Artie West Quintet | Thirteen Thursdays Summer Concert

Thirteen Thursdays: Summer Concert Series

What started in February 2022 as “Fayte & Friends” quickly became “The Artie West Quintet”. The name change? Well, when you have a band with this caliber of musicians, one guy getting his name out front just ain’t right! From the start, we’ve been shaking up the Fox Valley with an exciting mix of rockabilly, honky tonk, and classic country music.

Plans to record some original music over the winter got bumped, but we’re still planning on getting to the studio in 2023 to lay down tracks.

Speaking of recording, I’ve wrapped up my personal project entitled, “The Other,” a collection of songs written by my dear friend the late, great Joe “Snare” Vosen. The songs are available as an EP on my band camp page. I miss my buddy Joe every day, and this was a way for me to honor him and keep his memory alive. Those of you who remember Joe as one of the original drummers for Rocket 8 will dig hearing his rockabilly-tinged song, “The Ballad of Gusty Winds.”

Bar Opens: 6 PM

Location: Plaza and Sheboygan Street
