Boomtown opened in 2015 with the intent of providing the Wisconsin Dells area with a Country Music bar. Mission accomplished. Years later we're here serving up great Nashville inspired food to a Country Music soundtrack. Also check out our live music schedule! We have great musicians in regularly.
More about the music:
Singer-Songwriter, John Gay’s, gritty contemplative sound ripened in prison while he served a nine-year sentence for marijuana that started in 2011. During his initial confinement of over five years when he wasn’t on his bunk with his bible, John was in a storage closet at Fox Lake Correctional Institution with his guitar writing music, singing and praying.
After his release from initial confinement in 2017 John started performing his solo acoustic set at various venues around southeastern Wisconsin playing original music he wrote in prison along with covers of his favorite artists such as Jason Isbell, The Lumineers, Chris Stapleton and Zach Williams.
John released his first two singles in 2019, Death Row and Concrete Floor. Grappling with loss and redemption these songs typify much of the music he wrote in that time. John is raising money to record an album.
