Get ready to kick up your boots at Vinyl Nights: “Jordy’s Honky Tonk Jukebox” on The Lakely Patio! DJ Jordy will spin a mix of classic old school country (Patsy Cline, Hank Williams, Ernest Tubb, Dolly Parton, etc) as well as contemporary Americana/alt-country (Charley Crockett, Waxahatchee, Margo Price, Orville Peck) with some stuff that falls somewhere in-between thrown in for good measure (Townes Van Zandt, John Prine, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young). DJ Jordy will be joined at the turntables by Matt Vold of Eau Claire band and recent Blue Ox performers, Pit Wagon!
Tunes run from 7pm-10pm on The Lakely Patio – rain or shine, but we’ll move inside The Lakely if it rains! Break out your favorite boots and cowgirl/boy hats — folks are encouraged to sport their favorite western wear!
DJ BIO:
“I listen to everything but country music” is something I’ve long heard from many of my friends, and I’ve decided to take that as a challenge. I want to push back on people’s preconceived notions on what country music is and help show folks that have previously dismissed it that it’s nothing to condescend, and that in actuality it’s a rich and wonderful part of American culture. I hope to demonstrate that country music is not only a lot of fun but absolutely deserving of respect and to be seen as credible art. It’s with this mission in mind that I present “Jordy’s Jukebox” at The Lakely.

Join us on Thursday, November 18th from 7pm-10pm for a special evening of Vinyl Nights: “New Wave Dance Party”!
From The Lakely stage, DJ Ashley Wiswell will captain the turntable and take you on a journey of remembrance of her favorite eras of music, the late 70s and 80s (because there’s nothing quite like a good bass-line mixed with synth) and highlight groups that have heavily influenced modern indie and alternative music, both of which are prominent in the Eau Claire musical community. Ashley will feature tracks from bands like Talking Heads, The Smiths, The Cure, Patti Smith, Blondie, New Order, Joy Division, and many more. To weave in the modern scene, Ashley will also feature a selection of more recent artists that emulate the new wave sound, including Choir Boy, Black Marble, and others.
The Lakely opens for dinner and drinks at 5pm, we hope to see you there!
FREE to attend!
