The Door County Cherry Pickers perform today in Cedar River

THE DOOR COUNTY Cherry Pickers play today at Hirsch’s Cedar River Pub. Members of the band include, from left, Pete Evans, Ken Stillman, Karen Stillman, Terry Murphy and John Rood Lewis.

CEDAR RIVER — The Door County Cherry Pickers will perform from 3 to 7 p.m. Eastern time today at Hirsch’s Cedar River Pub.

Karen and Ken Stillman recall all the outrageous fun they had playing foot-stomping bluegrass for standing-room-only crowds in Cedar River.

The Stillmans, original members of Menominee’s popular Thunder Mountain Bluegrass Band, carry on the tradition with The Door County Cherry Pickers, a five-piece band of incredibly skilled, good-time musicians.

John Rood Lewis is a monster maestro guitar player, singer and recording artist. Terry Murphy is a seasoned guitar player, singer and a prolific songwriter, with six CDs of original songs to his credit. Pete Evans, a child prodigy bluegrass mandolin player, is hugely creative and dynamic. Add Ken Stillman’s awesome fiddle playing and Karen Stillman’s unbridled singing and standup bass slapping and you’ve got a hot band.

The band will offer vintage American music, cherry-picked bluegrass, country and rock favorites — the same kind of down-home music from the great ol’ days.

On Saturday, Alamo Jack will play a variety of music, from country to rock, from 4 to 8 p.m.

On Sunday, Matt Johnson will show his talented guitar picking from 4 to 8 p.m. in the dining room.

The Door County Cherry Pickers will be back at Hirsch’s Cedar River Pub from 2 to 6 p.m. Eastern time Sunday, July 21.
