2016 FISHSTOCK
Music Series Concert Schedule
BY MICHAEL CASPER
Door County’s most beloved music
venue isn’t a bar, an auditorium, or a clas-
sic theater, but a 100-year-old dairy barn
nestled among fields in the middle of the
peninsula.
Dr. Steve Ellmann is the jack-of-all
liason.
He’s been in bands since he was eleven,
played trumpet for the Norfolk Symphony
while attending the Virginia School of
Music, he’s toured Europe with an 18-piece
big band.
“I’ve been involved with music my
entire life,” Dr. Ellmann said “it makes my
soul feel better.”
Years ago, Dr. Ellmann, who at the
time was managing a bar in Fish Creek,
Wisconsin, would hire his father’s Dixie-
land Jazz band to play over the Memorial
and Labor Day holidays.
“And we jammed the place,” Ellmann
said. “Until I decided to find and hire six
Dixieland musicians to come and play at
the bar, six nights a week. I immediately
needed a place for them to stay. So I found
an old farm house with eight bedrooms,
six for the band members and two for my
bartenders. One of the bartenders was my
brother, David.”
Steve eventually pursued his PhD,
while his brother ‘bought the farm.’
“He turned the house and some of the
out-buildings into a summer residence for
kids that worked for the county,” Ellmann
said. “Over time, local folk groups and
musicians would do impromtu shows in
the barn for whatever they could make by
passing the hat.”
Then one year David threw a Labor
Day weekend party.
“It was for all the kids that had worked
up there all summer,” Ellmann said “not
just at his place, but throughout the
county. For 5-bucks a head there were all
the brats and corn on the cob you could
eat, and all the beer you could drink, and
music until everybody fell down (laugh).”
It eventually became slightly more

formal in that they held intimate folk
concerts in the barn loft, and bigger shows
downstairs with lights and sound.
“I’ve been running lights along with
Stewart Dawson who has worked with
the Albuquerque Opera Company, for
a long time now,” Ellmann said “He’s
crazy, but good (laugh). And I’ve been
doing the sound since the inception, and
producing the shows at what’s known as
‘Camp David.’ David booked the bands
and organized things. It’s a family affair.
My mother, until she passed away last
November, used to bring flowers for all the
concerts and decorate the stage. My sister
Carol has now taken over flower duty.”
In July, the Fishstock Concert Series
at Camp David Party Barn will begin its
21st season of bringing acclaimed musi-
cians to the most unconventional of stages.
Established favorites like Memphis picking
extraordinaire Eric Lewis and songwriter
Chris Irwin return, joined by the likes of
jazz virtuoso Janet Planet and the acoustic
swing of Mal-O-Dua.
“I’m really excited about this lineup,
with favorites returning and some new
blood invigorating the stage,” Ellmann
said. “We’re maintaining the vibe and
aesthetic of the place that people love, that
makes it so special, but with some new
sounds to attract new audiences and some
new technical advancements to make it
easier for people to attend.”
The Fishstock Concert Series gave
bluegrass and folk music a Door County
platform two decades
ago, introducing
acts from around
the country to Door
County audiences
in a barn where the
setting sun squeezes
through cracks in the
barnwood. Musicians
like Lewis, Tommy
Burroughs, Jimmy
Davis, and Karen Mal
have since become
staples of the penin-
sula’s music scene with
a genre rarely heard
before the venue with
a funny name opened
its doors to them.
“We do a regular
season,” Ellmann said “musicians come
from all over the country to play and sing...
it’s a unique singer/songwriter venue.”
None of the people who work at Camp
David get paid.
“We don’t have any big money behind
us,” Ellmann said “we either make it at the
door, or it comes out of my pocket. We’re
competing for the audiences who go to
other local free concerts that are funded by
the room tax dollars. We’re trying real hard
to make it survive.”
Fishstock is even becoming higher tech
by now selling tickets in advance online for
the first time.
Follow the signs down the gravel drive-
way off County Road F and Maple Grove
Road just east of Fish Creek. Park in the
field where you’re welcome to tailgate.
You’ll find seating in the barn for 150, and
more room outside under a newly built
over-hang roof, over the slab in the barn-
yard where they will video-project the show
going on inside on the side of the barn.
They offer free Collectivo Coffee, and soda,
and tea.
“Or you can bring a bottle of wine,”
Ellmann said “maybe a cigar, hangout and
enjoy the music.”

It is often said that everyone is Irish on
St. Patrick’s Day.
On Saturday, June 11th and Sunday,
June 12th, there is an opportunity to
make it a two-fer as The 8th Annual
Oshkosh Irish Fest returns to The Leach
Amphitheater.
The festival has grown in popularity
and has been voted “Best Local Festival”
five times in the Reader’s Choice Poll con-
ducted by The Oshkosh Northwestern.
“You don’t have to be Irish to have fun.
Everyone is welcome,” said Matt Miller,
founder and president of Irish Fest. “It’s
a great opportunity to try ethnic foods,
learn about the culture – we have vendors
who sell everything from Irish jewelry to
kilts - and listen to some wonderful festive
music.”
Oshkosh Irish Fest is a family-friendly
event that benefits local charities, to date,
over $140,000 has been raised. It features
Irish entertainment and activities for the
entire family including Irish and Celtic
music, Irish dance groups, demonstrations
on Irish sports and a variety of cultural
information displays.
“We highlight the impact the Irish
have had on northeast Wisconsin,” Miller
said. “After German, Irish is the second-
largest ancestry in the area.”
In addition to two days of fun, the
festival contributes to the greater good.
“We are most proud of the number
of volunteers involved, the amount of
money raised for local charities and what
we are giving back to the city,” Miller said.
“Restaurants, shops, hotels and pubs all
benefit.”
For the wee ones, there is Little Lepre-
chaun Land with inflatables for the kids.
