Saturday, 11:00 am & 3:15 pm
Sunday, 2:30 pm

Voted 2007 Best Children's Musician by Madison Magazine, simply put, kids love David Landau. His appearances are educational, upbeat musical programs that involve children of all ages as active participants. The kids sing some, move some, act some, dance some, shout just a little bit, laugh a bunch, and learn some very important things. The adults just sit back and enjoy the show.

Star Valley Serenaders

(Crawford County, WI)

Saturday, 4:30 - 6:00 pm

Recognized as a spirited and expressive fiddler, Serenaders' Tim Foss is well known as one of the Midwest's elite players. Hans brings 20 years of old-time banjo and guitar playing to the stage and Greg's washtub bass provides the driving foundation. The group is completed by Kathy, another experienced performer who illustrates the tunes while she plays with her cloggin' and flat-footin'. This is one act you don't want to miss.

John Statz

Saturday, 12:15 - 1:15 pm

John's sound is so unassuming it's as if he picked up his guitar from his bed and said, "Hey wanna hear somethin'?" Yet his music is as affecting as any. The songs John performs contain beautiful guitar playing and honest raspy vocals that harkens back to the golden age of folk artists. In 2007 John's debut album won a Madison Area Music Award for "Folk/Americana Album of the Year".

Hogtown Stompers

(Kickapoo Valley, WI)

Sunday, 3:45 - 5:00 pm

Like all great retired bands do eventually, the Stompers have reunited, just in time and specifically for this year's Kickapoo Country Fair. Their ragtime jug music is guaranteed to stick to your ribs. Good times soon follow when the tall guy whips out his specially made kazoozaphone and lets loose.

Pie City Ramblers

(Viroqua/Mt. Zion/Star Valley, WI)

Saturday, 1:45 - 2:45 pm

The Pie City Ramblers play traditional American roots music including honky-tonk, western swing, and folk. The Ramblers are another one of the areas "super-groups" whose members drift in and out from other bands, which is ironic considering southwestern Wisconsin is known as the driftless region.

Tom Miron

(Madison via Dell, WI)

Sunday, 1:00 - 2:00 pm

Farm-raised guitarist Tom Miron brings to the stage thoughtful, original, e-coustic Kickapoogian tales, blues, and ballads, along with unique takes on artists such as Cream, Herman's Hermits, and Jesse Colin Young. Think of his return to the KCF as Highway D revisited.
