Get tickets — last year’s show sold out. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWisconsin’s Award-Winning Journey Tribute \nTwenty years of keeping the faith with Journey\nSeparate Ways came together in 2005 because Wisconsin talent agents kept asking for the same thing: a band that could do Journey right. Two decades later\, the six-piece has become the state’s go-to Journey experience\, built around a lineup of multiple WAMI award winners — the honors often called Wisconsin’s Grammys. \nThe group took home the WAMI for Best Tribute Band in both 2012 and 2014\, and lead singer Paul Lent was named the WAMI Male Vocalist of the Year in 2015. That voice is the heart of the show: the soaring\, high-wire vocals that defined Journey’s biggest records\, backed by a band that matches the original’s muscle note for note. \nSeparate Ways has turned January at The Bend into a tradition\, and the 2026 show sold out. This year they’re back on a Friday night with two full sets of the hits — the power ballads\, the radio staples and the singalongs that bring a whole room to its feet. \n\n\nThe Highlights \nWhy Wisconsin keeps coming back\nA few milestones from two decades on the road. \n\nFormed in 2005Assembled at the request of agents across Wisconsin.2005\nWAMI Best Tribute BandWisconsin Area Music Industry award.2012\nWAMI Best Tribute Band\, againA second win for the state’s top tribute act.2014\nWAMI Male Vocalist of the YearPaul Lent takes the vocal honor.2015\nSold out at The BendThe January 2026 show filled the house.2026\nBack at The BendFriday night\, two full sets\, 344 seats.January 8\, 2027\n\n\n\nTickets & Seating \nTwo ways in\nEvery seat in the historic 1929 house has a clear view of the stage. \n\n$33Value Seating65 seats\n$38Reserved Seating279 seats\n\nTotal capacity 344.

SUMMARY:Trapper Schoepp's Tom Petty Tribute
DESCRIPTION:A new generation of Heartbreakers will soon take our stage—led by Wisconsin singer-songwriter Trapper Schoepp. \n“For me\, it’s about being a link in the chain of musicians before and after my time\,” Trapper says. “Tom Petty’s music has been a soundtrack through much of my life\, and bringing his songs to life is a joy—for me and for audiences.” \nBacked by a four-piece band\, Trapper delivers the full range of the Tom Petty catalog—from the fired-up urgency of “American Girl” and “Refugee” to the intimate beauty of “Wildflowers” and “Walls.” The performances honor the spirit\, swing\, and soul of the originals while allowing the band’s chemistry and care to shine through. \nSchoepp’s connection to Petty’s world runs deep. His latest album\, Siren Songs\, was recorded at Johnny Cash’s historic Cash Cabin—the same space where Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers served as Cash’s backing band on the Grammy-winning Unchained (American Recordings II). He has also released tender\, atmospheric recordings of “Free Fallin’” and “Walls\,” further cementing his reputation as a thoughtful interpreter of Petty’s work. \nBeyond the tribute\, Schoepp brings an acclaimed original career. In 2019\, he released a long-lost song co-written with Bob Dylan\, making him the youngest artist to share a writing credit with the Nobel Prize laureate. The release sparked a #1 trending article in Rolling Stone and led to over 100 tour dates worldwide. \nSchoepp has released five albums\, collaborating with members of Wilco\, The Raconteurs\, and The Jayhawks. PBS praised his songs as “story songs that explore and explode the conventions of rock and roll\,” while Rolling Stone France called his work a “charming 100% Americana opus.” \nAn international touring artist\, Schoepp has shared stages with The Wallflowers\, Three Dog Night\, Old 97’s\, The Jayhawks\, and Frank Turner\, performing at iconic venues including New York’s Town Hall\, Los Angeles’ Roxy Theatre\, and SXSW. \nPlease note all ticket sales are final.\nPlease have ticket ready upon arrival.

A first solo record\, Five Feet Down\, followed\, and by 2013 the Joe Stamm Band was on the road. More than a decade of Midwest stages later\, the lineup is anchored by Dave Glover on guitar\, Bruce Moser on bass and Tim Kramp on drums. \nThe band calls its sound Black Dirt Country Rock\, a nod to the dark farm soil of central Illinois and a regional counterpart to the Red Dirt scene of Oklahoma and Texas. In practice that means heartland storytelling with Southern rock muscle\, moving from quiet acoustic moments to full-throttle guitar. Rather than relocating to Nashville or Austin\, the band has stayed rooted at home. \nTheir 2025 album Little Crosses\, produced by Al Torrence and released on the band’s own Den Tree Records\, is their most ambitious work to date and earned a four-and-a-half-star review from Country Music People.

