"Permutations of Red Pine"


September 2026



A Red Pine tree was planted at the corner of 212 Merry Street in the late 60s that evolved over the decades into a cooperative household. We are making it a place for comity and creativity; Clarity and the imagination; we change detritus of early 21st century late stage capitalism into art, shrine, paintings, music, sculptures, urban Permaculture and homesteading experiments. We appreciate the used, the worn out, ever crumbling and reassembling; as we all are all the time.

Freddy Faggot has been sharing his trademarked brand of strange, sarcastic, snotty and sweet acoustic music with madison\'s many-faceted music scene for over five years. His song topics have ranged from brutalizing police to pagan spirituality to various bodily functions. Including, but not exclusive to: love.

Charlemagne is Noahjohn singer Carl Johns. For the most part, the music is pop, sometimes borrowing elements of upbeat folk, roots-rock and droning psychedelia. Nevertheless, the songs have a certain sensibility and structure that share a common lineage with country. Charlemagne recently toured England with a 6-piece band. This performance will be as an acoustic duo. Ladybird will accompany with voice, triangle and tambourine.

Gal n Lad: Wisconsin pop magic with a somewhat Japanese sensibility. Keyboard, guitar, and drums. Two gals. One lad. Sometimes they wear motorcycle helmets. Influences range from circus
arrangements to Sam and Dave.
