Wisconsin Folk Fest
With The Mascot Theory, Lost Lakes, Buffalo Gospel, Old Soul Society.
Majestic Theatre 115 King St., Madison, Wisconsin 53703
Folk music’s flag will fly high at this festival featuring Sconnie practitioners and some amazing vocalists. Form-busting music from The Mascot Theory features precise four-part vocal harmonies, and the fine voices of Lost Lakes’ Corey Mathew Hart and Paul Mitch are worth the price of admission. Ryan Necci’s Milwaukee-based Buffalo Gospel updates the heartaches of Townes Van Zandt, and Old Soul Society (pictured) successfully stretches the genre into rock and blues without losing the lyrical mission that makes folk music folk.
