Genuinely, thank you all for helping make the 1st Annual Wausau Summer Shindig a HUGE success. I first want to thank my partner, Crystal, for accepting my crazy ideas and then helping far, far more than I could ever hope. Thank you for designing the banners, helping with branding, and all of the hands-on help along the way. Seriously - she’s the best and I couldn’t have done any of this without her. Huge thank you to Kristi Nowitzke Photography for taking amazing photos throughout the day for the event, bands, vendors and more. What an incredible photographer, and someone I’d recommend to anyone in need. Thank you to Andrea Stoiber for putting together one heck of a green room for the bands. Thank you to Jack Schneider for taking reigns of the trash situation and helping all around. Thank you to Kevin and the team at Instrumental Motion for sound production & lighting. Thank you to Barnplotter for making last minute Volunteer shirts and throwing up visuals for Watt Millians set. Thank you to Billy Bronsted for being a constant force behind our music projects and throwing an incredible Super Jam. Thank you to Taylor and the Zero Proof Water crew for helping me hang banners in the middle of a storm and for providing free, delicious water for our event. Thank you to Trevor, Bon Stevenson, & Wh**ey. Thank you to Nathan Vergin, Andy Dassow and the entire Faraway Place crew for grinding to pull everything off. Thank you to Caleb Delaney for being an INCREDIBLE MC and Chad O'Brien for being the stagehand of all stagehands! Thank you to all the food trucks and vendors for putting in a long day and making the event a great success - I truly enjoyed working with you all. Thank you to Wausau Police Department for running security and making sure we had a safe event. Thank you to all the bands for coming from all over to make this a truly special event. And lastly, thank you to our sponsors & community members for showing up. It means a whole lot.
What a Shindig. See you all next year!

Perhaps the most unexpected group on the lineup, newcomer Earthlight is poised to become one of those acts you instinctively carve time out for at your favorite festival. When deep-rooted musical academia collides with a fearless urge to color outside the lines, the result is a palpable chemistry that elevates every improvised moment—collective exploration guided by sharp instincts and deliberate, calculated interplay.

Jazz fusion? Jam ensemble? Call it what you want—but whatever the label, Earthlight demands your attention.
