Concert on the Shore: Armchair Boogie

July 16 @ 5:00 pm – 9:00 pm

Join us for our July Concert on the Shore!

Presented by WVMO, Armchair Boogie will headline the July date of our free, lakeside music series this summer at San Damiano Park. With opener, Honor Among Thieves, this show will bring blues, rock, funk, and soul energy to the Lake Monona shoreline.

Jamgrass, newgrass, funkgrass, whatever you want to call it— Armchair Boogie is rapidly becoming one of the country’s hottest acts. With an unbounded sound, this Wisconsin-based quartet is known for its powerful harmonies, timeless originals, and choice covers, along with unforgettable live performances. Listed as a “Must-See Roots Artists at Bourbon & Beyond” by The Bluegrass Situation who wrote, “We recently caught this jammy Wisconsin outfit at Earl Scruggs Music Festival, where they burnt down their late-night set.”

Honor Among Thieves has been making original music in this city since 1982. And they’re still writing, still performing, still doing it entirely on their own terms. Their sound has been compared to Tom Waits on cocaine and the bastard love child of Captain Beefheart and Muddy Waters, which should tell you everything you need to know about whether they color inside the lines, which they don’t.

Hosted in partnership with WVMO, this event is only possible because of our community sponsors. Food trucks, beer and non-alcoholic beverages, and opportunities to connect with community partners and one another rounds out this series of events.
