Why we’re Wisconsin’s Favorite Band

We’ve been making good trouble on stages across Northeast Wisconsin since 2010. If you’re looking for a band that stares at its shoes, we’re probably not it. We’re the band that gets you singing the chorus you swore you “don’t really know,” high-fiving strangers two stools down, and laughing at our terrible jokes that somehow get funnier after cheese curds.

Audience participation isn’t a gimmick for us—it’s the show. We trade riffs with your table, and turn your birthday shout-outs into full-blown excitement. Our on-stage TV screen experience keeps the party playful with video and surprises that make every set feel like you’re in on it… because you are.

From ’70s sing-alongs to 2000s bangers (plus whatever dropped last week), we stitch decades together without whiplash—just vibes. Most nights you’ll find us right where Wisconsin’s heartbeat is loudest: small taverns packed with regulars, new friends, and the best bartenders in the Midwest. That’s why we call it the Small Town Tavern Tour—because the big fun happens in the small places.

Catch us on the road or bring the tour to your town—taverns, street fairs, and anywhere the fryers are hot.
