High Noon Saloon

Best show I have seen in a long time. Will Hoge and his band were AWESOME. His stage presences and crowd interaction was beautiful. One of the most underrated singer-songwriters of our time. Some day I hope he gets hos dues. High Marks for High Noon Saloon as well. The staff was wonderful and the song was great, crisp and very clear. I was a little disappointed in the crowd size but, as Will joked, it was a Monday night. I guess a plus for us as we stood 10 yards and dead center to Mr. Hoge. PS. Great eating place connected to HNS, The Brass Ring. Excellent food and great bartenders. Will sat at the bar, 10 feet from us and was too star struck to get a picture. Next time. I will see Will as often as I can. Great time. Thanks Mr. Hoge. Keep up the great work. Can't wait to hear the new album.

There’s not one thing that could’ve made this show better. Scott Terry of Red Wanting Blue opened for Will. Maybe they could’ve played a couple songs together. Will Hoge brought amazing energy and showmanship to the stage. He engaged the whole audience. It was crazy to have that much fun on a Monday night. The sound was excellent…perfect in every way. We danced and sang along, we laughed and felt that collective feeling of belonging and having our souls quenched again. Will Hoge, I will see you whenever I’m able. Thank you for the music!

Not what I expected to hear, it was super nonstop beyond rock a billie energy. Great show, so much high energy, Hoping they would have played a fewer show stuff from their catalog like “Beans and Rice” but hey that’s not a bar song.

Jada Brown is a name quickly gaining momentum in the world of contemporary soul, hip-hop, and R&B. With a voice that blends velvet-smooth tones with raw emotional power, she brings an authenticity that stands out in a crowded genre. Her music feels like a seamless blend of old-school soul with modern hip-hop rhythms and R&B polish. What sets Jada apart is her ability to craft songs that are both deeply personal and universally relatable. Her lyrics speak of resilience, love, and identity with an honesty that resonates. Tracks like Validation, First Steps and Travis' Theme showcase her lyrical dexterity and ability to shift effortlessly between singing and rapping, making each verse hit with impact. Musically, Jada Brown’s production is lush and layered, often featuring instrumentation, soulful harmonies, and beats that nod to both classic 90s R&B and today’s more experimental hip-hop landscape. In her live performances, Jada commands the stage with quiet confidence and magnetic presence. Her connection to the audience feels genuine, and her vocal control live is as impressive as on record—a rare feat. In short, Jada Brown is not just an artist to watch; she’s an artist to experience. Her work is a testament to the power of genre-blending music that’s rich in soul and rooted in truth.

An old soul with so many new tales to tell. That's Jada Brown. Jada confidently took control of the High Noon crowd with her experienced, accessible voice and a commanding but comforting presence. Every song told a heartfelt (at times, heart-wrenching) story. And every lyric was delivered with soulful longing and restrained urgency. Whether she's effortlessly voicing the rich lows of a sultry R&B tune or skillfully navigating the head-bobbing bounce of hip hop, Jada knows her way around a mic and clearly has what it takes to keep her crowd moving and mesmerized. Bottom line: If Jada Brown comes to your town, be sure to get on up and get down, because the lights are about to get beautifully brighter for this rising star.

Lo-volume, melt-your-face funk, with staggering shredding, unreal tone and fluency on the bass, with about as solid a pocket drummer, just laying in the groove, all combined for next-level epicness in a sweet venue like High Noon. Ten outta ten recommend.

Yam Haus brought all the vibes last night! After being off a year they stormed back on stage on Thursday and delivered an amazing performance that left us wanting more! And Bizzy as the opener delivered a great gift of a high energy set that kick off this outstanding night.

