BILL CAMPLIN BAND REUNION
Thu Aug 11 2016 8pm - $10 @ 224 W Bruce St.
Bill Camplin is arguably the father of the Wisconsin folk scene as well as mentor to scores of young singer/songwriter artists coming up through the ranks. Artists such as Peter Mulvey, Willy Porter, Paul Cebar and others call Bill’s live music club Cafe Carpe, located in Ft Atkinson, WI, home. Bill has an extensive discography spanning past 40 years with several new releases in the works for the year ahead.
Reunion Story In 1974, a group of young Milwaukee musicians accompanied Bill Camplin to Minneapolis to record a live record at the new and state of the art studio “Sound 80”. From those sessions emerged the album “Cardboard Box”. After the album, everyone went their separate ways - getting jobs while raising families. All continued to play music wherever they wound up. All remembered capturing that moment in time with Bill at Sound 80 Studios.
This year marks the 42 anniversary of the making of his landmark album CardBoard Box bringing together the original musicians for a handful of live performances in conjunction with a new live album called Reunion.
Reunion is an album of all new material recorded at a 150 year old barn they call “Ebbott’s Barn” in Eastern Jefferson County by producer/engineers Chris Hanson and Mike Hoffmann. Reunion remembers deeply what brought them together in 1974 yet breaks new musical ground. Come see Reunion at Anodyne.
The band was (and is): Bill Camplin (songs, guitar, vocals) Bob Mueller (drums) an original member of “Woodbine” has spent part of his ensuing years playing with Jim Liban, Steve Cohen and others. Jamie Sheldon (bass) continues to perform with a band in the Boston area noted for their homage to Steely Dan. Robert Knetzger (steel guitar, dobro) now in Seattle, continues to play with various country and blues bands in the Northwest. Jason Klagstad (guitars, vocals) has been an integral part of the Milwaukee music scene and has played on many occasions with Bill over the past 40 years.
