MMAD! Presents Webb Wilder, Hi-Fi Comets, and Mane Thompson
Our Featured Charity is the Aldo Leopold Nature Center
Webb Wilder
Webb Wilder was “Americana” before it had a name, and is bonafide Roots Rock Royalty. Webb is coming back to the Bur Oak in Madison and will be promoting his new Album Hillbilly Speedball, his first new album in five long years!
Hi-Fi Comets
Firing up their own intense combination of old school rhythm and blues, rockabilly, soul and blues, the Hi-Fi Comets celebrate American music with big sounds – booming upright bass, incendiary reverb-driven guitar, propulsive, swinging drums, and soaring vocals. The Hi-Fi Comets are Southern Wisconsin’s premier rockin’ and rollin’ rhythm and blues power trio.
Mane Thompson
Mane Thompson is an aspiring 8th grade student at Spring Harbor Middle School in Madison. He made a big splash in Madison’s summer festival scene last year (2024). He won the middle school karaoke contest at La Fete de Marquette which then allowed him to kick off the main stage at the Willy Street Festival. When he’s not doing school work or practicing his singing, Mane hosts a weekly radio show at the Lussier Center on community station WWMV/FM 95.5 from 7-7:30pm on Tuesdays.
“…thank you for your very generous donation to the Mama Cares Anniversary Fund Raiser. We raised enough money to fund the program for another year. This is in no small part thanks to Music Makes A Difference!”
“We could not have been more honored to be the chosen non-profit of the Music Makes a Difference event on January 24th. With the donation we received from the event, we are able to support one of our youth for 12 weeks of employment. These are the donations that allow us to continue to grow the number of youth we reach in the community. Thank you to Music Makes a Difference for your efforts to bring community together to enjoy music and be part of the great good in the world!.”
“You guys rock- literally and figuratively! Thank you for this wonderful gift, we’re honored.”
“MMAD is an awesome group who supports live music and local charities by hosting great live music events. I LOVE THEIR SHOWS!!”
