# Event Details

- **Event Name**: The Pocket Kings at Buttermilk Festival
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 01 Jul, 2026 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: The Pocket Kings are a crack unit of elite musicians trained in the fine art of igniting guerrilla dance parties and whipping crowds into a groove-inspired frenzy. Their weapon of choice? The best R&B, Soul, and Funk music of the modern era.

But wait, let's get specific for a minute. We're talking about the top-shelf stuff. Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Prince, D'Angelo, Ike and Tina, and The Isley Brothers. Heck, we even throw in the Roots covering Mya covering Les McCann covering Roberta Flack. Deep, right? And there's so much more.

The point is, The Pocket Kings bring an incredibly tight musical performance full of interesting, funky, danceable songs that will keep any joint jumping all night. The music sounds great, and people can't resist shaking something when they hear it—preferably what their mamas gave them. Some people even feel compelled to give us awards—like the 2023 WAMI for Best R&B/Funk Band.

The band is made up of Greg McMonagle (vocals), Lexie Lakmann (vocals), Kelvin Kaspar (guitar), Mike Malone (drums), Matt Vanderlinden (bass), and Sam Lakmann (keyboards). If you're really lucky, you might catch us with a full horn section featuring Eric Koppa (saxophone) and Kurt Shipe (trumpet). Then things get really serious. Collectively, we've played all over Wisconsin and beyond at events like Waterfest, Wisconsin Funk Fest, and the Oshkosh Main Street Music Festival. Lots of fests. We've opened for well-known acts like Tower of Power and Gregg Rolie (from Santana and Journey). Also Loverboy. I know. We thought that one was weird, too.

Show starts at 7 pm!  Food concession NOT available. Rain location: County Fairgrounds
