Good, live, local music has always been the hallmark of the Milwaukee Oyster Roast. This year we have chosen two (2) really great local acts to compliment the remarkable menu Maxie's has prepared for us this year: Evan Christian and The Rhythm Kings!
We believe the musical stylings of both Evan and The Rhythm Kings are perfectly suited for the roast! You're going to want to dance...just don't forget to eat some oysters first. (Oh, and maybe bid on a couple auction items...it's a fundraiser after all!) |

And Introducing Our Headliner... The Rhythm Kings! From their home town of Milwaukee to Las Vegas and Hong Kong, The Rhythm Kings have played it all! For the past 20 years, the Kings have been a staple at Summer Fest.
