You’re looking for a reason to get out aren’t you? It’s Spring! (took long enough grumble grumble) Midterms are finishing up this week. Exciting things abound! True Endeavors is helping you tap into some of that warm weather energy and say ‘Screw You, Wisconsin. I’m going out!’:
Scroll down for chances to WIN A PAIR OF TICKETS and hang out with Ellis Paul, Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, The Handsome Family, and Trampled by Turtles!
Win Tix!: Ellis Paul often teaches song-writing classes in which he provides students with a six step process to get started. Pick someone, anyone; you can reveal them or not, and answer the last two steps:
5) Choose one non-human metaphor describing the person
6) Write one line of dialogue that conveys the way the person speaks.

Summer has rolled in as tour buses roll away but we’ve got a couple of good ones for you this week..
Monday May 26

True Endeavors and Muzzle of Bees present: LANGHORNE SLIM AND THE WAR EAGLES with THE BUILDERS & THE BUTCHERS
“I’m not sure that there’s’ any other kind, but the songs I write are love songs. Some are literal, about specific events, people and relationships in my life; a form of therapy, self-help for the flowers and the crap along the road of life.” -Langhorne Slim
If you’re in to Jason Isbell, Ryan Adams, or Steve Earle you also like (trust me)..
THE EVERYBODYFIELDS with special guests MARTHA BERNER & KATIE SAWICKI
“..deeply rooted in americana, bluegrass, and classic country..Here you still find the slow, sad sounds of halfway there, but there is a new strength to the sound, a vein of rock and punk that is so well hidden, you don’t even know it’s there” -LastFM
