August 11, 2023 @ 3:00 pm - 10:00 pm Bierock
Great Taste of the Midwest is almost here and so are Great Taste Eve events, including a special one at Bierock on Friday August 11 from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
We’ve got featured beer tappings from Blackrocks Brewery in Marquette, Mich. and live music on the docket.
Performing live music will be Leslie Hudson with support from Madison’s own Jack o’ the Dust, starting at 8:00 p.m.
Leslie Hudson comes to us all the way from Ontario, Canada as part of their 2023 Wanderling Tour.

Inspiration is never in short supply. With special interests in Irish language, East Coast music, Star Trek, folklore, corvids, and poisonous plants, Leslie’s albums, EPs and singles cast a wide net. Stylistically, although the piano remains an almost constant, their releases range from folk to rock to jazzy to indie-pop. Thematically, they jump from confessional to sci fi to ancient myth. Their favourite kind of album is one that tells a story, so whether it’s the witch in Hansel and Gretel or the Borg Queen, Leslie climbs inside the minds of their characters and gives them a voice.
Jack o’ the Dust is an acoustic folk duo comprised of Andrew Doiel on guitar and Amy McNally on fiddle.
Look out for indie-rock and punk influences in their soulful originals and covers.
Meanwhile, we’ll have a mini tap takeover with every Badger State purchase entering customers into a drawing for Great Taste tickets on Saturday August 13.
