12:00 pm-3pm Brian & the Mississippi Valley Dutchmen- New Day!

In a small west central Wisconsin village about 30 miles east of the Mississippi River lived a young farm boy whose roots were embedded deeply into old time folk music. Brian Brueggen, born in 1965, has carried on a family tradition that goes back to the 1800’s. Being the youngest of five children, it was not unusual for Brian’s dad and all of the children to sit in the kitchen and play music. At the age of 3, Brian’s grandfather told everyone that Brian would be a great musician one day. Being a concertina player himself, Grandpa Herman was correct. At the age of 6, Brian began playing the trumpet. After a couple of years, he joined his dad’s band playing the second trumpet. Not being fully satisfied he decided to sneak into his dad’s closet and try out the concertina. When his dad was off driving school bus Brian would practice the concertina. http://www.mississippivalleydutchmen.com/

9:00 pm Forgotten Highway, Live–John Litscher Pavilion

The perfect harmony between today’s modern country hits and yesterday’s country classics, Forgotten Highway prides itself on being able to successfully walk the line between the two worlds. Combining the guitar sounds of the 1950s and integrating them with modern country and acoustic instruments has given Forgotten Highway one of the most unique country voices on the scene today. Teaming up with some of the most talented musicians in the midwest has allowed front men Hunter and Andrew the opportunity to create and refine a sound that is as unique as anything that comes out of Nashville today. After touring for only 2 years, performing at Country on the River and playing on main stages of church festivals and Fourth of July parties seemed to be the pinnacle of their success. But Forgotten Highway has made it clear that they are not at all done, as they opened for many of Country Music’s finest musicians including Joe Nichols, Big & Rich, Phil Vassar, .38 Special, Jake Owen, Gary Allan, Chris Cagle, Lonestar, Little Texas, and Sawyer Brown over the course of the past few years. Forgotten Highway is making their mark on country music one song at a time. https://www.forgottenhighwayofficial.com/home
