Highlights of the Music Program 2009 - It is what it isn't.
Hmm...very subjective I know, and potentially problematic should I fail to recognize a particular talent.
However, I was asked a couple days ago "what do you think were the highlights of the 2009 music program?"....so -
Highlights of 2009 music program, in no particular order -
Michael Johnson - an amazing guitarist schooled in the classical style of playing guitar.... and using nylon strings!, quite rare for a 'folk' musician - loved him!
Cedarwell - kudos to the Hollands for allowing these two guys to open for them. The Hollands are great but Cedarwell managed to create a vibe that I just haven't seen before in the Outpost. Different. Different. Talent.
Squeaky Clean Cretins - I loved their music, upbeat, a little bit of Stray Cat Strut on steroids, maybe. Just a cool bunch of talented lads....great to have you at the Outpost and thanks for the Saturday lunchtime GIG!
Corey Carlson - a class act. He didn't play a gig at the Outpost but he came back after the Peg Egan gig and enthralled us with a couple of songs, as did Pat Macdonald...thanks Pat and Corey.
Victoria Vox - wow, I almost wrote you off when I heard that you played Uke, but what a great performance...the Talking Heads track was so, so cool.
Hans Christian - a cool dude. I owned a CD by Hans a few years before I ever got to meet him at the Outpost and have such respect for what he does for the local music community.
Bill and Kate Isles, and really, everyone who came and played for our Talent Night. We were blessed with the presence of some truly outstanding musical talents and all-round great people.
Thanks to everyone who played at and visited the Door County Outpost in 2009.

I saw Cedarwell and agree with you completely, great band (there were 3 of them when I saw them play).
As for the Outpost, you have a reputation for playing it safe with your music. I wouldn't go there again, my friend was 'shushed' by that woman who runs the music, and it really upset us both.

The outpost is a nice place, we enjoyed it there, would like to be back again next year. Never have seen music there, seems like an odd place for music?
Kate
Thanks for the comments.
Lynn, hopefully you will give the Outpost another chance, we have Chris Aaron playing here on October 8th and I can assure you that you won't be 'shushed'.
Take care

Are you having music again at the outpost...next year? or no
Steve
Is the Outpost having music again next year?
Steve
Hello Steve!
Yes, absolutely!
We'll be working hard again in 2010 to bring a quality music program to the Outpost, the seeds have already been sewn.
It is going to be a little different than we've had in the past but every bit as good (we hope).
Watch this space for some announcements due very soon.
Cheers

Are you having any music through the fall/winter?...it's getting real quiet real quick this year.
Jana Holland and Vickie Vox were great!
I've seen Vickie play at a few different places, taverns and the like. The Outpost was a good concert.
I follow Vickie on Facebook. Boy does she ever keep busy touring.
Hope she doesn't burn out!
Is she coming back to the Outpost next year ?
