Bounding Main will be performing back in our favorite maritime town, Port Washington, Wisconsin at the amazing Inventors Brewpub.
A couple of years ago, Adam Draeger took the entire space that was once the vendor area for Port Washington Pirate Festival and created the most incredible building. On the west side there is the brewery, on the East side is an amazing restaurant with delicious food and beverages. In between is the Edison Stage that is a wonderful performance and community space!
You will want to arrive early to take in a meal with a view of the marina!
Our show starts at 6:00 PM on the Edison Stage. There will be two 45 minute sets with a break in-between.
Bounding Main has performed often in Port Washington, having been featured at the storied Maritime Heritage Festival, the Port Washington Pirate Festival and Port Washington’s Christmas on the Corner. We are so proud of how much the town has grown and become a captivating Great Lakes destination city!

Bounding Main is delighted to share that we will perform at the famous Two Way Street Coffee House in Downers Grove, Illinois.
About the Two Way Street Coffee House: “The venue is a small, informal room with tables and chairs seating 60 people. We are a “listening room.” Our all-volunteer staff sells coffees, teas and pre-packaged drinks and snacks — no meals and no alcohol. All the drinks and snacks are minimally priced. We also present a community sing around events every month.”
Doors open at 7:30 PM and the show starts at 8:00 PM. There will be two 45 minute sets with a break in-between. Suggested donations for the show are $10.00.
The Two Way Street Coffee House is a small, non-profit, acoustic music coffee house located about 25 miles west of downtown Chicago. The venue has presented shows every Friday night for 53 years (since 1970). It is located in a church building in a downtown business area. Two Way Street receives support from the church as an outreach project in support of community, music and musicians. Otherwise, it functions independently in terms of finances and operations.
The Two Way Street Coffee House concerts are also live streamed for registered guests that wish to attend virtually. The link for virtual donations to these concerts is through their PayPal account. The broadcast can be viewed on their website, their YouTube channel and their Facebook page. You will be able to purchase Bounding Main CDs, challenge coins and 20-year anniversary pins

Bounding Main at Festival du Chant de Marin – Paimpol
Friday – Sunday August 8-10, 2025 10:00 AM – 12:00 AM
Quai d’Honneur de Paimpol, Brittany, France
The province of Brittany considers itself to be the Fourth Celtic Nation, along with Ireland, Scotland and Cornwall. The native language, beyond French, is Breton, and they refer to their home as Breizh. The land and its people have a rich maritime history that is celebrated in song all year around. This festival brings in traditional and contemporary musicians, dancers, entertainers of all kinds, as well as filling the harbor with enough vessels – including tall ships – to walk across it from deck-to-deck! It is a wild, maritime celebration! This year’s special theme is “Destination Quebec”!