The ever-popular band Gaelic Storm
– you may recall them from the movie,
“Titantic” - will headline, and are joined
during the two days by many other of
the “best Irish and Celtic,” live bands and
dancers including Leahy’s Luck, Ken-
nedy’s Kitchen, Ian Gould, and more.
The World Champion Trinity Irish
Dancers will perform on Saturday before
they leave for their tour in Belgium and
the Netherlands.
“The Trinity Irish Dancers have won
multiple world championships,” Miller
said. “They are comparable to the Broad-
way show, River Dance.”
Local Oshkosh celebrities will partici-
pate in curroch races on the river.
“A curroch is an ancient Celtic wooden
boat,” Miller said.
The festival kicks off with a 5K Run/
Walk that starts and ends at The Leach.
“It’s a timed run, but it’s also just a fun
run as well,” Miller said.
All participants in the 5K Run/Walk
– it costs $20 to pre-register and $25 the
day of – get a free T-shirt and free admis-
sion to the festival.
“If you pre-register at any RunAway
Shoe Store, you will also get a free bever-
age of your choice,” Miller added.
One of the unique features of the fes-
tival is provided by The Irish Wolfhound
Club.
“All Irish-breed dogs are invited to
the festival,” Miller said. “The Irish wolf-
hounds are on display and are there to pet
and play with. They’re pretty impressive.
They’re like horses.”
All of the events proceeds go to charity,
but Miller notes that “if you pre-register,
you can save some money.”

ENTERTAINMENT // APPLETON CELEBRATES SUMMER
Appleton CelebratesSummer
BY GEORGE HALAS
Celebrating its 25th anniversary this
year, Appleton Downtown Inc. (ADI) is
inviting everyone to enjoy the summer
with the return of two free summer music
series. The 11th annual Heid Music
Summer Concert series, and the 5th
annual Lunchtime Live! series.
“Every year, we try to make each series
the best we can,” said ADI Marketing
Director Anne Wiegman. “The lineups are
a mix of returning favorites with some of
the best up-and-coming bands. ADI is very
proud to offer as many free events as pos-
sible every year and we are committed to
doing that in the future. We want to make
arts and music accessible to everyone.”
The Heid Music Summer Concerts
Series features many of Wisconsin’s best
bands every Thursday evening through
September 1st. Houdini Plaza will be
the place for music three Thursdays each
month; the series moves to Jones Park
along the riverfront for Vic Ferrari Sym-
phony on The Rocks on June 23rd, 2016
WAMI Cover Artist of The Year Boogie
and The Yo-Yo’s on July 28th and perennial
favorite Boxkar on August 25th.
“Last year was the first time we were
able to offer Vic Ferrari Symphony on The
Rocks for free and it was very popular, so
we are very happy to do it again this year,”
Wiegman said. “Without selling tickets,
it’s hard to say how many people were
there, but it was wall-to-wall concertgoers.”
Like last year, the band will include The
HD Horns – Ken Skitch on trombone,
Jack Naus on trumpet and Chris Felts
playing all kinds of sax and flutes, but “the
set list will be 30% different than last year,”
said Mike Bailey, Vic Ferrari vocalist and
multi-instrumentalist. “We now have 50 to
60 different arrangements. It’s a luxury for
us that we can play that many new songs.”
Based on last year’s record crowd – “we
heard many numbers,” Bailey said – the
sound system will be beefed up to ensure
that everyone is treated to the full Sym-
phony on The Rocks experience.
“We’ve got to play for the people who
are 10 feet in front of us and the people
who are 500 feet away,” he emphasized.
“We want to connect with everybody. The
cool thing about last year was that every-
one congregated in one place for one night.
Not all the people were there to see the
band; some were there to see their friends
and be part of a great crowd. I like that –
it’s kinda cool.”
RPM opens the series at Houdini Plaza
on June 2nd, The Jimmys will be there
June 9th and, in response to requests for
some country, Grand Union plays on June
16th, and Unity the Band on the 30th.
In July, Houdini will host Ask Your
Mother on July 7th, The Love Monkeys on
July 14th, and The Cool Waters Band on
July 21st.
Mistrial hits Houdini on August 11th,
Road Trip will be featured on August 18th
and WAMI People’s Choice Award winner
Spicy Tie Band wraps the series up on
September 1st.
On August 4th, the Heid Music series
will partner with Mile of Music to show-
case at Houdini Plaza some of the artists
and bands coming to Appleton from four
countries and 26 states.
Lunchtime Live offers more than just
great music.
“The lunch time series has grown in
popularity but is still an underutilized
resource,” Wiegman noted. “It’s a great
opportunity to get away from the office to
do some brainstorming or just take a nice
break by yourself.”
Wiegman also pointed out that ven-
dors will be on site selling food for both
the lunch and evening series, “or you can
grab some take-out from one of the many
nearby restaurants.”
The Lunchtime Live concerts take place
in Houdini Plaza on Thursdays from 11:30
a.m. to 1:00 p.m. ADI has assembled a
star-studded lineup featuring a number of
fast-rising artists with newly released CD’s
of original music.
Tom Winch gets the party started on
June 2nd, followed by a Street Music Week
Feature Artist, Red Verses on June 9th, Vic
Ferrari guitarist and vocalist Russ Reiser on
the 16th, John Lambert on the 23rd and
Dr. Dobbe on June 30th.
Street Music Week is June 6-10,
and during this annual fundraiser, musi-
cians play outside storefronts from noon
until 1pm and donate all tips to Feeding
America. Every $1 donation provides
three meals for those in need.
July gets hot with Tim Dorsey on July
7th and Patchouli on the 14th. The Erin
and Jeff Duo (Krebs and Johnston) will
perform songs off their new CD on July
21st and Blake Welhouse plays on the 28th.
Peridot brings its original music and
new EP to Houdini on August 4th, Miss
Molly will bring “Snow” on the 11th,
Eddie Biebel plays on the 18th, multiple
WAMI-nominee Kyle Megna performs his
original music on the 25th and Timber-
Moon Bluegrass closes the season out on
September 1st.
