“

“Best known for putting an innovative and very personal stamp on the worlds of bluegrass, folk and roots music, the mandolinist, singer and composer also ventures regularly into the classical-music realm. The 2012 MacArthur Foundation “genius grant” winner tours with the popular groups Nickel Creek and the Punch Brothers, performs with symphony orchestras and presents solo concerts,” (Chicago Symphony Orchestra).

“The challenges inherent in Thile’s interpretive art are slightly different, however, when he is playing Bach solo. The electrifying new Bach: Sonatas & Partitas Vol. 2 shows that in the years since Nonesuch released the first volume, in 2013, Thile has grown exponentially as an artist. He’s even more fluid on the instrument (hard as that is to believe!), particularly on the breakneck, chase-scene tempos that are a specialty. He’s further refined his easygoing phrasing, his innate gift for framing Bach’s run-on narratives in crisp paragraphs. His lines seem to become almost instantly airborne, propelled by a sweet, singing quality. (Chicago Symphony Orchestra).

Elizabeth Moen

Saturday, February 21st @ 7:30 PM

A hometown favorite makes her return as we set the stage to welcome Elizabeth Moen back to town. Elizabeth’s songwriting roots extend to The Mill’s open mic nights where she honed her craft and was a strong voice in the Iowa City music scene. To invite her back to town is a real treat, “As she moves in to songs off her new album, people cheer and hoot, their arms wrapped around love one’s who want to sway to the music. Mixing what people know with her new material, she showcases where her music is going, leaning in to Lake Shore Dive vibes with a voice sultrier than Amy Winehouse. The venue is huge but she has no problem filling it, her vocals reaching the back wall as if they were made for this moment. Years of traveling performing in venues around the world has paid off for Elizabeth. Her work ethic is unmatched and it’s obvious when she opens her mouth and let’s heartfelt lyrics fall out, her vibrato covering a scale of notes only the best musician can hit… she’s talented and unique, her style unmatched by any in the music industry,” (Hooligan Mag).

FOR FANS OF: Lucinda Williams, John Prine, Neko Case, Sharon Van Etten, Brittany Howard, Jeff Tweedy, and Sheryl Crow.
