SUMMARY:PAUL CEBAR/ JOHN STANO- SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:Go to the ticket link below if you want to add yourself to the waiting list. \nSUPER BROTHER-IN-LAW TAG-OFF as PAUL CEBAR and JOHN STANO cast their songs back and forth. \n\n      \n        \n      \n    \nSinger/songwriter JOHN STANO’s sound is a distinctive blend of acoustic and slide guitar\, stellar rack harmonica\, expressive vocals and insightful songwriting developed over many years of performance and study. He sometimes adds a little mandolin\, cigar box guitar or banjo to the mix as well. His style can be described as a combination of Folk\, Americana and Country Blues. Initially self-taught\, John went on to study American fingerstyle guitar at the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music and harmonica with national blues legend\, Jim Liban. \nPAUL CEBAR’s “voice has warmed Milwaukee’s ears while on stage and on the airwaves at WMSE\, where he regularly hosts a Wednesday morning show featuring an eclectic\, all-vinyl mix. His bands The Milwaukeeans and Tomorrow Sound — as well as his earliest project\, The R&B Cadets — have garnered plenty of well-earned attention. \nHe’s worked with notable musicians like John and Mike Sieger\, Willy Porter\, Robyn Pluer\, Peter Mulvey\, Juli Wood\, Mike Fredrickson\, Reggie Bordeaux and Bob Schneider\, serving up soulful sounds infused with worldly appeal. ” \n“Paul Cebar is a masterful synthesist of rhythmic culture.”

SUMMARY:SARAH MORRIS/ KELLEY SMITH
DESCRIPTION:A special evening shared by 2 Minnesota songwriters: ticket link follows bios. \nSARAH MORRIS ‘s endearingly honest\, expertly penned songs encourage audiences to pull away from the big picture and get caught up in the magic of our everyday minutia\, the rainy day ache in her sunlit voice granting us permission to escape into stories at once hauntingly familiar and uniquely her own. \nIn 2016\, Sarah was a top four finalist in the NewSong Music Contest at Lincoln Center in New York City\, 2nd place winner of the Chris Austin Songwriting Competition at MerleFest in Wilkesboro\, NC\, and an Americana semi-finalist in the International Songwriting Competition. In 2018\, she went on to win the Kerrville New Folk Competition\, collecting an honorable mention at the Telluride Troubadour contest along the way.  More recently\, Sarah was named Midwest Country Music Organization’s Songwriter of the Year for the third time. \nIn 2023\, Sarah released her 5th album of originals\, ‘Here’s To You’\, which was recently awarded ‘Album of the Year’ by the Midwest Country Music Organization. \nProduced by Dave Mehling\, Dave Franklin of The Big Takeover said of Here’s To You\, \n“It’s a triumph. An album of space and restraint\, any note played\, every word uttered feels perfectly and purposely placed. The album is a beautiful blend of groove and grace\, intimacy and entertainment\, fun\, and feeling. What more could you ask for? What indeed?” \n“Rootsy singer Sarah Morris offers a Norah Jones-like approach to Americana\, smoothing overs its rough edges with a butter-velvety voice and an intimate songwriting style.”  Chris Riemenschneider\, Star Tribune. \nInclined toward the intimacy of live performance\, Sarah spends a remarkable amount of time on stage. \nDeeply committed to the Twin Cities’ life-giving music community\, Morris hosted an online interview program called\, “Hey\, I Miss You\,” to amplify the work of her peers\, and currently can be found online collaborating with musicians for a Youtube series of under-rehearsed cover songs filmed in her laurel green bathroom. \nAs a writer\, lover\, mother\, and witness\, Morris invites us to join her in missing the forest for the trees\, with songs that count and celebrate the glorious details of our messy\, magical\, everyday lives. \nFolksinger-songwriter KELLEY SMITH is a hopeless romantic who fancies old poetry and grandpa sweaters. All at once whimsical and haunting\, Smith delivers deeply affecting lyrics with wry charm and a time traveler’s voice. Prone to melancholy and daydreaming\, Kelley spent her childhood roaming the woods of Minnesota and singing to forest animals. To this day\, her longing for that landscape runs deep and seems to find its way into her songs in one way or another. \nRaised by musicians\, Smith always had music in her bones\, but it wasn’t until she was 40 and a mother of four that her first record\, Moon Child (2022)\, came to be. As an insomniac\, she wrote this first batch of songs by moonlight. They evoke a sense of belonging\, juxtaposed with escapism\, as she croons about long-term love\, grief\, and her draw to the night sky. ”Her authentic\, rootsy sound\, falling somewhere between country\, folk\, bluegrass and old-time music\, is a pitch-perfect vehicle for the themes she explores…” – Adventures in Americana \nSince 2022\, Kelley has been honored to share stages with folks such as Charlie Parr\, Kelly Hunt\, Wild Horses\, Dave Simonett\, Alan Sparhawk\, Stephen Wilson Jr.\, The Weary Ramblers\, and Drew Peterson. Most often performing solo or as a duo\, Smith interprets old folk songs on guitar and banjo\, in addition to her original music. \n“Her ability to close the distance from the stage to your ears\, while portioning out strong emotions\, keeps you constantly leaning in more and more.” – Smouse In The House \n”[Smith] has been making waves in the local folk and Americana scene. Her rustic sound\, combined with relatable gut-punchy lyrics has been resonating with audiences up north and beyond.” – Southern Minn Scene \n”…armed only with her guitar and a spine-tingling voice\, you couldn’t tell she’s only been at this a couple years. Smith transported the room into a realm of enchantment both beautiful and sorrowful. With deeply affecting lyrics and haunting melodies\, Smith shared stories we could all relate to. Her solo acoustic set created an atmosphere of intimacy and vulnerability\, allowing the audience to connect on a deep and personal level..” – Adventures in Americana

