21 August 2022 News
This week’s Horicon Bank Ripon Summer Concert Series (Friday, August 26th) features the return of Madison County, one of Wisconsin’s favorite country bands. The concert, which takes place from 7:00 to 10:00 pm at the Village Green in downtown Ripon, is sponsored by Condon Companies.
MADISON COUNTY is a 7-piece Country show band based out of Madison, WI that continuously evolves its high-energy engaging show to stay fresh and unique. They have been voted Local Group of the Year 9 years in a row at the Madison Country Music Awards, Country Artist of the Year at the MAMA Awards (Madison Area Music Association), and People’s Choice Award winner for 6 years at the WAMI Awards (Wisconsin Area Music Industry).
MADISON COUNTY has released 3 full CDs (“Diamond In the Rough”, “Make My Way Back Home” and “Enjoy the Ride”), as well as a 6-song EP with an Indie Label, out of Nashville, entitled “Perspective”. This self-titled single was voted “Best Country Song” at the MAMA Awards. The group has sold well over 15,000 CDs and thousands of digital sales of their music, along with 6 local radio releases. During the 2020 Covid19 shutdown, Madison County worked on new original music, releasing “Roller Coaster Ride” in May, “Drinkin’ Crowd” in June, and “Set Me Free” in July. Videos are available on their website (www.madcounty.com/music).
This group has earned the respect of some of the most talented musicians throughout Wisconsin, along with radio stations and fans alike. MADISON COUNTY has been privileged to share the stage with many national artists over the years, including: Little Big Town, Bake Shelton, Dierks Bentley, Keith Urban, Rascal Flatts, and Dwight Yoakum to name a few.
The concert series, which is organized by Ripon Main Street, Inc., takes place from 7:00 to 10:00 pm at the Village Green located at the corner of Watson and Seward Street in 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.
The summer concert series concludes next week with national recording artist Hinder. The opening performer is Lines of Loyalty.
