There are moments in Caley Conway’s Latest album, Partner…when the ever-busy Milwaukee singer-songwriter finds herself caught in the humdrum duties of daily life. There are things to do—or not—people to see—or not—and the ones and zeros of technology to attend to. And then, suddenly, she’s off and dreaming, belly laughing with a distant friend or considering taking up “the work of birds.” When she comes back down to Earth, more often than not, she finds bliss in a comforting middle ground. “There aren’t enough hours in the day, I’ve counted,” Conway sings early in the record, before slyly adding, “For loving you.”
Dreams, and the sometimes lovely, sometimes painful realities that anchor them, are subjects Conway knows a thing or two about. The past decade has found her cutting a constant but elusive figure in the Milwaukee music scene and beyond, sharing local stages with Field Report and Julia Blair, sharing national stages with Phoebe Bridgers and Julien Baker, and releasing a steady stream of stellar solo work.
Lee Ketch is a singer songwriter from Bartlett, IL. While serving as a member of countless Chicago bands including Mooner, he has stepped forward with a recent solo release, SPIRITUAL MILK FOR AMERICAN BABES. On this record, wild improvisation meets “heartwarming, lived-in” songwriting (Chicago Reader) as Ketch welcomes a host of collaborators to flesh out skeletons of songs into adventurous experiments punctured by moments of folk rock. The recently released new singles “La Sagrada Familia” and “I Can’t Love You”. The full band comprised of Hannah Bureau on violin, Nick Harris on bass and synthesizer, Ethan Parcell on drums and clarinet and Alec Watson on keyboards will join him.
