My boyfriend and I initially clicked in large part due to our shared love of good music. He had recently moved back to Wisconsin after a few years of attending grad school in North Dakota… you think NE Wisconsin doesn’t have much of a music scene, try Grand Forks, ND. He didn’t know a soul who had even heard of Death Cab and was ecstatic when he saw my compilation of DCFC cd’s sitting next to my stereo the first night we met. We used to attend live shows all the time (when we met about 5 years ago), but haven’t been to one in ages and have never seen Death Cab together live (I’m sad to say, I’ve never seen them live at all). We were contemplating making the trip to this concert, and free tickets would definitely help us make our decision! Please, please, please! There isn’t a single artist/band playing that we wouldn’t be thrilled to see live, but it would be particularly great to see DCFC.

We are headed to central WI for a desperately-needed weekend away and would love to go to the show. Seeing Ben Harper, Death Cab for Cutie, etc would be the perfect ending to a week that started with the AMAZING Ryan Adams show last Sunday.

Good luck y’all.

I would love to see all the artists but probably my favorite would be Ben Harper. His music is so chill he can tame even the wildest beast.

Ben Folds and Death Cab for Cutie are also a major thrill. This is a concert for the books.

I’d really love to go to the show this weekend. I’ve wanted to see Death Cab in concert ever since I started listening to their music during my unfortunate mobilization with the Army Reserve. Apparently the brooding sentimentality of Ben Gibbard really hits the spot when somebody is miserable.

I also really like the other Bens (Harper and Folds), and my girlfriend likes the same stuff as well.

I would awesome and awesome if I got to go to this show. Would love to see Ben Folds and M Ward to finally figure out what everyone is talking about.

I didn’t even know this show was going on, but I’d LOVE to make the trip up north. I have never caught Ben folds live, haven’t seen Ben Harper in 4 years, and would love to hear death cab’s new stuff live, but I’d be most excited to see M. Ward… It’s been a really rough week already (had to put my dog down sun. night) and I can’t imagine a better way to end it than hearing that voice live….

Don’t forget to catch the opening act – The Boys Choir of Kenya with the Marquette University High School Chorus. All these guys are excited to share the same stage with the big rock acts. Even if you don’t get the tix from MOB, go anyway and contribute to a great cause.

Bad economy, I am teetering on job loss and my wife an I have not been to a concert in years. What a great opportunity for someone. Good luck everyone.

Oh my! I’d LOOOOOOVE to head up to Green Bay (from Racine) for this show! Can’t even decide who I want to hear the most — they’re mostly all faves of mine!! Ingrid. No, Death Cab. Wait . . . maybe the Bens. Aah! I’m actually having a hard time believing such a great group of artists would grace Wisconsin all at once. So, please pick me. It’s been ages since the hubs and I have been able to sneak off for a decent date, and this one would be perfect!
