Empty Bottle Boys
We are a group of five musicians who found a common interest in the authenticity and timelessness of Classic Country and Western. We come from varying backgrounds who have covered genres spanning from bluegrass, classic rock, pop, zydeco, and classical. The band formed following several late-night sessions of playing country classics over a glass of whiskey between lead guitarist/vocalist Colby Millea and rhythm guitarist/vocalist Adam Lantz. The band was soon after formed when acoustic bassist/vocalist Sarah Sorensen and drummer/vocalist Jim McPhaul joined the mix. After several sit-ins with the band, keyboardist and violinist Tom Nickel joined in November of 2018. We cover artists such as Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, Hank Williams, and many more of the Classic Country era. We also have a dozen or so originals that our fans have come to know and love.
The Pistachio Brothers
We began playing together on Black Friday, 2012, after having talked for 5 minutes. We were booked to play a show together, so thats just what we did. From the first note played there was musical chemistry that couldn’t be ignored. After a solid 4 hour gig we decided that we should play together more regularly, thus forming the beginning of Like-Minded People, which The Pistachio Brothers were originally a side project of. We realized quickly that our duo had the potential to go places, and go places we did. Since then, we have played venues all over SE Wisconsin, Northern Illinois, Chicago, and St. Petersburg, FL. We always aim to please and love to jam great music for our crowd!
