Door County’s historic White Gull Inn will be the venue for a concert by the popular Chicago-based bluegrass group The Special Consensus Wednesday, April 28th. Fans can combine the concert with a special prix fixe dinner and even an overnight stay.

The Special Consensus has been touring the US and internationally. It has appeared on The Nashville Network “Fire On The Mountain” show, toured for three seasons as 4/5 of the cast in the musical Cotton Patch Gospel (music and lyrics by Harry Chapin), and released fourteen recordings.

The Special Consensus repertoire features original compositions by band members and professional songwriters (such as “Dusk ‘Til Dawn” and “Margarita Breakdown”). The repertoire also includes traditional bluegrass standards (songs by Bill Monroe, Flatt and Scruggs, etc.) and songs by artists from other musical genres (such as “Blue Skies” by Irving Berlin).

Tickets for the 8pm show are $15. An optional Pre-concert Dinner served at 6 PM will feature Chicken Marsala with shitake mushrooms, green onions, and linguine, garlic herb Focaccia, spring greens salad, rhubarb torte for dessert.  Fixed price is $18.95.

Several room packages are available for concert goers who would like to linger in Fish Creek.  These include a Spring two-night package (includes a free dinner) and a three-nights-for-the-price-of-two package.  For those who can only stay the night of the concert, The White Gull Inn offers a special package which includes two free tickets to the concert with a one night stay.

To buy concert tickets, make dinner reservations or take advantage of one of the room packages, call the White Gull Inn  toll free at 800-624-1987. Orders are taken daily between 7:30 AM and 8:30 PM.

Editor’s Note: The Special Consensus will also be playing at Folklore Village in Dodgeville April 30, starting at 7:30 PM. More information here.
