FEVER RIVER STRING BAND
THURSDAY, JULY 7
Fever River String Band is an old timey fiddle and string band from Southwester Wisconsin. The group plays mostly old time, string band, ragtime, appalacian and a few other genre mixes as well - mostly Pre-WWII stuff - so that means they are not bluegrass genre based. Although it's been awhile since they've graced the Shullsburg Music in the Park Concert stage, it won't take long for your feet to remember how to tap to the music!

MADTOWN MANNISH BOYS
THURSDAY, JULY 21
The Madtown Mannish Boys are a Madison-based Blues band who are steeped in Chicago-style Blues, including artists like Muddy Waters, Junior Wells, Otis Spann, Paul Butterfield, and Little Walter. They perform with raw exuberance and driving rhythms that make you want to boogie. Some of their tunes are harmonica-driven, played with gritty fervor and intense energy. Others are soulful ballads, heavily influenced by the likes of Otis Redding and Sam Cooke. This mix of styles and genres makes for an entertaining and dynamic show that you won’t want to miss.
Andy Smith has a powerful and soulful voice, reminiscent of some of the greats from Blues and R&B. Paul Schwoerer wields his harmonica with a chip on his shoulder and his vocals are gripping and yet smooth. Jesse “Honey Boy” Steinberg injects melodic flurries of guitar riffs into the lively grooves laid down by Tim Payne (bass) and John Payne (drums). Todd Phipps is one of the most sought-after Blues keyboardists in the Midwest. He is a sponsored artist by Hammond Organ and plays with various other bands
in the Midwest.
