Since 2003, The Kingfish Band have been entertaining Wisconsin and the Chicagoland area through clubs, festivals, weddings and events, performing extraordinary rock covers and utilizing various band formats to meet the needs of their clients and venues.

Frank Martin Busch is out on his own. After 20 years of being in touring bands, he says he has no one to blame now but himself. The music is country, not the bedazzled jeans repetitive songs about tailgate parties’ country – the real stuff. For fans of Turnpike Troubadours, Tyler Childers, Sturgill Simpson, Johnny Cash, Waylon, Willie and the boys. The Names is the band, different night, different name. It’s got a perfectionist on bass, a drummer who doesn’t speak much English, and an underage kid on the keys. Maybe a steel guitar player if he’s out of rehab and there is money in the budget. All that stuff is true, and so is the music. You can find them on Facebook under Frank Martin Busch and the Names. Food and beverage will be provided by the Russell Law Office – Annual Pig Roast Fundraiser for the Shullsburg Girls’ Basketball Team, with serving starting at 6 p.m. - Thursday, August 5 – DENNY DIAMOND.
Emerging from the elite Chicago music scene in Illinois, award-winning Neil Diamond tribute artist Denny Diamond began hitting the ground running in the music realm in 1999, and since that time has manifested into one of the most versatile and multi-faceted tribute acts to hit the stage. Projecting his own signature stylization to a very familiar sound, Denny Diamond’s baritone vocal approach and reminiscence of Neil Diamond himself has been a grandstanding presence around the country and one of the most sought-after acts since he started gracing venues and events nation-wide over the last 20 years. With Neil Diamond being his core inspiration, Denny’s musical merit also stems from a vast array of other prominent artist influences that include Tom Jones, Barry Manilow, Willie Nelson, Josh Groban, Dean Martin, Ray Charles and Jim Croce. The Shullsburg audience can’t get enough of his performances! The Shullsburg Lions Club will be holding their annual fundraiser that evening as the food and beverage vendor, starting at 6 p.m.
