“We are a band based in Wisconsin playing Classic Bluegrass and Gospel, Mixing it with Country, Americana and folk. We blend driving banjo, powerful mandolin, Wailing Fiddle, booming upright bass, steady rhythm guitar and tight harmonies to create a sound that echoes from the hills and plains of our great Nation. We sing and play the Soul of the Country.”

Acoustic version of Copper Box, one of WI’s favorites, that brings melodic folk rock originals and covers featuring the multi instrumentalists, Danny & Michelle Jerabek. Copper Box is a genre-bending celebration of fusion roots rock that channels the rowdy communal feel of a small-town party with their refreshing, gutsy, americana sound of artists like the legendary Esteban Jordan (the Jimi Hendrix of the accordion), Doug Sahm, Clifton Chenier, Los Lobos, and CCR…a must see!
Fun w/ Atoms are a Power Pop band from Wisconsin that formed in the 1980s. Dan Collins, Curt Leferve, and Rick Smith have recorded 3 albums together and continue to play shows around their central hub of Green Bay.
Their debut album, “Main Street” was recorded at Smart Studios by Butch Vig, prior to his work with Nirvana and a slew of other 90’s rock bands. Along with Spooner, the Weeds, and Firetown, Fun w/ Atoms were an important part of the foundation for the studios reputation. The band continues to record and perform shows with all original band members. All recorded music can be found on CD Baby, iTunes, and every streaming site.
Sam Llanas (formerly of the BoDeans) is an iconic American singer, acoustic guitarist, and songwriter. Best known for his unique and distinctively soulful voice, It was Llanas’ voice that supplied the trademark vocal on Robbie Robertson’s “Somewhere Down the Crazy River.”
Shedding new light on a multi-decade career Sam Llanas returns to his roots adding a refined rock sound complimented by a full band, all veterans of both studio and live performance. Behind his lone-wolf image and tuffness, Llanas continues to hone his skills. A master craftsman that feels most at home in the city he’s always called home, Llanas has set the stage for fans to embrace his new identity.
Nick Anderson and The Skinny Lovers sound like the lovechild of John Mayer and Gary Clark Jr. For fans of vintage style, modern sounds, and craft beer.
After a rough patch through high school Nick Anderson overcame depression and realized the power that music has to change lives. Ever since he has been giving his all to write songs that show listeners everyone struggles, the story just changes details. The “got through depression” story is getting old, and that itself is the problem. Nick Anderson is about helping people realize they aren’t alone, that music is an outlet, and that there is plenty of good in life.
As a mental health advocate and an honest writer, Nick Anderson plays music that digs deep into the emotion of the millenial dreamer. One interviewer called Nick Anderson’s song 24 the “anthem of a generation.”
