We have an English Rock invasion on August 12th. Shattered, a Rolling Stones Tribute band and Substitute, Tales from the Who (The Who tribute band) will be coming to SummerStage.
Shattered ~ Rolling Stones Tribute Band
For Shattered, it’s all about reproducing the sound, feel and vibe of the Rolling Stones live. They take pride in it, and they do it very well… They’ve been taking the act all across the midwest for ten years now, from venues as small as a trailer home, to numerous appearances at Milwaukee’s Summerfest. They defy anyone to find an act that does it better. There songs include: Start Me Up, Honky Tonk Woman, Brown Sugar, Get off of my Cloud, Shattered, Let’s Spend the Night Together, and many more.
Substitute (Tales from the Who)
With a look and sound that captures The Who at the height of their 70’s peak, Substitute plays the songs that have become part of rock legend. Songs include: Won’t Get Fooled Again, Summertime Blues, Pinball Wizard, and many more.

Bill Camplin

Bill is a strong guitarist as well as a skilled singer with a beautiful tenor voice and great range. He is noted for penetrating, intensely emotional performances of both his original songs and his interpretations of others such as Bob Dylan.
Bill began playing professionally in the Milwaukee Area in the late 1960′s. Bill writes and arranges his own material and has produced a considerable body of work. He was an integral part of the Milwaukee acoustic folk scene for many years and appeared regularly at various clubs including the Blue River Café, Numero Unos, The Crystal Palace, The Avante Garde and the 19th Street Coffee House.
The Sixes
The Sixes hail from Eau Claire, WI.
“We play Acoustic music with an edge, bringing a very intimate atmosphere that is also engaging, making you want to sing along and move with the music. Our songs are about life, love, and everything in between. No particular genre defines us. We have soft melodic moments of innocence and moments of intense in your face bluesy rock.”
– Dwayne Thomas
