The Sounds at Sunset 2025 concert lineup is:
Tuesday, June 17 – Stephen Hull Experience
Born in 1999 and a native of Racine, Stephen Hull started playing blues at age 14 and never stopped, taking cues from Albert King and B.B. King as he developed his sweet, soulful guitar sound. Balancing that with his stellar lead vocals and infectiously buoyant personality, Hull has been rising fast in the blues clubs of Chicago and venues across southeastern Wisconsin.
Tuesday, July 8 – The LoveMonkeys
A top-drawing band in Wisconsin for 30-plus years, The LoveMonkeys’ high-energy, jam-packed performances are filled with pop hits, reggae rhythms and one-of-a-kind medleys. No two LoveMonkeys shows are alike, and the band’s devoted fans often travel miles to dance on stage or shake a tambourine with the guys.
Tuesday, July 29 – Betsy Ade & the Well-Known Strangers
Betsy Ade & the Well-Known Strangers (BAWKS) have been entertaining Midwest audiences with their cello-infused alternative pop/rock sound since 2015. Ade was a Top 24 Contestant on NBC's "The Voice,” and BAWKS has performed with international acts that include Melissa Etheridge, Blind Melon, Shawn Colvin, the Gufs and Sebastian Bach.
Tuesday, August 19 – Dancing Queen: An ABBA Salute
The ultimate tribute to the music of ABBA that is sure to capture the hearts of fans and audiences of all ages! Their live show is full of musical prowess, fabulous flair and fashion, and promises a mesmerizing ABBA experience for every Chiquitita, Super Trouper, Fernando, and Dancing Queen around.
