FOR THE KENOSHA NEWS
Kenosha Creative Space will join a group of young local creatives to present a daylong music festival featuring acts from the Kenosha area and beyond.
America’s Rock ‘N’ Roll Circus will run from noon to 11 pm on Saturday in the street in front of the Kenosha Creative Space, 624 57th St., in Downtown Kenosha.
“We’re excited to partner with a great group of organizers and artists to bring this unique event to our downtown,” said Kenosha Creative Space Executive Director Francisco Loyola. “You won’t have heard or seen anything like this in Kenosha this summer, which is what makes Rock ‘N’ Roll Circus a perfect fit for the Kenosha Creative Space and our thriving creative community.”
Positive attention
The event was conceived by Jeremiah Lunde, with the aim of bringing positive attention to Kenosha, as it continues to heal from the difficulties of the last couple of years.

“As an 18-year-old local musician and creative person, I have enjoyed living a busy life filled with engaging projects that I’m passionate about,” Lunde said. “As one of the founders of the Rock ‘N’ Roll Circus, I enjoy working with other young talented musicians working hard to put together this event, and I appreciate the support the Kenosha Creative Space has given us. It’s our goal to help keep growing the creative musical environment in Kenosha”
The lineup of performers includes Lunde’s eponymous band — which performed in Downtown Kenosha with an homage to the Beatles on the Creative Space rooftop in 2021 — as well as indie acts that have attracted attention throughout the Midwest.
Abby Bloxdorf is among other volunteers who worked for the same goal.
“I’m born and raised in Kenosha and think it’s a wonderful city and want people to realize that. I think the circus will be a positive way to show that,” Bloxdorf said.
The music line-up will include:
Marble Teeth: 12:45 to 1:15 pm
Sun Silo: 1:45 to 2:15 pm
Joey Belotti & the Change Machine: 2:45 to 3:15 pm
Claudio Parrone Jr.: 3:45 to 4:30 pm
Deeper: 8:45 to 9:30 pm
The O’My’s: 10 to 11 pm
The headline act, the O’My’s, have over 18 million digital streams and have a long-running collaboration with Chance the Rapper, Lunde noted.
Admission to the event is $20. Tickets may be purchased at the gate or online at https://bit.ly/KenoRockCircus.

To determine the most popular rock ‘n’ roll legends, entertainment data site PrettyFamous ranked each musician and band based on their Musician or Band Score, respectively. This is a weighted average of a musician or band’s Wikipedia page views over the last 30 days, the 30-day Wikipedia page views of the bands they were/are in (in the case of a singular musician), the Wikipedia page views of their releases and the number of followers they have on Spotify. In the case of a tie, the musician or band with the later year of induction was favoured.
One important thing to note is that the ranking favors artists who are popular now, meaning those whose music is still actively listened to on Spotify and who the public continues to look up on the web.
With this in mind, no matter their ranking, it’s safe to say that all of these Hall of Famers and others who weren’t included will continue to influence rock ‘n’ roll for decades to come.
Here’s a look at the top 20.
