Often described as “country folk\,” “roughneck folk\,” “folk-twang\,” and Americana\, they prefer the description given by an audience member after a benefit concert in Perry’s old high school gym: “You sound just like Gordon Lightfoot… only zippier!” \nPerry has co-written or collaborated with musicians including Phil Cook\, Justin Vernon\, Sean Carey\, Mary Cutrufello\, and Grammy-nominated jazz pianist Geoffrey Keezer\, but not until he met producer (and Long Beds musical director) Evan Middlesworth did he learn to play a “cheater” B minor. In the fall of 2019\, Michael Perry & The Long Beds released Long Road to You\, an EP featuring five freshly-recorded songs and a spoken word piece from the Long Beds headlining stint on 2019’s Wisconsin Vinyl Collective tour. The set list will also include solid favorites\, along with recent releases ‘Little Bird’ and ‘Forty Acres Deep’\, and—between songs—easygoing humor and tangential tales arising directly from Michael Perry’s other gig as a humorist and New York Times bestselling author. \nTickets are $25 and can be purchased here: https://stoughtonoperahouse.showare.com/orderticketsvenue.asp?p=518 URL:https://sneezingcow.com/event/michael-perry-and-the-long-beds-at-the-stoughton-opera-house/ LOCATION:Stoughton Opera House\, 381 East Main Street\, Stoughton\, WI\, 53589\, United States CATEGORIES:Long Beds Concerts END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20220421T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20220421T220000 DTSTAMP:20220217T012645Z CREATED:20220211T070243Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220217T012645Z UID:29135-1650567600-1650578400@sneezingcow.com SUMMARY:Winona House Concerts present Michael Perry & the Long Beds DESCRIPTION:On Thursday April 21\, 2022 at 7:00pm\, New York Times Bestselling Author\, Humorist\, Singer/Songwriter\, and playwright along with a contingent of his band\, the Long Beds\, are sure to deliver a delightful night of songs\, memorable stories\, and Mike’s special blend of humor\, including recent releases ‘Little Bird’ and ‘Forty Acres Deep.’ \nWinona House Concerts have been fans of Michael’s music and writing for many years and have had so many requests to bring them back.

These days when he’s not on the road performing or hosting “Tent Show Radio\,” he lives on a small farm with his wife and two daughters where he writes books\, a weekly “Roughneck Grace” column for the Wisconsin State Journal\, and develops music projects with Grammy-winning musicians. \nThis program is sponsored by the Augusta School District\, Augusta Area Foundation\, Friends of the Augusta Library\, Augusta Senior and Community Center\, and Friends of the Cadott Library.

But it’s also fun to be mid-show\, trigger some memory or recollection\, and just chase after it. See what we wander into together. That’s where some of the biggest laughs or most powerful moments are born.” Perry has often said he’s a farm kid who accidentally made a career out of going off on tangents\, so expect fresh stories and unexpected laughs. \n\nSaturday\, February 26\, 2022\n7:30 PM 10:00 PM\nTickets are $23 and can be purchased by clicking this link.\nThe Mabel Tainter Theater’s health and safety guidelines can be found on their website here.
