Barefoot Trio!

Get ready for a night of unforgettable music at Odin and Freja’s as the Barefoot Trio takes the stage! This powerhouse group brings together three of the Midwest’s most seasoned and soulful musicians. On keys, Dennis Wage brings a wealth of experience and groove—from his early days in Wisconsin to a celebrated Nashville career that includes touring with legends like Delbert McClinton, T. Graham Brown, and Jack Pearson. He’s also a Grammy Award winner for his work on Tall, Dark & Handsome by Self-Made Men featuring Delbert McClinton. On drums, Tony Wagner, a fixture of the Wisconsin music scene, brings decades of performance and educational experience. A Lawrence Conservatory alum, he helped shape the region’s jazz and blues identity with groups like Matrix, Janet Planet’s combo, and the award-winning Streetlife—house band for the Milwaukee Bucks. He’s toured the U.S. and Europe, hosted clinics with the world’s greatest drummers, and continues to mentor the next generation through his state-of-the-art drum studio. And on harmonica and vocals, Milwaukee’s own Jimmy Schwarz delivers the raw, electric spirit of Chicago Blues, with decades of fiery performances that have made him a local legend. The Barefoot Trio brings the soul, the grit, and the groove—don’t miss this incredible night of live music at Odin and Freja’s!