In addition to Heid Music, both series
receive support from BMO Harris Bank,
Mill Creek, General Beer, WI Distribu-
tors, Habash, Habash and Rottier S.C.,
IPS Testing, Fox Cities Signs & Lighting,
Tundraland, AZCO Inc., Atrium Health
& Senior Living, West Corporation, and
Festival Foods.
ADI is a non-profit advocacy source for
businesses and merchants in Downtown
Appleton and Wiegman points out that
“Downtown Appleton has eighteen live
music venues to enjoy year-round, but
many of the venues move their music to
the outdoors during summer for even
greater enjoyment!”

ENTERTAINMENT // ENERGY FAIR
BY MICHAEL CASPER
Each year, The Energy Fair brings over
15,000 attendees together to learn about
clean energy and sustainability, connect
with others, and take action towards a
more sustainable future.
Located in Custer, Wisconsin, seven
miles east of Stevens Point, nestled in the
heart of central Wisconsin, surrounded
by rolling hills, lakes, trout streams, and
beautiful woodlands. Custer has been the
home of The Energy Fair since 2002.
The Fair features over 250 workshops
and over 200 exhibitors, with live music,
inspiring keynotes, and activities for the
whole family. Hosted by the Midwest
Renewable Energy Association in Central
Wisconsin, The Energy Fair is the longest-
running event of its kind in the nation.
Allison Lindquist is the events coordi-
nator of the Midwest Renewable Energy
Association.
“As always we have a great line up of
keynote speakers,” Lindquist said “includ-
ing Nomi Prins a political-financial expert,
journalist and author. Prins is widely
sought-after for her unique perspective on
politics, finance, and the economy. She’ll
be speaking on how regulations can help
push policies forward to benefit the public,
and speaking to energy and campaign
finance and energy policies specifically.”
John Farrell is also scheduled as a
keynote speaker. Farrell is Director of
Democratic Energy at the Institute for
Local Self-Reliance.
“In recent years there has been a lot
of excitement over renewable energy,”
Lindquist said “with the cost of solar
coming down, and battery technology
improving. John will talk on distributing
energy on a local level and becoming more
energy-independent.”
And Sandrine Mubenga, who is
the founder and Chief Executive Officer of
SMIN Power Group which has offices in
the DRC and in the USA and specializes
in providing affordable electricity to com-
munities using renewable energies (par-
ticularly solar including hydroelectricity,
fuel cell, biomass, wind, etc). Currently,
Sandrine is the Electrical Engineering
Manager at the University of Toledo.
“Sandrine recently traveled abroad,”
Lindquist said “having taught those who
did not have access to harnessing solar

He received the Master
Front-line Interpreter award
from the National Asso-
ciation for Interpretation in
November 2001. He sings
and engages audiences of all
ages in nature study. Using
live creatures and animal
artifacts, songs, and short
stories, David gets down
with his audiences, and
makes learning fun.
“In all we have around
280 workshops planned,”
Lindquist said. “New this
year are the vehicles provid-
ing clean transportation,
examples of the improve-
ments being made and the
recent technology advances,
like electric bikes! Plus there
will be a couple Teslas on the
grounds.”
Christina Nichols, Senior
Executive Technical Advisor
for the SunShot Initiative, will speak about
Solar Ready Vets.
“The Solar Ready Vets program con-
nects our nation’s skilled veterans to the
solar energy industry,” Lindquist said
“preparing them for careers as solar pho-
tovoltaic (PV) system installers, inspectors,
sales reps, and other solar-related occupa-
tions. Solar Ready Vets is enabled by the
U.S. Department of Defense’s SkillBridge
initiative, which allows exiting military
personnel to pursue civilian job training,
employment skills training, apprentice-
ships, and internships up to six months
prior to their separation.”
There will be plenty to see, do and learn
at this year’s fair.
“A couple years ago we built a wood-
fired pizza oven during the fair,” Lindquist
said “we’ll be talking about the process of
how-to build one of your own, and we’ll
also be baking sour dough pizzas in the one
we built. Plus, Saturday night there will
be a band playing. They’re called Phox,
and are an up-and-coming group out of
Baraboo.”
There is a pre-fair guide available online
and in print. See the guide for a sneak
preview of all workshops, exhibitors, activi-
ties, and more featuring a user-friendly new

ENTERTAINMENT // GREEN LAKE FESTIVAL OF MUSIC
BY MICHAEL CASPER
In 1979, the choral director and voice
teacher at Ripon College, David Morris,
had a dream of creating a music festi-
val. He and community members from
Green Lake, Ripon and the Fox Valley got
together and made it a reality.
By the summer of 1982 Morris had
invited the renowned choral conductor,
Sir David Willcocks, to lead a weeklong
choral workshop during the festival.
“That was an important part in the
early days of the festival,” Laura Deming,
executive director of the Green Lake Festi-
val of Music said. “The vision and mission
of the founders was always to provide high
quality classical music to an area that didn’t
have its own professional music group like
say, the Milwaukee Symphony. Thirty-
seven years ago the kinds of concerts we
perform now, were rare. These concerts
and performances take place right here in
this gorgeous resort town of Green Lake, as
well as events held at Ripon College, and
in Oshkosh.”
There are four segments to the Festival
of Music.
“One is the concert series,” Deming
said “which usually starts the season fea-
turing young artists. On June 10th the
Trio Lago Verde, which translated means
‘Green Lake Trio,’ who are comprised of
musicians who met at the chamber music
camp last year, will perform. They are 13
and 14 years old.”
The second segment is the Chamber
Music Camp.
“It’s a very intensive two-week experi-
ence for kids from all over the world,”
Deming said “in the past we’ve had young
musicians from Syria, Mexico, Canada...
this truly is an international camp.”
