JOSH HARTY - GAINES & WAGONER - SCOTT BEARDSLEY - PAULI RYAN

Josh Harty is a messenger. A North Dakota songsmith. A true son of the heartland whose bold defiance and riveting delivery channel the essence of American music (Glide Magazine). As the son of a small town police chief and preacher, grandson of a South Dakota polka legend, Josh grew up performing with his dad at every Lutheran Church, Eagles Club, Moose Lodge and Rotary Club in the Upper Midwest. Having released several internationally-aclaimed albums and performing across the US & Europe, it is clear that Harty was born and bred for this. His live shows prove that good storytelling combined with journeyman musicianship is as authentic as music gets.

Chris Wagoner and Mary Gaines have been in-demand private instructors, session musicians and performers in the Midwest for over three decades with tours spanning the US and Europe. Together and separately, they are founding members of several of Wisconsins favorite musical groups, past and present: Harmonious Wail (vintage jazz), The Common Faces (original folk-soul), The Bob Westfall Band (original jazz-grass), The Moon Gypsies (original Americana / Roots-Rock), The Stellanovas (cafe jazz) and Graminy (original class-grass).
