Formed in 2009, Dames exists where modern folk, rock, and country intersect. Through rich harmonies and a blend of electric & acoustic guitars, saxophone, and more, Dames brings their original songs and occasional covers to life with energy and drive that engages the audience. In trio form, Dames is comprised of local musicians, Dan Boetcher, Evan Middlesworth, and James Ignacio.
Based in Wisconsin’s Chippewa Valley, The Double Stops perform a relaxing blend of guitar-centric pop, classic rock, 90s alternative, and vocal jazz. The duo consists of Emily Watkins (guitar/vocals) and Dustin DeGolier (guitar/vocals), both freelance musicians and educators in western WI. Individually, they frequently perform with various ensembles, exploring jazz, rock, country, funk, blues, and original music. Emily and Dustin both serve on the faculty at the Shell Lake Arts Center summer camps.
Davey J has shared his soulful sound throughout the Chippewa Valley for 25 years and takes listeners through time with his set list of rock, blues, and folk music.
