It’s Sunday Funday at Giant Jones & our Lagniappe stage will be showcasing amazing musical acts all day long. Our tasting room will open at Noon so come on by and grab some beers & sit back and enjoy the music…

1pm-2pm The Stop and Listen – The Stop and Listen plays old-time stringband music with a unique set of instruments and voices. We specialize in fiddle tunes, old-time songs, jug band numbers, and country blues. They bring some serious drive and groove with harmonicas (sometimes a couple at once), extraordinary improvisation on cello and fiddle, banjos of uncompromising size, and a bass with a chip on its shoulder. Songs are sung with an old-time swagger, harmonies included.

2:45pm-3:45pm The Lonesome Cobras – A band from Madison and Milwaukee featuring an unusual take on songwriter music–with violin, accordion, upright bass, multiple vocalists, and a dark, bluesy sound.

4:30pm-5:30pm Jon Irabagon Trio – First-generation Filipino-American saxophonist Jon Irabagon (b. 1978, Chicago) draws from the AACM’s innovative spirit and Chicago’s storied tenor saxophone legacy. Equally skilled in modern jazz and new music, he blends influences from late-period Coltrane and modern classical, composing primarily for mixed chamber ensembles tailored to his musicians’ unique voices.

6:15pm-7:15pm Mr Chair – Mr. Chair is a boundary-pushing Madison piano trio blending jazz, classical, and experimental sounds. Known for dynamic collaborations across genres, they’ve released acclaimed albums like Nebulebula, Better Days, the operatic Sirena, and hip hop-infused Spectaculous. Their adventurous performances range from A Charlie Brown Christmas to Stravinsky reworks, all marked by bold storytelling and musical precision.
