June 1 Portage High School Jazz Band & Portage High School Choir The Portage High School Jazz Band and Portage High School Choir will perform several outstanding selections. Both the Jazz Band and the Choir have an endless amount of talent, and we are very proud to have them with us tonight. Enjoy the beautiful music of our local young talents…..
June 8 Madison Malone with Special Guest: John Michael Madison Malone doesn’t shy away from any singing opportunity.The 17-year-old Portage High School junior’s first public appearance was at a fourth grade talent show. “She sang,‘Part of Your World’ from ‘The Little Mermaid,’” her father, Sean Malone said. More recently, Madison sang the Star Spangled Banner at a Mallards game. She has been recording music videos, which can be seen on YouTube. She said she is influenced by singers like Gavin DeGraw, John Legend and Colbie Caillat Madison said,“I’ve been singing since I was 2 (years old).” She added,“I sing trendier songs, but they all tend to have meaning.”
John Michael has been in love with the guitar since before he can remember. His first guitar was found in a trash pile, on a side street, of Fond du Lac, when he was five. Since then he‘s plucked and played, picking things up along the way to give him variance in his playing style. “Follow the events of life, for they will lead you to people and places which will further your inner growth”….. John is very pleased the events of his life have lead him before you this evening. For more info on Madison Malone, contact Sean at 608-742-6754

June 15 The Dang-its The Dang-Its’ approach is roots oriented, emphasizing tight arrangements with clear, soaring vocal harmonies.The band shifts effortlessly from spare and gritty alt-country stories, to jazzy, western swing jump tunes, to whisper-quiet ballads—a stylistic and dynamic sweep that one Madison writer/musician simply described as “Atmospheric.” Their repertoire is definitely off the beaten track and features songs that span a wide range, from the quirky and humorous to powerful portraits of love and loss. Add a few classics and standards along with expertly crafted original music, and The Dang-Its offer a mix that will connect with any audience. For more info, visit www.thedangits.com

July 20 American Family Choir The American Family Insurance Choir was established in October 1997 at the suggestion of an employee who thought it would be nice to perform some holiday music for the office. The choir’s initial performances were during the 1997 Holiday Season when they presented concerts at American Family’s National Headquarters and the Great Lakes Regional Building, both located in Madison. Since then, many senior and healthcare centers throughout the DaneColumbia County area have enjoyed regular holiday performances by the choir. In addition, the choir performs annually at the Holiday Fantasy in Lights Grand Lighting ceremony at Olin-Turville Park.This past holiday season we added the American Family Children’s Hospital and UW hospitals to our performance stops and plan to visit them again this spring.
The choir also has a non-holiday repertoire and has been included in the Sun Prairie Concerts in the Park and the Dean House Back Yard concerts. A particular highlight for the choir was singing the National
Anthem at several Milwaukee Brewers games.The choir has also performed for various charitable organizations in the Madison area including United Way and the American Cancer Society.
