The Rangers Band

Hosted by Dan Lepien, the first ever "DL's Midwest Country Showcase" begins at The Gobbler Theater in Johnson Creek Wisconsin! Featuring country artists from around the Midwest, this multi-billed show aims to highlight and showcase the Midwest's new stamp on Country music. The first show will headline The Rangers out of NW-Indiana/Chicagoland; a full on, unadulterated, firebrand honky-tonk band blending quick pickin', dynamic rhythms, and deep lyrical ballads. The Rangers have taken their "Midwest Country Roadshow Tour" all over the country, and are continuing to forge ahead with their mission of putting the flyover states on the map for Country Music, their way. Also featuring Central Indiana based artist, Preston Mccabe. A hotshot cowboy singer, embodying the spirit of traditional country music, and western storytelling. Preston brings a genuine and true performance to every stage, drawing on influences from traditional country and his own life on the rodeo circuit. Finally, hosting the show and rippin' that twangy Wisconsin country music is the one and only Dan Lepien and his band! Dan has developed his own unique sound, pulling from the soul of 90's country and keeping it alive and well. His debut album The Honky Tonk Traditional (2025) earned critical acclaim, including an 8/10 rating from ‘Saving Country Music’. He also received ‘Entertainer of the Year’ and ‘Male Vocalist of the Year’ wins at the 2025 Midwest CMO Awards.
