Working Draft is participating in Make Music Madison again! We’ll be hosting seven different local musical acts throughout the fun-filled day, including:
12 - 1pm - SA-X Quartet - A sax quartet started in 2025 based in Madison, WI that performs chamber music, jazz, film & video game scores, and modern music including the likes of Disney Musicals, The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Aerosmith, and Billie Eillish.

4 - 5pm - The Night Painters - The Night Painters are an indie rock trio based in Madison. They recently released their sophomore album, Fence of Perfect Lines, that explores life's shifting landscape, the push and pull between security and passion, and the question of whether we're truly in control of our own future
5:15 - 6:15pm - Too Sick Charlie - “Some people play music like a lotta people don’t…” Too Sick Charlie and his genuine one man band have gained a reputation of playing uncompromising, no-nonsense roots music that spans Folk blues to American street harmonica and more… With his 3 string cigar box guitar he picks out foot tappin’ licks and lays down some solid beats with his drum kit. And throw in some soulful harp for good measure. Winner 2021 Paramount Music Association Blues Challenge (solo/duo). Quarterfinalist International Blues Challenge, Memphis. Too Sick regularly performs in the upper Midwest.
6:30 - 8pm - Tapestry - Tapestry has been performing American Roots and more since 2019 across Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan and Illinois. Each show includes weaving strong vocal harmonies and utilizing an arsenal of instruments to create a unique sound all their own.
8 - 9pm - Lochanside - Lochanside is a Scottish folk band consisting of a shuttle bagpipe, guitar, fiddle, Celtic flute, and a bodhran. This Madison-based group plays Scottish music, everything from centuries old traditional songs and upbeat dance tunes, to new Celtic music coming out of Scotland today.
We also plan on having a food truck popping up, as well as Working Draft’s delicious beer. We also have a good amount of gluten-free and non-alcoholic options available, so come one, come all to support live local music!
