A scary night coming to Studio Winery

Happy Halloween! The band plans to be scary good while playing its original hits along with material from various female vocalists and bands from the Beatles to Led Zeppelin and everything in-between from 5-9 p.m. Oct. 28 at Studio Winery + Geneva Lake Distilling, 401 E. Sheridan Springs Road, Lake Geneva. Bring your scariest costume or come as you are and enjoy an evening of live music and beverages from wine to cocktails, all locally made.

Thanks, State Fair. Up next: Studio Winery

We wrapped up our two-day annual residency at the Wisconsin State Fair with a large crowd and some unexpected guests, including the legendary Larry Lynne. Thanks to Major Goolsby’s for playing host and treating us so well. And thanks to all our fans who enjoyed two days of beautiful weather to support live music. Next up: a return engagement from 5-9 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 9, at the Studio Winery + Geneva Lake Distilling in Lake Geneva.

Thanks, Kochanski’s and Bastille Days; next up: State Fair

We had a great time playing the historic Kochanski’s Bar on Milwaukee’s South Side and our return engagement at the incredible Bastille Days. Next up: Major Goolsby’s Heartland Stage at the Wisconsin State Fair, where we’ll be performing from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 5, and Sunday, Aug. 6. We’ll be playing three full sets of great music, from our original tunes to material from the Beatles to the Allman Brothers to Linda Ronstadt and everything in-between. Hope to see you there!

Thanks, Kochanski’s. Next Up: Bastille Days

The band will be returning to the Beaux Arts Stage at Bastille Days for a free two-hour show beginning at 4 p.m. Saturday, July 15. The four-day Bastille Days, held at Cathedral Square, is Milwaukee’s largest street festival and one of the oldest French gatherings in the nation. We may get our largest crowd because Bastille Days is being held on the same weekend as Harleyfest. So our set list will include songs not only for the music connoisseur, but also for the party-hardy Harley riders.

Thanks, Summerfest! Next: Kochanski’s

How best to describe our show June 23 at the BMO Harris Pavilion at Summerfest? One hour of music, one ton of fun. After five appearances at the US Cellular Connection Stage, we were fortunate to be booked onto the plush BMO Harris Pavilion stage. What a fantastic venue, and what a great crowd. Next up: July 2 outdoors at Kochanski’s Concertina Beer Hall, on S. 37th St. just south of Burnham Ave. on Milwaukee’s South Side. First chord will be struck at 2 p.m., with another band appearing at 3:15. Admission is $10.

Next up: Bobberz again

WAMI-nominated Rebecca and the Grey Notes will make a return appearance, this time indoors, from 8-midnight June 9 at Bobberz in Waterford. Come by boat, kayak or car to enjoy the serene backyard overlooking the river, then go indoors to listen to original music off the band’s two CDs along with covers of songs by female artists such as Ann Peebles and Linda Ronstadt and by bands from the Beatles to Black Sabbath. We had a fantastic time on Memorial Day weekend playing outdoors at this venue. We’ll have even more fun indoors.

2 gigs in May

The band’s 10th anniversary 2023 World Tour begins in earnest in late May. We previously announced our outdoor show May 28, from 2-6 p.m., at Bobberz in Waterford. We’ll also be performing outdoors from 6-9 p.m. May 31 at the baaree in Thiensville. Hope to see you there.

We’re back at it

After taking off the month of March for a break, we’ve returned to rehearsals to prepare for our 2023 World Tour. We’ve already played one show on the tour–at the Studio Winery + Geneva Lake Distillery in Lake Geneva–but our tour resumes in earnest on Memorial Day weekend with a show Sunday, May 28, at Bobberz, a VFW Post on a beautiful outdoor setting in Waterford. First chord will be struck at 2 p.m. Hope to see you there.

Thanks, and a break

Thanks to Studio Winery + Geneva Lake Distilling for inviting us to perform Feb. 11. We’ll be posting some photos and perhaps a video of our performance soon. Meanwhile, we’ll be taking a short break from public performances but will be back at it in April. Also, we’ll be sharing more information soon on our nomination for a WAMI award for best bluegrass/ Americana band. Stay tuned.
