"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.

Daylight in the Swamp is a contemporary bluegrass band based out of Madison, Wisconsin, and is a relatively new band to hit the area music scene, having formed less than two years ago. The band\'s mission is to preserve the hard-driving traditional bluegrass sound, while including some material from other musical styles. Their work can best be described as \"Music with a Bluegrass Accent.\"

Ben Wright, banjo player for nationally recognized bluegrass band The Henhouse Prowlers, had this to say about Daylight in the Swamp: \"We had a great time playing with these guys in Madison!-This band-has tight arrangements, solid harmonies and that guitar player\'s voice is like butter!-

Above the Townis a contemporary bluegrass ensemble, blending a mixture of traditional bluegrass sounds with Celtic influences, jazz, and swing. The band provides a mix of the old with the new, performing music by the masters of bluegrass as well as original material. In 2005, Above the Town was nominated for the Wisconsin Area Music Industry\'s (WAMI) Bluegrass Band of the Year. In 2006, Above the Town was privileged to be one of thirteen bands selected to showcase at the International Bluegrass Music Association Trade Show in Nashville, Tennessee.
