• Music Series - Society of Broken Souls - Mount Vernon Creates

  <p>Shining Light on the Broken Bits</p><p>We’ll be brief here. We named ourselves Society of Broken Souls because we know what it’s like to feel a little (or sometimes a lot) broken — and if we’re all being honest, we’d hazard a guess that you do too. But it’s the going it alone that makes it harder than it needs to be so we created this Society. We’ll write and sing songs that’ll let you know you’re not alone. That we’re all in this together. Through the fire. Through the dark. And sometimes, dare we say, into the light. To borrow a line from Townes Van Zandt, “There ain’t no dark till something shines …” So if that steady stream of shiny highlight reels bombarding you makes you feel like your own movies look a little tarnished and rusty, fret not. Join us. We’ve got your back.</p><p>Society of Broken Souls is the Folk Noir duo of songwriters and multi-instrumentalists Dennis James and Lauryn Shapter. From stripped down, bare-bones acoustic arrangements to a denser and edgier electric sound, their songs confront our shared, raw humanity all while celebrating the beautiful mosaic of the human experience.</p><p>doors open at 6:30 pm.</p> 2019-03-09 22:00:00 -0600

• Music Series - Gaines and Wagoner - Mount Vernon Creates

  <p>Doors open at 6:30 pm</p><p><br></p><p>Based in Madison, WI, the award-winning husband and wife duo of Mary Gaines (cello, guitar, bass, vocals) and Chris Wagoner (violin, mandolins, lapsteel, ukulele, guitar, accordion, vocals) play an eclectic mix of Americana—original and classic tunes ranging from folk to jazz, bluegrass to blues, honky-tonk and a little singer-songwriter on the side.</p><p><br></p><p>Let’s just say you happen to walk into a music venue and see a duo playing cello and violin. You’d most likely expect to hear either classical or folk music of some kind, right? But just as you spy the lineup of crazy acoustic and electric stringed instruments of all varieties the duo tears into a tune that combines funky electric fuzz-wah fiddle with thumping pizzicato cello and your assumptions start to crumble. The next tune features old-time duo vocals over the jangle of an acoustic mandolin and guitar followed by a righteous gospel-fired slide-guitar-driven blues and then right into a crooning, heart-stopping jazz ballad. The space in-between the tunes is alternately punctuated by folk-style storytelling and light-hearted riffing with the audience. This is not “one-size-fits-all” music. This is Gaines and Wagoner.</p> 2019-05-01 22:00:00 -0500

• Jordan Davis

  <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td align="left" colspan="2" valign="top">Emerging country star Jordan Davis is a new voice in the country scene and has seen incredible success coming on the back of two hit singles from his 2018 debut album ''Home State''. His first single ''Singles You Up'' took the country airwaves by storm, quickly reaching #1 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart. ''Singles You Up'' even found success on Spotify’s all-genre Global Viral 50 chart. Davis then quickly scored another hit single with ''Take It From Me'' which peaked in the top 10 on Billboard’s Country Airplay and Hot Country Songs charts. Jordan Davis is a Shreveport-born, Nashville-weathered creative soul with his feet firmly planted in two different eras. The imagery in his songs relies on the same specificity behind such classic, lyrically- driven songwriters as John Prine, Jim Croce and Bob McDill. But the tech-tinged production and silvery phrasing in those same songs embodies the genre-defying musicality of such current acts as Eric Church, Sam Hunt and Lady Antebellum. With a creative foot in two places, Davis is well positioned to make a long-term connection. His songs are so musically engaging that they easily attract attention. But they’re also deep enough to hold a listener through repeated exposure. Some of that is accomplished through the sense of physical place woven into his stories. By melding classic lyric-writing with modern musical texture, Davis is staking out his own spot on the creative map. The cool melodies and understated delivery bring you in. The soul in his characters keep you in place…in Jordan Davis’ place. The concert is made possible, in part, by the John and Alice Butler Endowment for the Arts at the University of Dubuque. Radio sponsor support for Jordan Davis is provided exclusively by 97.7 Country WGLR-FM, a Queen B station.</td></tr></tbody></table> 2019-04-24 23:00:00 -0500
