Chapel Sessions

Join us for an intimate, listening room style performance in our amazing St. Rose Chapel. With its natural wood interior, the St. Rose Chapel is the perfect setting for an incredible musical experience. When you attend a show in our chapel you will feel like you are sitting front row in a grand theatre, interacting, laughing, crying and connecting with the performer and your fellow concert attendees. Here at Jennings Holler, we feel that music is one of the most spiritual things we can experience. Music brings people together. It fosters community and we are so happy that we can create a space for everyone to experience the feelings that only music can provide. 

• All Performances in the St. Rose Chapel are 'unplugged' meaning little to no amplification. 
• Space is limited to only 60 church seats, so you must purchase a ticket to sit in the Chapel. 
• October 23rd features a performance from Pete Jive!

When Pete Jive sings, charisma glides out of him and hugs you. Jive's gyrating, crazy legs maneuvers, turn-on-a-dime leaving two nickels syncopated rhythms, and punchy lyrics will heart-imprint you. A Pete Jive performance is an all-in, no one left seated affair, where Jive locks eyes, ears, legs, voice, fingers and rapt attention around his audience. You don't hear a Pete Jive set; you and Pete live through it, together- that's the attuned intimacy Pete delivers to his audience.

Alt-Americana songwriter Brett Newski has been described as a "collision of Highway 61 Bob Dylan & 90s Alternative."

November 13 features a performance from the original duo of Wise Jennings!

For this show, Jeff & Melissa will dust off the old song catalogue to give you a rarely seen duo show, consisting of all the old Wise Jennings classics!

Before Melissa & Jeff purchased the Kettle Moraine Ranch, they had established themselves as a powerful duo in the original music scene here in Wisconsin over the last eight years. In 2024, they decided to pivot creatively to explore more musical ideas, which led to adding two more members to their band Wise Jennings. If a band had a mission statement, theirs would be "Keep It Interesting." They incorporate rock and roll, funk, soul and gospel into their usual quirky manner of songwriting. They still pull a few songs from their old catalogue that included five albums but have written mostly new material for this project, and have also released new music with the full band recently. Wise Jennings are the folks behind Wise Farm Productions which brings you annual events like Feed Your Head fest, Wise Fest, and the German Bluegrass Christmas Market are the proud new owners of Jennings Holler at the Kettle Moraine Ranch.