As usual, Greg and group delighted, amazed and performed the most outstanding guitar sets combining this time more blues (new album) than his impossible for anyone else to play blend of rock/jazz/you name it/fusion. He was available before and after the show for free signings, smiles and photos, something Joe Bonamassa - possibly an equal - would never attempt. On a cold Sunday night after a Green Bay Packer playoff loss, Greg made the High Nooners of completely music lovers and probably guitar players feel the best possible with incredible skill and personality. If Greg and group get to your area, DO NOT MISS. You'll talk about it for years. Chuck in Fitchburg

This is a fun annual Black Friday show. We brought some soup for the donation barrels, had some beer, kombucha and root beer and also had a selfie with Andrew Coombs and Michael Gabbidon of the Viceroys! Great tribute set to all Indigenous people. Peace!

Wow Wow Wow. I cannot remember a more entertaining concert. Jason D. Williams opened up, and he was an incredible performer that left most of the audience stunned. Who wants to follow someone that good? Well, Reverend Horton Heat did not disappoint. I don't think I would say he was better, but was such a different style that we left feeling thoroughly entertained. It's a "no-brainer." Do not miss going to see Reverend Horton Heat. I'm sure he gets paid for the shows, but I think he would be out there even if he had to perform for free; the band is having a good time.

Grateful for a world class act coming to a historic venue. The High Noon has had everyone from Dick Dale to Vampire Weekend. Saw one of Mr White’s clients Wanda Jackson there. Probably has never been a show there with more energy and intensity than was seen tonight. Unbelievable.

Both bands were absolutely electrifying and magical. Absolutely would see both Boxing Day and Brigitte Calls Me Baby again!! I've been a fan of BCMB for a few months now and it's always amazing to see a favorite artist so close. Their sound is derivative of many, like the Smiths, New Order, and even some Elvis, but very clearly their own. Their personal style of onstage dress is so unique and fun and makes for great atmosphere. Most importantly, every band member clearly has so much talent and has obviously put in a lot of work. Even if you don't like new wave or genres similar, I recommend seeing BCMB just for the experience of seeing them play so well! As for Boxing Day, they had so much energy!! This band as well has so much talent; my friend noted how well they played together. The drummer and lead singer especially stood out as absolute powerhouses of music. Also, a trumpet?! Rarely see that in indie bands anymore! Vibe is similar to Car Seat Headrest or Neutral Milk Hotel, but again, definitely their own. I look forward to see how these two bands grow and find success!

What an incredibly raw, vulnerable, and energetic depiction of songs, old and new! Jenn was so personable, told jokes, stayed after to chat with fans, and calls out old-age fundamentalism for what it is (judgmental) and demonstrates the essential opposite, an open-heart full of love.🥰 I'd go every week if it was an option just to bask in the Jennifer Knapp vibe of strength.

An amazing show at a nice venue. Danielle Nicole band has always put everything into their performance and this show was no different. I will always support them and hope to visit the High Noon Saloon again.

First time at this venue, and it was terrific. First time seeing Slothrust, and it was such a special show. Became a fan of Weakened Friends this night as well. Looking forward to seeing them all again, and I highly recommend the venue.

The show was very good. Jaime was battling some cold like symptoms, but vowed to give a great performance, and I think they accomplished it. The band was very solid, and I will return next time they play in Madison☮️

He is a fantastic performer, singer, guitar player and a natural frontman! Excellent stage presence and his band is phenomenal as well! Very fun show! Saw him open for Marcus King a while back in Nashville! To see him headline was truly a gift! Especially in a nice small venue!

Excellent band! SO much energy, good banter with audience. Couldn't stop dancing. The band plays many genres and moves so well from one to the other, and his original songs KICK.... The room buzzes with happy and dancing. Will be following Adem and his band from now on!

It was a fun, laid back night. No structured set list made it feel like we were able to watch a personal jam session. The crowd was small, but most seemed to be there to enjoy the show. I think my favorite part of the night may have been Clint Parks accoustic opening. True talent---they sound so good live....no remixing...just amazing talent.

Always a wonderful, fun band to hear and watch. They genuinely look like they are having a blast playing. We’ve been to numerous shows and always look forward to the next. Just wish they played more often!
