Sam Knutson, Jeff Stehr
Cafe Carpe, Fort Atkinson 18 S. Water St., Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin 53538
media release: Iowa songwriter Sam shares the evening with his friend Milwaukee songwriter Jeff. Sam's most recent album is Donkey Island. He is happy as a pig in *#*@ in a listening room. https://www.youtube.com/watch?
Jeff’s songs are mostly wordplay and present-day doomsday reportage propelled by one drop rhythms and held aloft on ukulele wings and guitar strings. Jamaican ingredients conspire and collaborate with folk, pop, rock and blues influences to get into your head and steal your heart, but all genres are accomplices.
When not performing solo, Jeff (guitar, ukulele, harmonica, vocals) is one half of Still No Tomatoes, a duo project launched in 2022 with his Tritonics bandmate Mike Lizzo (trombone, baritone horn, melodica, vocals).
