The Chicago-based trio of Big Sadie formed in 2014 and boasts an impressive repertoire of bluegrass, old-time, early country, and original music in three-part harmony. Big Sadie’s uplifting performance invites audiences to share in a centuries-old tradition of unified experience between listener and performer.
The band’s roots span from the north of Milwaukee to the heart of Appalachia. Chicago native Elise Bergman grew up surrounded by music. She brings a solid blues influence to the band and owns a subtle lyrical twang that is easily received. Collin Moore grew up in the hills of East Tennessee, where he began learning tunes at an early age from his mother, an accomplished fiddler and ballad singer. Jess McIntosh hails from Southeast Wisconsin and teaches fiddle at the Old Town School of Folk Music. A lifelong and uniquely versatile musician, she comfortably moves between genres of traditional American music, as well as classical and contemporary styles.
Prepare to become a part of their world at the Sugar Maple fest.
We are thrilled to welcome back Marcia Miquelon to lead activities at our kids tent Saturday afternoon, August 6. Marcia is director of the Wild Rumpus Circus Camp and will engage young festival-goers with activities such as hooping, juggling, feather balancing, acrobatics, and more… Dance, music and circus arts make a perfect accompaniment to our own “Big Top!”
Since 2002, the Wild Rumpus Circus Camp has been offering kids ages 7 and up the chance to explore stilt walking, trapeze, acrobatics, clowning, juggling, tight wire walking, pantomime, physical theater, circus history and more! The camp promotes confidence and cooperation through action, emphasizing focused development of circus skills while having fun together. Whether the skill at hand is balance, coordination, strength, flexibility or creative expression, students gain self-esteem, learn valuable lessons about teamwork and tolerance, and develop their physical and mental agility.
They also play country, ragtime, hot jazz, hillbilly… it’s all the same to them. It’s all taken from the same deep, muddy well called American Music. And they’re bringing it all to the 2016 Sugar Maple Fest stage.
