This once-in-a-lifetime celebration is part of our Music in the Park series and promises an unforgettable evening
Music in the Park: The Swing Crew!
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 crazyness of their antics will keep you entertained throughout the show. The bottom line is FUN.
Summer Concert Series: Gin Mill Hollow
Gin Mill Hollow is the second band of our Summer Music Series. Join us at the North Shore, behind the Ice Cream Stand at 6:00 PM.
Over seven years and four hundred-plus shows, the ever-evolving Americana outfit Gin Mill Hollow has been showcasing their unique approach to string-band music throughout the midwest and beyond.
Born as an acoustic duo at the Up North Bar in Madison, WI, the group found traction in the area after adding mandolin and eventually percussion to the mix. Now a solid four-piece band, Gin Mill Hollow's live performances look and sound more like a rock show with electric guitar and effected mandolin solos soaring over driving rhythm and harmony, blending genres like bluegrass and folk music with jazz and blues.

Music in the Park - Dan Walkner & Friends
Music in the Park is back! The Friends is pleased to welcome Dan Walkner & Friends to play some wonderful tunes. What kind of music do they play? Here’s a little bit about their sound from the band’s website:
Wrenclaw is a Wisconsin original. Blending country harmonies and slithery slide guitars, they create a down-home, backwoods soul shakedown. Wrenclaw captures the longing and redemption of one-horse towns and whistle-stop childhood memories. Dan Walkner’s voice shimmers and growls; his timeless guitar slides and slurs with bottleneck flourishes. Wrenclaw digs deep in gospel, delta, and back-country roots to create captivating moods. The song-writing is emotive yet never sentimental; honest and universal, but never cliche. Wrenclaw’s self-titled debut was released in early 2014.
To hear their music, listen to this 2015 set they recorded with Wisconsin Public Television.
