Dosey Doe Coffee House presents Danny Schmidt & Sam Baker & Carrie Elkin.

Danny Schmidt is an authentic timeless troubadour in the tradition of Townes Van Zandt, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, and Dave Carter, who delivers his craft with a quiet power, a level of complexity, and an underlying humanity that is truly rare. His guitar work is effortless and sparkling, his arrangements are fresh and unpredictable, his voice ageless. “There’s a quality – an easygoing, lyrical storytelling manner that eschewsstridency or pretension – that all folksingers strive for and few attain. But Danny has it in abundance” Jeff McCord, Texas Monthly

Sam Baker's is a hard-hewn grace, transcendentally wrought with grit, brutally chiaroscuroed by a weary deliverance sought in common lives. His latest album, Cotton, hits all the right notes, start to finish. Sam has never been in better voice. His songwriting is as poetic and personal as ever, and as usual, leaning towards the spiritual side.

Carrie Elkin (pictured) is a soul- ful singer with a gypsy spirit – a songwriter with a keen eye. Inspired by her travels & many places she has called home: garnered attention at prestigious songwriting contests.   “We have never seen a performer so in love with the act of singing. Onstage Elkin was simply a force of nature.”
