Need motivation to get through another dreaded week at your soul-sucking job? There\u2019s no shortage of cool stuff to do in Madison… it\u2019s just figuring out which cool stuff best suits you. Here\u2019s what Madison is doing this week.<\/span>\n

The Steel Wheels<\/h2>\n

Monday, Oct. 21, High Noon Saloon (info<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n

Progressive Americana outfit The Steel Wheels embraced their inner U2 on \u201cKeep On<\/a>,\u201d a standout track from their 2019 album, Over the Trees<\/em>. While their inherent downhomeness is still present, it\u2019s now accompanied by cavernous tom rolls and soaring vocals harmonies. It\u2019s the kind of song you\u2019d want to scream off the Blue Ridge Mountains in the group\u2019s home state of Virginia. Though singing along in Madison is a pretty nice consolation.<\/span>\n

Moon Hooch<\/h2>\n

Tuesday, Oct. 22, High Noon Saloon (info<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n

I can\u2019t be alone in thinking there\u2019s a severe lack of saxophone these days. Luckily, Moon Hooch\u2019s jazz fusion makes heavy use of my personal favorite woodwind instrument, incorporating two of them. Over their three albums, Moon Hooch have reimagined jazz for the modern nightclub. Bring on that sax-a-ma-phone<\/a>! With electronic crew Jaw Gems<\/strong>, who trade samplers and drum machines for a live band.<\/p>\n
