WHAT TO DO: In harmony

Thursday, Dec. 8, Harmony Bar, 6 pm

“Bar food, bar none” was the headline on the 1995 Isthmus restaurant review of Atwood Avenue’s storied Harmony Bar. Chef Phil Ladwig has been the man behind the tavern’s delectable specials for the last two decades, but has been unable to work recently due to health issues. A group of local musicians is throwing a benefit concert for Ladwig. The band includes Karen Hein and James Lutz — recently returned to Madison from Austin, Texas — with Frankie Lee and Kenny Koeppler, fronted by guest singers Chuck Bayuk, Kristy Larson, Shari Davis and Tony Kannen.
