Webb Wilder
Webb Wilder was “Americana” before it had a name, and is bonafide Roots Rock Royalty. He’s made albums ranging from the very roots of Rock and Roll to some of its “crunchier” Classic Rock cousins–Outlaw Country, straight-up Blues, Rockabilly, Southern Rock, and all points in between. -
Hi-Fi Comets
A hot-rod trio that’s all about Rhythm & Blues, Jump, and Swing. If you love bands like Louis Jordan, the Paladins, and Jimmie Vaughan then come and check them out! -
Mane Thompson
A 7th grade student at Spring Harbor Middle School in Madison. He made a big splash in Madison’s summer festival scene last year. He won the middle school karaoke contest at La Fete de Marquette which then allowed him to kick off the main stage at the Willy Street Festival.
Celebrate our mission and learn about our Building Our Legacy: Sustainability Now & Into the Future campaign, while celebrating the difference music makes in our community.
The mission of Music Makes a Difference is to use the power of music to bring people together, support musicians and venues, celebrate musical diversity, and raise contributions for local charities.
This nonprofit organization was founded by Bill Zorr in early 2017. Bill was working regularly at a homeless shelter and supporting other organizations like Big Brothers/Big Sisters, but felt he could do more. Bill loves music and noticed how people of different backgrounds enjoyed musical events together, so it dawned on him to combine his passion for music with his passion for charitable causes and Music Makes a Difference was born.