SUMMARY:CHIP DUNCAN & WILLY PORTER- SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:Be sure to sign up for the waiting list at the ticket portal- sometimes the chances are good. \nA wonderful evening with poetry and short story reading followed by a musical performance. \nWisconsinites may know CHIP DUNCAN as a documentary filmmaker and photojournalist who has traveled throughout the world or\, in the wayback times\, as a musician. Duncan’s recent books of poetry and short stories will bring him to the live stage to share a few tales from the dark\, the light\, and the in between. \nWILLY PORTER‘s  journey has been defined by an inquisitive love for humanity and the language that describes what we all hold to be true. Porter’s songs weave a universal perspective about the questions\, struggles\, and triumphs of human existence. His live shows are guitar-driven grit\, soul\, silence and muscle– at times electrifying\, dynamic\, and unique in the way that Porter’s voice blends and fuses with his fret work. \nTickets will raise to $35 day of show.

SUMMARY:MY POLITIC
DESCRIPTION:Always happy when Kaston reaches out to ask if they can play here again- check out this duo. \nMY POLITIC is a Folk/Americana duo consisting of Kaston Guffey and Nick Pankey\, who grew up together in Ozark MO and started My Politic around the age of 15. Kaston writes character driven story songs and Nick adds sibling-like harmony to create a unique sound that is totally their own. \nMore bio follows ticket link: \n\n      \n        \n      \n    \nShort-Sighted People in Power “They are inspired\, brave and brilliant songs\, remarkably comprehensive but never preachy or ponderous. It’s perfect for this American moment. Rendered tenderly with close harmonies throughout\, it evoked the sound of Don Henley and Glenn Frey singing Randy Newman songs. It’s subversive\, but also soulfully charming.” – Paul Zollo – American Songwriter \nInspired by artists like John Prine\, Woody Guthrie\, Randy Newman\, Bob Dylan\, Patty Griffin\, Nina Simone\, Simon & Garfunkel classic country and so much else\, My Politic has recorded 9 albums to date and have released 3 of those since moving to Nashville 7 years ago: “Anchor” (2015) “12 Kinds of Lost” (2017) and “Short-Sighted People In Power” (released 10/30/2020)\, which is a collection of songs written and recorded between March and August of 2020 hyper-focused on politics & current affairs. The album has been featured 3 times in American Songwriter. \nTheir latest is Missouri Folklore: Songs and Stories from Home. As Guffey says\, “There are songs about judgment\, existentialism\, forgiveness\, love\, death\, growing\, and healing. It’s a lot of material focused on the nuance and mundanity\, in some sense\, of being a person”. \nGuffey and Pankey’s engaging slice-of-life storytelling\, expertly-crafted characters & sibling-like harmony\, shape a collection of songs that are as intimate and engaging as they are unforgettable. \n“…it might come off as a rootsy\, country-folk fusion but its importance transcends such a sonic description. It comes from the same disenfranchised place which spawned punk\, hip-hop\, even rock and roll itself\, and any and all movements born of being outside\, forgotten\, exploited\, ignored and used by those in power.” – Dave Franklin – Dancing About Architecture \n
