Simply come in and enjoy!\nA Community Partnership with National Exchange Bank & Trust \nSeptember 17th – Judson Brown (duo) \nJudson Brown has been singing and playing music for as long as he can remember. In his teens\, he taught himself to play guitar by shredding along with recordings of Ozzy Osbourne. While attending Columbia College in Chicago\, Judson’s musician friends introduced him to the world of Jazz\, where he developed an ear for harmony and an appreciation for music theory. While searching for musical genres in high demand\, the music of Brad Paisley caught his ear and taught him that country music could be both technically challenging AND popular. Once that epiphany struck\, there was no turning back. \nJudson is founder and bandleader of the Judson Brown Band (est. 2014). Perhaps you have seen the band at Summerfest\, the Wisconsin State Fair\, your favorite beer garden\, or opening for national acts such as Wynonna Judd\, Jana Kramer\, or High Valley. Several albums of original music are available on iTunes\, Spotify\, and streaming services worldwide. \nJudson was also lead guitarist/vocalist in regional cover band Bella Cain for 14 years. \nIf this wasn’t enough\, Judson is an active songwriter\, working with professionals and publishers in Nashville. In addition to his original songs\, Judson has written\, performed\, and recorded music for feature films\, and also teaches privately. \nYour host for the night is our very own Joe Polizzi! FREE Event! No ticket required!\nShow begins at 7pm. Doors open at 6:30pm! \nHundreds of FREE parking spots and great restaurants lining Main Street and surrounding area! We’ll see you soon!

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.
