Join us tonight for music by Jay Wildner and October Tree from 7:00 - 9:00pm. Jay celebrates his 100th gig tonight!
In 1983, a teenager received his first guitar as a gift. By the end of the same day, he could play along with most songs on mainstream radio. After a fun run with the Madison-area rock band "The Exchange" from 1983 - 1988, he turned down an offer from a Chicago band for a "real" job and raising a family. After a 30+ year hiatus, he appeared publicly at the urging of a friend. Now, after only a year, he has been one of the accidentally busiest musicians in central WI, having played under the stage name "October Tree" at dozens of venues across the state.
October Tree plays an eclectic list of multi-genre covers and autobiographical originals ("Remembering/Everything", "Whenever", "Paradise", etc.) that connect with the listener through soaring, emotionally-expressive vocals and sassy strings presented in a remarkably rhythmic style with the utmost authenticity of just six strings and one voice. Come, relax and enjoy An Evening with October Tree!
