“If you’re a fan of the music of the 90’s like I am, you
definitely have to attend the Northern Highlands Music Fest this summer!” said Michael
J. Broderick, Director of Marketing at Lake of the Torches. “Never before has
there been a lineup like this in one place and in one day! The show will be one
of the highlights of the summer for anyone looking for extraordinary
entertainment in the Northwoods, plus the price of the tickets is the best I
have seen anywhere. This is definitely the best value based pricing for a
one-day festival of this magnitude!”
Headlining the festival will be the talented Sugar Ray. The
band formed in 1992 and, after originally calling themselves The Shrinky Dinks,
struck stardom in 1997 with their hit “Fly.” The hit was a sensation on radio
stations across the country and helped their album “Floored” achieve double
platinum status. Sugar Ray followed this success in 1999 with the hits “Every
Morning,” which reached #3 on the Billboard charts and “Someday,” which rose to
#7 on the charts. They later released the popular “When It’s Over.”
Also taking the stage will be the ever-popular Smashmouth.
The band was a national sensation when it hit the charts in 1997 with their
album “Fush Yu Mang” that included the hit “Walking on the Sun” and followed in
1999 with the hit “All Star” that was played in such popular movies as “Shrek”
and “Rat Race.” The band also produced popular cover songs from the classic
bands The Monkees and The Beatles, including “I’m a Believer” and “Getting
Better.”
Rounding out this all star line-up will be the Spin Doctors.
The band shot onto the national music scene in 1991 with their debut album “Pocket
Full of Kryptonite,” which went to triple platinum. This album included the
smash hits “Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong” and “Two Princes.” The also released a
cover of Creedence Clearwater classic “Have You Ever Seen the Rain” that was
featured on the multi-platinum soundtrack for the movie “Philadelphia.”

internationally known DJ and turntablist DJ Mike Relm will be performing the
same mashups and skills he has displayed at festivals and shows like the Blue
Man Group’s How to be a Megastar Tour, the Coachella Music Fest and Bonnaroo.
