Probably because of the crowded farm dinner table\, where books of poetry\, tapes of jazz\, blues\, rock n’ roll and traditional music\, guests of all kinds\, and even the occasional raptor being rehabbed all shared space. Some folks call this “folklife\,” and in Seth’s music it’s as likely to show up through a Casio SK-1 or a Gretsch electric as much as a fiddle or high harmony. \nIn recent years\, Bernard has launched the Clean Water Campaign for Michigan\, a social movement using storytelling and music to uplift the groundswell of support for water issues\, and Title Track\, a non-profit organization engaging creative practice to work for clean water\, racial equity\, and youth empowerment. \n“I know that the future of music is in good hands with people like Seth around to be its caretaker. More importantly\, I know the future of our world is in good hands.”– Greg Brown\, Folk Legend \n “This music not only swings\, rocks\, and grooves – it matters. It’s the voice of a real community\, with a sound and a message the world needs to hear.” – Bill McKibben\, Author\, environmentalist\, journalist \n “The argument for the most influential human in the Michigan music uprising of the past decade may begin and end with one Seth Bernard.” – Jack Clark\, Red House Concerts URL:https://cafecarpe.com/event/seth-bernard/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20240607T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20240607T220000 DTSTAMP:20260420T105601 CREATED:20240129T231350Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240524T214124Z UID:8587-1717790400-1717797600@cafecarpe.com SUMMARY:MARK STUART DESCRIPTION:Ticket link follows bio. \nMARK STUART spends every year as a full-time working artist and musician. Mostly performing his own unique shows\, doing singer-songwriter concerts\, he can be witnessed excelling as a band guitarist at hometown Nashville\, Tennessee gigs or sessions\, too. \nNotable artists such as Freddy Fender\, Steve Earle\, Joan Baez\, and Steve Forbert have employed him for his musicianship. In a duo act with his artist wife\, Stacey Earle\, he spent thousands of days on tour and released many albums on their own independent label\, Gearle Records. \nWhether it be Cambridge Folk Festival\, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno\, MTV\, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival\, Stan Rogers Folk Festival\, Telluride Bluegrass Festival\, Kerrville Folk Festival\, Merlefest\, or countless small festivals and theaters\, Stuart’s storytelling\, guitar playing\, vocals\, or songs have caught the attention of music lovers. \nWhen asked to define Mark Stuart’s music it is virtually impossible\, as his versatility screams out loud. Rock\, blues\, folk\, country\, and more are evident in his performance. Electric\, acoustic\, slide guitar-all make up his musical toolbox. Travis-style\, Chicago blues\, honky tonk country\, finger-style folk-all are there when you hear him. His songs are oftentimes autobiographic pieces\, but\, can be constructed from the viewpoint of a lifelong troubadour who is paying attention to the world he sees around him. He could\, at any given time\, toss a Paul McCartney or John Fogerty or Woodie Guthrie song into his set. \n\n \n \n \n \n  URL:https://cafecarpe.com/event/mark-stuart-2/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20240608T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20240608T220000 DTSTAMP:20260420T105601 CREATED:20240430T204127Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240522T175627Z UID:8804-1717876800-1717884000@cafecarpe.com SUMMARY:THE FLYING CHAUCERS DESCRIPTION:THE FLYING CHAUCERS  aka Daniel Connolly and Keralee Gueneviere — \nbegan auspiciously and explosively in 2013 when K stumbled upon D’s gig on a subzero night in a famous Chicago dive bar. With her face towards a Guinness and her back towards the band\, Keralee heard Daniel’s empyrean harmonies and delicatatious finger pluckings; then turned around to “face the music..” \nSince then\, in the great bardic tradition\, The Chaucers have sung together and separately to Kings & Queens\, commoners and communists\, miscreants and magistrates\, luminaries and lay-bouts\, the pretentious and the still-pretending in Chicago\, Mexico\, Colorado\, Minnesota\, Nashville\, Wisconsin and points beyond… \nAnd…. if you aren’t too darn careful they are going to come to your house and sing to you!
