McPike Park 202 S. Ingersoll St., Madison, Wisconsin 53703
Don't look now, but Old 97's have been part of our musical life for more than a quarter-century. They gained notice (and a devoted following) with maximum energy shows playing roots rock songs with punk fury, before amplifying their catchy pop side for a couple albums for Elektra. Since that brush with becoming full-blown pop stars the quartet has continued doing what they do best: writing great songs and playing the heck out of them, genre definitions be damned. Driveway Thriftdwellers open this Sessions at McPike concert, which also features music in the tent during set breaks by Cicada Rhythm.
press release: The first of five August Sessions will feature two one-hour sets by the fabulous Old 97's. The Driveway Thriftdwellers will be perfect in the opener role. Great food and drink vendors will be on hand and the night will benefit Omega School . A special tribute to Milt McPike will take place between the first and second sets thanks to Solidarity Realty.
