This page lists non-Wisconsin based musical acts who have performed
at a
Wisconsin Music Festival since January 2004, or
that are currently scheduled to perform at a future festival. If known,
the State they are from is listed. If an act marked unknown state, "(?)",
proves to be from Wisconsin, they will be installed on a Wisconsin page
and removed from this list (check the
Wisconsin Artist/Group Master Name Index
for where they were moved to).
Those without a link will probably not get a link unless they are an
acoustic Folk act. The sole purpose of
this page is to serve as a resource for additions to Festival and other
pages on the domain.
As of 6-25-2008, this page also includes non-Wisconsin non-Folk
Musicians who may or may not ever play at a Wisconsin festival, but who
I found listed by state on another Web site.
Please write
if you know where any act marked "(?)" is from.
