Spring break was a riot! Sure, we didn't jet off to some fancy beach resort, but who needs that when you can spend quality time learning new songs and untangling guitar strings? We're now primed and ready for a summer.
Get ready, Madison and Milwaukee area — our schedule's packed. Highlights: Brat Fest, Saturday, May 25th, 5:45 PM on The Main Stage (with a bonus performance by Quiet Riot at 7 PM!). Then mark your calendars for the Wisconsin State Fair on Sunday, August 11th at 2 PM, followed by a stop at the Iowa County Fair on August 31st at 8 PM. And, there are lots of stops in between!
We are the Big Little Band from Barneveld. And remember, good times always happen at a Power Take Off show!
Scotty Tyce and Power Take Off
The Big Little Band from Barneveld, WI
Scotty Tyce and Power Take Off (PTO) pull together an eclectic mix of country, rock and blues music. The positive, let’s have fun vibe comes from familiar, well-known Madison area musicians who started working together in 2019. Since then, the group has been joined by lead singer Scotty Tyce’s son, Ayden on drums, following in his dad’s Converse sneaks at just 16 years old.
In addition to their original songs, PTO’s show is packed with a nostalgic, multi-genre mix of songs: rocked-up Ronnie Milsap, Don Williams, and John Denver, along with Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty and John Mellencamp. Their original music is creative and catchy. Their show is a high energy sing-a-long!
In 2022, PTO released a four-song, digital collection titled, Keep Truckin’, that can be found nationally on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, etc. For every download of the lead single, Keep Truckin’, the band donates proceeds to support the educational opportunities for kids participating in Wisconsin 4-H. The band just finished their first, full length studio album that will release Fall 2023.
PTO PROUD!
Time to meet these musical mental giants.
