Help Find This Missing Band!
Ticklepenny Corner was a great little folky band from Wisconsin that I first saw at Cornerstone Music Festival. Unfortunately you really missed this missing band and they never got famous and then faded into obscurity. They last played about 3 years ago and despite persistent googling I have not found any new music. Noah Riemer, the main songwriter, did go on to play drums for The Urban Hillbilly Quartet as well as writing & directing a short film but I have found no new songs. That's a dirty shame 'cuz he was a heckuva songwriter as evidenced by this tune sung by his sister Beth. Any info you may have about the wherabouts of Noah Riemer or the rest of Ticklepenny Corner would be much appreciated.

Noah did a show at the local high school auditorium about a year ago to "try out" some new material and it was wild! I taped it but that is not for public consumption; that belongs to him. I really wish that something would come of that because those 3 little CD's are not enough.
I did find a CD by Michael Knott & Noah called Mother Nation that you can find at Knott's website for $10. Noah said that I should have heard the demo before the record company got a hold of it.
Finding that led to buying a CD that is attributed to Michael Knott called Hearts of Care. The suprise is that this is really 2/3 Noah and Beth and 1/3 Michael Knott. Noah brings out the best of Knott. A simple but beautiful CD.
I was told by Aaron and Noah not to mention the casette that I found at the local thrift store of their first project. I am not at home to pull it out but I think that it was called Drummer's Surprise or something like that.
So, yeah, I concur; that's a dirty shame.