Auditions are held,
and the kids are selected
by the Festival’s artistic
director Tom Rosen-
berg who himself is an
accomplished cellist
from St. Paul, Min-
nesota. Rosenberg is
also artistic director of
the prestigious Fischoff
Chamber Music Com-
petition.
“Tom knows a lot
of people in ‘world’
of chamber music,”
Deming said “and draws
the highest level of stu-
dents to come here. He
himself went through
a very highly regarded
chamber music program
when he was a student, and now some
of his colleagues come to Green lake and
serve as faculty members.”
The third branch of the Festival is the
Choral Institute.
“Singers from all around the country
and world,” Deming said “performing
the great choral works with the chamber
orchestra after four days of workshops, and
rehearsals.”
The Festival’s fourth segment is a series
of free concerts performed at local public
libraries.
“It’s all underwritten by a wonderful
donor, Thomas Caestecker,” Deming said
“a fifth generation Green Lake resident,
the son of a professional violinist. The
Caestecker family has been very gener-
ous having helped fund the building
of the Green Lake Public Library. The
Caestecker’s have an art gallery within
Ripon College with their name on it, and
every year Thomas brings the Milwaukee
Symphony to Ripon College. He too had
a dream. And his was to bring free con-
certs to families, and kids. So we do six
library concerts in Green Lake, Princeton,
Berlin, Fond du Lac, Ripon and Oshkosh.
He underwrites three of the concerts,
and we also get a generous contribution
from Oberreich Foundation in Fond du
Lac. And in Oshkosh, the Oshkosh Area
Community Foundation helps sponsor the
library concert, so we have really wonder-
ful support for the free family concerts,
but Tom Caestecker started it all with his
funding.”
One important performance of the
many on the summer schedule is on
Wednesday, July 13th.
“The Fauré Requiem,” Deming said
“with a mass choir of singers from area
choruses such as New Voices in Appleton
with Dr. Philip Swan, Oshkosh Chamber
Singers with Herb Berendsen, South Shore
Chorale with Cory Schneider in Fond du
Lac, Ripon Choral Union with Dr. John
Hughes, and others from Beaver Dam,
Madison, Milwaukee, and beyond. Dr.
Stephen Alltop of the famed Chicago
Apollo Chorus will conduct the chorus
and chamber orchestra in composer John
Rutter’s arrangement. If people would like
to sing, they can sign up at the Festival
website greenlakefestival.org or call the
office at 920-748-9398.”
It’s a free concert at First Congrega-
tional Church in Oshkosh at 7:30 p.m.
“It’s in memory of conductor Sir
David Willcocks and organist John Scott,”
Deming said “Sir David led the Green
Lake Festival of Music Choral Institute for
20 years, from1982 - 2002, and John Scott
was organ soloist and choral accompanist
during the Choral Institute’s early years.”
Laura Deming, who is also professional
cellist with the Lyric Opera of Chicago,
will be in the orchestra.
The list of June Master Classes also lead
to some brilliant performances.
“They are very interesting,” Deming
said “because basically they become private
lessons in front of live audiences. There’s
a student who volunteers to play whatever
he or she is working on, and then the
‘master’ or the teacher gives them a lesson
on the piece. It’s a wonderful way for the
students to learn as it can be more difficult
when you’re on the ‘hot seat’ as opposed
to just watching. You can learn so much
from seeing another person demonstrate,
and it’s very exciting when the teacher has
something that immediately improves a
performance.”
There are violin, viola, cello, and piano
master classes.
“And the Calidore String Quartet gives
a master class on string quartets,” she said.
Also coming in July is Christopher
Taylor, an international concert pianist
who happens to teach at UW Madison.
“We’re very lucky to have him close
by,” Deming said “and we look forward to
his performing a senior’s matinee concert
that will include a lunch at the Heidel
House, and then an evening concert at the
Thrasher Opera House in Green Lake.”
The list of entertainment over the
summer also includes the Boston Barn
Concert....yes, a concert in a barn,
V3NTO (correct spelling) a brass trio who
are young, talented players unique in their
interaction with the audience, and a Caba-
ret night at the Thrasher that features a mix
of opera arias and show tunes with Stephen
Alltop accompanying on piano.
“And we also have a German a cappella
group coming back,” Deming said “called
Calmus who were here in 2011. Oh
my gosh, I’ve never heard such singing!
Calmus is comprised of four men and one
woman, and they are simply fun.”
Even if you attended only half of what’s
scheduled for the Green Lake Festival of
Music, you’re guaranteed not just fun, but
entertainment, inspiration, and maybe
even some edification.

I still do. I don’t think it accomplished
anything. And you have that awesome
black wall in Washington with all those
names on it. To me, it’s always been one
of the saddest things in life. I didn’t go. I
was deferred because of medical issues. But
I could’ve easily ended up there. It could’ve
been me. So when one of those guys comes
up and says something like that, it’s really
hard to choke back the tears. Because here’s
the person who lived that experience and
held onto something that I created that
seems rather unsubstantial. The song is
three minutes long, it’s got a few words, a
few notes. In many, many ways it’s sort of
a triviality, but these songs meant so much
to these guys. It makes me feel a lot better
about what I do for a living. To have some
redeeming social value.
JS: You and Richard Harris had a won-
derful partnership in the creation of the
huge hit “MacArthur Park.” What was it
like to work with Richard?
JW: The first time I met him he was
directing an antiwar pageant. There were
a bunch of Hollywood movie stars there
like Edward G. Robinson, Walter Pigeon,
Bob Mitchum, Jean Simmons, so many,
including Mia Farrow and some of the
younger kids. They are doing readings,
poetry, and little scenes. They were all
taken from literature dealing with war and
the unpleasantness of war, the tragedy of
war. I was sent over there to provide back-
ing music. Richard was the director. He
was just this mad Irishman re-creating the
origin of mankind and swinging around
on ropes from platform to platform like
Tarzan. After the gig, he would say (using
a Richard Harris voice), “Ah, Jimmy Webb,
tonight we need to go out and have some
black velvets.” I had no idea what a black
velvet was. We go out in and an hour later
I was lying on the floor seeing the galaxy
spinning. A black velvet is half Guinness
and half champagne. It just clobbers you
and puts you away for the night. One night
out I said, “Richard, we should make a
record.” And he said, “Ah, Jimmy Webb,
you’re right! We should make a record!” I
got a telegram from him a few weeks later
from London saying, “Dear Jimmy Webb -
come to London to make
a record. Richard.” That
was it. He sent tickets, I
got on the 707, took the
polar flight to London.
