The Dang-Its: Western Swing, Honky Tonk & Americana

The Dang-Its’ approach is roots oriented, emphasizing tight arrangements with clear, soaring vocal harmonies. The band shifts effortlessly from spare and gritty alt-country stories, to jazzy, western swing jump tunes, to whisper-quiet ballads—a stylistic and dynamic sweep that one Madison writer/musician simply described as “Atmospheric.” Their repertoire is definitely off the beaten track and features songs that span a wide range, from the quirky and humorous to powerful portraits of love and loss.

Boo Bradley

Boo Bradley is a hot blues stompin’, jelly roll jumpin’, rag jazz infusin’, two-man acoustic jug attack from Madtown, Wisconsin. These boys throw down a porch stomp boogie chock full of old time Delta moans from the likes of Son House and Charley Patton, the Piedmont shake of Blind Boy Fuller and the earliest Chicago Ragtime mastery of cats like Blind Blake and Big Bill Broonzy. None of these names sound familiar? Well, never you mind. Once you get a wiff of what these fellers are cookin’, your feet’ll know what to do, ‘cause when Boo and the Reverend C. Scott Fry put their groove stamp on a tune you can’t call it nothin’ but good ol’ ho-maid jelly. Well now, before y’all start clearin’ tables and pullin’ back chairs let’s meet the band, shall we.

The annual Early Bird Rotary Lobster Boil in Fountain Park will be held from 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. The only thing better than a good musical show at Fountain Park is a great lobster boil.
