 tel\nEvent Date Begin: 2010-06-10\nEvent Date End: 2010-06-10\n\nJeremy Me
 ssersmith will be filling the Red Room with his sweet sounds on June 10th.
  His songs have been compared to artists of both contemporary times and th
 e past\, from Sufjan Stevens all the way back to The Beach Boys. Kaiser Ca
 rtel will also be playing\, completing the night with their modest feel an
 d low-fi vibe.  To call Jeremy Messersmith a musician is half-truth: He's 
 also a storyteller\, who has carefully crafted a trilogy of songs that nar
 rate life. His first full-length release The Alcatraz Kid is a moving coll
 ection of acoustic-driven lullabies with titles like &ldquo\;Novocain&rdqu
 o\; and &ldquo\;Beautiful Children&rdquo\; that innocently question the pu
 rpose of things to come. The integrity of these delicate songs immediately
  struck a cord with critics and fans alike\, and captured the attention of
  Semisonic's Dan Wilson\, who offered to produce Messersmith's follow-up a
 lbum\, The Silver City.   The Silver City was a natural progression in sou
 nd and reflection: the compositions grew fuller and more dynamic with a cl
 assic-pop feel inspired by the Beach Boys and Beatles: While the topics fo
 cused on midlife struggles with tracks like &ldquo\;Dead End Job&rdquo\; a
 nd &ldquo\;Miracles.&rdquo\; Local and national attention soon followed wi
 th NPR and college stations around the country\, followed by U.S. tours an
 d sold-out shows in New York\, Chicago and Minneapolis.  Kaiser Cartel are
  the dynamic duo of Courtney Kaiser & Benjamin Cartel. Each previously lea
 ders of their own indie bands\, they met on March 4th four years ago and f
 ormed KaiserCartel when they joined forces to tour the country that summer
 .  They self-released an EP (Double Standard) and toured throughout the US
  and UK on their own before signing to bluhammock music late last year. Ma
 rch Forth\, their debut album &ndash\; was produced by Matt Hales (aka aqu
 alung) and mixed by Matt and Ken Thomas (Sigur Ros) - and is full of low-f
 i\, harmony-heavy\, bittersweet songs full of charm.\n\nStart time: 8:00pm
