The summer event season gets to be pretty packed, so you'll see plenty of these kinds of entries where I attempt to sandwich dozens of things into a small area at once. Case in point:
- Thursday, June 18th at 6:30pm the next round of the Sounds Like Summer concert series brings the Tony Baisley Band and South Farwell to the labyrinth at Phoenix Park. Tony Baisley brings a taste of that enigmatic genre "country-rock" while South Farwell brings a bluesy flavor. Check them out!
- Local blues shaman Howard Luedtke plays at the Sheeley House in Chippewa on Thursday at 8pm, while local jazzman Jeff Walk cuts a few tunes at the Haymarket Grill on Graham Ave. from 9 to 11:30pm. If you don't like Jazz and don't want to go all the way to Chippewa, the Mousetrap hosts Little Willie at 10pm. You may remember that Little Willie recently played at the Tuesday Blues in the Park series a couple weeks back.
- Friday, June 19th brings us the Juneteenth Celebration honoring the Emancipation Proclamation and celebrating African American culture. This will be at Phoenix Park at 4pm with food, live music, speakers, and cultural activities.
- It seems to me that the Chippewa Valley has been flooded with so much Bluegrass music lately that I might need a lawn mower. Either that, or I'll just dance. Friday, from 7 to 10pm at the Acoustic Cafe downtown, the East Hill Bluegrass Band (who recently played at the Sounds Like Summer concert series) will be playing their brand of traditional true-blue bluegrass. Its always a pleasure to hear them.
- Two groups you probably don't want to miss will play back to back on Friday night. Beginning at 7:30pm at the Grand Little Theater, indie rock band Wide Plans for a Palindrome welds together the sounds of banjo with synthesizers, guitars and voice. After hearing them, walk over to the Mousetrap to see the powerful reggae/rock fusion band Shoeless Revolution at 10pm. Their energy is infective and will leave you breathless. Do not miss these folks!
