Fish Creek, Wis. (February 17, 2025) – February 22 with two events: a 10 a.m. DJ set by David Watkins focused on rock music pioneers, and an evening performance by Bayside Radio Theatre at 7 p.m.
David Watkins’ curated set of tunes exploring early country music heroes is the third and final 2025 installment of DCA’s annual “Door County Talks” series—this year called “Door County Talks (and Listens).” Watkins specializes in 20th-century R&B, blues, jazz, country, old-time, rock, exotica, Hawaiian, international, and rare Christmas music. Spinning his thoughtfully curated sets from real records (78s, 45s, and LPs) on modern equipment, Watkins brings an analog feel to a digital world. In this set, he showcases pioneers of rock music, including Elvis Presley and Bill Haley and The Saddlemen.
Door County Talks (& Listens) sessions begin at 10:00 a.m. in the DCA lobby. They are free to the public; freewill donations are encouraged. Coffee and bakery will be available for purchase.
At 7 p.m., also in the lobby, DCA will host a coffeehouse performance by Bayside Radio Theatre, in which heroes, villains, and mysteries come alive through sound alone. The cast of five—Vance Toivonen, Mark Moede, Christopher Powless, Bruce Newbern, and Cherryl Fonfara—uses character voices, atmospheric sound effects, and original, old-time radio scripts to take audiences back in time to the golden age of radio. At DCA, they’ll perform It Happened One Night (in which a spoiled socialite falls in love with a roguish reporter) and Sunset Boulevard (in which a former silent-film star draws a screenwriter into her deranged fantasy world).
The Bayside Radio Theatre performance will take place at 7:00 p.m. in the DCA Fireside lobby. Coffee and bakery will be available for purchase.
DCA is located at 3926 Highway 42 in Fish Creek. The box office is open Monday-Friday, 12-5 p.m. Tickets can be purchased in person, on the phone at (920) 868-2728, or online at www.dcauditorium.org.
