Category: Wild Hog in the Woods presents

Farthest Field is a duo that consists of Caitlin Vitale-Sullivan on fiddle and Jacob Grace on guitar. Ms. Sullivan, who comes from Idaho and enjoys the outdoors, went to Scandinavia where she found her love of traditional music and where she earned a bachelor's in ecology and was "studying the connection between the Kulning (Swedish cow calling music) and landscape." Jacob Grace discovered the guitar at the age of 10. Here at the UW, he has developed an interest in American folk music and how the stories connect with the living world, spread and take on a new life from those who play them,

MikeMcDougal
.
For Mike McDougal, performing is a way of life. The Arkansas-based folksinger and songwriter has been playing music publicly for more than 50 years. Mike grew up in Chicago and began playing cello at the age of ten. He switched to guitar in 1964, when the Beatles captured the world's imagination. He lived in Madison for a time while working at UW and blessed the Hog's stage many times solo and in a duo with Perry Baird as The Buzzards. Cutting his teeth on the Chicago folk scene of the 1970's alongside the likes of Steve Goodman and John Prine, McDougal has a repertoire from folk to jazz and country, including original songs to make you smile or shed a tear.
