Ya'll! I'm back from Knoxville and Roanoke. Let me first say how good it was to see you East Tennesseans and Virginians. Thanks so much for comin' out to the Corner Lounge and the Spot on Kirk!

THIS weekend, I'm gathering the troops and heading behind "the Cheddar Curtain" to beautiful Wisconsin, with Friday, 7/18/2025 at The Bur Oak in Madison. Doors at 6pm, show time at 7pm. Hi-Fi Comets and Mane Thompson open. Tickets are $18 in advance, $22 on the day of the show. You can get yours in advance through Bur Oak's website.

Then, on Saturday, 7/19/2025, we travel to Rhinelander, WI, for the (FREE!) WXPR Open Airwaves Summer Concert. Here's what they have to say about it:

"This is a FREE show presented by WXPR Public Radio and Music Makes a Difference. The fun starts at 5:30pm and runs to 9pm, with Webb's band as well as Mama Ginger & the Red Hots playing. Weather permitting, this will take place outdoors. Drinks will be available for sale, and people are invited to bring folding chairs, picnic baskets, and dancing shoes. Come join in the fun!"

Well, okay. Tune me in weekday afternoons (1pm-5pm Central) and Saturday mornings (7am-9am Central) on 24/7 Roots and Americana WMOT/Roots Radio, wmot.org.

Check out the new Hillbilly Speedball album on all streaming platforms or get the real deal compact disc or vinyl LP at WebbWilder.com.

Most of all, be good to yourself and others. Hope to see lots of you at the shows!

Yer dang'd ol' buddy,
Webb Wilder,
