On Cloud Wine - great wine makes good jazz even better. An evening of whatever we might like to play and whatever you might like to hear in a relaxed, comfortable perfect indoor setting. Wine of course, but also great appetizers and entrees and other drinks too.

Beautiful deck overlooking beautiful Sinissippi lake with music provided by the equally beautiful J Ryan Trio (well... piano man might trend towards gargoyle but the rest of the crew is darn fine). We'll play jazz, motown, soul, old school rock and everything in between. Order up one of the 1/2 lb burgers - it's pub-licious
no cover - but you gotta order up some dinner, it's just sooooo good. Drinks are tasty too...

Music from the shore broadcast to boats on the water - it's like The Voice on NBC, but instead of the turn of a chair, we get voted off if the skipper spins the rudder and pushes the throttle to points elsewhere. We're up for the challenge and look forward to being the kernel that starts a good ole 'tie up' on the lake.
Milton Vretenar Park, 4230 S Kirkwood Ave, St Francis, WI 53235
Rotary Park of Mitchell Field third (I think it's third) annual Food Truck and Jazz Fest. Multiple bands, many food trucks, great time for the whole family - with proceeds benefitting the Rotarian's fight against polio.
The 2026 summer season bracketed by Memorial Day and Labor Day shepherded in by the J Ryan Trio at the one and only Ally's Bistro conveniently located in Menomonee Falls. Try their signature cocktails, checkout their comfy lounge, enjoy a first class menu.
Jazz and steak and cocktails - sounds like a great Saturday nite!