The next thing I knew
we are making a record
and other things. We
toured Ireland. We set out
to have a drink in every
county in Ireland. I think
we made seven counties
before that fell apart of
its own immensity. We
became the best pals you
could ever imagine. For many years we
were very close. We made two excellent
records together and then he began to
branch out on his own. In my catalog of
unforgettable characters, Richard is very
close to the top! When he left us, he left
this gigantic, vacant void.
JS: Jimmy, you will be performing at
the historic Thrasher opera house in Green
Lake, Wisconsin on Saturday, June 11.
JW: It will be an evening of entertain-
ment. It’s for everybody. It’s for all colors,
all religions, all ages. It’s a fun show. It’s
basically about fun. It’s anecdotal - I tell a
lot of stories. Most of them are very funny,
I like to think. I guarantee an hour and a
half of hits. And it’s the background behind
those hits. It’s how those songs came to be
and how they influenced certain artists that
I’ve worked with. It’s meant to entertain.
I remember the Thrasher very well. It’s a
beautiful little jewel. I’m very excited about
coming back.

ENTERTAINMENT // WATERFEST 31
BY JANE SPIETZ
Summer is almost here and so is Water-
fest! Recently I connected with Waterfest
president Mike Dempsey to get the scoop
on the 31st season of the popular Oshkosh
summer concert series.
JANE SPIETZ: Mike, the musical
lineup for Waterfest 31 is incredible! How
did you manage to bring in so many top
acts this year?
MIKE DEMPSEY: This is the summer
to MAKE AMERICA ROCK AGAIN!,
isn’t it?
Our sponsors and donors challenged
us to deliver a game-changing line up that
continues to distinguish Waterfest as ‘Wis-
consin’s Best Community Concert Series.’
So we beefed up the headliner budget, but
not at the expense of introducing some
new artists to the area and providing local
and regional musicians the opportunity to
be featured as well.
JS: You start off with Styx!
MD: And slide guitar virtuoso Sonny
Landreth on June 16th. Teachers are
FREE on opening night with School ID!
On June 23rd, we rock to 38 Special and
former Cowboy Mouth founder Paul San-
chez and his all Star New Orleans Rolling
Road Show. For July 14th, we reloaded big
with progressive rockers Kansas with their
special guest Henry Gross. On July 23rd,
George Thorogood and The Destroyers
roll into the Leach Amphitheater on their
Badder Than Ever Tour. Sounds a little
Spinal Tapish as a tour title, but Waterfest
fans are lapping up that booking based
upon the early feedback.
JS: Then on August 4th, you start a
five consecutive week run.
MD: On August 11th, we have Rock
Roll Hall of Famer Eric Burdon and The
Animals, which retooled at full throttle.
His tour is getting rave reviews during his
Australian leg of the world tour. August
18th is a 5 way package starting at 5PM
featuring The Wallflowers & Blues Traveler
headlining. G. Love and Special Sauce, as
well as Howie Day, are on the bill too! The
Sept 1st finale’ features Toto with some of
the best musicians ever to enter a recording
studio. We have a few more to announce.
Check out waterfest.org for updates and
details.
JS: Waterfest is known for its “nug-
gets.” Which “nuggets” should we be on
the lookout for this summer?
MD: Sonny Landreth on opening
night is a mind blower if you are a guitar or
blues fan. The Tin Men return from New
Orleans to open June 23rd at 5:30 PM,
dishing out Bourbon Street high and low
rent ear candy. Henry Gross is tucked in
to open July 14th. You might remember
his #1 ‘70s hit about Carl Wilson’s dog
“Shannon” stuck in your head. He was also
a founding member of Sha Na Na, having
played Woodstock while in college. Then
we have both the R&B Cadets and The
Suitcase Junket back-to-back on July 23rd.
The Cadets are a reformed Milwaukee
super group doing a handful of fest dates
this summer and they gave us a date! We
also picked off one of The Mile of Music
crowd-pleasers in The Suitcase Junket on
his way to Canada August 4th. Amasa
Hines is another 2016 Mile of Music group
offered to be dropping in on Waterfest
as a rising star quintet. The Davis Rogan
Band makes his way north from The Big
Easy or some road house romp. Davis was
the featured character in the HBO series
TREME. We have Boston rocker Sarah
Borges and The Broken Singles opening
the dance floor at 5PM on Aug 18th. Her
new release, “A Tendency To Riot” lets the
cat out of the bag, so get there for Sarah’s
set. Then on September 1st, we have rising
star blues sensation Matthew Curry and
The Fury. Think Jonny Lang meets Stevie
Ray Vaughan.
JS: Talk about the pricing and admis-
sion policy for 2016.
MD: With the beefed up roster we
thought we should reward the Waterfest
Warriors who attend 5 or more times a
season. So we have a General Admission
Season pass that gets you in for less than
$12 a night on sale now for $100. Better
yet we have a Reserved Patio Access VIP
Season Pass that gets you up front and per-
sonal for less than $17 a night now on sale
for $150. The Season Passes allow you to
come and go at any time all night. We will
also have a FAST LANE for Season Pass
holders for getting in. The single night VIP
Admission are also heavily discounted at
$30 most nights for shows that would cost
$50-200 or more for that kind of access.
General Admission is tiered, rewarding
early birds. On some nights admission is
as low as $10 if you are in line by 6PM!
