Who? Welshly Arms When? 8 PM Where? Johnson Control’s World Stage
The band Welshly Arms got their name from a Saturday Night Live sketch, but their music is not light or funny. They have a full alternative-rock sound, full of crazy guitar riffs and head-banging choruses. Welshly Arms is going to be “Legendary” as the title of their most song would suggest.

JJ Grey and Mofro pours his soul out in his music. In his live shows, he connects with his audience, talking to them directly, which is both entertaining and intimate. He will deliver a beautiful, bluesy show that you will want to catch at Summerfest this year.
