Stay healthy, people!
All of our scheduled performances for April, May, June and July have been postponed or canceled, and we are unable to get together as a band to rehearse. but Rebecca and the Grey Notes still plan on playing music at some point this year. We’ll let you know when we’ll be able to strike a chord. Meanwhile, here’s a clip, courtesy of Enrique Rodriguez, of one of our original songs from one of our performances at the Wisconsin State Fair in 2017. Stay healthy, everyone!
Thanks, Tally’s! Next up: Parkside 23
Rebecca and the Grey Notes had a fantastic time Friday night, March 6, at Tallys Tap & Eatery, thanks to a big fish fry crowd and a large group of live music lovers. We debuted some new songs to the big crowd. Big thanks to Tally’s for inviting us back. Next up: We are very happy to be returning to Parkside 23 in Brookfield. This is an early start–6 p.m.–so those who say they don’t attend our concerts because we start too late, here’s your chance!
Back home at Tally’s
The band returns Friday, March 6, to the site of its first concert, which was held in April 2013. It should be an interesting night because we’ll be debuting some new cover songs, including a rearrangement of a Beatles tune, a blues song made famous by the Allman Brothers and a tune from Joe Walsh’s playlist. Enjoy Tally’s famous and bountiful fish fry, then listen to three sets of original music along with covers of material from artists such as Linda Ronstadt, Norah Jones, Bonnie Raitt, old Fleetwood Mac, the Byrds, Led Zeppelin, and maybe, just maybe, Black Sabbath. First chord will be struck at 8:30 p.m.
Parkside 23, repeat, repeat
The band, fresh off a performance at Parkside 23 in Brookfield last week, will be returning to the live music venue on Feb. 4 and Feb. 18. Parkside 23 is a farm-to-table restaurant with an extensive menu and choice of beverages. We’ll be performing in the bar area, which allows listeners to enjoy the band in an up-close and personal setting. And there is no cover charge. Hope you can join us!
Happy New Year!
The band wishes all of our fans a very happy and prosperous New Year! We will be starting our new year with a show at 6 p.m. Jan. 7 at Parkside 23 in Brookfield. We also will be at Parkside 23 two times in February, once in March, once in May and once in June. We’ll also be visiting the Studio Winery in Lake Geneva in April as we start to fill in our 2020 events for the year. Watch our schedule for more details. 
Thanks for a great ’19
Rebecca and the Grey Notes would like to thank everyone who ventured out to support us throughout 2019.

The venues included the Studio Winery in Lake Geneva, the Oconomowoc Arts Center, Paulie’s Pub in West Allis, Polish Fest, Summerfest, Bastille Days, Tally’s Tap & Eatery in Waukesha, Parkside 23 in Brookfield and Tosa Fest in Wauwatosa.

Summer gigs end on two high musical notes
We wrapped up our summer performance schedule with shows Friday night, Sept. 6, at Tally’s Tap & Eatery in Waukesha and Saturday, Sept. 7, at Tosa Fest in Wauwatosa. Tally’s provided an intimate setting for our original music, while Tosa Fest gave us one last shot for the year on a large, festival stage. Thanks to all of our fans for supporting our music. We’ll be back at Tally’s in late November.
Next Up: Tally’s, Tosa Fest

Both performances are free.

Thanks to everyone who supported live music this summer!
