LIVE MUSIC: Jim Pullman
2024-08-24 19:00 - 22:00
While his emotions have always been at the core of his songwriting, Jim Pullman’s newest album, Go On Boldly, brings an honesty that reaches into experiences of hope, loss, and renewal resulting in the most raw and revealing musical effort of his career. This set of songs examines issues of mortality, survival, and celebration in ways that are both personal and universal. The loss of his mother-in-law (someone very dear to Pullman’s heart) shook him deeply as did seeing his wife deal with her passing. The experience brought songs to the surface to honor his mother-in-law, songs to help the family make it through, and songs to recall better times.
The album was recorded at Pullman’s home in Eau Claire, WI, August through November 2020, with the help of longtime friend and musical confidant, Todd Barneson. Barneson was an integral part of the album, providing engineering and mixing as well as playing bass, acoustic & electric guitars, and synth, and also sang backing vocals. Also contributing to the album was Adam Harder Nussbaum on the drums and Paul Brandt, who played upright piano and synth tracks. Jim’s wife Donna also contributed with backing vocals

FIRESIDE TUNES with Tim Case
2024-10-08 19:30 - 22:00
Tim Case is a folk-inspired, country-adjacent singer/songwriter from Wisconsin. Born and raised in Beloit to a public school teacher mother and factory foreman by day/Pentecostal minister by night father, his original songs – whether tender personal narrative, classic story-song, or good old fashioned barroom lament – are rooted in a perspective that is uniquely his own. As a songwriter he takes inspiration from the subtle complexities of everyday life, with artful lyrics that probe heavy topics – family, fatherhood, love, and loss – with a light, often humorous touch.
His musical development began with a move to Madison after college, where he was a co-founding guitarist of alt-country outfit Ghost Town Council, sharing stages with some of the region’s finest Americana acts during his time with the band. Love and graduate school eventually brought him to the Chippewa Valley, where after a decade away from music he released the “Great Big Moon” EP, a five-song collection praised by Aldora Britain Records as, “A prime example of colorful and extraordinary Americana music in the modern world.”
Since the release of the EP he has been honored to share the stage with Erik Koskinen, Martha Scanlan & Jon Neufeld, The Lone Canary, Michael Gay, Andie Wyne, and many other artists from around the upper Midwest and beyond. Featuring finger-picked acoustic guitar, heartfelt vocals, and a down-to-earth stage presence, he has earned a reputation as a charming and compelling live performer. He lives in Eau Claire with his wife and daughter.
