The 2/5ths Party Band is comprised of former members of the Jerry Schneider Band Matt Schneider on drums, Patti Schoenborn-Kinjerski on keys and vocals, Tom Schneider doing whatever it is he does and the newest member to join us, Jon Kabat on upright bass. Jon and his wife Gina live with their family in Kiel, WI. Both have a varied musical background that brings a great touch to the band! That rounds out our 4 piece ensemble

Rodello the Kidd is an alternative band delivering an easy-listening sound that feels both nostalgic and fresh. Led by Nick Rodello on vocals and acoustic guitar, RtK features a talented lineup including Jon Wheelock (Bluestalk, The Tunes, Cool Waters Band) on bass guitar, Ben Groovin of ShrimpVision on lead guitar, and a rotating cast of standout drummers from the Fox Valley music community.

Russ started playing professionally in 1975 and spent six years with Truc Of America , a show band that moved from Wisconsin to West Palm Beach Fl. He also had been playing lead guitar with Vic Ferrari since 1989. In 1997, Russ started the Stringbenders with Dave Steffen. His solo acoustic show covers classic rock and folk rock of the 60s and 70s, with a few modern tunes thrown in for good measure.
