Fishstock Concert Series Features Jazz Vocalist Janet Planet on August 22

Fish Creek, Wis. (August 10, 2021) — The 2021 Fishstock Concert Series will feature a performance by acclaimed Wisconsin jazz vocalist Janet Planet and her band on Sunday, August 22.

Based in Oshkosh, Planet has been a mainstay of the Wisconsin jazz scene throughout her roughly 30-year career. As noted in Isthmus by music writer Katie Mohr a few years ago, “{Janet’s) voice is simple, elegant and backed by refined instrumentals that mingle for luxurious listening — including the most urbane rendition of “Deep in the Heart of Texas” you’ve ever heard. Her voice conveys an easy confidence that is strong and emotional in all the right measures, but sometimes all but disappears into floating, ethereal tones, like smoke curling through the air. A self-declared hybrid musician, Planet plays a mix of jazz and blues, plus arrangements of work from familiar musicians.”

The 10-concert Fishstock Series includes a wide range of well-known musicians in the genres of folk, Americans, and alternative music. To attend a Fishstock concert, drive down County Hwy F east of Fish Creek and close to the intersection with Maple Grove Rd. you’ll notice a big white barn on the south side of the highway covered with colorful letters dubbing it “Fishstock.”

To purchase reserved $25 seating online, visit Door County Tickets (https://doorcountytickets.com/events/janet-planet-8-22-2021). Fishstock concert tickets can also be purchased at the door for $20 general admission.

The 100-year-old Fishstock concert barn is one of Door County’s most unique performance locations. What began in 1985 as a venture in employee housing evolved into the site of Sunday night folk, Americana and alternative music concerts. After Janet Planet’s performance in the Concert Series, there will be two more Sunday evenings of Fishstock’s great music, inlcuding Jimmy Davis on August 29 and Eric Lewis & Friends on September 5.

Fishstock seats 150 people in the venue’s hayloft acoustic area for live intermission acts plus another 300 in the ground-level indoor area and an additional 300 in the outside seating area. Both concert ares feature independent state-of-the-art lighting and sound systems, creating a personal and rustic setting for performers and audiences alike. A digital projection system with a 10 ft. screen relays the stage views to the outdoor seating.
