The Chris Johnson Band

I was fortunate enough to have played on the HD 105th Annv. gig in Milwaukee over Labor Day weekend.  We played the Miller Lite stage at the Summerfest grounds.  I’ve played quite a few shows on this stage – it’s really a nice facility.  Anyway, we opened for Rev Theory, Joan Jett, Blue Oyster Cult and Peter Frampton (headliner).

What a great day for a show!  The weather was clear and warm – maybe too warm.  The stage is painted black, and facing east towards the lake.   Temperature on stage must have been ~95 degrees.  We played a 2 hour set, and I remembered that it’s really important to keep hydrated!

Riders came from all over the world for this event, which showcases the city of Milwaukee and the surrounds of Wisconsin.  I was happy to get to perform at this world class event!
