Maygen & The Birdwatcher
Maygen & The Birdwatcher weave a rich tapestry of Americana, blending folk and country with an eclectic twist. Lead singer-songwriters Maygen Lacey and Noah Neumann began as a duo and quickly realized their sonic vision needed more. At the heart of their sound is a collective of talented musicians. Multi-instrumentalist Nik Pellinen adds depth with his banjo, lap steel, electric guitar, and harmonies while Jesse Moravec brings a vibrant touch with mandolin and harmonies. Fiddle player Evin Haukos and drummer-percussionist Peter Anderson round out the ensemble, crafting a fresh take on bluegrass-infused folk. It’s a hyphenated hybrid that can come only from a seasoned—and tightly knit—band.
With a sound that’s both familiar and innovative, Maygen & The Birdwatcher have garnered accolades like Album of the Year, Americana Artist of the Year, and Entertainer of the Year from the Midwest Country Music Organization, and have had their songs featured in Spotify's Indie Bluegrass and New Grass playlists, Minnesota Monthly, 89.3FM The Current, and many others. They have toured the country and shared stages with the likes of Sierra Ferrell, Old Crow Medicine Show, Grace Potter, The Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Indigo Girls, Yonder Mountain String Band, Molly Tuttle, Lindsey Lou, The Last Revel and more.
Their latest offering, Leap Year (released August 2, 2024), invites listeners into a contemplative journey inspired by the celestial themes of 2024, reflecting their unique blend of instrumentation and vocals. As Maygen & The Birdwatcher continue to evolve, they leave fans eager for more of their original, heartfelt music.
Wire & Nail
Nothing better than a Saturday Night in a Northwoods Tavern. Longnecks & Shooters. Darts & Pool. Romance & Good times. Wire & Nail. This tight combo from Milwaukee loves nothing better than to supply the soundtrack. Equal parts Honky Tonk and Rock n Roll, Wire & Nail have the chops to keep the evening rolling. Loaded like a shotgun, the band comes stacked with tight harmonies, great tone, an on point rhythm section and enough swagger to back it up.
