The 2019 Fishstock Concert Series will open with singer/songwriter Will Kruger’s tribute to John Denver on Sunday, June 30. Kruger’s musical roots go back to the folk eera and his influences are musicians like Peter, Paul & Mary, Simon & Garfunkel, Gordon Lighfoot, John Denver, and James Taylor.
The 10-concert Fishstock Series includes a wide range of well-known musicians in the genres of folk, Americans, and alternative music, said concert promoter Steve Ellman. “We really lucked out in terms of musician availability for our dates this year, which are always on Sundays at 7 pm,” said Ellman. “This is a group of touring musicians that represents some of the best of what’s happening on the curretn music scene, with a heavy emphasis on folk.”
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.”
