Blue Devil Productions is proud to present Shane Leonard with opener Marielle Allschwang, on Thursday, January 28th, at 8:00 pm in The Great Hall, located on the upper level of the Memorial Student Center at UW-Stout.
Shane Leonard is a songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist based in Eau Claire. As a well-traveled indie-folk musician, he has done it all, from playing with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, learning old folk songs in Appalachia, and opening for Counting Crows with his group Kalispell.
Marielle Allschwang is a vocalist and multi-instrumentalist based in Milwaukee. She has an ethereal, powerful avant-garde folk sound. Marielle and her band, the Visitations, released an album titled "Precession of a Day: The World of Mary Nohl" in September 2019. It is an ode to women artists and preserving the natural world, illuminating the work of Milkwaukee visual artist Mary Nohl.

Create a measurable goal - instead of saying, “I want to be healthier,” or “I want to be happier,” make a goal like, “I will eat vegetables at lunch and dinner,” or “I will make time for myself two Saturday’s each month.”
Choose a specific goal - Limiting your resolutions and focusing on one specific one at a time can keep you from getting overwhelmed.
Identify clear steps - similar to tip number 1, having a plan with specific action items will help you stick to your resolutions.
Plan for obstacles - allow yourself to fail and fall short some days and prepare yourself for a dip in motivation. All these things are completely normal.
Start when you’re ready - No need to start right away on January 1st. Don’t put it off thinking you have all year, but at the same time don’t force yourself to do something you aren’t ready to commit to yet.
Start with small steps - Starting small will help reduce burnout and remember that change is a process. Avoid repeating past failed goals or modifying them and putting your energy into strategies that worked.
Track your progress - Use an app on your phone, cross off days on your calendar, or even make a graph or spreadsheet. Seeing progress will help motivate you and show how far you’ve come.
