WINTERSONG

featuring performances by

Anna Vogelzang | Count This Penny | Corey Hart Music | Paul Otteson & Faux Fawn | Whitney Mann | Crane Your Swan Neck | Dietrich Gosser with BCG on cello |

– via Barrymore Theatre: For the past two winter seasons, local folk musicians, headed by Anna Vogelzang, have banded together to present Wintersong, an all-ages holiday show to benefit Second Harvest Foodbank of Southern Wisconsin. In 2013 alone—thanks to a sold-out crowd at the Majestic Theater—over $2,500 was raised, providing 7,545 meals for families and individuals who struggle with hunger. Since 2012, Wintersong has raised 10,200 meals to help end hunger in southwestern Wisconsin.

The public is invited to join musicians Anna Vogelzang, Count This Penny, Corey Hart, Paul Otteson & Faux Fawn, Whitney Mann, Crane Your Swan Neck, and Dietrich Gosser as the band of merrymakers cover holiday tunes, perform seasonal group numbers, and raise donations for Second Harvest Foodbank in this fun-filled event’s third year.

The concert, presented by Majestic Live & the Barrymore Theatre, will take place at the Barrymore Saturday December 13, 2014 at 8PM. This event is generously supported by the Isthmus, Wisconsin Public Radio, Furthermore Beer and WORT.

Guests will also hear from Dan Stein, Second Harvest’s President/CEO. A raffle with prizes from many localbusinesses, including the grand prize of a $300 dinner at L’Etoile Restaurant, will be held during the evening as well.

10/26  10pm  FREE!!

LA HELL GANG (Santiago, Chile)
The Chilean fuzzed out, desert-psych trio, La Hell Gang, is graciously taking a detour from their first ever U.S. tour to visit Mickey’s Tavern and perform for YOU!!

DO NOT MISS!!

“A warm, melting conglomeration of shoegaze and heavy head drone psych, La Hell Gang have just loosed another platter of dystopian melancholy psychedelia on the world in the form of… Thru Me Again… for [the Brooklyn-based label] Mexican Summer.
Throttling back from 2010’s Just What Is Real for BYM Records, La Hell Gang have settled into a sound that’s quite reminiscent of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club when they were at the top of their game, mellow, yet harsh, and meticulously and intricately constructed… Raucous and spacious guitars paint a luscious landscape in which the bass and drums fill in the colors and bring the listener along for a demented technicolor trip across the worlds of sound.” –psychedelicbaby.blogspot.com


Opening the night is the ultra impressive experimental avant-jazz trio, BRENNAN CONNORS & STRAY PASSAGE, ft. Brian Grimm on strings, Geoff Brady on percussion, and Brennan Connors on saxophones and other toys.

WORT FM‘s DJ Dave 3000 will be providing a potentially face-melting musical backdrop for the evening!

The Greater Madison Jazz Consortium, WORT, & Isthmus Present:

5/23/14  STROLLIN SCHENK’S CORNERS 

Brennan Connors & Stray Passage (featuring Tim Russell subbing in for Geoff Brady on percussion) will be playing Friday, 5/23 at Thorps Salon for the first ever “Madison Jazz Crawl“!  We’re thrilled to play along side our buddies John Christensen & Devin Drobka as they shape-shift into Lesser Lakes Trio!  The first show that Stray Passage ever played was at Audio For the Arts with John & Devin (then performing with Luke Polipnick as Deconunisms).  This year I have been the house bass player at The Mason Lounge every Tuesday night from 9-12 with the 5 Points Jazz Collective.  Charlie Painter, jazz guitarist & 5-Points band leader, will be performing with his Trio at One Barrel Brewing.  If you’re around for the late sets, don’t forget to swing by Alchemy Cafe to hear saxophonist Tony Barba guest with Paddy Cassidy & El Clan Destino!

Come on out ‘n bop around!  Celebrate Jazz in Madison & the wonderful, unique local establishments found on Schenk’s Corners!
