July 19th – Corey Mathew Hart
Thanks for your support: McFee on Main and Sunn Cafe
From the time Corey Mathew Hart started singing at a young age, his voice has amazed audiences. “The human voice is such a wonderfully complex instrument. So often, words can fail to portray the whole meaning or idea you are trying to get across, but in song you can convey more emotion and add more depth and dimension to the written word,” says Hart. And he does just that with a voice and songs that earned Hart two MAMAs (Madison Area Music Association awards) in 2011, one for best male vocalist and the other for best Folk/Americana album. Most recently, Corey won the Overture Rising Stars competition in 2014 and has been selected as a finalist in the 2015 NewSong songwriting competition. In recent years, Hart has performed as a member of The Mascot Theory, as well as other Madison area musicians. His current band, Lost Lakes, is turning heads both locally and nationally. His latest single “Heaven Help Me” was released in November of 2022.

July 26th – Mad City Jug Band
Thanks for your support: MHTC and Norsk Golf Club
We are America’s Most Adequate Jug Band!™ The Mad City Jug Band plays classic jug band music, blues and pop music from the 1920s and ’30s as well as hits made popular during the 1960s jug band revival by musicians like the Grateful Dead, John Sebastian, and the Jim Kweskin Jug Band. And then there are the hokum tunes from early 1900s where sly lyrics and euphemistic references earn G-ratings even though the songs tend to be about sex, booze and controlled substances. Got the Salty Dog Blues? Need some southern eel? How about some jelly roll? We can tell you all about it and right in front of the kids, too. The Mad City Jug Band is a hoot and is sure to make you smile, dance and clap your hands. Are you ready to have some fun?