Their sound pairs old ballads and dance tunes with contemporary energy\, rich harmonies and serious musicianship — the reason they’ve been named Folk Band of the Year at the Scots Trad Music Awards and inducted into its Hall of Fame. \nThe 35th Anniversary Tour celebrates their new album Toast\, and on Saturday\, February 20 it lands on Main Street in West Bend.

Their focus has never been on wigs and wardrobe. It’s on nailing the songs\, the sound and the sheer lift of a live U2 show. \nThat approach has earned them spots opening for and sharing stages with Styx\, Journey\, Cheap Trick\, Steve Winwood\, Huey Lewis\, the Goo Goo Dolls and Peter Frampton — company few tribute acts get to keep. Freshly reunited\, the four-piece is back on the road for 2027. \nAt The Bend they’ll play two hour-long sets\, close enough to feel the kick drum and hear every echo of that famous guitar. Bring the friend who still talks about the Joshua Tree tour. \n\n\nCareer Highlights \nTwo decades of big-stage nights\nA few of the moments that made their name. \n\nThe Midwest’s longest-running U2 tributeMore than 20 years of concert-caliber shows20+ Years\nSharing stages with rock royaltyStyx\, Journey\, Cheap Trick and Peter Frampton among themOpeners\nMore headliner companySteve Winwood\, Huey Lewis and the Goo Goo DollsOpeners\nThe Joshua Tree\, start to finishThe full album live at Turner Hall Ballroom\, Milwaukee2017\nReunion at Shank HallBack together on one of Milwaukee’s classic club stages2026\nThe Bend Theater\, West BendOne night only\, two setsFeb 26\, 2027\n\n\n\nTickets & Seating \nThree ways in\nEvery seat gets the full wall of sound.

A rock show.\nThe HYPE grew out of a simple idea: the best way to honor the biggest bands of the 1980s isn’t to play dress-up as them\, but to deliver their songs with the same swagger they had at their peak. The result is a tribute that leans on attitude and musicianship\, built for crowds who want to sing every chorus back at the stage. \nThe show moves through five chapters — Mötley Crüe\, Def Leppard\, Poison\, Bon Jovi and Aerosmith — each one framed by MTV-style visuals\, with pre-recorded intros synced to large video screens and a full light rig carrying the energy from one era-defining band to the next. It runs well past two hours. \nThe band has taken the production to stages across North America. On Friday\, March 5\, it plugs in under the marquee on Main Street for one night of big hair\, bigger hooks and the loudest Friday The Bend has seen in a while. \n\n\nThe Setlist\, in Five Acts \nFive bands.

DESCRIPTION:Live at The Bend · West Bend\, Wisconsin \nGin\, Chocolate & Bottle Rockets \nLegends in Harmony: Dolly\, Linda & Emmylou \n\nAmericana & Folk\nThree-Part Harmony\nMadison\, WI Trio\nDolly · Linda · Emmylou\n\nThree Madison singer-songwriters\, one microphone’s worth of harmony\, and a night of songs made famous by Dolly Parton\, Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris — a little sass\, a little sweet\, and plenty of fire. \n\n\n\nOne Night Only \nSaturday \nMarch 13\, 2027 \n6:30 PMDoors\n7:30 PMShow\nGet Tickets \n\n\n\n\n\n\nHear It First \nThree voices on a Dolly classic\nGet a taste of the harmonies before the show. \n“Wildflowers” (Dolly Parton) \nThe trio’s take on the Dolly Parton song\, from their own YouTube channel. \n\n\n\nThree Voices\, One Sound \nA Madison trio built on harmony.\nGin\, Chocolate & Bottle Rockets started the way the best bands often do: by accident\, on a showcase stage. Beth Kille and Shawndell Marks were already working songwriters with solo careers when they shared a bill with Jen Farley\, newly arrived in Madison from Ohio. One song together was enough — they started rehearsing\, and an award-winning trio was born. \nSince then they’ve released a debut EP and the full-length album Lean\, toured beyond Wisconsin\, and built a reputation for tight three-part harmonies\, guitar\, keys and percussion\, and the kind of on-stage chemistry that makes a theater feel like a living room. Their sound pulls from Americana\, folk\, indie-pop and rock in equal measure. \nLegends in Harmony turns that blend toward three women who defined it first. Expect a heartfelt\, high-energy tribute to Dolly Parton\, Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris — from “Jolene” and “9 to 5” to “Desperado” and “Two More Bottles of Wine” — on Saturday\, March 13 at The Bend. \n\n\nThe Legends & The Trio \nThree icons.

