Every once in a while you’ll come across an artist who is so deeply connected with the muse that gives birth to their talent that it just seems to cast a glow around them. Maybe it’s just me, but I think Jill Jack is one of those talents. Okay, so maybe it’s just me and the city of Detroit where she has won thirty Detroit Music Awards since 1997. “I have had such a beautiful life so far. I wouldn’t trade the struggles, heartbreaks, and losses for the anything because they made me who i am today. I know that this year has so many opportunities..i just gotta move out of the way of them and let them happen.” That’s Jill in her own words.

A few of my friends in Evansville got to experience Jill Jack first hand when she played a Concert at the Cabin in 2007. I have been looking forward to her return to Evansville ever since, and I hope you’ll join us for this time. Jill usually plays with a full band, but her voice and energy really shine in the  intimacy of her rare solo performances. And of course, it’s about the songs, too. Jill is a storyteller, reflective, and inspirational. This is a very rare opportunity to experience one of Detroit’s musical treasures here in our corner of Indiana. Please join us!

The doors will open at 7pm and we’ll have some snacks out on the table, our lemonade, and a bit of wine and you’re also welcome to bring something to share.

Rich Prezioso and Jacquie Manning have played the cabin more than any other performers, and every single show has been a sell-out well in advance of the night of the show. They are incredibly entertaining performers, both are inspiring songwriters who easily draw you into their world of humor and heart. They’ll take you from laughter to tears quicker than the Red Line will get you from Part Street to Downtown Crossing. Oh, wait. I’m not in Boston anymore. Well, trust me, that’s really fast.

The Troubadours of Divine Bliss defined and refined their music act on street corners in New Orleans where the spirit of vaudeville reigns like a Mardi Gras king. These two cut-ups are spontaneous, irreverent, full of lightness and heart. Their harmonies are mesmerizing, their stories cross boundaries and make new connections that you never thought possible. When I was first introduced to AimMe and Reneé, I didn’t know for sure what to make of them. I just liked the groove in their music and the playful spirit they approached life with. They’re loads of fun, and will make you smile.

Don’t take just my opinion, read what The Plain Dealer had to say about “the troubs”:
“Their acoustic music with a streak of old-timer flavor appeals to those who like the female camaraderie and harmonies of the Indigo Girls but are looking for something with a bit more weirdness, humor and range…sultry narratives…vaudeville send-ups…luscious covers…they move from pathos to flippancy with breathtaking speed.”

The Troubadours of Divine Bliss have become regional house concert favorites since the first time they played here at the cabin in 2004, and they always put on a wonderful show. We’re looking forward to this one!

We are thrilled to bring back to Evansville, our good friends Al and Emily Cantrell. The Cantrells feature Al on fiddle or mandolin, but rarely both at once, and Emily on vocals, guitar and sometimes Al’s fiddle while he’s playing it. Okay, that’s a bit of a trick, you’ll have to come to the show to see what I mean.

Al and Emily Cantrell play their own brand of music with strong influences from Texas swing, Appalachia, and the British Isles. It’s traditional and original at the same time, and so easy to listen to, over and over again. Their album titled “Dancing with the Miller’s Daughter” is a favorite around the cabin, and is great road music, as well. Other CDs in their catalog that we love as well include “The Heart Wants What it Wants”, “A New Language”, and “Under a Southern Moon”.

You have probably heard me say this countless times, but I will say it again. I am humbled and amazed by the level of talent we are able to attract to Evansville and have them perform in such an intimate venue. We’re lucky that Al and Emily enjoy the warmth of the cabin and our audience. I am sure you will agree!

The doors will open at 7pm and the show will start at 8. Seats are $12 and can be reserved online. (we’ll get that reservation system up soon)
