Arts Fishing Club

media release: Indie rock band Arts Fishing Club's new single “New York Heat” is out now on all platforms. “New York Heat” is off the band’s new EP Supernational Groove to be released August 1^st.    

Frontman Christopher Kessenich says – “I was in a songwriting rut and so i took a little trip to NYC. walking around the city for the first time in my life, i finally got the electricity (heat) that everyone talks about. up in my hotel room tower looking down, i started imagining the millions of lives and stories that were unfolding. NY Heat fell out. it's an homage to always moving forward. to take the risks. step into the heat of love. and to not look back too critically but rather to keep moving!”  

In support of their music the band will be touring all year long. See all tour dates below.  

Arts Fishing Club is more than just a band; they are storytellers, explorers of the human condition, and purveyors of living life boldly. An ethos demonstrated by frontman Christopher Kessenich’s first 4.5 month tour in which he walked 1600 miles along the east coast from Maine to Atlanta to Nashville, played 60 shows, and slept in strangers’ living room floors.  

The boldness that compelled such an adventure is felt in AFC’s electrifying live shows where the band weaves the raw energy of rock and the introspective lyrical honesty of folk to create a sound that is timeless and refreshingly original.  

Whether performing in sold out small clubs or on festival stages (Bonnaroo, Summerfest, Treefort, Mile of Music), their engaging stage presence and ability to connect with fans makes their live performances a cornerstone of their success.  

With a growing fanbase, commitment to pushing their creative boundaries, and an infectiously entertaining live show, Arts Fishing Club is poised to make a lasting impact on the indie music landscape.  

The Gathering Place sits on the north end of the property of Seven Acre Dairy Company on ancestral Ho-Chunk land, atop an ancient Driftless ridge and surrounded by towering old-growth oaks and restored prairie. The Gathering Place holds a stage, general admission and VIP seating, and concessions. A unique feature of the Gathering Place comes from the 1950s, when the Paoli Cooperative Creamery Company Plant excavated part of the hillside to create a pit where they could pump the factory’s whey after the cheesemaking process.  That excavated area now creates a natural amphitheater with stunning views of the Sugar River and local farms.  

The Summer Music Series will feature popular local bands like Mama Digdown's Brass Band, the Cash Box Kings, and the Jimmys alongside of regional and national touring acts the likes of Arts Fishing Club (Nashville), Ryan Charles (Cody, Wyoming), and The Cactus Blossoms (Minneapolis). The Gathering Place also is planning to host future culinary events, traveling comedy acts, and local civic performing arts and music.

“The Gathering Place is a one-of-a-kind outdoor music venue. You have to see it to understand how special it is to sit among the oak trees along the Sugar River in the unique bowl-shape formed during our factory’s earlier cheese-making days. We’re so proud of this summer’s line-up and we’re excited to bring this family-friendly, joyful experience to anyone who enjoys live music outside during the Wisconsin summertime. Bring your blanket or lawn chair and come on out to Paoli!,” said Nic Mink, proprietor.  

Tickets range from $10 to $30. The events are family friendly. Concessions available. No glass and no carry-ins. Tickets, more details, prices, and event times can be found at: https://sevenacredairyco.com/gathering-place-concerts/
