"I HAD THE PRIVILEGE of seeing the first public reading of the Wilderness Plots project and was immediately struck with its emotional impact--the weaving of spoken word and song is highly inventive, and moves toward the creation of a new form that is at once highly accessible and highly dramatic. It moved me to tears and to laughter many times! The combination of talents and voices gives it tremendous strength as a performance piece. I found it extremely compelling and am very much looking forward to seeing it again."
~ Janet Allen, Artistic Director
Indiana Repertory Theatre

"IT IS A RARE AND WONDERFUL event to see a new blended-genre piece work so beautifully in a first time on its feet! Wilderness Plots is already well on its way to capturing something powerful about rural, Midwestern life in a way that is fresh and highly appealing. Thanks for allowing me to see it in its early stage of development."
~ Joel Grynheim, Project Manager
The New Harmony Project

"WILDERNESS PLOTS IS A GIFT to teachers and students of all ages, a chance to build a bridge to the past and better understand the present, to teach history that will be recalled well after the test is taken."
~ Melissa Keller, PhD, Indiana University Bloomington School of Education (specialist in historical education)

KRISTA DETOR is a CoraZong Records recording artist. Originally from California, but currently living in Bloomington, Indiana, she has traveled the world and written down much of what she's seen of the people and places along the way. Her most recent release is the highly acclaimed "Mudshow."

"She would be good on every stage in the world."
~ Rolling Stone

TIM GRIMM is an actor (stage, film, and television) and Wind River recording artist. He lives on an 80-acre farm, not far from where he grew up. Named 2004 Roots-Americana Male Artist of the Year, his latest release "The Back Fields" was Best Americana Album~2006 in The Just Plain Folks Music Awards.

"An artist who never fails to deliver."
~ Dirty Linen

CARRIE NEWCOMER has released ten critically acclaimed albums on Rounder Records and is a national workshop leader and facilitator (songwriting, activism, spiritual vocation). Her song "I Should've Known Better" appeared on Nickel Creek's 2003 Grammy winning album "This Side."

"She's a poet, storyteller, snake-charmer, good neighbor, friend and lover, minister of the wide-eyed gospel of hope and grace."
~ Barbara Kingsolver, Author, Poisonwood Bible

TOM ROZNOWSKI is a singer and songwriter whose original music has been heard from Idaho to Siberia and all stops in between. He has lived most of his life in Indiana. His new CD is entitled "This Place In Time."

"Roznowski doesn't so much channel the voices of his forebears as internalize them in the service of sound."

MICHAEL WHITE's music landed him as a finalist in Musician Magazine's Best Unsigned Bands Competition, and his songs have been covered by artists as well known as Ricky Skaggs. He has produced four albums and continues to write songs and score music for television.

"Michael White's songs combine exceptionally poetic, intelligent lyrics with haunting, compelling melodies, presented with a mesmerizing voice..."
~ Carrie Newcomer, Rounder Recording Artist

SCOTT RUSSELL SANDERS is a writer who lives in the hardwood hill country of southern Indiana. Among his more than twenty books are novels, collections of short stories, and works of personal nonfiction, including Staying Put, Hunting for Hope, and A Private History of Awe. He has taught for more than three decades at Indiana University, where he is a distinguished professor of English.

"The language of these tales is chiseled, spare to the point of folklore: every word carries a lovely weight. Seldom has America's early story been so beautifully told."
~ Publishers Weekly

WILDERNESS PLOTS OVERTURE


THE PLAYERS

The exceptional cast for WILDERNESS PLOTS includes noted singer-songwriters CARRIE NEWCOMER, TIM GRIMM, KRISTA DETOR, TOM ROZNOWSKI, and MICHAEL WHITE, performing songs drawn from the tales of Scott Russell Sanders, creating a timeless show at turns romantic, tragic, elegiac, and comic, compressing entire lifetimes into a few stanzas. Like the most distinctive American folksongs and folktales, WILDERNESS PLOTS arises from the experience of wrestling with a wild, raucous, dangerous, and glorious continent.

Well beyond the scope of a standard "concert," WILDERNESS PLOTS is a moving and powerful evening of entertainment -- unique and truly memorable.

This versatile show can be configured to fit a variety of theatre settings. Utilizing the talents of three to five featured musicians and, .. performances, author Scott Russell Sanders.

Hey - Just wanted to drop you a quick note and invite you to an Acoustic / Singer-Songwriter Open_Mic at Jake's (in Bloomington) every Tuesday evening. A sign-up list is put out at 7pm, and performers start playing at 8pm; PLUS, "Bands" will also be welcome to play and have 45minutes to perform (two slots, starting at 11pm with 15min's to set-up & take-down = 1hr.total).

Hello there! If I've already been in touch on this please bear with me but I'm trying to get the word out about www.indianapolissongwriterscafe.com

I'm working to create a place that ties together all the people, places & events that are relevant for an Indianapolis songwriter or a fan of this kind of music.

Please visit the site and if you've got a moment please add www.myspace.com/indianapolissongwriterscafe to your friends list.

If you'd really like to help spread the word I'd be grateful as can be if you copied the little piece of code from either the ISC website or myspace page to display the banner on your page. Just drop me a line if you'd like to but aren't sure how.
