Willi Carlisle Watch | Listen With a heavy-duty catalog of new material for a career first d ouble album\, The Universal Bubba marks a half dozen releases for folksi nger Willi Carlisle and reaches new heights with the added accelerant of first time producer Tyler Childers. In an all-time DIY effort\, Childer s and his band convened to a makeshift home studio nestled in the Bywate r District of New Orleans for two weeks to cut 17 tracks that expand Car lisle’s sonic scrapbook and capture the off-kilter characters living in his songs. “I think this one goes to outer space\,” says Carlisle. “I th ink this is the widest range of influences that I’ve ever had. It touche s on funk\, it touches on Americana\, Cajun\, oldtime\, and experimental music.” With Childers’ band behind him\, Carlisle embraced the freedom to wander across genres both familiar and new\, testing out instrumentat ion and toying with the surreality of traditions being turned on their h ead. “It feels like getting drunk at the Civil War reenactment\, or crui sing at the cattle auction\, or doing molly at the square dance\,” says Carlisle. “It’s the first time I’ve ever used synthesizers and double el ectric guitars. There’s also more fretless 19th century style banjo on i t than any record I’ve ever made.” Exploration aside\, Carlisle’s missio n as a folksinger largely remains the same - documenting the stories and struggles of the people and balancing the humor and hope of existence. “I want to make a universal folk music. Songs for all kinds of weirdos\, ” says Carlisle. “With the idea that there is nobody that doesn’t have f olk songs and everyone deserves folk songs. I want to write songs that p rove the old weird America didn’t go anywhere\, that we are living and d ying for it everyday. I believe there’s noble work to do in that context . That if we feel despair\, we don’t need to because there’s so much goo d work to do.” A top candidate for encapsulating the energy of The Unive rsal Bubba\, “Gas Station” is a driving recollection of life on the road with a sing-along chorus. Created largely on the fly and beginning with Childers’ jokingly referring to a knife-fight\, the end result was Carl isle’s only co-write with his producer on the record. “We sat in a circl e with pen\, paper\, instruments\,” says Carlisle\, “Tyler suggested\, ‘ goodle days’ instead of ‘good old days.’ We kept shaping verses\, agreei ng that my choruses were working. Suddenly I realized\, this was a co-wr ite! But the red light was already on. We were co-writing and recording at the same time. Wild as hell.” Of the anarchist anthem “The Master’s H ammer”\, Childers wanted a pure\, essential folk song ringing out with h armonica\, banjo and three part harmonies. ”I was trying to boil my ideo logy down into something I can sing for my friends\,” says Carlisle. The title tracks sprawl gloriously in two parts\, giving praise to do-it-yo urselfers that corral the cosmos into being. Carlisle sings for “booty s haking rock and rollers” and “small town hellraisers” and “unofficial ma yors” the world over. Taking on a project of this size with Tyler Childe rs as debut producer requires hard work\, camaraderie and supreme self c onfidence. Undeterred by the challenge and grounded in his beliefs\, Car lisle has proved that it really does “take a Universal Bubba doin’ it fo r themselves.” Tall Tall Trees Watch | Listen Tall Tall Trees is the mus ical id of songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Mike Savino\, a pioneer in the realm of experimental\, DIY banjo music. Accompanied by his trust y Banjotron 6500\, a highly customized\, electrified banjo and effects p edal setup\, Savino has wowed audiences since the 2009 debut of his self -titled album with his eclectic and innovative blend of psychedelic folk \, rock and world music. His work seems to actively evade comfortable de finition\, upon first listen one will recognize the tenderness of Cat St evens\, the melancholy introspection of Elliott Smith\, the anthemic psy chedelia of Pink Floyd\, and a deep abiding respect for Earl Scruggs. Sa vino often performs solo\, showcasing his fleet-footed loop pedal master y\, as well as alongside long-time collaborator and fellow innovator\, K ishi Bashi. He has recently collaborated with fellow psych-banjo maestro JD Pinkus of the Butthole Surfers\, releasing Ponder Machine\, a psyche delic banjo opus on the Shimmy Disc label. Tall Tall Trees latest releas e and 5th LP\, Stick to the Mystical I\, featuring a collaboration with Josiah Wolf of the band Why? is out now on Joyful Noise Recordings.\n\nT ickets: https://turntableindy.com/willi-carlisle-10-28-2026-indianapolis \n\nhttps://findlocal.community/event/e30b6a31-1aeb-40fc-9bdc-86061e74d6 3d LOCATION:Turntable\, 6281 N College Ave\, Indianapolis\, IN 46220 URL:https://findlocal.community/event/e30b6a31-1aeb-40fc-9bdc-86061e74d63 d STATUS:CONFIRMED SEQUENCE:0 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
