June 2025: The Lake Country area will again experience another lineup of some of the best live music thanks to Matt Spransy, music producer and organizer of Twilight Concerts at Fowler Park (438 N Oakwood Ave, Oconomowoc, WI 53066). Exclusively sponsored by Ixonia Bank, the concert series takes place on three Sundays over the course of the summer. The concerts run from 6:30PM to 9:00PM each night and feature national touring musicians, including:

  • Oshima Brothers – Sunday, July 13: American folk-pop with groovy guitar. All the way from Maine, get ready for some of the smoothest alt-pop you have heard. With shades of Lake Street Dive and Hozier, these Japanese-Italian brothers have racked up tens of million Spotify plays. See them before they get huge!
  • Ashes & Arrows – Sunday, August 10: Country rock! For fans of NeedToBreathe and The Avett Brothers, this duo from Asheville, North Carolina, and Arrowtown, New Zealand, was a huge hit on the 2024 season of America’s Got Talent. Their powerful Country Rock with towering harmonies has garnered millions of streams and video views.
  • Willy Porter Band – Sunday, September 14: A seamless blend of blues, soul, and rock. WAMI Hall of Fame member Willy Porter is joined by his band consisting of 5 stellar, multiple award-winning musicians. Willy is an astonishing guitar player and clever lyricist who has toured with Sting, Paul Simon, Jethro Tull, Tori Amos and Jeff Beck.

Starting this year, we are adding opening acts, including viola-pop artist Katie Lynne Sharbaugh, vocalist and banjo player Rachael Davis, and multi-instrumentalist Mean Mary.

Matt Spransy says, “Cellist Dave Eggar (Coldplay, Taylor Swift, Beyonce, etc) told me that we have accomplished “a very rare thing” with the success of our concert series. This is our fifth season, and already we are drawing over 1,000 people per concert, which is fantastic for the Lake Country area. This year we have some very talented artists, including Ashes & Arrows, for which Simon Cowell of America’s Got Talent gave a standing ovation!”

Twilight Concerts are a free, family-friendly event. Bring your own chairs and blankets, pack a picnic basket & drinks, and enjoy a magical musical experience with the lake and sunset in the background.

About Twilight Concert Series – What began as a small group playing music on Matt’s porch transformed into concerts with 700 – 1,000 people, featuring original live music by award-winning artists. These events became so popular that a larger venue was needed. Thus, the “Twilight Concerts at Fowler Park” was born in 2021. The Twilight Concerts have continued to grow and provide opportunities to be inspired by the best in live music, from emerging artists on the scene to Grammy winning, established artists.
