"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.

Corey Hart plays the music you wish you'd grown up to - an eclectic blend of folk, rock, and a little bit of soul. This Wisconsinite's earthy sound will tantalize your eardrums while his stage presence will captivate your eyes.

After only a few shows in his adopted hometown of Madison, WI this Berklee dropout found himself rising to the top of the local music scene. Hart recently earned the title of Madison's Songwriter of the Year.

Shortly after his award-winning performance, Corey spent some time recording at Smart Studios. His resulting new EP "Words Like Wildfire" is certain to bring national attention. Featuring stripped down production that emphasis substance over studio tricks "Words Like Wildfire" captures his awesome voice and amazing songwriting.

"Hart is out to make folk that's not about easy listening, that suggests the intensity of real life." - The Isthmus

Jeff Mitchell is a one man show from Decorah, Iowa. His songs perfectly capture the sound of the Midwest, yet his unique, off-kilter voice and instrumentation defy the traditional singer-songwriter formula. He specializes in fingerstyle guitar and plays kick-drum, analog synth bass pedals, and a sampler with his feet during his shows He claims influences that range from country-blues greats Elizabeth Cotten and Mississippi John Hurt to experimentalists like Ween and Mr. Bungle. His lyrics offer abstract impressions of small-town life, love, sex, and power.
