Base Camp Hosts Midwest Songwriters

Singer-songwriter Jess Holland

Popular Door County musicians Katie Dahl and Jess Holland will join Chicago singer-songwriter Emily White for a concert at Base Camp Coffee Shop in Sister Bay on April 26 at 7 pm.

Dahl, Holland, and White are Midwestern songwriters with loyal fan bases and multiple accolades to their collective credit. Though they normally perform individually, at Base Camp they will share their songs in an intimate “in-the-round” format, commenting on and adding texture to one another’s work. Dahl, Holland, and White are firmly rooted in the folk tradition, with songs that roam freely to explore country, jazz, and rock traditions.

Local singer-songwriter Katie Dahl is known for the literate candor of her songs and the easy humor of her live performances. She also has two studio albums and an original musical play, Victory Farm, to her credit.

Jess Holland is one of Door County’s favorite performers, a sensitive guitarist and vocalist who plays a thoughtful blend of original songs as well as compositions by her favorite songwriters. She is a member of the Sturgeon Bay-based music groups Deathfolk and Lakeside Fire.

Indie folk-rock touring singer/songwriter Emily White recently garnered multiple accolades for her fourth studio album, Staking Flags in the Valley, which was released in September 2014.

Seating for the concert is limited and first-come, first-served. Refreshments and beverages will be available for purchase. A $10 suggested donation is requested. Base Camp is located at 10904 Highway 42 in Sister Bay, below Ecology Sports. For more information, visit katiedahlmusic.com or call 920.854.7894.
