SUMMARY:PAUL SPRAWL
DESCRIPTION:Paul says\, “I quit my day job in Sept. 1997 and embarked on the long and winding road of being a full-time performer who writes and records his own songs and performs all over North America and in Europe. My songs are of a rootsy Americana sort. As much as anything else\, I’m coming from a country blues place\, but even people on the streets in Mississippi generally don’t know what country blues is anymore. That’s alright\, because people like it when they hear it! ” \n“PAUL SPRAWL is a fine songwriter and very original guitarist whose music reflects his colorful experiences as a constantly traveling musician. “— Lee Townsend – producer/manager of Bill Frisell\, also produced Loudon Wainwright III\, Joe Henry \n  \n

SUMMARY:JOHN STANO/ JOHN SIEGER
DESCRIPTION:Two Milwaukee songwriters will share the evening. \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. \n“If there’s an unsung hero in American Music right now it just might be JOHN SIEGER… His voice is a study in emotional grace\, one that touches all the places inside us that need touching… Sieger shows us that walking down a familiar sidewalk and grabbing melodies from thin air is a holy pursuit\, and then carving words into the music takes things right into an eternal quest for permanence.”— BILL BENTLEY\, BENTLEY’S BANDSTAND // AMERICANA HIGHWAYS \nSongwriter\, singer and guitarist JOHN SIEGER has a long resume. His band the R&B Cadets ruled the dance floors in Milwaukee in the 1980s\, playing a mix of his originals and obscure soul tunes unearthed by bandmates Paul Cebar and Robin Pluer. Their debut\, “Top Happy\,” for Twin/Tone Records\, turned out to be their finale. In the late 80’s his band Semi-Twang recorded for Warner Brothers Records. Both bands have regrouped in recent years and since then\, Semi-Twang has released three more collections of his songs\, most recently and ode to his hometown\, “Kenosha.” \nOther Sieger songs have been covered by a long list of great artists including Dwight Yoakam (Don’t Need It Done)\, Jerry Harrison of Talking Heads (Rev It Up)\, The Bodeans (The Strangest Kind)\, Flaco Jimenez (I Found Out)\, Robbie Fulks (You Break It – You Pay)\, Phil Lee (I Hope Love Always Knows Your Name\, Neon Tombstone) and Greg Trooper (My Bluebell\, Real Like That and others). Recorded but still waiting to be released\, is a version of “Salty Tears\,” sung by Etta James. \n“Sieger on Songs\,” his column at UrbanMilwaukee.com\, is John’s ongoing love letter to the music he digs.

SUMMARY:AN EVENING with ABBIE GARDNER
DESCRIPTION:Named a “triple threat” by Bluegrass Unlimited\, ABBIE GARDNER has made a name for herself as one of the the only solo dobro troubadours in the country. Don’t let her infectious smile fool you\, beneath that radiant exterior lies the soul of a fierce and fiery slide guitar player.  \nYou might know her best from her work with Americana darlings Red Molly\, but Abbie Gardner centered her own gritty\, sweet tales of love and loss on her 2022 solo album DobroSinger. It reached #11 on the Billboard Blues chart. She’s a Kerrville New Folk Finalist (2025) and was nominated for Folk Alliance International’s Artist of the Year (2025). Her live show is truly unique – heartfelt vocals and warm stage presence\, backed up by top notch picking on an instrument that is more typically in the background. Come for the heartfelt\, intimate ballads and stay for the raw\, bluesy picking. Gardner’s got all your musical bases covered. \n\n      \n        \n      \n    \n​ ​”Abbie is leaving her mark by trailblazing a new path. She has fused her dobro playing\, singing\, and songwriting into a seamless vehicle of musical expression. If you have never seen Abbie live you owe it to yourself to do so… and if you have seen her live…you know what I am talking about.”– Mike England\, Bluegrass Unlimited“DobroSinger is a masterclass in how to deliver a song\, taught by an artist who is at the top of her game”– Ron Olesko\, Folk Notebook​“The playing and singing are both impeccable and loaded with personality. You can hear every nuance of the slide\, smooth one moment or rattling slightly at the end of a phrase like punctuation; and her intimate\, pitch-perfect vocals—wistful\, playful\, confessional—sound like they’re dancing with the guitar.”– Blair Jackson\, Acoustic Guitar Magazine
