Katie Dahl At The White Lilac- December 6
2024-12-06 20:00 - 21:30 | The White Lilac, 5029 6th Ave, Kenosha, WI, 53140, United States
Experience a night with songwriter and playwright Katie Dahl, a fiercely talented artist whose live performances are as heartfelt as they are hilariously candid. Described by *American Songwriter* as a “hearty, soulful voice delivering razor-sharp lyrics,” Dahl brings audiences on a journey through life’s complex terrain—exploring love, loss, family, and identity with a grounded wisdom that’s resonant and real. Audiences find her songs both comforting and thought-provoking, as Peter Mulvey notes, “Katie Dahl brings us a grounded spirit” even in challenging times.
A rising star in folk music, Katie’s newest album, *Seven Stones* (2023), has been hailed as “breathtaking” by *Country Queer* and features collaborations with celebrated artists like Kris Delmhorst and Peter Mulvey. The album, praised for its courageous vulnerability, reflects Dahl’s journey through personal struggles, from anxiety to the challenges of growing up queer. *Seven Stones* spent a month at #2 on the folk radio charts, and *Wildwood* (2019), exploring her family’s Door County roots, hit #6 on the folk charts and has solidified her status as a regional gem with universal appeal.
Don’t miss your chance to witness what *Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel* calls her “rich and expressive alto” in a night of music that is as soul-baring as it is richly entertaining. As JT Nero affirms, “Katie Dahl is the real deal,” capturing the spirit of her Wisconsin heritage with grace, nuance, and grit. With her heartfelt storytelling and infectious humor, Dahl promises an unforgettable night of song and spirit, making this a must-see concert event.

Jake La Botz- December 7
2024-12-07 20:00 - 21:30 | The White Lilac, 5029 6th Ave, Kenosha, WI, 53140, United States
Jake La Botz’s rough and tumble upbringing took him from juvenile delinquency and punk rock to learning blues from the last of Chicago’s pre-war era bluesmen. From there, with guitar in tow, he made his way across the U.S.A. until he hit the end of the line in Hollywood where an improbable acting career began to unfold.
After getting clean from heroin at thirty years old, La Botz became a Buddhist meditation practitioner. He also took his bluesy guitar chops to the Greater Mt. Zion Church in South Central L.A. where he steeped himself in gospel music. Ever since then, La Botz has been putting out his own style of Gospel-noir Americana. The eccentric stories, characters, and underlying spiritual messages often heard in his songs come to a head on his latest album Hair on Fire.
Among more than twenty film and TV credits, La Botz has acted in True Detective, Rambo, and On the Road. His most recent film, D.O.A., stars fellow musician John Doe from the punk band X.
Beyond music and acting, La Botz is also a writer. His debut collection of short fiction is forthcoming from Cornerstone Press in April, 2026. A graphic memoir is also in the works. See the Fiction tab for a complete list of publications.
