The Midwest Acoustic Music Festival was founded by Shannon Brunet in 2005 to garner attention for up-and-coming acoustic artists and provide a venue at which to celebrate and foster rising talent. Featuring 12 acoustic music acts from across the Midwest, MAMF became an instant success in its first year, with over 600 people in attendance throughout the day.

Friday, Nov 13: Blake Thomas & Josh Harty (Full Band)
"Sung with resonant soulfulness, the evocatively melancholy title track [Flatlands] ought to become the Midwest's national anthem." -The Village Voice. "Each tune is carefully crafted, focusing on the intricacies of intertwining instruments as well as the poetics of the lyrics... Perhaps most distinctive of those pieces is the voice of Blake Thomas. Like Robert Plant or Eddie Vedder, Thomas creates a sound I fall victim to every time. It takes only one note to recognize the voice and realize I need to hear more." -The Badger Herald

Have you talked to the governor lately?? You can just pick up the phone,dial 608-266-1212 and his friendly staffers willl take your message; " Please make the Jacki Rickert Medical marijuana Act an Executive Order and end patient abuse." They'll be glad to hear from you and you'll be glad you did,because you'll ease the suffering of hundreds of thousands of people
Here in Wisconsin we have a small window of opportunity to reclaim the public's right to use whatever medications,either natural or prerscribed in the maintenance of their health. I'm talking about the Jacki Rickert Medical Marijuana Act. Cannibas hemp has been used as a medicine for centuries. Eli Lilly had many preparations made from hemp that's recorded in their pharmacopeia in the 1920's. The DEA's Law Judge issued a statement that 'In it's natural state, marijuana is the most therapeutically active substance known to man.". Many who are like myself and have neuromuscular ailments are prescribed drugs that are far more harmful to us than the symptoms we are trying to get rid of. For myself it's about not having my kidney's shut down from trying to stop muscle spasms and ending the nerve pains that run down my legs that no drug prescribed by any doctor can ease. Ideally,as a Constitutional Right,we should be able to use any product that has a positive effect on our individual health. Cannibas hemp whether smoked,eaten or vaporized can do that for millions of patients and that right of choice should be ours,not lawmakers. But we find ourselves needing the aide of Lawmakers to get that right returned to us. If you support a person's right to use cannibas hemp or use it yourself, PLEASE contact you local Senator and State Representitive at; http://www.legis.state.wi.us and tell them to make the Jacki Rickert Medical Marijuana Act a law. Thank-you
