There are a few things you’ll come to realize after seeing Brad Emanuel perform at Otto’s Beer and Brat Garden in Minocqua, Wisconsin on any given Tuesday or Sunday night performance: 1. There are a lot of people in this world that know every single word to “Wagon Wheel” by Old Crow Medicine Show; 2. There are also a lot of people in this world that are quite tone deaf, but that doesn’t stop them from singing/yelling along to classic hits at the top of their lungs; 3. “Get ‘em up, get ‘em get ‘em up! 3, 2, 1… Drink!” is a dangerous cheer (as initiated by Brad every two songs) to repeatedly follow orders on; 4. It’s ok to dance on tables that, in only a few short hours, will be occupied by (seated) families enjoying a lunchtime brat; 5. Brad Emanuel, locally celebrated acoustic guitar player and singer from the northern Wisconsin region, knows how to bring the house down with just his guitar, his voice, and a unique proclivity to make audience members drink “just a few” beers. Brad Emanuel, his set consisting of upbeat and exciting covers of pop hits and classic rock anthems, is a mainstay in the music and nightlife scene of Minocqua, Wisconsin. Beloved by locals, season camp counselors, lodge staff and annual vacationers from across the country, Brad knows how to get the lake-goers dancing on table tops, arm in arm, singing along to everything from “Hey Soul Sister” by Train to “The Weight” by The Band. Perfectly paired with a local Wisconsin beer (New Glarus’ Spotted Cow!) and summer pals, Brad’s show provides the backdrop for those July nights you won’t soon forget. So come to Otto’s Brat and Beer Garden in Minocqua with a few friends, make some new nighttime comrades while singing the lyrics to “Wagon Wheel,” and learn what all the hype is about way up north in the land of the pines.
