Chris Haise Band

The Milwaukee based Chris Haise Band’s (pronounced Hi-zee) music is a blend of hook filled ballads and toe tappers. Mixing Folk and Rock, Haise’s vocals have been described as Dylan meets Springsteen meets Petty, while his lyrics have been described as “smart new songwriting” and “Intense, Thoughtful Songcraft”.

In 2017, Chris Haise released his solo album entitled “Your Ugly Friends” which was nominated for 88Nine’s Music Awards for Album of the Year, Independent Release of the Year, and Solo Artist of the Year. He was also selected as NSAI “One to Watch” along with winning Dylan Days Singer/Songwriter Contest. 

Adding members Mark Harrig (guitar/vox), Weston Gritt (bass), Tony Sturino (cello/vox), & Chad Burgess (drums), CHB became a WAMI award nominee on the steps of their first full band album “Suburban View” released in 2019. Again, CHB was nominated for 88Nine’s Music Awards for Album of the Year & Band of the Year. In 2020, singer song-writer Chris released a solo record during the pandemic lockdown called ‘The Quarantine Tapes.’ 2021 brings another full band album release titled ‘Half Of All Of Nothing.’

Stephen Hull Experience

The Stephen Hull Experience gives the blues community exciting evidence that the future of music is in good hands. Born in 1999, a native of Racine, Wisconsin, Stephen Hull started playing blues at age 14 and never stopped, taking cues from Albert King and B.B. King as he developed his sweet, soulful guitar sound. Balancing that with his absolutely stellar lead vocals and infectiously buoyant personality, Stephen has been rising fast in the blues clubs of Chicago and venues across southeastern Wisconsin. Appearing in blues magazines such as Living Blues (U.S.) and Blues & Rhythm: The Gospel Truth (UK), Stephen has been interviewed by a myriad of media including Lake Effect (broadcast on Milwaukee’s NPR). From the Chicago Blues Fest to the Mississippi Valley Blues Fest, The Stephen Hull Experience is making headlines.

Haley Klinkhammer

At the age of 14, Haley Klinkhammer picked up a guitar and filmed her first YouTube video. She never could have imagined where it would take her. Fourteen years later, with almost 300 videos, 40 million views, over 5 million streams on Spotify, and hundreds of shows under her belt, Haley continues to follow her passion.

Haley is a believer in the power of music and its ability to speak to people in a way that words alone cannot, bringing us together through our own stories. It’s this power that she masterfully wields to help us realize this truth — no matter what we are going through, we are not alone.

For years, she has been winning over crowds at her live performances with the power of her voice and the beauty of her heart. Whether it’s her original songs or covers, YouTube or your hometown stage, Haley is bound to blow you away.
