11:00 am – DRL Band
An original rock ‘n’ roll band, heavily influenced by over 5-decades of British music.

4:00 pm – Meskales
Ska isn’t dead, not if Los Meskales have anything to say about it. This local latin ska band from Madison, takes the genre that had a brief commercial dalliance with punk in the 1990s, and marries it with Latin and surfer rock elements.
5:00 pm – Tap the Keg
No Oktoberfest is complete without the traditional tapping of the keg ceremony!
5:15 pm – Tom Brusky Polka Band
An authentic, third-generation polka-variety band is comprised of talented, award-winning musicians that can rile up crowds with all the beer hall favorites like Roll Out the Barrel!
7:45 pm – Soggy Prairie
This 5 piece, ear-pleasing bluegrass band is the perfect way to finish day one of our festivities.
Sunday, September 19th
11:15 am – Tap the Keg
We’ll kick off Day 2 with another traditional tapping of the keg ceremony!
11:30 am – Alpha Romeos
A band with local roots in MoHo! They’ll deliver re-fried funk, Cajun boogie, soul, R&B and blues.
2:15 pm – Taylor and Von
Do you like everything from 90s, to 2000s rock, to a little bit of pop, country and 80s? If that’s the case, then come out to see Taylor & Von close down our festivities.
