Here is a little more about each of our artists:

Barbara Stephan is an original artist inspired by a combination of R&B and soul. Her newly released EP, Come On Over To Me, debuted at #4 on The Roots Rock Music Report’s soul/blues category.

The Last Bees is an original Beatles-inspired low-fi pop band from Milwaukee. Bruce Johnston, Grammy award-winning member of The Beach Boys, praised Ian’s performance when he competed and won “Best Vocalist” at the Waukesha County Fair, earning him the opening slot for The Beach Boys.

Chris Haise Band, a Milwaukee-based band, is a blend of hook-filled ballads and toe tappers. Mixing folk and rock, Chris’s vocals have been described as “Dylan meets Springsteen.” In 2019, the band released Suburban View, a follow-up to Chris’s solo album, Your Ugly Friends. From there, the band quickly became a staple at many Milwaukee festivals and music series such as Bastille Days, Brady Street Festival, and Homegrown Festival, to name a few.

Each of our three artists will put on a live performance for you, entertainment buyers, and special guests. Refreshments will be served. Join us, and you could win some great give-a-ways!
