GREAT MUSIC. GREAT FOOD. GREAT FUN.
ALL ON A GREAT LAKE!
Presented by The Mary Lou & Arthur F. Mahone Fund
Thank you for attending!
Main Stage Headliner
Jonathan Butler
Born in South Africa under the shadow of apartheid and raised in poverty, Butler was the first non-white artist to be played on South African radio and appear on national television. Though his musical abilities would take him away from the world he grew up in, Jonathan would neither forget the plight of his fellow South Africans, nor the man that led them to freedom. It is for this reason Nelson Mandela credits Butler’s music as having inspired him during his imprisonment. In more ways than one, Jonathan Butler is representative of South Africa.
Christopher's Project
Back by Popular Demand, Stepping Returns to the Festival with a Twist!
This year at the HarborPark Jazz, Rhythm & Blues Festival, steppers will be stepping to the sounds of Milwaukee's very own Christopher's Project. Also, as an added treat, we will have a line dance segment! The crowd will be invited to learn some of the most popular line dances, including Flashing by Dial Tone the Producer, Feel So Right by Janet Jackson, and for those who like something a bit slower and easier, Cupid Flex by Cupid and GLU by Usher. See you on the "wood" (dance floor) for a lot of fun and a bit of exercise!
