FolkLib Index - Wisconsin Country Musicians

          This page lists links for current and past Wisconsin Country musicians.

          At this time every artist/group on this page appears on at least one released recording, so all their recordings will be listed in my forthcoming book, "FolkLib Index: Wisconsin Discography". However, I will be happy to also list links for all other Wisconsin-based Country performers, even if they have never recorded anything yet.

Please write if you know about any Wisconsin Country artist/group not listed, or if you have additional information about, or links for, a listed artist/group.
