Taking Advantage

Some say that "the livin' is easy" in summertime (it was Ira Gershwin, actually), and we hope that's true for you and yours. What's certain is that there's live music coming to a neighborhood near you, and not just from MAMA winning band BirdDogBlues (see schedule below), so take advantage of the opportunities.

(And check back here often for updates!)

The McMusical Calendar

Thursday, July 18

Fun folkers Faux Fawn (the brain child of prolific and singular songwriter Paul Otteson) perform in the spacious and comfortable backyard at the McFarland House Cafe (5923 Exchange St. in McFarland).
6 to 8 pm

Sunday, July 21

Mel Ford & Fairlane serve up a smorgasbord of blues-flavored standards and raucous rarities with acoustic guitar, upright bass, and down-home vocals on the patio at Tofflers Pub & Grill in New Glarus

2:30 to 5 pm

Tis the Season (for outdoor shows)

The "season" is upon us, the post-COVID extended summertime season for outdoor festivities and the music that accompanies them.

The McMuscial Calendar is dominated by BirdDogBlues events (see schedule below), but others of interest occur. I can name two right off the top of my hairy head:

Thursday, June 13

Faux Fawn (alt-neo-folk quintet performing the songs of Paul Otteson) kicks of McFarland's "Bands by the Boardwalk" series in McDaniel Park on the east shore of Lake Waubesa.

6-8pm 

Sunday, July 21

Mel Ford & Fairlane apply guitar and upright bass to a blues-flavored variety pack of tunes (mostly mid-20th century) at Tofflers in New Glarus.

2:30 to 5 pm.
