We’re already securing a few dates for 2027, including two Wisconsin State Fair shows in August, at least one gig in February and maybe more at the popular Studio Winery in Lake Geneva, a church festival in late September in Burlington and a private show in Milwaukee. We’re hoping to secure gigs in Greendale and maybe even in Door County! We’ll release more information early next year as we continue to solidify our schedule. As you know, we’re not a full-time band. Rebecca works full-time as a school teacher; Tyler has gigs with at least one other part-time band; and Tom and Mike are fully retired from their day jobs. We don’t do many shows from October through May because Rebecca’s full-time job also takes up a lot of her free time and because, well, we don’t particularly enjoy carrying equipment through a foot of snow. But we’re open to suggestions. So contact us through our Facebook account or by emailing thegreynotesband@gmail.com

Our little band played to a huge crowd Aug. 29 at the Gazebo in beautiful downtown Greendale, and there was a lot of excitement: not only live music on a wonderful evening outdoors, but also a light pole mishap and a parrot sighting on Tom’s drum kit! We thank everyone who ignored the rain that ended 1 1/2 hours before our show began. Special thanks for attending go to: Justin Juley and Yelena Bird and the grandkids, Nancy Juley, Pat and Mark Koncki, Ann and Howard Kallio, Sue and Steve Owens, Melissa Chipman and daughter Megan and her boyfriend Cole and his family, Chris Koncki, Teena Shemeta and Lisa and Terry Scherr and Angela, super fans Sandy and Michael Lussier, Richard Sternkopf and Kathy Barry, Frank Clines and Kristin and their three friends, Val and Matt Phillips, Twin Oak neighbors Kristy and daughter Charlotte, Todd and Dawn Fink, Herb Szatmary, Mike Rauterberg, Ken Kieck, Mary Taranowski, Ray Verespej and Christine, the Borowskis, the DeSistis, and Laurie Rittberg and husband Rick Rittberg. That does it for our public shows for the year (we have a private party coming up in Milwaukee later in September). Thanks to everyone who spent time out of their busy day to listen to our music. By the way, for those wondering about the lost parrot, a woman who lives a few miles away and who has similar birds as pets volunteered to take the bird home with her and take care of it until the rightful owner is found. Yay!

Calling all Waukesha County fans: Our little band will be performing twice in your area over the next few weeks. This Saturday, July 11, we’ll be at Myxn Lakeside Beach Bar, 145 W. Wisconsin Ave., Pewaukee, from 3 to 6:30 p.m. We’ll be returning to the lakefront in Pewaukee to wrap up this summer’s Waterfront Wednesday series with a concert at the bandshell from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Aug. 5. Both are free events. Hope to see you soon!

Thanks to Mixn in Pewaukee for inviting us back to perform. We had a great crowd with many new faces. We will return to Mixn for an afternoon of music July 11 outside the bar/ restaurant, opening for the great Sleepy Andy Gelles and his band. Next up: We’ll be closing Polish Fest, from 3:30 to 6 p,m. Sunday, June 14. This will be our second appearance at the popular Milwaukee festival. Our first show was in 40-degree weather with a strong breeze off the lake, so we’re hoping for warmer weather this time!

Our little band had a big time Saturday, April 18, at Studio Winery + Geneva Lake Distilling in Lake Geneva. Big crowd, lots of familiar faces, plenty of new faces, and Doug and Kathy even named a new drink after the band! Our next show will be as a trio from 7-10:30 p.m. Friday, May 8, at @Mixn Lakeside Beach Bar, 145 W. Wisconsin Ave., downtown Pewaukee. No cover. Excellent food and beverages. Sunset on Pewaukee Lake. Hope to see you there.

Thanks to some familiar faces, we had a great crowd at our debut gig in March at Mixn Lakeside Beach Bar on the Pewaukee lakefront. Due to space limitations, we played as a trio. We’re happy to report we’ve been invited back to perform there Friday, May 8, from 7 to 10:30 p.m. There is no cover charge. Next Up: the always special Studio Winery + Geneva Lake Distilling in Lake Geneva, where we’ll perform from 5-9 p.m. April 18. Thanks to all of our new fans for supporting live music!

It appears the Snowmageddon storm that was threatening the Milwaukee area earlier this week could be heading north. So while the weather still will be a little wet, we’re still on for performing from 7 to 10:30 p.m. March 14 at Mixn Lakeside Beach Bar, 145 W. Wisconsin Ave, Pewaukee. We’ll be performing as a trio, sort of back to our roots of becoming a band 13 years ago.

We’ve updated our list of shows for this year, and we’re happy to be invited back to the Wisconsin State Fair and Greendale’s beautiful downtown Gazebo. We also have added two gigs at a new great venue in Pewaukee, Mixn Lakeside Beach Bar, which opened May 1, 2025. And we’ll be returning to Studio Winery in Lake Geneva at least two more times. Hope to see you soon!

What a great night we had at Studio Winery + Geneva Lake Distilling on Valentine’s Day. A big crowd heard our three new songs and we had a blast. Next up, we’ll be playing as a trio Saturday, March 14, from 7 to 10:30 p.m. at a new venue for us, Mixn Lakeside Beach Bar in downtown Pewaukee. The bar/ restaurant offers an extensive menu of craft cocktails, fresh handmade soup, salads, sandwiches, flatbreads and more. Help us say hello to this new tavern.

Our little band begins its 2026 World Tour with a return performance Feb. 14, 2026, at the Geneva Lake Distilling + Winery, 401 Sheridan Springs Road, Lake Geneva. First chord will be struck at 5 p.m., and we’ll play three full sets of music until 9 p.m. There is no cover charge. So all you lovebirds who want to celebrate this festive occasion are encouraged to attend. We’ll be announcing other engagements over the next few weeks, so stay tuned. One hint: We will be returning to perform at the Gazebo in downtown Greendale in August.
