SUMMARY:PATIO SESSIONS with Simon Cropp
DESCRIPTION:Simon Cropp is a flatpick guitarist and country and bluegrass songwriter. His performance style is equal parts dive bar bravado and fireside introspection. Simon’s songwriting style is plainspoken storytelling\, channeling classic country themes of love\, heartbreak\, and the landscapes he travels through. Both as a solo act and with his band Slapdash Bluegrass\, Simon has had the chance to share the stage with songwriting inspirations in The Last Revel\, Possessed by Paul James\, Margo Cilker\, Clay Street Unit\, and Joseph Huber. With a dreadnought guitar in hand\, Simon’s flatpicking style blends country-inspired crosspicking with melodic sensibility to produce a sound that is as comfortable on a front porch as it is on a festival stage.

SUMMARY:LAKELY LIMITED: Jeff Cramer
DESCRIPTION:Lakely Limited is a series of live performances and special engagements at The Lakely\, carefully chosen to create distinct nights of music\, atmosphere\, and connection. When you see this special designation\, expect an experience that’s designed to be savored\, and an event that’s worth planning for. \nColorado-based singer-songwriter Jeff Cramer has always harbored a desire to be surrounded by the same bright hues with which he imbues his art. \nGrowing up outside of Milwaukee\, Cramer knew he had to escape the flatness of the Midwest — a gray\, sterile cold he describes was like growing up “in The Matrix\,” if the movie had taken place in a quiet family suburb. Starting in middle school\, Jeff and his friends played old blues songs (some of which he thought were written by Eric Clapton; Wikipedia didn’t exist yet) and covered Crosby\, Stills\, Nash\, and Young tracks in their free time to escape into a world of color and texture. The inclination stuck\, and Cramer graduated from being a self-described “angsty teenager” to interning at New York’s Nonesuch Records. There\, he donned an 80s Bob Weir ponytail and was paid in NJ Transit rail credits\, plus a daily handful of CDs from the Nonesuch vault. \nCramer’s summer at Nonesuch coincided with the release of A Ghost Is Born\, the alt-rock staple Wilco’s fifth studio album. He remembers the specialness he sensed in it\, the space between young\, edgy alt-country and dad rock — the kind of record you know within the first 30 seconds will stand the test of time. It’s a nifty in-between he managed to emulate first in his debut 2019 album Northern 45\, and even more intentionally in 2024’s Forever Morning. Now\, he’s bringing that energy to his first live album: the triumphant\, exuberant Live at the Bluebird. \nForever Morning\, a triumphant 16-track journey through precipitous crags and sun-soaked valleys of homelands real and imagined\, was recorded alongside acclaimed producer Andrew Berlin. Cramer realized the album over the course of two years at Colorado’s iconic Blasting Room Studios. It’s a buzzing mix of warm\, compact drums and strummed acoustics\, things Cramer hears in his head when the light shines through his curtains in the morning. It’s a joyous escape\, a celebration of life with all its strange little corners. Cramers aimed to “revel and dance” in the places he has been\, reinventing them in a way that created meaning for him. For him\, they’re like shadow work\, lucid dreams he urges the listener to have alongside him. \nLive at the Bluebird\, a mixture of Cramer classics and new hits from Forever Morning\, took place in Denver last September. Recording a live album has been Cramer’s dream since he was a kiddo; concert albums made the artists he loved seem like real\, breathing people. Cramer’s live band — Dave Devine on a searing electric\, Emma Rose on bass and ethereal harmonies\, and expert masterer Tyler Lindgren on drums — had one night to rehearse together for the venue\, and the spontaneity of the performance shines through in its pure\, unadulterated energy. Cramer’s at his best like this: stripped down\, revved up. Live at the Bluebird is less of an album than it is an invitation to lose oneself in the joy of raw sound. \nBoth albums represent an evolution from Northern 45\, an album in which Cramer let his admiration for his folk forefathers take the lead. Replete with gentle acoustic strums and rollicking vocals\, the LP garnered Cramer admiration as a budding bluegrass artist. Next came The Shed Sessions\, a series of live recorded performances recorded in fall 2020 with The Wooden Sound. Cramer and his band intermixed his own songs with John Prine and Gillian Welch\, a tapestry of folk tradition weaving into the strings of his Taylor. After the shed sessions\, Cramer took a hiatus to focus on his work as a clean energy advocate — he figures artists who sing about loving America ought to walk the walk. \nFive years on\, Forever Morning and Live at the Bluebird are both labors of love\, born out of an admiration for the mythos of folk music and a desire to push it against its traditional limits. They’re celebrations of a sprawling childhood and an unknown future\, sprinkled with nods to Willie Nelson (who Cramer represented on 5 consecutive Halloweens in his late 20s) and Nietzsche (who contributed significantly and unoriginally to his teenage angst). Interwoven in Cramer’s deft fingerpicking and his soft\, gravelly drawl is an acknowledgment: that the quintessential American wonderment he pays homage to is not without its dark spots — and that without those dark spots\, the light wouldn’t shine quite so bright.

SUMMARY:LIVE MUSIC: Wyatt Thomson & Friends
DESCRIPTION:Wyatt Thomson possesses a voice that echos the soundscapes of the dance halls\, supper clubs\, and road houses that still litter the landscape of his home in the Chippewa Valley of Wisconsin. \n​Citing Tom Waits as his biggest influence\, it’s safe to say that Thomson (Like Waits) seems to have skipped right over decades of music that might have otherwise changed his sound for the worst. \nOne of Thomson’s biggest appeals is that he sounds like an artist transported from the 1950’s honky tonks of the Midwest\, and dropped off into the second decade of the 21st century unscathed by the worst aspects of pop country\, pop music\, and an industry forever changed by technology. \nNot unlike a character from a Roger Miller song\, Thomson has the bona fides of working pawn shops\, odd jobs\, and scraping by in the rust belt landscape of NW Wisconsin. As a result\, he’s gained the street wise and cynical wisdom that is earned young from such a life. \nThe world may press onward with its insane pace\, but Thomson ambles along with a casual confidence and story telling tales that feel like they’re ripped from old paperbacks in a truck stop\, or found in some lost postwar beatnik manuscript.
