Mineral Point Opera House — Attraction in Mineral Point

Went to hear Rucksack Revolution, a spin-off of Dead Horses and Horseshoes & Hand Grenades, on March 16, 2024. As usual, the staff at the Opera House was top notch, and the performance was going great, until the 2nd set. For some reason, Rucksack started tearing down Illinois, and was even saying to a guy in the audience "What, you're from Illinois?" I didn't stick around to hear the rest. First time ever I left during a performance. First time ever, I walked past the merch table (I always support the Indie artists...too much.) As I was crossing back into Illinois, I wondered if Rucksack realized that the St. Patrick's Day corned beef pizza appetizer that I sent to them at Eliza’s was from a guy from IL, and paid for with IL $. Well, Sarah would have, I've talked to her many times, and did just before I sent them the appetizer. The thing is, I have been supporting WI music for many years, in Deerfield, Monroe, Madison, Milwaukee, Stoughton, Stevens Point, Hillsboro, Prairie du Sac, Milton, Janesville, Mineral Point, etc. I have never ran into this, and even outside of music events, haven't heard this for decades. (Obviously, I don't attend sporting events!) So, I will not be hearing Rucksack again, and my next event is hearing the incredible Molly Tuttle, in Illinois!

Saw Hypnotized, a Fleetwood Mac tribute band, here on May 20, 2023. Just WOW! Much better than I had hoped! I posted a pic of their schdule. All are in WI now, but they are at the Kehlm Arboretum in Rockford on Sept. 10th! (Sorry, my phone has not been taking good pics or video.)

Went here for the first time on Nov 2 2022. The staff was very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The opening act was a pleasant surprise, Courtney Hartman from Eau Claire WI. Soft, at times mystical. A...

Absolutely beautiful inside. Loved Mousehole Cat performance! Clean, comfortable, easy to hear performers. We sat in balcony in second row. The children and I found it very difficult to see if ppl in front of you don't sit back in their chair. The smallest ones moved to chairs...
