LOU & PETER BERRYMAN
plus STEVE GILLETTE & CINDY MANGSEN

Madison's own Lou & Peter Berryman are a duo that hardly needs an introduction 'round here...but in case you haven't heart of them (??!!!?)...They have released almost twenty recordings and are working on their fourth songbook. Pete Seeger, Tom Paxton and Tom Lehrer count themselves among their fans.

"...Lou and Peter Berryman do to Midwestern sensibilities what Christine Lavin does to stressful New York, and what Tom Lehrer so long ago did to the intellectual pomposities of Cambridge: hoist the norms of everyday culture hilariously on their own petards. Their satires are at once bitingly funny and endearing, wildly absurdist and vividly human. They have the rare ability to make us simultaneously laugh at and care about the people they lampoon."
- Scott Alarik, The Boston Globe

Steve Gillette & Cindy Mangsen have been performing together for 20 years, bringing together their love of traditional music and their wealth of original songs. Accompanying themselves with guitar, concertina and banjo, their live performances are known for rich harmony, compelling songs and a good dose of humor.  

"Steve and Cindy have hit on a combination that consistently produces high quality recordings and entertaining stage shows. Their voices and their styles meld seamlessly with a gentleness and a maturity that is unmatched in the world of folk duos."
- Matt Watroba, Sing Out Magazine

Mad Folk/Wild Hog - Summer Folk 2010INFO ON NEW SUMMER PROGRAM
(2010)

This summer, the dedicated volunteers of MadFolk and Wild Hog in the Woods decided to take a break. Instead of the Folk on State series and Friday nights at the Wil-Mar Center, both folk music organizations have joined for a special summer series during June, July and August. We’re excited to announce that The Rotunda, in Madison’s Overture Center, will be the site of free concerts in June and August. Plus there will be music during Maxwell Street Days, as a collaboration between Madison Folk Music Society and the Madison Songwriters Guild.
Both organizations would like some new volunteers to help keep folk music alive in Madison. There’s not a lot of time commitment required and you’ll hear lots of great music.

*This series is presented by Madison Folk Music Society and Wild Hog in the Woods, and supported in part by the Overture Center for the Arts and  WORT 89.9 FM Community Radio. THANK YOU to these sponsors!
