To quote the Badger Herald: "Art Paul Schlosser is one of Madison’s most popular and recognizable cultural figures, musical or otherwise. From his regular public-access show to his consistent appearances as a State Street busker, Art Paul has made something of a reputation for himself as one of the city’s most original musical personalities." AND Louka Patenaude is one of Madison's premiere jazz guitarists, but is equally adept in rock and country guitar styles. http://www.myspace.com/areyouoptimistic No cover, drink specials and $2 Miller Lite Tap www.myspace.com/madtoastlive
