Great Cats to headline Freedom Fest main stage July 4 in Wisconsin Rapids
Summary
Jeff Ebel of local band Great Cats told Sunup Wisconsin the group will play the Freedom Fest main stage around 6 p.m. on July 4; hosts encouraged attendance and promoted festival attractions and Friends of Rapids Music (FRM).
Jeff Ebel, drummer and vocalist for the Great Cats, told hosts James and Leah that his band will perform on the main stage at Freedom Fest on July 4 around 6 p.m. "It's community. People get out and they're there to have a good time," Ebel said, characterizing local festivals as central places for residents to gather.
Hosts promoted Freedom Fest activities organized with Friends of Rapids Music (FRM), listing yoga classes, a kids zone, Polka Park, food vendors and a bouncy castle. James encouraged listeners to check wirapids.com for exact schedules and to follow FRM and Great Cats on Facebook for updates.
Ebel described the band's musical mix—country-tinged old rock and jump-swing numbers—and said the group has performed for more than 15 years. The segment functioned as event promotion and a short artist profile rather than a formal municipal announcement. The hosts also encouraged festival attendance and community support for local artists.
