Dan Whitaker and the Shinebenders w/JP Cyr and the Midnightmen
Kochanski's Concertina Beer Hall 1920 S. 37th St., Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53215
With his band The Shinebenders, Chicago songwriter Dan Whitaker pays homage to the glory days of country and honky-tonk, creating a hybrid of Western swing and rock ’n’ roll powered by tight guitar licks and chugging upright bass. The group released its most recent album, Anything You Wanted To, last fall. For this show, they’ll be joined by Milwaukee’s own honky-tonk fanatics JP Cyr and the Midnightmen, whose brand of rockabilly pits Cyr’s sturdy upright bass against some striking steel guitar.
