About this event
Rock for the Rescue is a benefit concert at Union Congregational Church in Three Lakes, in the Northwoods near Minocqua. The Iron River, Michigan band Whispering Donkey plays classic rock built on original songs with positive messages. The music supports Avian Oasis Rescue and Rehabilitation, a bird sanctuary in Sugar Camp.
Who's playing
Whispering Donkey is a four-member classic rock band from Iron River, Michigan, formed in early 2023. Its leader, Ken Stilley, writes the band's original songs and says he likes to work in positive messages and wholesome themes. Tunes like "Teach Me to Fly," about getting through hard times, and "City Boy with a Country Heart" show the country side of the band's sound.
What to expect
A afternoon of rock played by a four-piece band, with the focus on original material rather than covers. The room is a small congregation's church in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest country, not a bar, so expect a listening crowd. The mood is relaxed and community-minded.
Why go
The reason to come is the cause. The concert benefits Avian Oasis Rescue and Rehabilitation, a nonprofit bird sanctuary in Sugar Camp. Union Congregational is a small church that has long backed local causes, including the Three Lakes Christian Food Pantry, so it is a fitting place for a benefit show.
