PORTERFIELD CROCKETT ROSENAU

Friday November 6, 2026

CHRIS PORTERFIELD is an American songwriter, guitarist and singer. He currently leads the folk band Field Report. Porterfield started his music career in High School, co-founding the band, Dinner With Greg. He also previously played with DEYARMOND EDISON, a band led by BON IVER frontman Justin Vernon.

JOE CROCKETT is a Milwaukee singer-songwriter best known as the founding voice, guitarist and songwriter behind THE CHAMPIONSHIP, the long-running folk-rock band whose four albums helped establish Crockett as a distinctive presence in Milwaukee’s music scene. He later formed RX DRUGS, pushing his songwriting into darker, more atmospheric territory across two full-length releases.

After years of moving between full-band projects, reunions and occasional stripped-down performances, Crockett is returning to the solo format for a new series of acoustic shows. Drawing on the warm, weathered voice and understated songwriting that have run through his work for more than two decades, these performances will introduce a collection of new solo material alongside selections from his back catalog.

CHRIS ROSENAU is a guitarist and founding member of the seminal instrumental post-rock band PELE, genre-blurring collective COLLECTIONS OF COLONIES OF BEES and experimental rock band VOLCANO CHOIR, alongside Justin Vernon of BON IVER, as well as one half of the improvisational duo Rosenau & Sanborn with Nick Sanborn of SYLVAN ESSO For nearly three decades, he has performed throughout North America, Europe, and Japan. His music draws from the roots of Americana, filtering them through modern composition, experimentation, and technology. Drawing on the physicality of acoustic instruments, the possibilities of electronics, and an expansive sense of space, Rosenau has developed a musical language that is as warm and melodic as it is searching and expansive.

For this set, Rosenau leaves his typical setup behind, reworking familiar musical instincts through an entirely different set of materials. Stripped of familiar tools and habits, the music opens into a more elemental space: acoustic, tactile, and exploratory, with moments of deep resonance and physical weight, while retaining the warmth, melody, and sense of discovery that run through his work.
