. Burning The Deal was produced by Koskinen and Bernie Larsen (Melissa Etheridge\, Jackson Browne) and recorded by Jason Mariani (Mumford & Sons\, Kenny Loggins) at Brotheryn Studios in Ojai\, California. \nKnowing but not didactic\, Koskinen channels the ways of Whitman and reverently enters the anthology of uniquely crafted wry songs with the likes of Woody Guthrie and Ry Cooder while speaking as plainly as your neighbor. The Minneapolis Star Tribune calls Koskinen “the real deal” and “the best country songwriter in Minnesota.” \nJEREMY MOSES CURTIS will be accompanied by Mike Castellana\, a fabulous guitar player and steel player as well. Bios below ticket link- \n“Midlife Chrysler is the kind of record it takes a lifetime of music to make: wry and wise\, heavy and light\, simple in the best ways\, with an uncanny turn of phrase and a bone-deep pocket… I hear Tweedy in the magpie eclecticism\, Prine in the strangeness that lands\, Bobby Charles in the patient groove. American music is starving. This is a banquet.”– Jeffrey Foucault \nMoses says: (a lot more than this on his webpage) \n“In 2005 I cut a record of my own songs under my own name with the late great Billy Conway (Treat Her Right\, Morphine) producing. I toured it here and there\, but I was too busy working as a sideman and with other projects to give it much attention. In the spring of 2022 I found myself with a pile of songs and I asked Kris Delmhorst – an old friend and tour companion\, and a musician I admire – to help shepherd them into the world. Observations\, reflections\, opinions\, and love letters to the times I’ve traveled through and the people I’ve loved\, Midlife Chrysler drills down through two and a half decades on the road\, the tension between here and gone\, love and motion\, music and silence\, work and calling in a country where the exceptions make all the rules\, and where everything feels like a racket\, except music. The big mystery\, the one that still brings people together.” URL:https://cafecarpe.com/event/jeremy-moses-curtis-erik-koskinen/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20231116T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20231116T213000 DTSTAMP:20260826T080526 CREATED:20230417T025415Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230902T220904Z UID:7877-1700163000-1700170200@cafecarpe.com SUMMARY:THE VON CARPE FAMILY SINGERS DESCRIPTION:“You have two families in this life\, one that you’re born into and one that you choose.” \nThe Von Carpe Family Singers are such a mix\, comprised of partners Karen Reinhardt and Jim Marousis\, grandson Camdyn James\, daughter Laura Christianson\, daughter-in-law Stephanie Kracht Kilkenny\, sister Lisa Reinhardt\, and brother Eric Reinhardt . \nFor this occasion\, they have also enlisted family members Ruthie and Leon McQuinn (Krause Family Band and Slip Jig) and Brian Looper Lucas (Brothers Quinn and the Organ Grinders)\, as well as Skip Armstrong (FOMA and Lovestrong Jammers). \nAll ticket proceeds will be donated to the Fort Atkinson Homeless Coalition. \nIt promises to be an interesting evening.
