"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.

Will Branch plays old-timey American music. Milwaukee\'s weekly the Shepherd Express called his duo with Dave Fox \"some of the best porch music this city has to offer...their music suggests seasoned tastes from times and places far-removed from here.\" Branch\'s solo set is built around songs that have been around for decades, as well as his own originals. His new CD, \"Press On,\" is receiving airplay on Wisconsin Public Radio - the recording features a who\'s-who of Milwaukee folk musicians. Branch has played around 2,000 shows in the past ten years. He\'s performed at festivals, in bars, on boats, in the street, in coffeehouses, for young and old and all ages in-between.
