ABATE Summer Hummer / Vetro Winery


We wish to thank everyone who participated in ABATE's 2009 Summer Hummer. We had a blast up in Rural Greenwood, WI this past weekend! Too bad the rain kept some people away during the day, but nighttime was a perfect summer night. We spent the night camped out and next year I plan to stay longer. This is a fantastic biker event that everyone who rides must come out and see. Its only 4 hours northwest of Milwaukee and makes for a great ride. From the response we had, I'm hoping to play it again next year.

Special thanks to Matt Graettinger, the stage, sound, & musical coordintor for convincing the board to bring up some Southern rock from Milwaukee. I've known Matt for 20+ years and have had the privilege of playing for him at the Summer Hummer in past years. Thanks, Matt, you're the best! Thank you, Pat and Mainstage Sound! You always make me sound better than I am! ;) Thanks, Tiger, for your support! Thank you, Bobby Evans and the Alimony Blues Band! You guys rock!! Thanks, Bobby for everything you said. Coming from a seasoned veteran like yourself, it means a lot! I wish we could jam with more bands like you guys. Keep Rocking!

Not to be forgotten, the band would like to thank the Vetro Winery for having us play for the 5th Annual Winefest. Even though the rain kept coming, we kept the people entertained! Thanks, Laurie and Carrie, for thinking of us and hope you raised a bunch of money for Special Olympics of Wisconsin! Also, thank you, Connie and Fish, from 97.3 The Brew. You f'n rock yourself, Fish! See ya at The Brew stage at Summerfest!
