Yes, oh yes, it's finally here. Summerfest, "The World's Largest Music Festival" is upon us. Summerfest is an annual 11-day music festival that takes place on 75 acres along the shores of Lake Michigan in downtown Milwaukee, WI. Summerfest has everyone from John Mellencamp to 311 to Gavin DeGraw playing, plus many many more...
I was lucky enough to be selected to play The Refugee Stage on Sunday, June 29th (6pm), Tuesday July 1st (noon), and Thursday July 3rd (6pm). The Refugee stage is a small independant stage featuring unsigned artists. The Refugee Stage is located inside the Summerfest grounds at the southern end of the Lakewalk. If you visit the Refugee Stage myspace page (www.myspace.com/therefugeestage), there you can find a map in their pictures section that shows the exact location of the stage.
So if you are planning on being at Summerfest for one of those days, please stop by and say hello. Summerfest is a great time as you can always spend the day their walking from stage to stage listening/discovering music. There are a plethora of other acts playing on the Refugee Stage, so if you do find yourself there at any point during the festival, definitely check out who is playing. The organizers of that stage have a great thing going and we as artists are lucky to be involved with what they are doing.
Also, I'm picking up the new T-shirts later this week!!! I know, you're peeing your pants aren't you... ;) Seriously though, I will have new Tshirts for sale at the merch booth there by the Refugee Stage, along with my CDs and all the good stuff. These items will be up for sale for the duration of the festival, so please check them out. I've got some new tanks for the girls, all sporting the logo:

Fun Stuff. Also, I'll be doing something unique and very fun with some of my friends this August at one of my favorite venues in Chicago. More on that later. But, yes, Summerfest. See you there. And let me know if you have any questions. Here's a quick review:
