He and his band the Long Beds have toured steadily ever since. \nMary Cutrufello played her first Long Beds show in the dust of a county fair horse pull\, showed up for the next gig anyway\, and has held down the lead slot for years now. A Connecticut-raised Ivy Leaguer who earned her first record deal after scorching a trail through the Texas roadhouse scene armed with a yellow Telecaster\, a truckful of originals\, and gutsy vocals\, she has gone on to become equally well-known for her fiery Midwestern roots rock and powerhouse acoustic performances. \nAs a duo\, Perry and Cutrufello are as at ease with the audience as they are with each other. The songs hit directly and cleanly\, the harmonies contrast like worn leather and rough-cut lumber\, and the stage banter plays like a conversation between two longtime road-wise friends who’ve taken their lumps and their chances\, whose trade is words and music but know what it is to work a loading dock or a pitchfork\, and who figure if life ain’t played out exactly as you drew it up\, you might as well laugh about it\, sing about it\, and get on with it. \nFriday\, February 9\, 2024\nDoors: 7PM\nMusic: 8PM\nTickets: $18 (Grab your tickets here)\n21+ \nCloudland Theater\n3533 E Lake Street\nMinneapolis\, MN 55406 URL:https://sneezingcow.com/event/the-premiere-of-the-mike-and-mary-situation-at-cloudland-in-minneapolis-mn/ LOCATION:Cloudland Theater\, 3533 E Lake Street\, Minneapolis\, MN\, 55406 CATEGORIES:Long Beds Concerts ORGANIZER;CN="Sneezing Cow Crew":MAILTO:mailinglist@sneezingcow.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20240203T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20240203T140000 DTSTAMP:20240103T041842Z CREATED:20240103T041226Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240103T041842Z UID:32955-1706965200-1706968800@sneezingcow.com SUMMARY:An Afternoon with Michael Perry at The Tarlton Theater in Green Bay\, WI – sponsored by Lion's Mouth Bookstore DESCRIPTION:Join us at The Tarlton Theater for an afternoon of laughs and bookish conversation with local New York Times bestselling author Michael Perry! Chat with Michael\, ask him a question (whether it be about writing\, music\, or rural Wisconsin farm life)\, and pick up some titles and merch to be signed. This will be an afternoon to remember and we can’t wait to see you there.  \nPerry’s bestselling memoirs include Population: 485 (subsequently adapted for the stage)\, Truck: A Love Story\, Coop\, Visiting Tom\, and Montaigne in Barn Boots. Among his other dozen titles are The Scavengers (for young readers)\, his novel The Jesus Cow\, Peaceful Persistence\, Hunker\, and his most recent title: the novella Forty Acres Deep. \nMichael also hosts “Voice Mail\,” a subscription audio newsletter at www.michaelperry.substack.com. \nRaised on a small Midwestern dairy farm\, Perry put himself through nursing school while working on a ranch in Wyoming\, then detoured into writing. He performs widely as a humorist\, and tours with his band the Long Beds. His three live humor albums include Never Stand Behind A Sneezing Cow and The Clodhopper Monologues. He lives in rural Wisconsin\, where he still makes an occasional call with the local volunteer fire and rescue service. \nThe event is free to all. \nFebruary 3\, 2024 at 1PM \nThe Tarlton Theater\n405-409 W Walnut Street\nGreen Bay\, WI 54303 URL:https://sneezingcow.com/event/an-afternoon-with-michael-perry-at-lions-mouth-bookstore-in-green-bay-wi/ LOCATION:Lion’s Mouth Bookstore\, 211 N Washington Street\, Green Bay\, WI\, 54301 ORGANIZER;CN="Sneezing Cow Crew":MAILTO:mailinglist@sneezingcow.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20240202T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20240202T200000 DTSTAMP:20230818T234500Z CREATED:20230818T234500Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230818T234500Z UID:32383-1706860800-1706904000@sneezingcow.com SUMMARY:Keynote Speaker: Private Event DESCRIPTION:Private Event.

