Welcome to the online
home of Kenosha's #1 Community Festival. SouthFest is the only
festival in Kenosha of its size that is inspired and controlled
by members of the community. SouthFest began in 2006 as an
effort to strengthen the bonds between neighbors and the
community at large. It is well known that a community with a
strong sense of pride and active citizenry is less likely to
fall victim to crime and blight.
Funds raised beyond
the cost of operating the festival are used to support the
operations of the Kenosha Progress Fund and the numerous
projects and programs that it supports. While you are visiting us
today, please consider making an affordable donation to help us
continue making SouthFest a Kenosha tradition.

Click
here to hear a few songs by the Karlz
You can
forget what you’ve heard about any of these trendy new guitarist
/drummer duos such as The White Stripes, The Raveonettes and The
Black Keys. |
|
That’s
because there’s a new twosome in town known as The Karlz. And
these two veteran musicians are guaranteed to raise the roof off
your club or next event. The Karlz consist of
vocalist/guitarist Todd Bowie and drummer Doug Corel la. One of
the duo’s primary goals is not to win anyone over with their own
material (which they certainly have plenty of), but rather
instead to play rousing, energetic cover versions of songs both
old and new that appeal to a vast audience.
Between
the two they’ve toured around the world with the likes of The
Eagles,
Fleetwood Mac, Beck, The Flaming Lips and the Verve Pipe. |

Vertigo USA |
 |
Vertigo USA is an incredible live tribute to U2. In sight and
sound, Vertigo recreates the magic that is a U2 concert. The
attention to detail is well beyond what most people expect. Much
like The Beatles tribute acts that perform with costumes
representing the various eras of The Beatles' career, Vertigo
has taken the same approach with their tribute to U2. |
A Vertigo concert borders on a Broadway production. Onstage you
will see much of the same musical equipment U2 uses to create
their signature sound, as well as costumes, backdrops, and
special effect lighting. Some shows at larger venues have
included video production and a belly dancer taking the tribute
show to new heights. A typical Vertigo concert will have the
audience singing along to hits such as "With Or Without You,"
"Where The Streets Have No Name," "One," "Beautiful Day," and
many other anthems spanning the U2 catalog. From "Boy" to "How
To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb," Vertigo has it covered. |
