Road Trip is much more than your typical rock cover band. They have developed a tremendous regional following by mastering the two key elements of rock and roll: diversity and energy. A concert by Road Trip features video screens and state-of-the-art light show, put on by dedicated musicians and singers who love what they do, and it shows. They continuously create new videos and add new music to their set lists, keeping their shows fresh and full of energy.

Award winning vocalists Amy Jo Doty and Shawn Connelly, lead the band through a 3+ hour show filled with songs from everyone’s favorite artists.  Pink, Chris Stapleton, Billy Eilish, Katy Perry, Michael Jackson, Ozzy, and Guns & Roses are just a few of the bands Road Trip brings to life. The music behind the vocals includes Dylan Morey on lead guitar, DJ Doty on rhythm guitar, Robert George Welsch Jr. on bass, and Matt Gieseke on drums. They give 100% at every performance to help ensure their fans experience a memorable show.  They want every person to experience the party that the band is throwing; loud, wild, exciting, surprising, real and up-close.

Road Trip has won many awards throughout the years for best Cover Band, along with best Female and Male Vocalist.  Not to mention they have been nominated in at least one category every year for the Wisconsin Area Music Industry Awards (WAMI). This is one concert you won’t want to miss! The passion and spirit that The Glam Band brings to the stage is unmatched in the world of cover bands. Combining an all star performing group, along with the costuming, hair and makeup of the 80s Glam era creates a multi sensory experience for those in the audience. Anyone with an appreciation of 80’s rock will love this group and their energetic interaction with the crowd.

The series, which is organized by Ripon Main Street, Inc., takes place through the end of August at the Village Green located at the corner of Watson and Seward Street in historic downtown Ripon. A variety of beverages are available and participants are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets to sit on. No carry-ins are allowed in the park because beverage sales help cover entertainment expenses.

Next week’s concert features the 5 Card Studs.
