That would be a mistake. For me\, Anne’s writing\, in songs like ‘Follow That Road’ and many others\, is as direct\, melodic and deep as any work being done today. She is quite simply one of my absolute favorite songwriters.”— Tom Paxton \n\n \n \n \n \nAnne is one of the most beloved voices of the contemporary folk music scene\, receiving awards and recognition for her live performances\, her unique solo and collaborative recording projects\, and her overall artistry and benefit work. Her song “Follow That Road” was the title cut of the Martha’s Vineyard Songwriter Retreat and has been a certified folk classic since the late 1990s. Whether she is singing her own songs\, the words of six-year-old Opal Whiteley\, or her song settings of the Hoosier poet James Whitcomb Riley; accompanied with her guitar\, banjo\, or simply a Tibetan bell\, she puts her whole heart and soul into the moment. You won’t want to miss a chance to hear her songs and stories in person. \nThe AllMusic Guide says\, “A stunning soprano tone has made Anne Hills one of contemporary music’s premiere vocalists … Her knack for writing heartfelt songs [has] brought her to the upper echelon of her craft.” URL:https://cafecarpe.com/event/anne-hills-3/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260314T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260314T200000 DTSTAMP:20260419T195307 CREATED:20251211T194236Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260314T220101Z UID:10376-1773518400-1773518400@cafecarpe.com SUMMARY:SLIPJIG- SOLD OUT DESCRIPTION:Get a jump on St. Patrick’s Day without the drunks\, and come hear SLIPJIG play music of the Celtic nations\, featuring fiery dance tunes\, sweet airs & rich harmonies. \nRUTHIE MCQUINN  of The Krause Family Band\, The DangIts\, Darling Daughters\, and The Ramblin’ Kind on fiddle and vocals.

Be sure to come early if you are planning to eat here. \n\n \n \n \n \nTIM GRIMM is a bit of a Renaissance man in the performing arts world\, forging a rich and varied career that blends his love of songwriting\, travel\, and acting in theatre\, film and television. For most of his 25-year career as a storytelling balladeer in the tradition of John Prine\, Woody Guthrie\, and Bob Dylan\, Tim has written primarily about community\, history\, family\, and social issues – often framed by his strong sense of place and the many years he spent on the family farm he built in rural Indiana. His songs are filled with rural characters and landscapes\, written and sung with vivid warmth and intimacy. \nTim will be joined by respected sideman SERGIO WEBB .

Across 10 releases\, their body of work consistently showcases engaging slice-of-life storytelling\, expertly crafted characters\, highly skilled acoustic instrumentation & sibling like harmonies. Most recently\, My Politic has joined other folk troubadours\, Adeem The Artist\, Margo Cilker & Jaimee Harris for tour stints through the midwest and south. They also made their Woody Guthrie Folk Festival debut in July of 2023 and has returned to Okemah OK every year since. \nThe duo released their latest album\, “Signs of Life” on May 23rd 2025 to critical acclaim. \nAmericana UK says.. “it’s an eye-opening record\, if only because it’s so deeply human and vulnerable. My Politic is still calling things like they see them.” 8/10 \nAmericana Highways had this to say: “Essentially\, it’s a gem of an album\, one that current fans of My Politic will most certainly love\, while also being a perfect introduction for those new to the duo.” \n“My Politic has a style of intimate songwriting that is often reminiscent of the late great John Prine.” – Nashville Scene URL:https://cafecarpe.com/event/my-politic-6/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260327T203000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260327T203000 DTSTAMP:20260419T195307 CREATED:20260112T233847Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260316T043811Z UID:10419-1774643400-1774643400@cafecarpe.com SUMMARY:LILLY HIATT DESCRIPTION:The last few years have been a little hazy for LILLY HIATT\, who finds herself searching for answers on her striking new album\, Forever. Recorded at home with her husband\, Coley Hinson who produced and played most of the instruments\, Forever grapples with growth and change\, escape and anxiety\, self-loathing and self-love. The songs are intensely vulnerable\, full of diaristic snapshots and deeply personal ruminations\, but they’re also broad invitations to find yourself in their unflinching emotional excavations. The result is a raw\, unvarnished work of love and trust that walks the line between alt-rock muscle and singer/songwriter sensitivity\, a bold\, guitar-driven exploration of maturity and adulthood from an artist who wants you to know you’re not alone\, no matter how lost you may feel. \nLilly will appear here solo. \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBorn in Los Angeles and raised in Tennessee\, Hiatt first earned buzz with a pair of early solo records before breaking out with 2017’s Trinity Lane\, which helped earn dates with the likes of John Prine\, Margo Price\, Drive-By Truckers\, and Hiss Golden Messenger in addition to festival slots from Pilgrimage to Luck Reunion. NPR called the album “courageous and affecting\,” while Rolling Stone hailed it as “the most cohesive and declarative statement of the young songwriter’s career.” Hiatt returned in 2020 with the similarly well-received Walking Proof\, and in 2021 with Lately\, which The Boston Herald said showcased her “knack for plainspoken\, poetic lyrics” and Uncut proclaimed “captivating.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  URL:https://cafecarpe.com/event/lilly-hiatt/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260328T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260328T200000 DTSTAMP:20260419T195307 CREATED:20251215T230019Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260316T044515Z UID:10165-1774728000-1774728000@cafecarpe.com SUMMARY:AMY SPEACE/ JOHN SMITH DESCRIPTION:Two gifted songwriters Amy and John will share the evening.
