Live music in a 1967 western town.
Somebody built a western town out here in 1967. Today it's thirty-five acres of saloon, barn, chapel and woods in the Kettle Moraine: bands most weekends, camp-out festivals, and weddings that last the whole weekend.

Don't take our word for it.
“Very inviting, humble venue run by people who truly care about creating a space for people to have a good time. They bring in some incredible bands for a small venue, and are always generous with pricing.”
“Went for the bluegrass Sunday jam. WOW! What a great place! Pickin' buds blew the roof off the saloon. Great drinks and a great atmosphere, and everyone from the staff to the patrons is super nice.”
“We have been to Wise Fest a few times now and this was by far the best experience. You all really have something special going on at the Holler.”

A ranch that turned into a town.
In 1967 Albert Gagliano began turning a turn-of-the-century farm into the western town he'd always pictured. Rodeos, trail rides, scout camps and weddings followed for fifty years. Today it's Jennings Holler, run by people who host festivals for a living.
- The Jackass Saloon: live bands most weekends, a full bar, real food vendors.
- The Buckhorn Barn: 400+ seated for weddings, receptions and ticketed nights.
- Saint Rose Chapel: ceremonies, vow renewals and quiet moments in the woods.
