About the Artist
The Whiskies are a Minnesota-based acoustic band known for their versatile arrangements and genre-spanning covers. Their sound mixes rock, country, blues, and pop with a heavy emphasis on layered harmonies and acoustic instrumentation. Whether performing as a duo or full band, they bring charisma and a polished, high-energy presence to every show.
Originally formed in the Twin Cities, the band includes Dave Phipps on rhythm guitar and lead vocals, Scott Anderson on lead guitar, and additional members Scott Maleska and Mark Prior rounding out the full band on bass, fiddle, saxophone, and percussion. Their collaborative performances are both musically tight and playfully interactive, making them a favorite at Midwest venues and lakeside destinations.
Friday Nights Come Alive at the Lake
As twilight deepens over Lake Okoboji, Mullets shifts into a new gear. The patio stays warm with conversation, the lights glow a little brighter, and the energy builds with every song. It’s the kind of night that invites you to stay out longer, sip something stronger, and let the music carry you past sunset.
The Whiskies bring just the right sound to match the mood. Rhythmic, acoustic, and effortlessly alive, their harmonies ride the breeze, their guitars pulse through the crowd, and suddenly, Friday night feels wide open.
Signature Drinks That Set the Tone
The Whiskies aren’t the only thing turning up the volume on Friday night. Mullets’ bar team keeps the energy high with a drink menu built for good times and lakeside lounging.
- Loaded Bloody Marys – These act as conversation starters, stacked with bacon, pickled asparagus, celery, cheese, and meat sticks.
- Mimosa and Margarita Flights – A sampler of fresh summer flavors, from blood orange to mango and jalapeño, perfect for sharing or sipping solo.
- IV Bag Cocktails – Bright, bold, and a little unexpected. Choose from cherry, blue raspberry, or orange served in photo-ready IV bags.
- Espresso Martinis and Sara Strong – Whether you’re staying sharp or winding down, these drinks bring richness, energy, and a little extra character.
- To-Go Options – Take the Mullets experience home with their Bloody Mary kits or a bottle of house-made vodka.
Whether you’re kicking back on the patio or leaning in at the bar, the drinks are every bit as memorable as the music.
