The concert will be from noon to 1 p.m. in the Crib area of the Nebraska Union and is free and open to the public. Sweet Will and the Saucy Jacks, also known as Fat Blu Cat, features Stephen Buhler on lead guitar, Ray Collier on rhythm guitar, Kim Bartek on bass, Rod Scher on drums, and everyone on vocals. Selections will include “No Contest,” a country-ballad version of Shakespeare’s Sonnet 18 (“Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?”) and “Simple Truth Suppressed,” an indie-rock take on Sonnet 138 (“When my love swears”). “Egyptian Queen,” a retelling of “Antony and Cleopatra,” sounds a bit like a Tom Petty tune. The “Sweet Will” project was initiated by Buhler, a professor of English at UNL, after he noticed similarities between song structures in popular music and the organization of a sonnet. In various incarnations, Sweet Will has played such venues as UCLA, the Folger Shakespeare Library, and the International Medieval Congress at Western Michigan University.
