Dave BeBeau

Dave BeBeau is an Ashland, Wisconsin native who taught himself how to play guitar back in 1987, but has been on stage since he was just a kid.

Today they perform at venues across the Midwest including appearances at the Northern Wisconsin State Fair, Rock Fest, and North Woods Rock Rally. Dave takes his love of music seriously and on occasion unplugs from the band, performing as an acoustic solo. You can expect to hear songs by James Taylor, Tom Petty, Neil Young, Charlie Daniels, America, John Cougar, Bon Jovi, to name just a few. The list of artists is constantly growing, so you might just hear something that really surprises you!

Jack Williams

Jack Willems uses his Crestliner to find muskies, his Chevy to get to his deer stand, and a guitar and mic to bring down the house at northern Wisconsin venues.

He began taking voice lessons at a young age, and picked up guitar in middle school. Country music became the soundtrack of Jack’s life. The stories echo his love for the outdoors, family and faith. He crafted his set list by entertaining friends in basements and around backyard campfires.

Jack began performing at an open mic on his mom’s birthday in January 2025. Since then he has performed at least once per week near the Winona State University campus, where he is a sophomore in the school of business.

In March a house party performance of “Wagon Wheel” taken on a buddies iPhone went viral on Tik Tok capturing over 3.5 million views in two weeks.

Jack takes singing and songwriting seriously, but has the belief that people enjoy themselves most while being entertained. He brings energy to each show and does all he can to get the crowd singing along to his outdoor-influenced, Midwest brand of rocking country music.

Jeff White
Jul

Jeff White

Americana/Alt-country/Folk from the hills of western Wisconsin. Blending warm tones, reverbs, delays & vibrato with outlaw grit, Jeff White sings of love, loss & lust with an Americana vibe.

Jeff began honing his songwriting skills working the red-eye shift as a taxi driver. Railroad conductors, heartbroken men & women after bar close and wild out-of-towners were all frequent riders who freely opened up about their personal lives. Their late night conversations were all inspirations to the genesis of his upcoming career as a songwriter and entertainer.

Jeff has toured the lower 48 from coast to coast as well as England, Scotland and Wales. Much in the vein of Johnny Cash, Jeff writes and sings his own songs but also performs unique interpretations of other songs he admires. He's opened up for Dr. John, Mason Jennings, members of Wilco, Bill Staines and has performed along side Justin Vernon & Phil Vassar. He has 6 albums under his belt and one is with Charlie Parr & folk music legend, Greg Brown. His latest CD, 'Renegade Revelations' recently received a 4 star rating in The Netherlands on the alt-country review website, altcountry.nl.
