SUMMARY:Jack Klatt - Big River Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Musical missionary and tireless troubadour Jack Klatt isn’t one to be easily categorized or relegated to a narrow niche. He comes across as a young man with a wizened and worldly perspective\, an artist who possesses a timeless sensibility of both place and purpose. Yet\, his artistic integrity extends to more than simply his songs. It embodies both execution and intent. The way he’s mastered his deft finger-picking technique and used that sturdy approach to bring his material an authenticity reminiscent of the most revered musicians and storytellers. \nA product of the nation’s heartland\, Klatt was born and bred in the twin cities. He dropped out of college before spending the next six years pursuing his wanderlust and hitch hiking across the country with nothing but a backpack and a Martin guitar. He eventually made his way overseas\, where he slept under the stars\, traded songs for spending money and enjoyed a life typical of one who’s a drifter and bohemian. All the while\, he made it his mission to proffer the songs of the American masters\, in the process\, he found himself captivated by the full gamut of archetypical American music\, and began to refashion it to suit his own style.

SUMMARY:Tim Harmston Comedy Night - Big River Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Tim Harmston delivers a unique brand of stand-up comedy\, deeply rooted in his Midwest origins. His performances are a thoughtful blend of observational humor and delightful absurdity\, reflecting a sensibility shaped by his upbringing in Northwest Wisconsin.  Harmston’s comedic approach is both intelligent and accessible\, often exploring the nuances of daily life\, relationships\, and the quirks of human behavior with a distinctive\, understated charm.  \n \nImprov classes at Chicago’s Second City piqued Tim’s interest in being on stage and he quickly shifted toward stand-up because he couldn’t stop writing jokes. Open mics in and around Minnesota and Wisconsin turned into paid gigs and in 2003 Tim won Acme Comedy Company’s Funniest Person in the Twin Cities competition\, something he will be sure to tell people when he’s an old man in a bar. \n \nHis career includes notable television appearances on Late Show with David Letterman and Comedy Central’s Live at Gotham. He further showcased his comedic prowess on the clean comedy channel  Dry Bar Comedy with his special entitled “Zoom Out.” A consistent voice on Wisconsin Public Radio’s “Big River Radio Wave\,” Harmston has also released several successful comedy albums with his latest title “Frozen Badger” debuting at number one on the Apple Music comedy charts. You can also hear many of Tim’s jokes streaming on Sirius XM satellite radio. Since starting his stand-up journey in 2002\, Tim Harmston has cultivated a reputation for his original material and engaging stage presence\, earning him a dedicated following across the country.

SUMMARY:Julie Patchouli - Big River Theatre
DESCRIPTION:For over 30 years and 5\,000 global concerts\, Julie Patchouli has defined the heart of the #1 charting folk duo Patchouli & Terra Guitarra. A professional multi-instrumentalist since age 18\, Julie built a legendary career alongside her husband and musical partner\, master guitarist Bruce Hecksel. After years of touring\, they settled in Maiden Rock\, WI\, in 2003\, becoming pillars of the music and art community through 22 years of concerts and exhibits.  In 2007 they created a second musical project\, Terra Guitarra that took off on the international scene winning “Best Instrumental Album of the Year” for Of Sea & Stars. The folk power couple joyfully crafted their sound of Folk meets Flamenco that City Pages described like “taking a yoga class in a field of running mustangs” with poetic lyrics\, sparkling vocals\, rhythmic steel strings and soulful Spanish guitar creating songs that “inspire the human spirit” -Chicago Tribune. \n \nThrough the years\, in the background of their thriving musical lives\, Bruce was also painting and many of his pieces became album artwork. In 2015 they created a multi-media production\, The Landscape of Guitar\, The Animated Painting Concert Experience\, a live music performance with projected animation of Hecksel’s Terra Guitarra® acrylic paintings of “guitar landscapes” where every element is a guitar shape\, colorfully glittering like stained glass that creates a vivid concert of frequency\, color and sound. \n \nPatchouli & Terra Guitarra presented this show several times at The Big River Theatre including in 2020 during the pandemic\, when they performed a monthly live stream concert from the empty theatre.  \nIn Spring 2025 they opened the Terra Guitarra Fine Art Gallery in Maiden Rock where Bruce painted and exhibited The Landscape of Guitar pieces as he created them on the canvas. \n \nTheir creative journey was a shared one until July 2025\, when Bruce passed away following a three-year battle with stage IV cancer. \n \nIn the wake of his passing\, Julie returned to the studio to complete their 23rd recording\, releasing the album Everything It Takes in April 2026. \n \n“The Big River theatre has been so supportive and formative in our artistic careers\,” Julie says\, “that I want to celebrate that connection to Bruce’s life in the Arts.” \n \nThis special performance of The Landscape of Guitar\, honors that legacy\, featuring fan-favorite classics alongside the new album songs\, while sharing Bruce’s vibrant animated paintings—a moving tribute to a partnership that transformed the landscape of international guitar folk.

SUMMARY:Forrest McCurren - Big River Theatre
DESCRIPTION:You may recognize Forrest from the CBS competition ‘The Road’ – but this time Forrest and Margaret McCurren will return to Big River Theatre for another night of songs\, story\, and spats of poetic soliloquy. It’s ALWAYS a good time with Forrest and Margaret – come on down!! Forrest McCurren comes from the heart of the heartland\, where the foothills of the Ozarks meet the Big Muddy: The Middle-of-Missouri. Blazing his own trail while stylistically tipping his hat to the songwriting giants of the past\, McCurren wields the magic of lyricism to cast a light on the many intricacies of everyday life set against vignettes of Middle America. Tackling topics such as: wise words from waitresses\, heartbroken high school football standouts\, and tattooed trailer park lovers\, McCurren writes songs for good people that got bad grades in school\, are drunk on dreams\, and still trying to figure out if life is sour or sweet.

SUMMARY:Local Artist Spotlight: Janakey - Big River Theatre
DESCRIPTION:David Janakey cut his teeth as a folk artist in the Midwest DIY circuit\, honing his blue-collar heartbreaker in basements and bars across the frozen tundra and beyond. Then a landmark 2023 link with the Eau Claire noise rock band Gash unearthed a joyful and unholy country rock sound\, thereafter simply called Janakey. Eclectic but tried-and-true\, Janakey’s fuzzed out honky tonk recalls the classics with a dose of rock realness\, easy to love\, hard to miss\, and impossible to forget.

SUMMARY:Hiroya Tsukamoto - Big River Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Experience the spellbinding artistry of Hiroya Tsukamoto\, a Japanese-born master of fingerstyle guitar and evocative storytelling\, as he returns to Big River Theatre to perform songs from his newest album\, Rainshadow. On this latest project\, Tsukamoto uses his composing and songwriting talents to hone in on crafting compelling\, memorable\, and singable melodies.

Zealously recommended!”   -Jazz Review.com

SUMMARY:Dan Schwartz & Nick Salisbury Album Release Show - Big River Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Guitarist Dan Schwartz and bassist Nick Salisbury play diversely informed instrumentals\, formally unpredictable but always songlike\, delicate but never wispy. Longtime associates\, Schwartz and Salisbury make up half of the groovy and eclectic Neighborhood Quartet. On their debut album as a duo\, the forthcoming Gloaming\, they divide compositional duties and play together with the refinement and responsiveness that have made them busy and respected players in the Twin Cities and beyond. Schwartz has a beautiful\, singing tone; a sophisticated harmonic vocabulary; and expressive command of dynamics. Salisbury—dexterous and pocketed\, distinctive whether risk-taking or restrained—is one of the Twin Cities’ most called-on bassists and has toured extensively with songwriters Ryan Bingham and Brian Fallon. Steeped in jazz harmony but guided\, too\, by a passion for folk and R&B\, the duo’s contemplative\, easeful music and sculptural melodies are born of long experience in music and life but driven by a sustaining spirit of exploration.
