Another band I am involved with, Eau Claire Blues All-Stars, was asked again to perform at the 2nd annual Taste of Eau Claire 08′ at Phoenix Park on June 1st. l_afeae81446f9233b6e40418b6e6f1f76.jpgThere were over 10,000 in attendance! This also kicked off the “Sounds Like Summer Concerts Series”, presented by Volume One Magazine. The Eau Claire Blues All-Stars will also conclude the “Concert Series” at Phoenix Park on August 28th. V1 made a short video of the event. It consists mostly of folks shoveling vast amounts of food into their mouths, but there are also some clips of the ECBAS.

NO COVER!!

House of Rock

422 Water Street • Eau Claire, WI.

It was important to keep the word “House” in the name to keep alive part of its history. This location was famous for being the Oar House and the Light House. Now, it’s the House of Rock featuring top bands playing some of the hottest rock and blues this side of the Mississippi, and now JAZZ!

Here are the March dates for the Walk/Klenz Jazz Sextet. We would like to graciously thank all of the support from our devoted listeners, new comers and amazing guest artists! The last gig was our biggest crowd to date. It was equally amazing and inspirational. For all of you that have missed the last two shows, you must check out the new stage that The House of Rock has built for us. The stage is absolutely wonderful and maintains the intimate feeling between The Sextet and the audience! (Please Note that March 12th is a Wednesday night, not our regular Thursday night.)
