For more than eight years and 500+ shows the ever-evolving Americana outfit Gin Mill Hollow has been showcasing their unique approach to string-band music throughout the mid-west and beyond. Born as an acoustic duo at the Up North Bar in Madison, Wisconsin, the group found traction in the area after adding mandolin and eventually percussion to the mix. As a four-piece band, Gin Mill Hollow's performances sound more like a rock show, often with electric guitar and effected mandolin solos soaring over driving rhythm and harmony.

The Swing Crew kicks off our Summer Concert Series! Meet behind the Ice Cream Stand at the North Shore of Devil's Lake State Park.

The Swing Crew performs a wide variety of music. They play classic rock, country, pop, swing, "island beat" and about any other genre you could possibly come up with. They play whatever gets the crowd going. So if you want to hear something in particular just ask them, they most likely know it. The best thing about going to see The Swing Crew perform is that it's not like seeing your average "bar band", the quality of the music and the craziness of their antics will keep you entertained throughout the show. The bottom line is FUN. The Swing Crew plays mainly in two locations; Wisconsin in the summer, and Colorado in the Winter. Between Wisconsin and Colorado they tour around mostly in the Midwest.
