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.

My first invitation is for us to simply share a little time together. I’ve been getting messages asking if there was a way to slide a couple bucks into the tip jar. We’re a self-employed family. The cancellations and disruptions in my touring have certainly put a crimp in things\, so I will be adding that option soon. But others in my backyard are facing far more dire circumstances. So for now I’d rather point you to the terrific folks at Feed My People Food Bank\, and also ask you to consider the Chippewa Valley Artists Relief Fund here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/cv-artist-relief-fund.

For a number of reasons–respect for the health of others chief among them–we have decided to postpone the event at the LuCille Tack Arts Center in Spencer this coming Thursday (I was scheduled to appear as both author and musician\, with my band The Long Beds). \nAs you might suspect\, this is related to the many ways we’re being asked to pitch in and reduce the risk of coronavirus for our neighbors. I like to joke that my audience “skews old\,” but in fact\, many of the people who attend my events are in the vulnerable demographic. My elders. Our elders. Dear members of my immediate family. So we’re making this move out of prudence\, not panic. \nThe good news is the event has been rescheduled for May 5th. Please note: ticketing details (links\, etc.) for the rescheduled date are yet to come. Your best info is right here on the Lucille Tack Center for the Arts Facebook page. \nThis whole little family enterprise of ours runs on gratitude\, and so it remains. Lord willin’ and the crick don’t rise\, I’ll see y’down the road. \nSee y’down the road\,\nSneezing Cow Crew URL:https://sneezingcow.com/event/an-afternoon-with-author-michael-perry-writing-from-the-middle-of-nowhere/ LOCATION:LuCille Tack Center for the Arts\, 400 North School Street\, Spencer\, WI\, 54479\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20200313T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20200313T223000 DTSTAMP:20200313T010528Z CREATED:20191022T222834Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200313T010528Z UID:25106-1584127800-1584138600@sneezingcow.com SUMMARY:POSTPONED: Michael Perry at the Ladysmith Middle High School Auditorium DESCRIPTION:A Flambeau Valley Arts Association event.

If you’ve never been\, it’s an unusual venue in the best unusual way. Have a look here. Meanwhile\, I gotta fine me some red roses. \nThe evening will include songs from their newest release\, “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. \nThe set list will also include solid favorites\, a couple fresh ones being woodshedded for a project due out in 2020\, 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. \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. \nShow starts at 7PM. \nTickets available here.
