Hi long time no post, we are bringing the music back to the people this year with a return at the end of September. We want to know who you want to hear. Your favorite band, your boyfriends band, your girlfriends band, your grandkids band, hell even your OWN band. Let us know who you want to see and we will try to make it happen. We are back and ready to showcase some new original music in the QCA near the banks of the Sturgeon Bay.
