Collaborations with a slew of the region’s musicians led to the gradual and seemingly ongoing formation of Boss Mama and the Jebberhooch, a band that pushes Myhre’s country soul to new levels with deep grooves and a visible sense of joy.

The Spine Stealers + Ross Thorn

$10-$75 | 6:00 PM Doors | 7:00 PM Show | Fest Grounds
THE SPINE STEALERS | The Spine Stealers are a two-gal duo, making spooky folk that is heavily influenced by the northwood pines, 24/7 truck stop diners, heartbreak and dark lakes. Music started by learning guitar together around bonfires in their shared hometown of Sun Prairie, WI during the height of the 2020 pandemic. ROSS THORN |With a pastoral upbringing in northern Wisconsin, Ross Thorn’s music emanates as a warm and soulful hymn, waking up optimistically beside a snow covered window. His sharply crafted lyrics – distinctly reminiscent to the likes of Jason Isbell – reveal internal struggles of empathy, questions of human character and virtue, and a search for hope.

The band’s mix of soul, funk and blues — and the singular mission to get people dancing — has made it a favorite at large festivals, private parties and practically every nightclub stage in the Twin Ports.

Born and raised in a small river town in western Illinois, Adam Herman’s songwriting was informed by his roots early on. With a sound that finds itself somewhere in between Jason Isbell’s inward discovery and Chris Stapleton’s soulful delivery, Herman’s songwriting crystallizes aspects of humanity, conveying a keen sense of the gravity in life, while subtly lined with the celebration that is ultimately called for.
