Fish Creek, Wis. (June 25, 2025) – The Washington Island All-Stars, an eclectic band of Island-based musical artists brought together by folkie troubadour Julian Hagen, is scheduled to open the Fishstock Concert Series’ 2025 season in Fish Creek on Sunday, June 29.
A lifelong Island resident, Julian Hagen is a well-known musical presence throughout northeast Wisconsin and Door County, in particular, where his enthusiastic performances and showmanship have helped keep the area on the Upper Midwest musical map. Hagen’s latest musical project is the Washington Island All-Stars, which consists of three talented singer/songwriters: Jesse Hansen, Nick Gonzalez, and Kevin Jones. Rounding out the All-Stars roster is the Island band Frog Furr, an Indie/Folk/Americana/Bluegrass group that features Pauline Taylor (fiddle), Diego Anderson (bass), and Talya DeYoung (guitar).
The 10-concert Fishstock Concert Series focuses on offering the best live music in several varieties of acoustic genres, said concert promoter Steve Ellmann. Reserved seating tickets ($25) are available for advance purchase at Door County Tickets: doorcountytickets.com/organizations/fishstock-music-series. Both reserved and general admission tickets can be purchased on show nights (cash or check only) at the Fishstock ticket booth, which opens at 6:00 pm. General admission tickets are $20.
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.”
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. The Series is a combination of some of the area’s best local musicians and bands with visiting favorites. There are once again ten energized Sunday evenings of great music this season.
Fishstock seats 200 in the ground-level indoor area and an additional 200 in the outside seating area. Both concert areas 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. Prior to each show, acclaimed local guitarist George Sawyn will play in the outside seating area from 5:30–6:45 pm, and tailgating by patrons is encouraged.
