It's getting closer to Summerfest time and I'm still editing last year's massive pile of photos!
The band Guster played on July 9, 2022 and The WhiskeyBelles on July 7, 2022 on the Summerfest grounds.
Guster is a band that has been around for years and they getting better with every show. Ryan Miller and Adam Gardner really put on the lead guitars and vocals.
The WhiskeyBelles are a local Milwaukee band playing great bluegrass music and continue to get more popular every day. Chrissy Dzioba Clobes leads the trio with Kimberly Hanson on fiddle and Sara Moilanen on bass.
Enjoy a look at two great bands!

More of some Summerfest photography for you today with my friends, The Tubes!
Fun band that I've photographed a few times since 1975, and this is the most current version of the band on July 7, 2022 at Summerfest.
Gave Fee Waybill, the singer and main man of the band some old photos of himself and he flipped out! He loved them! Fun guy and he even signed one for me. He showed his wife and she was impressed at his then "Quay Lewd" character and outfit.
Fee said that character only comes out late at night now!
Checkout Fee Waybill, Prairie Prince, Roger Steen and the band here and anytime you can. They do a great show.
This show had a ton of fog rolling in off of Lake Michigan at 4:30pm and it took some Photoshop cleanup to cut through it.
Thanks,

One of the most interesting bands that I have ever photographed in a long time is Los Straightjackets from Nashville.
I have liked their music for a long time. It's all great instrumentals with the musicians wearing Mexican wrestling masks!
They have two great lead guitar players with a bass and drums. They serve up a bit of Surf Rock and more.
Eddie Angel, Pete Curry, Greg Towson and Chris "Sugarballs" Sprague are a really tight band with great guitar playing.
Check them out and listen to some great music. It's a fun show with no vocals. Other than a song title given in a heavy Spanish accent that is all the talking you get! It's all about the music.
Enjoy a look at the guys playing Summerfest on July 7, 2022.
