Special Birthday Concert Performers include Lou and Peter Berryman, Ken Longuist, Jim Schwall. The Hog opened its doors 30 years ago this month, so we are bringing back some more old favorites for a really big show. During this eclectic concert, each performer will do 20 minutes in the first set and then they will round-robin for the second set. We hear there will be lots of songs about anniversaries and longevity. Note the early start and special admission price. Lou and Peter Berryman are known throughout the Midwest and the East Coast, especially New England. They specialize in songs that make humorous observations about the human condition and have an uncanny ability to make plays on words and sounds. Lou and Peter started playing together in their first folky band in high school in 1964. Wikipedia says, “Mostly, Peter writes the lyrics and Lou Ken Lonnquist is a funny, enjoyable songwriter from Madison, he has a repertoire of serious and humorous songs he has written, both for adults and children, including many environmental songs. Ken has written several children's musicals produced by the Children’s Theatre of Madison. He began writing songs at seven and took up he guitar at twelve. Back in the 80's, he toured widely as the Minstrel for the Environment. His charm and energy as a live performer remain the heart of his work. Jim Schwall, a past candidate for Madison Mayor, was a member of the Chicago-based Siegal-Schwall blues band back in the 1960'-70s and has continued to write songs and record albums. The band was a staple on WFMT's long-running folk show in Chicago, "The Midnight Special." He earned his doctoral degree in music at UW Madison, plays the Mandolin and is an excellent guitarist.Help spread the word!
