SUMMARY:Ken Block & Drew Copeland of Sister Hazel
DESCRIPTION:Ken Block and Drew Copeland\, best known as two of the five members of the platinum-selling southern rock band Sister Hazel\, will bring their wildly successful tunes to select cities for intimate\, “miss it and miss out” acoustic shows\, reminiscent of their earlier performance days when they canvassed the club and coffee shop circuit as a duo from Gainesville\, Florida. \nWhile performing over 100 shows each year with the band\, Block has long been praised by both media and fans alike for his powerful and emotion-evicting voice which is both unique and instantly recognizable thanks to a string of radio hits including “All For You\,” “Change Your Mind\,” “Happy\,” “Champagne High\,” and others. Over the last 15 years\, he and the band have been prolific in the studio and at live shows.  \nSimilarly\, Copeland is also a celebrated songwriter and vocalist\, in 2004 he released a solo album\, “No Regrets.”  An avid sports and music lover\, Copeland has been honing his songwriting skills in Nashville\, Tennessee over the last decade with some of country music’s finest tunesmiths.  \nSister Hazel is known for their personal approachability and fan-friendly events including being Co-Founders of THE ROCK BOAT\, founders of the annual Hazelnut Hang\, and for starting their own “Lyrics for Life” charity and raising nearly 1 million dollars for childhood cancer research and family support programs. As University of Florida alumni\, Copeland and Block also returned to their alma mater to be the first-ever celebrity hosts of the world’s largest student run pep rally\, Gator Growl.   \nSister Hazel songs have appeared in many motion picture soundtracks over the last decade including 10 Things I Hate About You\, Major League: Back to the Minors\, The Wedding Planner\, Clay Pigeons\, American Wedding\, and Bedazzled.  \nAs two of our generations’ most engaging and prolific songwriters\, “The Ken and Drew Show” will take fans through intimate acoustic performances of Sister Hazel favorites\, a few “B sides” and deep cuts\, and new material that writers have called “some of the freshest new music to come out of Music City”. No evening with Ken and Drew would be complete with out lots of laughs and some crafty storytelling\, all delivered using with their well-known wit.  These shows are truly “miss it and miss out”. \nPlease note all ticket sales are final.\nPlease have tickets ready upon arrival.

SUMMARY:The Ornaments: A Charlie Brown Christmas
DESCRIPTION:The Ornaments started in 2005 as a group of friends who wanted to play the music of the greatest holiday special ever produced — Charles Schulz’s A Charlie Brown Christmas\, scored by the immortal Vince Guaraldi. Two decades later\, their annual shows have become a holiday tradition of their own: the classic record played live from beginning to end\, recreating that feeling of settling in on a cold December night to watch Snoopy and the gang. \nPianist Jen Gunderman\, bassist James Haggerty\, and drummer Martin Lynds lead the trio through the record in full\, joined along the way by guest soloists on everything from trombone and pedal steel to harmonica\, saxophone\, and musical saw. Keep an eye out — Santa Claus himself has been known to sit in on Telecaster. \nDoors open at 6:30 PM\, with the show beginning at 7:30 PM. The performance runs as two 45-minute sets with an intermission. All ages are welcome. \nTickets start at $46.20. Every seat is reserved — there is no general admission. \nThe Bend Theater\n125 N. Main St\, West Bend\, WI 53095\n(262) 346-7156 \nGet tickets at thebendwi.org

SUMMARY:Dan Rodriguez Live at The Bend Theater
DESCRIPTION:Join us Friday\, December 11\, 2026\, for an intimate evening with Minneapolis-based singer-songwriter Dan Rodriguez\, bringing his warm\, soulful brand of Americana to the historic Bend Theater stage. \nWhat to Expect \nDan’s live shows are built for listening — heartfelt storytelling\, rich acoustic arrangements\, and a voice that fills a room without needing to shout. Expect a set that draws from his catalog of albums and EPs alongside songs from his newest release\, Wander\, which he considers the best work of his career. It’s the kind of night where the room goes quiet between songs because people actually want to hear what he says next. \nAbout Dan \nDan Rodriguez built his career in Minneapolis before trading city life for a homestead in a small Minnesota town\, where he now lives with his wife and their three homeschooled boys. When he’s not on the road or producing other artists in his home studio\, he’s likely out in the garden\, in the woods with his kids\, or tinkering with one of his many hobbies — photography\, bow hunting\, fly fishing\, woodworking\, beekeeping\, even restoring vintage motorcycles. \nThat grounded\, close-to-home way of living comes through in his music. Over the years he’s shared stages with acts like The Civil Wars\, NEEDTOBREATHE\, Andy Grammer\, Matt Nathanson\, Drew Holcomb\, Sister Hazel\, and more. His songs have found their way into television shows\, films\, and commercials — most notably when Budweiser featured his song “I’ll Be Waiting” in a national Super Bowl ad. \nWhy Come Out \nThis is a rare chance to catch an artist with major-stage credentials in a small\, historic room built for exactly this kind of night — no bad seats\, no wall of sound\, just a great songwriter and a room full of people paying attention.

SUMMARY:Joe 2.0 "Christmas Magic" at The Bend Theater
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Robin Pluer & Chris Hanson \nThe World’s Original Rockestra is trading in its usual setlist for sleigh bells. Joe 2.0 — the electrified string quartet (two violins\, viola\, cello) plus drums that’s spent over a decade proving a string section can rock as hard as any guitar — brings its one-of-a-kind sound to The Bend for a holiday night unlike anything else on the calendar this December. \nFronting the band: Xeno\, original lead singer of Cheap Trick\, whose voice has powered Joe 2.0’s genre-blurring take on everything from Led Zeppelin to the Black Keys since the group’s founding by Milwaukee violinist Joseph Ketchum in 2011. \nThis year\, they’re not doing it alone. Christmas Magic welcomes two of Milwaukee’s most beloved musicians to the stage: Robin Pluer\, a multi-time WAMI Award winner and Shepherd Express “Best Female Vocalist\,” known citywide for the sultry French chansons she’s brought to Bastille Days for over 25 years — and Chris Hanson\, the bandleader and composer behind Milwaukee’s go-to jazz\, swing\, and rockabilly outfit. Together\, they’ll bring a warmth and swing to the evening that only comes from decades on Milwaukee stages. \nIt’s rock band meets orchestra meets Milwaukee’s own holiday songbook — one night only\, in a 1929 theater built for exactly this kind of magic. \n🎄 Saturday\, December 12\, 2026\n🕡 Doors 6:30 PM · Show 7:30–10:00 PM\n📍 The Bend Theater\, 125 N. Main St.\, West Bend\, WI 53095\n🎟️ Tickets start from $25 · Premium table seating $37 \nChristmas Magic is a strictly one-night engagement. Get your tickets before they’re gone.
