Glad for the return of LOGAN METZ this Friday the 21st- a musician, educator and raconteur whose songwriting spans many genres, from jazz and rock to folk and country, all marked by artful chord changes, a character-centric narrative style, and a wry lyrical wit rooted firmly in the Tom Waits/ Randy Newman school of piano-based storytelling.

Tonight- catch Darren Garvey- highly regarded as a multi-instrumentalist, producer, and collaborator in the indie and folk world. His song ‘Paper Rose’ received honorable mention at the 2026 Rocky Mountain Folks Fest Songwriter Showcase and he is an Everwood Foundation Artist Retreat recipient.

Known for his musical cross-pollination, Darren’s expressive and inventive style has been utilized by a myriad of artists from his Chicago beginnings (Cameron McGill, Ernie Hendrickson, Chicago Farmer, Miles Nielsen) to Colorado’s vibrant music community (Elephant Revival, Daniel Rodriguez, Nathaniel Riley, Bonnie Paine) to the endless song-scattered Wisconsin (Trapper Schoepp, Cory Chisel, Courtney Hartman, Dead Horses, Field Report). Darren calls Grafton Wisconsin home and is a longtime member of transcendental folk outfit Elephant Revival.