Show starts at 5PM. The Long Beds feature all-original songs written and sung by Michael Perry (New York Times bestselling author of numerous books including: Population 485\, Truck\, The Scavengers\, and Forty Acres Deep). Perry began writing music in the early 1990s as a way to break up all-night typing sessions when he was struggling to survive on prose. Eventually a musician friend invited him to play a coffee shop gig. “I’m not saying I was nervous\, but I cranked out a sixty-minute set list in thirty-two minutes flat\,” says Perry. \nSince then Michael has released 4 albums\, several singles\, and toured backed by a collection of renowned musicians who have performed on numerous stages throughout the world (including The Tonight Show\, Austin City Limits\, and Eaux Claires festival) and worked with a host of artists\, including Bon Iver\, S. Carey\, The Staves\, Miley Cyrus\, Lizzo\, Field Report\, The Tallest Man on Earth\, Jimmie Dale Gilmore\, and many more. \nEvery Long Beds show is built on roughneck ballads and freight train rockers interspersed with hilarious off-the-cuff tales from Mike’s diverse experience as a Wisconsin farm kid turned cowboy turned nurse turned best selling author. \nTICKETS: $15 ADVANCE // $25 PREMIER BALCONY SEATING // $20 DAY OF SHOW\n18+ \n4:30PM: DOORS \n5PM: Alt-country artist and Eau Claire\, WI native\, Hemma\, to open. \n6PM: Long Beds start. \nGrab your tickets here \n2528 Nicollet Ave South\nMinneapolis\, MN\, 55404 URL:https://sneezingcow.com/event/michael-perry-and-the-long-beds-return-to-minneapolis/ CATEGORIES:Long Beds Concerts END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20231023T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20231023T200000 DTSTAMP:20230818T232154Z CREATED:20230818T232154Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230818T232154Z UID:32377-1698055200-1698091200@sneezingcow.com SUMMARY:Keynote Speaker: Private Event DESCRIPTION:Private Event.

Raised in rural Wisconsin by farmers\, preachers\, and tough country women\, his songs reflect “certain wisdoms” available only from whistlers\, frauds\, and sinners. Ranging from straight-up twang to churchly harmonies and populated by characters drawn straight from rural and small-town America\, they launch from places like the overpass outside Perry’s beloved hometown of New Auburn\, Wisconsin\, a gospel service in a granary\, and the kitchen floor of a woman about to drop a world of hurt on her drunken husband. \nTo prepare for the show\, have a listen to the band’s most recent singles: \n\n“Forty Acres Deep” (same title as Mike’s new novella)\n“Little Bird”\n\nTickets: $26 and $13 for Youth 17 & Under. Grab yours here. \nIf you can’t make it up to the Big Blue Tent\, you can livestream the event for $14.99. Click this link for more information.

My book is fiction. Their experience is not. \nMichael Perry’s new novella is a departure from his previous works of fiction. Set in a world of stark wintry beauty\, Forty Acres Deep is the brief\, unrelenting tale of one person’s attempt to make sense of a world he no longer recognizes while pitilessly calling himself into account. Seamed with grim humor and earthy revelations\, it is an unforgiving story…and yet leaves open the idea that we might surrender to hope. Michael will talk about his inspiration for the novella and his decision to self-publish it. The evening will include a panel of farmers\, moderated by Joy Kirkpatrick\, responding to the story and sharing their experiences about what it means to farm today. \nJoy Kirkpatrick has worked for the University of Wisconsin for 29 years.  She began her Extension career as a county-based educator. In 2004 she became the Farm Succession Outreach Specialist for the University of Wisconsin’s Center for Dairy Profitability. In this position she collaborates with colleagues to provide educational programs and information on farm succession planning.  Kirkpatrick has extensive experience facilitating farm succession discussions with farm businesses and farm families. Joy is honored to work with farm families on some of their most personal issues when working on farm succession planning. Since 2016\, Kirkpatrick has also focused on farmer wellbeing and mental health and is a certified adult Mental Health First Aid trainer. \nThe panel will include farmers Dorothy Harms\, Robert Nigh\, and David Unbehaun. \nDinner will be available for purchase from Chef’s Hideout beginning at 5:00 p.m. Choose from brisket or pulled pork sandwich (with fries\, $12) or dinner (with fries\, coleslaw\, and cornbread\, $20). \nDate: July 18\, 2023\nTime: 6:30 PM\nCost: Free \nOctagon Barn\nE4350 Horseshoe Road\nSpring Green\, WI\n53588 URL:https://sneezingcow.com/event/forty-acres-deep-an-evening-with-michael-perry-morrill-lecture-series-at-the-octagon-barn/ LOCATION:Octagon Barn\, E4350 Horseshoe Road\, Spring Green\, WI\, 53588\, United States ORGANIZER;CN="Sneezing Cow Crew":MAILTO:mailinglist@sneezingcow.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20230714T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20230714T140000 DTSTAMP:20230413T060117Z CREATED:20230413T060117Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230413T060117Z UID:31679-1689321600-1689343200@sneezingcow.com SUMMARY:Keynote Speaker: Private Event DESCRIPTION:Private Event.
