While registration is more than the usual ticket price to hear Mike speak\, we wanted to help spread the word about the conference itself\, because A) we admire what they’re doing and how\, and B) we know some among Mike’s readership will find the overall event fundamentally useful and a source of insight and encouragement. \nMike’s event description: “Drawing on his prolific writing career (14 books and counting…his most recent is Peaceful Persistence)\, his background as a Midwestern farm kid (and a Wyoming “sorta-cowboy”)\, and his heartfelt and hilarious one-man shows\, humorist and New York Times bestselling author Michael Perry will offer a balance of reflection\, stories\, and offhand tangents that will provide a welcome respite from the headlines\, the forecast\, and perhaps even the comments in your social media feed—all while addressing with respect the compound challenges today’s farmers face.” URL:https://sneezingcow.com/event/moses-organic-farming-conference/ LOCATION:WI END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20210218T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20210218T200000 DTSTAMP:20210120T200626Z CREATED:20210120T200626Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210120T200626Z UID:28027-1613673000-1613678400@sneezingcow.com SUMMARY:A Virtual Evening with Michael Perry DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, February 18\, the Monticello Public Library will be hosting Mike on Zoom.

Carey and Ben Lester streaming live from The Pablo Center - August 6\, 2020 DESCRIPTION:Long Road to YouGolden in the MorningAshes \n \n \n\n \nHowdy Folks\, \nOn Thursday\, August 6\, as part of the Pablo Streams series\, Mike and his friends\, S. Carey and Ben Lester\, will be playing for you live from the JAMF theater at the Pablo Center in Eau Claire\, WI. There will be some collaborative works as well as their own tunes. The show is free. To sign up to watch the show\, you will need to register here. \nThe event starts at 6:30PM (CT) on August 6th\, 2020. \nMichael Perry‘s music beats with the same heart as his New York Times bestselling books: blue-collar roughneck meets joker with a library card. \nPerry has been involved in numerous musical collaborations\, composing and performing “Winter Sleeper” with S. Carey and Ben Lester\, co-writing “Red Leaf” with Grammy-nominated jazz pianist Geoffrey Keezer\, co-writing “Deeper Kind” with Phil Cook\, and composing liner notes for the John Prine tribute album “Broken Hearts & Dirty Windows\,” (with Bon Iver frontman Justin Vernon) and the Blind Boys of Alabama album “I’ll Find A Way.” Perry also collaborated with Vernon and Flaming Lips lead singer Wayne Coyne on a project that began when Vernon approached Perry and said\, “Say\, you’re a nurse…” The results were bloody\, but then that was the point. \nABOUT S. CAREY \nAt its heart\, Hundred Acres—the third full-length album from Wisconsin singer/songwriter S. Carey—finds him grounded comfortably in his skin\, but still with one foot in the stream. More direct than ever\, there is a wellspring of confidence in this new batch of songs that lays bare the intricacies of life while keeping its ideas uncomplicated. \nTrained in jazz\, Carey’s astute musicianship has never been in question nor taken for granted\, and the execution of Hundred Acres’ new ideas is seamless. He intentionally unburdened himself from a more complicated instrumentation palate for these ten songs\, and\, in effect\, this modification to his approach brings the content of the work much closer to a living reality. By giving equal status to the indifference of nature and the concerns of a material world—while employing more pop-oriented structures instead of the Steve Reich-ian repetitions of his past work—a new balance is struck that creates something unique. This in turn provides equal status for the feeling that created each song\, and the feeling each song creates. Almost impossibly\, there is more air between the bars; Carey and his contributors sway like treetops in the wind\, remaining flexible enough that they never threaten to break. \nABOUT BEN LESTER\nBen is a member of both S. Carey and Michael Perry and the Long Beds.  He has recorded or performed with many artists such as Tallest Man on Earth\, Miley Cyrus\, Shane Leonard\, Hemma\, and Anna Tivel.  Usually you’ll find him adding an array of sounds behind the pedal steel and keyboards.  \nTickets for this show are free\, register here. \nSee y’down the road\,\nSneezing Cow Crew URL:https://sneezingcow.com/event/michael-perry-and-s-carey-streaming-live-from-the-pablo-center-august-6-2020/ LOCATION:The Pablo Center at The Confluence\, 128 Graham Avenue\, Eau Claire\, WI\, 54702\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20200619T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20200619T220000 DTSTAMP:20200506T163155Z CREATED:20200311T225109Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200506T163155Z UID:25482-1592595000-1592604000@sneezingcow.com SUMMARY:(Cancelled) Michael Perry at Big Top Chautauqua New First Night with Blue Canvas Orchestra DESCRIPTION:UPDATE: Unfortunately\, this event has been cancelled due the global pandemic.
