Fireside Coffeehouse Concert: Deathfolk
Date: Saturday, January 27, 2018
Sturgeon Bay duo Deathfolk is made up of Jess Holland and Nick Hoover. Initially brought together by their mutual love of sad songs and murder ballads, Holland and Hoover’s collaboration plumbs those “deathfolk” roots as well as striking out into the territory of thoughtful Americana music. Deathfolk’s compelling songs — featuring banjo, acoustic and electric guitar, and impossibly tight harmonies — explore themes of love, loss, and a deep appreciation of the natural world. The duo recently completed work on their self-titled debut album, financed in part by a successful crowdfunding campaign.
St. Norbert Distinguished Lecture Series Presents: Latina/o Theologies and Aesthetics of Justice: Origins, Present and Future Possibilities
Featured St. Norbert’s College Lecturer: Professor Gerardo Rodríguez
Date: Saturday, January 27, 2018
Dr. Gerardo Rodríguez will discuss Latina/o theologies, which have their origins in the initial experience of contact and conquest with Spanish colonizers. In this presentation, Rodríguez will cover briefly the experience of Latinas/os, the first Latin American Episcopal Conference after Vatican II, and contemporary reflections on the topic. The dynamics of Latina/o theologies will be considered by reflecting on the significance of Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe and localized commitments to justice. Gerardo Rodríguez earned his Ph.D. in early Christianity from St. Louis University. He is currently Assistant Professor of Theology and Religious Studies at St. Norbert College.
Movies at The Door: Pelé: Birth of a Legend
Date: Friday, January 26, 2018
Pelé is known around the world—he’s a national hero in Brazil, and he’s an international sports legend who changed the game of soccer forever. But before he was an icon, he was a kid from the slums of São Paulo, so poor that he couldn’t afford a real soccer ball. This biographical drama chronicles Pelé’s meteoric rise from scrubbing floors to support his family, to honing his electrifying playing style on the streets, to leading Brazil’s national team to its first World Cup victory in 1958, when Pelé was just 17 years old. Featuring Vincent D’Onofrio and Brazilian musical star Seu Jorge.
Recycled Percussion
Date: Tuesday, January 23, 2018
Since Justin Spencer formed Recycled Percussion in 1995—to perform in a high school talent show in New Hampshire—the four-man band has become a national phenomenon. They call their music “junk rock,” and they create it by turning ladders, buckets, trash cans, car parts, vacuums, and power tools into percussion instruments. Recycled Percussion first gained national attention after appearances in “USA Today” and on “America’s Got Talent.” In addition to playing thousands of shows in over 15 countries, this unlikely quartet has also made guest appearances on “Carson Daly,” “The Today Show,” “China’s Got Talent,” and the Latin Grammy Awards.

St. Norbert Distinguished Lecture Series Presents: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Health & Happiness
Featured St. Norbert’s College Lecturer: Professor Lucy Arendt
Date: Saturday, January 20, 2018
Dr. Lucy Arendt, Professor of Business Administration at St. Norbert College, considers the many relationships among humor, health, and happiness. Can humor keep us from getting ill or reduce the extent of an illness? Can humor heal us or make us happy? Are happiness and health connected? In her lecture, Dr. Arendt will address these questions. She’ll also discuss why not all types of humor are created equal, and why the kind of humor matters when it comes to health and happiness. At St. Norbert College, Dr. Arendt teaches strategic management, organizational behavior, and leadership.

Fireside Coffeehouse Concert: Dead Horses
Date: Saturday, January 13, 2018
Milwaukee-based folk band Dead Horses have cultivated a soulful roots sensibility based around the powerful literary and musical force of frontwoman/songwriter Sarah Vos. Raised on Bible hymns by her preacher father, Vos’ backstory sounds more like that of an old Mississippi bluesman than a young Wisconsin folksinger. Despite their youth, Vos and her collaborator, bassist Daniel Wolff, have crafted a timeless sound that’s informed as much by early American prose as it is by modern Americana music. Named a “Wisconsin Band To Watch” by the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Dead Horses tour tirelessly, performing with bands like Trampled by Turtles, Mandolin Orange, and Elephant Revival. Dead Horses swept the 2017 WAMI Awards, taking home “Best Americana/Bluegrass Artist,” “Best Female Vocalist,” and “Best Album of the Year” for their September 2016 release “Cartoon Moon.”
