JULY 2 - Hobie and the Leftovers Food Vendor: Thai-Italina Hobie and the Leftovers come to us from just down the road a bit. As one of Lake Geneva's most popular Blues bands, you will not hear as much music out of three people as you will with these guys. Good harmonies and great guitar work lend itself to some awesome rockin' blues. You don't need to bring chairs for this show because you won't be sittin' still anyway. C'mon out and get in the groove! more on Hobie and the Leftovers... JULY 16 - Group Therapy Food Vendor: The River House After taking some time off from playing nearly every roadhouse and festival along the "I" between Green Bay and Chicago for over a decade, vocalist / drummer Roy Edwards, returning guitarist Kirk Tatnall and bassist Chris Kringel reunite to bring their brand of power trio blues to Waterford. You can count on an evening of soulful vocals, funky bass grooves and incendiary guitar work. Group Therapy takes elements of Rock, Funk, R&B and Reggae and blends them with the raw power of the blues. Find out more on: Kirk Tatnall, Chris Kringle and Roy Edwards. AUGUST 6 - Jackie Brown and the Boys Food Vendor: Waterford Lioness Due to your enthusiasm (and standing ovations), Jackie Brown and the Boys are returning for their third year! This group just keeps getting better and better playing new covers and writing more originals. As we push our genre to classic and alternative rock, you will once again have the pleasure of guitar-like flute solos, sweet strings, beautiful keys and something New! A fourth "Boy" has been added to bring up the middle for sweet, three part harmonies.  Nice... more on Jackie Brown... AUGUST 20 - Sawdust Symphony Food Vendor: The Cotton Exchange We'll push the genre envelope one last time this season with Sawdust Symphony as our final act. With the uncanny ability to rearrange rock tunes into blue grass, their genre is actually New Grass! You'll never have as much fun listening to a band as you will the skilled pickin' and singin' of Sawdust Symphony. As we slowly move into fall, there's no better way to close out our season than with some down-to-earth New Grass! more on Sawdust Symphony... TL Sound TL Sound will provide the professional touch in Sound and Lights again this year. Tedd Lupella's been working in live audio for 30 years and attended Full Sail recording school ummm... way back in the day. He prefers the challenge of mixing live rather than in the studio setting. Tedd has worked with a long list of professional artists, including Mitch Ryder, Spider John Koerner, Phil Keaggy, Larry Norman, Tracy Grammar, Bill Staines, Mike Stone (of Queensryche), Rare Earth, Valerie Smith & Liberty Pike, Allison Brown, Greg Brown and many more. Village Hall Park will never sound better! more on TL Sound... Parking Ample street parking is available through out the immediate area. You may find yourself walking a couple of blocks, but it's worth it! Please obey the temporary no parking signs on some of the nearby streets. Some of these streets are very narrow, so parking will be limited to one side of the street during the shows to ensure emergency vehicle access. And also, please try not to park on anyone's lawn. Village Hall Park is very close to our neighbors. We very much want everyone to enjoy us being there, because it truly is the perfect place to be. And don't forget about the municipal parking lot right next door to the fire / police building. It's right across the river from the park, just a short walk across the bridge. Find Us Select map for driving directions. We look forward to seeing you there...
