FolkLib Index - Door County, Wisconsin Musicians

      This page lists links for recording artists who live, or at one time lived, in Door County, Wisconsin, and recorded groups that are, or used to be, based in Door County. Please write if you know about any Door County recording artist/group not listed, or if you have additional information about, or links for, a listed artist/group.

      "Discog (no known recordings)" - this is a call for your help. Please write if you have details about any recordings by this artist/group (solo releases, session work, or on a collection), and where they can be purchased, so they can be documented on this Web site, as well as listed in my forthcoming book, (ca. 2028), FolkLib Index: Wisconsin Discography.
      [Note: this page is a direct result of my 12/28-31/2002 trip to Door County, searching for new recordings to include in the book. It will take awhile to writeup the 71 new CD's/cassettes by all the Door County musicians I found. All the names below with no links, either have a solo recording or appear on a Door County sampler CS/CD. I can't find a home page for any of them, although one may be listed in all the liner notes I haven't read yet.]
      (AFT) = recording artists who spent at least one summer working at the American Folklore Theatre (Northern Sky Theater) in Fish Creek, or the Birch Creek Music Festival in Egg Harbor, even if they lived out-of-state the rest of the year
      [city] = all the cities where the artist has lived