Veterans are free all season. Kids under 12
are as well when they bring a parent. Don’t
forget teachers are free opening night with
school ID!
JS: What will be included with the
expanded VIP option?
MD: The Reserved Area Patio Access
will be there waiting for you. There will
be less crowd press and you can wiggle up
front or kick back in some space within
100 feet, effectively a 20 row distance, of
center stage. There is a dedicated cash bar
with wine and craft beers and porta pot-
ties when you need them. While we do
not allow chairs in the reserved area, some
fans bring them and set up on the grass
to chill. They come and go as they please.
Those in the VIP area also can take pride
in helping to keep General Admission to
Waterfest affordable and as inclusive to the
community as possible.
JS: Where can VIP and General Admis-
sion Season passes be purchased?
MD: Call the Oshkosh Chamber of
Commerce at 920-303-2265 x22 or drop
in at the Chamber. Bank First in Oshkosh,
Appleton, and Green Bay also have them. We
do suggest getting them in advance. However,
will-call at the Leach Amphitheater is also sell-
ing them on opening night June 16 and again
on June 23 starting at 4:30PM.
JS: As of today, the Waterfest Facebook
page has grown to 6430 members! It
remains a very valuable communication
tool for fans. It’s always interesting and
informative to view all of the shares and
comments.
MD: Yes, the fans are feisty and
engaged as well. They really let us have it
when we disappoint or fail to communi-
cate on such matters as acts, admission
prices, food and beverage offerings, and so
on. We listen, and it is important to our
keeping True North compass heading. The
Facebook numbers have almost doubled
in the last 24 months. This makes for new
audiences and a lively vibe to go with the
warriors. FYI, we also are on Twitter and
our web is getting heavy attraction as well.
Links to both Facebook and Twitter are on
our waterfest.org page. Hop on!
JS: The Leach Amphitheater is a
fantastic setting in which to experience
Waterfest.
MD: The surface parking, park and
river walk sparkle. The facility is in great
shape and as a venue is best-in-class. No
better place to enjoy music outside on a
warm Wisconsin summer evening with all
your friends, for the price of a movie ticket.
JS: What else do concert goers need to
know about Waterfest 31?
MD: You can come and go as you
please. Keep rain gear and extra layers in
your car! The Season Pass discounts are
unreal. Grab the deal! Come early, pay less,
get more! Tailgate in the park! The River-
side Park lots are fee based and usually have
space if you are coming in late. Thank the
folks at the gates and concessions. They are
all volunteers making your night out pos-
sible. It takes 120 volunteer each night to
please you. Tip generously! This is the year
to MAKE AMERICA ROCK AGAIN!
Spread the word! And last but not least...
be nice or leave. We are all out having a
great time!

ENTERTAINMENT // THE SPANISH INQUISITION
BY GEORGE HALAS
Inquisitors want to know…and need to
know….summer is happening in Neenah.
Neenah StreetBall 3 on 3 turns 25
this year and Future Neenah, the non-
profit that organizes the annual event, has
planned some special activities to celebrate
the occasion. The 25th Annual StreetBall
3 on 3 Basketball Tournament will be held
on June 11th in the streets of Downtown
Neenah. Approximately 1,200 players and
over 10,000 spectators participate in this
premier 3 on 3 tournament.
Pamela Barnes, Event Coordinator for
Future Neenah said, “StreetBall turning 25
is an amazing achievement. When I speak
to players and fans they tell me how much
playing or attending StreetBall is part of
their summer tradition. It’s like a family
reunion for a lot of these players.”
Barnes indicated the hours of StreetBall
will be extended to allow for additional
celebration activities to commemorate 25
years of bringing competitive basketball to
the streets of Neenah.
“We’ll be celebrating StreetBall 25 by
extending the fun into the evening with
Neenah’s first ever StreetDance,” Barnes
said. “Everyone is invited to a free concert
by the popular Milwaukee-based band The
Love Monkeys, and dance in the streets.
The concert will take place in the 200 block
of West Wisconsin Avenue from 5-9 p.m.
Fox Valley Food Truck Association will
be sponsoring a Food Truck Rally to add to
the festive atmosphere. FoodTruck Rally sales
begin at 5 p.m. and run through the concert.
To cap off the 25th annual celebration,
players and concert goers will be able to
remain outside and purchase a specially
brewed StreetBall 25 Lager created by Lion’s
Tail Brewing Co. as they enjoy the concert.
“We especially wanted to give our adult
basketball players a chance to relax and
reminiscence about their day of basketball
triumphs,” Barnes said “by providing an
opportunity for them to listen to great
music by The Love Monkeys and enjoy a
celebratory toast.”
Additional StreetBall 25 activities
include an Activity Court with contests
open to all in attendance, the Bergstrom
Shot for a Car Contest, FNB Fox Valley’s
Bungee Slam-Dunk inflatables and activi-
ties provided by The Building for Kids.

***************************************
Erin Krebs is releasing her highly-
anticipated and long-awaited original
music CD, “Love Always Wins,” at a CD
Release Show and Party at Cena on Col-
lege Ave in Appleton on Friday, June 3rd,
from 9 to 11 p.m. For the event, she will
add some of the Fox Valley’s best players
including drummer Michael Underwood,
bassist Justin Zopel and keyboards player
Mark Martin-Kriha, “and some musical
surprises” to Jeff Johnston’s always stellar
guitar work and her distinctive vocals.
***************************************
After months touring the Midwest,
performing and appearing at many
prominent venues, regional radio stations,
television programs, and publications, the
Kansas City-based Attic Light traveled to
Nashville to record The EXILE EP with
producer Dohse and the
band will be spending the
summer touring in sup-
port of the record includ-
ing a date in Green Bay at
Kegger’s on June 16th.
**************************
*************
91.1 The Avenue is
to be commended for
the May 24th River
Roots show at The Meyer
Theater in Green Bay. In
addition to local roots
and an affinity for superb
songwriting, the three performing bands,
headliner Dead Horses with Peridot as
well as Kyle Megna and The Monsoons,
extended the roots metaphor by showcas-
ing their growth. All three kicked it up a
notch over the past year.
