It was 3 weeks ago when Sturgeon Bay’s Butch’s Bar had a devastating fire which claimed the lives of 2 upstairs tenants while others were displaced in addition to losing most or all of their possessions. Butch’s was also the location for a regular Wednesday night open mic jam session for local musicians. One such musician, Chris Bishop, shared with us how he quickly wanted to organize a benefit concert with many of these musicians to help support those who were affected by the fire…
This concert fundraiser will be Wednesday evening at the Door County Fire Company, just a few doors north of the former Butch’s Bar site on Sturgeon Bay’s 3rd Avenue. Bishop says this is a free event, but the United Way of Door County will be there helping them raise donations and conducting a raffle…
Those Wednesday night Butch’s jam sessions were always Wednesday night from 8:00 pm until midnight or later, so Bishop says this benefit concert will occupy that same time slot, but just a few doors down. The event will open up with a special poem ready by Mike Orlock, Door County’s Poet Laureate…
Other local performers on the bill include Jamey Clark, Josh Gregory, Cathy Grier, Greg Roteik, Morgan Rae, Dan Smrz, Seth Raddatz, Genevieve Heyward, Chris Bishop, Zack Vogel, and many others. Again, that starts at 8:00 pm Wednesday at the Door County Fire Company on 3rd Avenue.
