Matthew Davies Duo at Forager Brewing Company
2019-05-17 20:00 - 23:00 | Forager Brewery
Matthew and Eston return to Forager! Their unique sound, foot tapping(stomping at times) rhythm and strong vocal harmonies are sure to impress.
About the songwriter:
Matthew Davies’ music rustles with an aura of mysterious familiarity—like stories, tones and melodies broadcast from a never-to-be-finished map of America.
Born and raised in Wisconsin, son of a small-town lawyer and acclaimed by On Milwaukee, Radio Milwaukee, Common Folk Music, Matthew Davies is a road-tested musician and singer-songwriter. He’s driven the blue highways of America and played his music in rusty northern factory towns—places like Davenport, Duluth, and Ashtabula. New York and Chicago too. His fifth record, Flowers and Ticket Stubs, tells tales of common and uncommon folk—faces seen in windows, sentimental dudes with metropolitan style, all visible across an unseen borderline mining the emotions and alchemy of unwritten traditions. This ain’t no first time around.

ABOUT WURK
Wurk is an up-and-coming funk-fusion group from Madison, Wisconsin. Isthmus Magazine described the band as “summer-jam-perfect”. Wurk’s style encompasses several genres, with clear influences from bands like Snarky Puppy, Thundercat, Umphrey’s McGee, Tauk, The Motet, Herbie Hancock, Weather Report, The Meters, and many more. Their sound seeks to employ a musically educated yet groovy “Big City” tone.
With songwriting by guitarist/vocalist, Frank Laufenberg, Wurk fills the gap between complexity and groove. Max Morkri, a 2018 MAMA award nominee for Instrumentalist of the Year on drum set, drives the band with his blend of solid grooving and intricate chops. Coupled with Max’s drumming, Casey Seymour delivers powerful bass lines which pull the band together. Ryley Buchanan (synth/organ), Daniel Haschke (saxophone/flute), and Carl Hipenbecker (Trumpet) add to Wurk’s complexity with horn lines, effects, and impressive solos.
Most of Wurk’s members grew up in Mount Horeb, Wisconsin, just West of Madison. Their shared background creates the band’s closeness on stage and their ability to communicate musically. Wurk released two extended EPs in 2017, and is currently focused on finishing their new EP, The Devil’s Wurk. Find Wurk on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube!

Frank Laufenberg: Guitar and Lead Vocals

Art Heads Live: Dreamspook // Ivory James // Visual Arts by Eric Anderson
DREAMSPOOK
Earning the critical acclaim of himself and a few friends, Dreamspook’s colorful and groovy first album ‘King In The Folly Keep’ was released then quickly lost beneath a sea of failed expectations and existential grief in the summer of 2017. So, tired of attempting to ‘make it’, the goal now is to subvert the expectations of himself and of the industry that is. Reinvigorated by the ever unfolding mystery of creation, and intending to mirror it, the project will continue on, concerning itself with exploration and beauty. ‘There’s only to become’, he sings in a song that may never be released, and what would it matter? If one person hears and finds themselves in the wonder of becoming, fractal reasoning would have us believe that real growth and change spirals out from the tiniest things.
I am Gabriel Jorgensen, this is Dreamspook, let’s get weird together.

House with a Yard at Kathy's Pub
2019-05-24 22:00 - 2019-05-25 01:45 | Kathy’s Pub, 307 S Broadway, Rochester, 55904-6506, United States
Some of Colorado’s finest Jamgrass on tour in support of their debut full-length album, ‘Carousel.’
House with a Yard is an innovative, seemingly counter-intuitive assemblage of acoustic flavors: grooves borrowed from jazz and funk; raw, unrestrained rock; a violinist’s classical sensibilities; barn-burning bluegrass and the sweet, deep pocket of old-time. Simultaneously delicate and forceful, the result is a sound as captivating as it is difficult to pin down. HWAY delivers danceable, edgy, melodic adventure reflective of their Colorado home while retaining a distinctly Eastern American lyrical ennui.

Art Heads Live: EHN JEY // MAXEE // NYASIA
EHN JEY
EHN JEY is a multifaceted recording artist constructing his take on R&B for the next generation.
JEY’s journey has taken him from small town Minnesota to sharing stages with national touring acts (Aminé, Kiana Ledé), as well as accruing Midwest acclaim for work under his previous moniker (Best New Band, Best R&B Artist).
His ambitious artistic vision is best displayed with his new single “U Don’t Love Me (feat. The Nunnery).” It’s a minimal, vulnerable offering that showcases JEY’s abilities as a songwriter, vocalist, and producer. The accompanying one-take visual builds on JEY’s innate strengths as a choreographer, mover, and even as a live performer.
With a level of precision and honesty, JEY embodies what the world desires: something that is raw, real, moving — and ultimately — leaves you wanting more.

Gin Mill Hollow at Kathy's Pub
2019-05-25 22:00 - 2019-05-26 02:00 | Kathy’s Pub, 307 S Broadway, Rochester, 55904-6506, United States
Gin Mill Hollow is a 3-piece Madison, Wisconsin-based semi-acoustic rock group. The band consists of Dan Plourde on electric guitar and uke-bass, Joshua “Juice” Giudice on the mandolin and Mark Norman playing acoustic guitar and upright bass. Vocal duties are shared by all three musicians, and their string-band approach is augmented by the use of Porchboard kick-drum emulators in lieu of a drummer for a little extra foot-stomping rhythm. Their sound incorporates elements of bluegrass, folk and Americana, and they draw from influences that include The Wood Brothers, Tom Petty, The Band, Neil Young, and Bob Dylan.
Beginning in the Fall of 2014, longtime friends Mark and Dan began playing together regularly at Madison’s Up North Bar, taking on the name Gin Mill Hollow. It wasn’t long before Joshua, aka “Juice” joined them on stage, singing and playing mandolin. Once the three musicians realized the musical chemistry they possessed as a group, the duo that was Gin Mill Hollow became a trio. The group took up residency at the Up North Bar in Madison, playing the first and third Monday of each month. It was during this time that they began to develop original songs as well as continuing to play songs by the groups that had influenced them as musicians.
Gin Mill Hollow has played several notable venues, including High Noon Saloon in their hometown of Madison and The Stoughton Operahouse, opening for local favorites The People Brothers Band and Wheelhouse. Gin Mill Hollow also had the opportunity to open for the indie bluegrass/jam band Fruition and has played bars and venues across the Midwest since their formation.
To date, Gin Mill Hollow has completed one project. Their debut album, “Love Is King” was released in 2017. They are scheduled to go back into the studio during the Winter of 2018, and plan to have their second album ready for release in the Summer of 2018.

She fronts and founded the searing, mischievous rock band Annie and the Bang Bang, and, as a more mellow, acoustic-based singer-songwriter, gets to the heart of the matter on albums like WHAT I WANT NOW I WILL WANT LATER and LYNDALE & 24th, where everything is spare and true and hurts just right.
