What We Know, When We Know It

When we know, we say so.
'Til then, we zip our lip and kick back at the shack.
All of which is to say...  as little as possible.
Just enough to prime your prying eyes for the latest updates to the calendar below.

Eleventh Hour Update

The Birddog Blues Band will NOT be playing at Lone Girl Brewing in Waunakee this evening (July 7). Somebody in the band, and we won't name names (it was Mel), came down with COVID. He feels bad and feels bad about messing up the performance schedule. We say, "que sera, sera."

The Bill Roberts Trio rides to the rescue for those who want to hear music while quaffing brews on the Lone Girl rooftop.