SUMMARY:Brandy Clark
DESCRIPTION:Live at The Bend · West Bend\, Wisconsin \nBrandy Clark \nTake Flight World Tour \n\nGrammy Winner\nNYT 30 Greatest Living Songwriters\nTony-Nominated\n90-Minute Set\n\nShe wrote the songs that made other people famous — Miranda Lambert\, Kacey Musgraves\, Brandi Carlile — then won a Grammy of her own. In April she plays them herself\, in a 360-seat room on Main Street. \n\n\n\nOne Night Only \nSaturday \nApril 10\, 2027 \n6:30 PMDoors\n7:30 PMShow\n\nOn Sale Now \nTickets from $43.11. Get tickets — Table Seating is sold out\, and Premium Reserved has limited availability. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Music Row pros par excellence\, brilliant practitioners of the time-honored tradecraft: crisp hooks\, witty wordplay\, brisk storytelling\, songs that click and whir like little machines. They are also disrupters of tradition … whose work has jolted country\, pulling the genre in new directions stylistically\, sonically\, even politically.” \nThe New York Times\, on Brandy Clark\, Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne \n\n\n\nHear Her First \nTwo songs\, start to finish\nThe new single and the one that finally won her a Grammy. Both are in the show. \n“American Roots” \nFilmed at Gold-Diggers Sound in Los Angeles for Salt Lick Sessions. \n\n“Dear Insecurity” featuring Brandi Carlile \nLive from The Gorge. Winner of Best Americana Performance at the 66th Grammy Awards. \n\n\n\nSeventeen Nominations\, Then a Win \nNashville’s songwriter’s songwriter finally took one home\nFor most of a decade Brandy Clark was the name on the credits rather than the marquee — seventeen Grammy nominations without a win\, while the songs she wrote turned into hits for everybody else. That ended in 2024\, when “Dear Insecurity\,” her duet with Brandi Carlile\, took Best Americana Performance and then Song of the Year at the Americana Honors & Awards. \nThe record it came from — 2023’s self-titled Brandy Clark\, produced by Carlile — got the kind of reviews artists frame. Forbes called it “an Americana masterpiece.” Variety wrote that it “further clarifies that she’s one of America’s treasures.” In 2026 The New York Times Magazine named her\, alongside her longtime collaborators Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne\, one of the 30 Greatest Living American Songwriters. \nShe arrives in West Bend behind the bird (Reprise Records)\, eleven songs written with McAnally\, Jessie Jo Dillon and Sean McConnell\, produced by Shooter Jennings at Sunset Sound in Los Angeles. The first single\, “American Roots\,” was written in the shadow of Woody Guthrie’s “This Land Is Your Land” — and has been pulling mid-song standing ovations out of audiences on the road. \nHer other job is writing hits for the rest of Nashville. And her other other job is Broadway: she and McAnally wrote the score for Shucked\, which earned nine Tony nominations\, a Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Music\, and a Tony nod for Best Original Score. \n\n\nThe Catalog \nYou already know her work\nA short list of songs and shows with her name in the writing credits: \n\nMama’s Broken HeartRecorded by Miranda LambertFour the Record\, 2011\nFollow Your ArrowRecorded by Kacey MusgravesSame Trailer Different Park\, 2013\nA Beautiful NoiseRecorded by Brandi Carlile & Alicia KeysGrammy-nominated\nTrailblazerCo-written with Lainey Wilson and Miranda LambertGrammy-nominated\nDear InsecurityHer own\, featuring Brandi CarlileGrammy winner · Americana Song of the Year\nShuckedBroadway score\, written with Shane McAnallyDrama Desk win · Tony nominee\n\nMore at brandyclarkmusic.com. \n\n\nTickets & Seating \nFour ways in\nEvery seat is reserved.
