Chaunte Shayne brings her country sass to Village Inn, then Nashville, (and you also might trek to Somerset and Burkhardt this weekend)

She’ll hit the Village Inn in North Hudson for a several songs, then make her way to Nashville, and other weekend musical offerings will also have you going north, not south.
— A relatively new young singer on the scene, although from a family that has deep local musical roots, Chaunte Shayne, will perform a number of cover numbers along with hit originals, and offer a question and answer session as part of a concert on Friday night, June 9, at the Village Inn, starting at 8 p.m. She sings country, rock and pop and speaks from a women’s point of view (sass included), members of her musical family say. Chaunte then will leave for Nashville on Wednesday to meet with writing companies on Thursday and Friday. She will do a sing-songwriters showcase at Opry Mills, Nashville Mall, on Sunday, June 16, as well as a songwriters round on Thursday, June 15 at Bobby’s Idle Hour.
— This band name reminds me of that for a popular nightclub on the other end of Wisconsin, Cruisin’ Chubbies. Anyway, the band The Chubs will play the Willow River Saloon on Friday evening, June 9. Groups they emulate include Stevie Ray Vaughan, Tom Petty, The Beatles, ZZ Top, Jimi Hendrix, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Jefferson Airplane, Sublime, The Black Keys, The White Stripes, Johnny Cash and of course, their Prince Purple Rain tribute.
— If you’re heading that direction, you might want to take in Pea Soup Days in Somerset. On Friday night is Paisan & The Family Brass, a ten-piece band playing five decades of songs and featuring male and female vocalists, dueling lead guitarists, and a high-energy horn section. On Saturday at 7 p.m., youth is served with the hard rock of Contraband, followed at 8 p.m. by Sunday’s Regret, which is known for its minimal break time.
— The three solo musicans on the Smilin’ Moose patio this weekend all share the same look, right down to facial hair and head hair. Matt McAllister and Roger Huerta also share the similarity of the same time slot, 5-9 p.m., on Friday and Saturday respectably. Tim Howe rounds out the mix on Sunday from 2-6 p.m.

  • Heartland Days stays true to the heart of its name and lets kids of all ages rule the roost. Photograph them and give them their due aND turn behind the wheel, with A garden tractor or FFA approved. There’s music, too, if you wait to the fest’s end, after the parade.
As the months turned, this is the season for truck and tractor pulls, (and corn feeds, too, all around), and this time around moreso, the kids are all right and cooking and taking the reins, as this weekend in Hammond Heartland Days, in the heart and center of St. Croix County. To that early-in-statement end, there is a truck and tractor pull At The Days, but don’t diss or miss it, it is not necessarily for these huge hulksters seen on ESPN lunking things like a semi and than climbing (aboard) up the steps of a set of bleachers to...

  • Costs are rising up and patience is going down. Voter apathy meanwhile, still is continuing to flatline, as it flails around mental self flagulation, while all around us are signs that all things economic are just getting worse and worse. Here are some of these signs, from the strapped, baking and broiling breadbasket of the country.
A snapshot from the hampered heartland. Where the music won’t play for days anymore. This just in, an old shack located at 1 Terra Parma in Indiana will cost you $2K a month to rent. Hey, you could get a mortgage, with such dirty deeds done dirt cheap. The good news is that it includes utilities; but there’s no AC. That old tack is an old joke, but the rest of this isn’t. To get there, you are bus riders on the storm, and it’s a bad one, as when the greyhound grey line is nearly full on a Tuesday...

  • The Minnesota Nine was up 16-0, and this is not football with a couple of two-point conversions after TD, before the other squad came up with the equivilant of a safety. Not a single goal or field goal. Other zeroes also, recently, were put up. It’s all listed under the latest sports bar viewing news.
In a recent Minnesota Twins game, there were, what, eight of them runs that were doubled as they are Twins, as the home team led 16-0 after five innings, as viewed at Hudson Tap. This is not U.S. football with a couple of two-point conversions, and certainly not futbal, though they televise a lot of soccer. If there ever was a reason to invoke the old high school baseball and softball mercy rule, it was time, and I had been on both sides of that many a time back in my playing days. (The other pro ball squad shortly afterward...

  • The (World) Cup runneth over on the global stage, but not for the U.S. Soccer team, only others that advanced, and were heavily watched, even locally very far from a continent that mattered. now it does that for you, so spill the wine and light the firecrackers. And ask your knowledgable bartender or other bro about that ankle twist.
I wonder if they celebrated in Belgium like they did in the U.S., in advance, partying in the streets with maybe rioting coming later, prior to the win of the former over the latter in the mere — but still highly publicized, even here — quarterfinals of the FIFA World Cup that would continue on for another two weeks or so, then bow out soon after killing the U.S. hopes. The Elite Eight, if I can borrow a term from NCAA basketball, can be a bitch. First term, not second one. Wait, isn’t that a political reference? Anyway, they are...

  • Before history got very far, there was the full tilt boogie, with scores of meanings. This is also the name of an amped up upcoming two-day event at The Gaslite. Also in this post, the effort to buildup various venues is described, and the times of St. Croix County Fair music listed.
With the Full Tilt Boogie, the Friday and Saturday choppers/vans/bands/camping event at The Gaslite near Ellsworth, they offer us a lesson in not only music with the likes of Janis Joplin references and also the road running machines and what they’ll bring to the frantic jamming, but the sciences and history? (But first, there is a Friday movie and DJ at The Gaslite, and on Saturday a premier Van Halen cover band, Extermination Day Band, (know your history), the Rumours Band and Smokey Mirror.) But (sub)-standard or lesser known historical subtexts of the event title for the 17th and 18th,...