Among the changes Sarah Vos of
Dead Horses talked about in last month’s
SCENE, the addition of drums/percussion
to the live shows give the band a lot of new
options and areas of exploration
both musically and energy-
wise. Adding Ross Catterton’s
soprano sax for the encore was
not just inspired but opened
the throttle to escape velocity.
Peridot is more than just
The Hillary Reynolds Band v.2;
Reynolds and Trevor Jarvis have
grown as songwriters and have
more of a synergistic balance in
the creation of the band’s sound
and in their vocal harmonies.
Kyle Megna’s growth has
been both creative and numeri-
cal. The addition of drummer
Mike Underwood and key-
boardist Noah Harmon to The
Monsoons expanded Megna’s
musical options while adding
Catterton on saxophones and
Kurt Shipe playing trumpet
brings dimensions and energy that comple-
mented without changing the essence and
foundation of a very good live band. The
Monsoons are like an NFL team that had
four number one picks in a single draft
who are all playing very well together with
the veterans.
Even cooler, all these bands are growing
to get better.

ENTERTAINMENT // POSTCARD FROM MILWAUKEE
BY BLAINE SCHULTZC
In 1979 music was changing.
In the Fox Valley, fans of underground
music had few choices where to find the
goods. WAPL featured a few hours of new
music each week. Music that was not
released on corporate-run major labels.
Record stores like The Mad Hat-
teur in Oshkosh, and Fond du Lac, or
Pipe Dreams in Appleton may get you a
taste. A gay bar might host a “New Wave
Night.” But mostly it was word of mouth
from friends who traveled to big cities.
Your best bet was two music
magazines. These satellites were a pair of
monthly publications. CREEM Magazine
was based in Michigan and did a great job
of covering much of the interesting music
Rolling Stone had given up on. With
a legendary stable of writers who were
both witty (smart ass) and knowledgeable
(smart), CREEM set a standard that many
underground fanzines later aimed for.
A partial list of contributors includes
Nick Tosches, Lester Bangs, R. Meltzer,
Jaan Uhelszki, Susan Whitall, John
Mendelsohn, Gregg Turner, Billy Altman,
Robert Christgau, Ed Ward, Bill Hold-
ship, John Kordosh and a bunch of others
who were not slouches.
Trouser Press was based in NYC and
had something of a British edge. Led
by the fearless Ira Robbins, along
with Dave Schulps, a huge part of the
magazine’s legacy was the Record Guides
they published along with the monthly
issues. These were invaluable sources of
information.
But these magazines also offered
another portal. The classified ads located
in the back pages led to mail order lists of
unknown LP’s, 45s and bootleg record-
ings. For budding record hounds, ground
zero was shops like Bleeker Bob’s and Metro
Music. And a name that popped up often
was the label Ork Records.
According to guitarist Richard Lloyd,
Atlantic Records’ Ahmet Ertegun said of
Television, “I can’t sign this band. This is
not earth music.” If you can dig that, Ork
Records: New York, New York (Numero
Group) is a compilation just for you. The
tentacles of this collection grow like a levia-
than (Academic reference #1), with con-
nections that are influencing music today.
By 1975 The Velvet Underground and
the New York Dolls had left their marks
on a fecund and vibrant music scene that
grew out of a Bowery bar called CBCG’s.
A movie buff, Terry Ork had connections
to this new music and began releasing
records on his label as well as associated
labels Shake, Fun, Lust/Unlust, Ice Water
and Car, with the help of Charles Ball and
Jon Tiven.
Arguably the record this whole story is
based upon is Ork’s release of Television’s
groundbreaking 7-inch “Little Johnny
Jewel, Parts 1 & 2,” an atmospheric blend
of a riff and then a modal levitation. Ork
would also be involved with the release of
tracks by The Neon Boys (embryonic Tele-
vision) and Richard Hell and the Voidoids
(Television’s bassist gone solo).
Years before Patti Smith guitarist/
rock journalist Lenny Kaye compiled the
ultimate punk collection Nuggets, he
recorded his own garage record under the
name Link Cromwell which is included
here, and as an archival nod that holds
its own. Even Lester Bangs jumped the
chasm form writer to artist with a chaotic
blast that featured Voidoid Robert Quine.
British journalist Mick Farren covered the
Rolling Stones as well as a tune he co-wrote
with Hawkwind’s Lemmy Kilmister.
As evidence to the depth of talent, New
York Dolls drummer Jerry Nolan’s band
The Idols crank out a pair of cuts that could
have been Dolls/Heartbreakers tracks.
Likewise, Dead Boys guitarist Cheetah
Chrome pulls a similar trick, and steps
out on two cuts that could have passed for
Dead Boys tunes. Lloyd, on vacation from
Television reworks a pair of Stones gems,
“Connection,” and “Get Off My Cloud.”
How deep was that well, you ask?
Consider The Marbles...historically a
footnote, their “Red Lights and Fire and
Smoke” is about as close to a perfect 45 as
you will find anywhere, any time, nailing
a proto-power pop hook with a moody
B-side.
In 1977, a good decade before Alex
Chilton became a Power Pop deity via
Big Star, very few people realized (or
even cared) he had already destroyed that
albatross by recording “Bangkok,” a genius
slice of demented rockabilly reduction,
as well as the shambolic EP “The Singer
Not the Song,” (Thanks Earwaves!). The
evidence is here.
The title cut of Chilton’s EP was to be
included on a proposed Rolling Stones
tribute album called “Sun Blotted From
the Sky,” whose incomplete track list sug-
gests it would have not only been the first,
but the best in what would become a glut-
ted and watered down cottage industry in
the era of Alternative Rock.
Suspects included Television’s Richard
Lloyd (“Connection/Get Off My Cloud”)
and Mick Farren (“Play with Fire”). The
Feelies would eventually release “Paint It
Black,” on A&M Records in 1990.
