Susan Werner
Sun Oct 4th ~ 3pm

Susan Werner. With six albums, an active touring career throughout the U.S., and a string of accolades from the likes of the Washington Post, Village Voice, and New Yorker, Susan Werner has become one of the defining artists of folk music. Her eclectic songs, delivered with a sassy wit and classic midwestern charm, slide effortlessly among folk, jazz, and pop genres. With a quick wit and slightly cynical brand of humor, she manages to be both self-deprecating and supremely self-confident. Using the power of her classically trained voice, combined with excellent musicianship and engrossing songs, Werner creates a refreshing rapport with her audiences.

"Susan Werner, a clever songwriter and an engaging performer, brings literacy and wit back to popular song." -- The New Yorker

Slaid Cleaves
Sun Nov 15th
$25 members / $28 non-members
For all of his command of song craft, Cleaves would still be working as a pharmaceutical guinea pig were it not for his warm, gently burred tenor. He phrases like a grifter trying to croon his low-down past away — and writes like he knows he never will. When his new folkie peers see angels over every other barista's shoulder, Cleaves sees through sentiment. "I've been chasing grace but grace ain't so easily found," he sings on "One Good Year," just one of many subtle, momentary stays against the dark side of his heart. That heart doesn't bleed easily — but when it does, it bleeds true.
~ Roy Kasten, River Front Times, St Louis

David Roth
Sun Nov 22nd
$22 members / $25 non-members
We're always delighted to welcome Mansion favorite David Roth back to our special venue. This will be the fifteenth annual "Sunday-before-Thanksgiving" matinee with our friend from Cape Cod. David's songs have found their way to Carnegie Hall, the United Nations, several Chicken Soup for the Soul books, the Kennedy Center, Peter, Paul, & Mary concerts, NASA's Goddard Space Center (his ”Rocket Science” went up on the Space Shuttle on 5/11/09!), 10 CDs on the Wind River and Stockfisch (Germany) labels, and countless venues in this and other countries. The Chicago native embraces his 22nd year of full-time music-making, and his latest CD “Practice Makes Progress” was released last year. David's music strikes many chords, hearts, and minds with his unique songs, offbeat observations, sense of the hilarious, moving stories and powerful singing and subject matter. Join us for another afternoon you won't forget.
