Gin Mill Hollow

For more than eight years and 500+ shows the ever-evolving Americana outfit Gin Mill Hollow has been showcasing their unique approach to string-band music throughout the mid-west and beyond. Born as an acoustic duo at the Up North Bar in Madison, Wisconsin, the group found traction in the area after adding mandolin and eventually percussion to the mix. As a four-piece band, Gin Mill Hollow's performances sound more like a rock show, often with electric guitar and effected mandolin solos soaring over driving rhythm and harmony. Blending genres like bluegrass and folk with jazz and blues, the live experience is enhanced by an engaging lighting display, syncing the aural and visual senses. With two studio albums to their credit, the band continues to write new material with plans to record and release these works in various media formats.

Wise Jennings

Wise Jennings has developed a reputation in the Milwaukee music scene for delivering powerful performances and developing their own unique musical genre. They are now being asked to play multiple music festivals every year and are on the cusp of something big.

Watching Wise Jennings perform is a really captivating experience. Melissa plays the drums, harmonica, and sings. Jeff sings, plays a unique guitar setup and a custom foot-pedal bass rig that he plays with his...feet. Two people on stage but sounds like a four piece band and looks like a choreographed circus.

"Wise Jennings is setting the gold standard for songwriting in the Milwaukee scene."

"Best songwriting I've heard in years."

"Watching the two of them is amazing and mesmerizing."

"Some of the most generous and supportive people you could find...among musicians."