(Chilton once told me he was going
to record “Like a Rolling Stone,” for the
compilation, a comment that now seems to
have been for his amusement.)
Prix, a band based around Tiven,
Tommy Hoehn and Big Star’s Chris Bell
contribute a handful of tracks that sound
like nothing less than outtakes from Big

Star’s Radio City. (A full album of material
was last to be released by HoZac Records.)
By the early Eighties it had become pos-
sible to track down some of these records. I
spent many hours digging through crates
in record stores in Madison, Eau Claire,
Minneapolis and Milwaukee. Hearing
this compilation pointed me to Marcel
Proust’s Remembrance of Things Past (Aca-
demic reference #2). Long gone places and
events rushed back. The right song at the
right time still works magic.
The marketing of New Wave music and
the success of MTV was in part shepherded
by this music. Ork would remain an
obscure point of reference, but the Feelies
would later become something of a college
radio favorite...here they contribute an
early version of “Fe Ce la.”
Perhaps the key to this whole collection
is Chris Stamey, a North Carolina native
who was a huge Big Star and Television fan
who came to NYC to play bass with Alex
Chilton and also collaborated with Richard
Lloyd. Stamey put out his own band, the
dB’s records as well as one by The H-Bombs
(which included future dB Peter Holsapple
and Let’s Active’s Mitch Easter – both bud-
dies from the Tarheel State.)
Stamey’s brilliant kitchen-sink produc-
tion on his “If and When,” “I Thought You
Wanted to Know,” and “Summer Sun,”
are equaled by his witty lyrics. He still
produces and releases fine records. Stamey
would also release “I Am the Cosmos,” Big
Star founder Chris Bell’s final record before
his tragic death in 1978.
Arguably, the godfather of punk was
Terry Ork, a gay, heroin-using, Jean Luc
Godard-worshipping cinephile. Something
of a B-level Andy Warhol, he swiped the
term “New Wave,” from Godard and
slapped it on the bands playing CBGB’s in
the 1970s.
The rest, as they say, is a shadowy his-
tory...until now.
Numero Group’s compilation Ork
Records: New York, New York tells the
story of ground zero for the Bowery scene
in the cultural vacuum between hippiedom
and punk.

BY JILLIAN DAWSON
From the outside, Riverview Gardens
is probably most often associated as a
beautiful venue for wedding receptions or
one of the many vendors selling colorful
produce in downtown Appleton’s Farmer’s
Market. Dig a little deeper and you’ll find
a resourceful team that has a green thumb
for helping the community.
Riverview Gardens began when they
purchased the building in 2011. It sits
atop 25 acres of organic farmland with a
preserved park open to the public as well
as community center that, partnered with
Stone Cellar, hosts weddings and events.
“It’s a pretty young organization overall.
We’ve done a lot over the last four years,”
notes Jane VanAuken, Director of Brand
Management and Sales. In addition to the
farmland, there is an apiary for the bees,
20 hoop houses and a 7500 square foot
greenhouse over the former pool which
allows the growth
of bulk items that
were not able to
be done on the
farm.
One of
the most
notable
s e r -
v i c e s
offered
a t R i v -
e r v i e w
Gardens are
opportunities
for those in a
transitional phase
of their lives. “Most
of the people in our groups are veterans,”
says VanAuken. The Riverview Gardens
staff works alongside those from the men
and women’s COTS, the Ryan House and
Harbor House teaching them job skills.
“We aren’t teaching anyone to be a farmer
or a baker. These are basic skills like how
to get to work on time, work with your
peers and how to take supervision. All the
things that we take for granted, things they
haven’t had before or lost over a period of
time and need a refresher.” Each person is
part of a 90 day training program with an
evaluation at the 30, 60 and 90 day mark.
After completion of the program, they
assist them with resumes and employment,
working with over 80 local employers
for job placement. Last year they hoped
to assist 150 people and reached nearly
260. “The need is definitely there,” says
VanAuken. .” Jobs include
maintenance around
the grounds, setting
up and tearing
down for events
and seeding,
washing and
p a c k i n g
vegetables
for Commu-
nity Supported
A g r i c u l t u r e
(CSA).
Their newest endeavor is the Riverview
Gardens store, located at 513 W. College
Avenue in downtown Appleton. The store
features fresh produce from the gardens
including honey and baked goods made
from their own ingredients. Additionally,
they feature baked goods from Happy
Bellies bakery, which offers gluten free
options, coffee from Acoca Coffee and wifi.
A ‘Pay-It-Forward’ board allows people to
purchase an extra cup of coffee or bakery
that can be redeemed by someone in need.
Keeping on par with the Garden location,
the store is run by volunteers and those
learning job skills. “This gives us another
outlet to do some more
outsourcing with
people with a great
location close to
public transpor-
tation.” While
R i ver vie w
G a r d e n s
h a s a n
emphasis on
assisting veter-
ans, Van Auken
notes, “We want
this to be a comfortable and safe place for
people to come. Everyone is welcome.”
The store houses several floors and leas-
ing opportunities for other programs. The
Fox Valley Humane Association plans to
do Pets for Vets on the lower level, which
partners rehabilitated dogs with veterans
to fit their needs. Fox Valley Tech is also
bringing outreach and basic adult educa-
tion to the College Avenue store and an
organization out of Minneapolis that assists
autistic individuals has a pending lease as
well. Additionally, a dedicated group of
volunteers work on bicycles for Riverview
Gardens. “Not having transportation is a
major barrier for people. They can work
for 15 hours and earn a bike.” Each bike
comes with a helmet, lock, light and free
repairs for life.
Riverview Gardens will no longer have
a stand at the Appleton Farmer’s Market
and will instead sell their produce out of
the store on College Avenue. Produce will
be available in store
throughout the
week with the
bulk of their
items for sale
on Satur-
day. Fea-
