Tonight’s show will be a Coffee House benefit featuring three acts performing songs with the theme “Naughty or Nice”: songs about good people and not-so-good people, and, well, some really rotten people. The show will benefit the genuinely good people at Nourish MKE (formerly Friedens Food Pantry).The not-so-rotten people performing at this show will be Martin Levson, John Jansen, and Pam Kennedy with Mark Peterson,
Pam Kennedy is a former kindergarten teacher, former member of the Redundants, now turned dangerous ukulele diva. Mark Peterson is a long time ukulele-cult member, autoharp player, and social gadfly.
Martin Levson grew up in San Jose, CA; the child of two hard-core early '60s folkies. His secular musical influences include Theo Bikel, Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, and Suzanne Vega, but he also has a great fondness for Jefferson Airplane, Elvis Costello, Talking Heads, and The Decemberists. IRL, he serves as the Cantor and Sole/Soul Spiritual Leader of Congregation Emanu-El of Waukesha.
John Jansen is a lifelong guitarist and vocalist whose catalogue includes hundreds of covers from the world of rock, folk and Irish music along with an expanding number of original songs. Located in Cedarburg, he has performed at its many annual festivals and in area nightclubs. When not performing as a solo artist, he plays in a popular duo called “Cream City Folk” (www.CreamCityFolk.com), which won the silver medal at this year’s “Best of Blueburg” competition at Gathering on the Green.
Doors open at 7:00. Suggested donation $5 - 15.
