11pm- Holy Sheboygan!
Genre: Garbage Folk
For fans of: Carolina Chocolate Drops, Tom Waits

Holy Sheboygan! is a band of scavengers. Creeping through the dark alleys of musical sound, they borrow melodies from a wide array of genres, tape-recorded noise from the chaos of their everyday lives, and re-purposed percussion from the dumpsters of Wisconsin’s Fox Valley. By their very nature, they can be described as nothing other than 'garbage folk.'
