Willi Carlisle is back. He made a short stopover last year with Mama’s Broke here in toon but this is his full headline show. Support is our very own Rob Heron (solo)
Willi Carlisle is a poet and a folk singer for the people, but his extraordinary gift for turning a phrase isn’t about high falutin’ pontificatin’; it’s about looking out for one another and connecting through our shared human condition.
Born and raised on the Midwestern plains, Carlisle is a product of the punk to folk music pipeline that’s long-fueled frustrated young men looking to resist. After falling for the rich ballads and tunes of the Ozarks, where he lives, he began examining the full spectrum of American musical history.
This insatiable stylistic diversity is clear in his raucous performances, where songs range from sardonic trucker-ballads to the heart-breaking queer waltzes to an existential talkin’ blues about a panic attack in Walmart’s aisle five.
With guitar, fiddle, accordion, banjo, harmonica, rhythm-bones, and Willi’s booming baritone, this is bona-fide populist folk music: Carlisle recognizes that the only thing holding us back from greatness is each other. With a quick wit and big sing-alongs, these folksongs bring us a step closer to breaking down our divides.
“The greatest Americana artist you’ve never heard of. A storytelling titan” –The Guardian
“Part folklorist, part cowboy poet, part Vaudeville entertainer, Willi Carlisle” is “one of the premier songwriters, storytellers, and performers in roots music” – Saving Country Music
