Arnolds Park, IA — August 5, 2025 — Wrap up your weekend lakeside with The Whiskies, performing live at Mullets Okoboji from 8:00 PM to midnight on Saturday, August 16. Known for acoustic energy, sharp harmonies, and songs that span genres, this band delivers a polished yet inviting summer night show.
About the Artist
The Whiskies are a Twin Cities–based acoustic band led by Dave Phipps (vocals, rhythm guitar) and Scott Anderson (lead guitar, vocals). They formed in 2011 and merge rock, blues, pop, and current country into layered arrangements with two- to four-part harmonies. Their full-band shows often include fiddle, saxophone, percussion, or bass for a richer sound while remaining firmly rooted in acoustic precision and audience connection.
They’re a Midwest favorite, frequently bringing energy and strong vocals to venues across Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.
Acoustic Energy Meets Lakeside Warmth
Saturday evenings at Mullets blend the casual energy of a sunset with the promise of live music. The Whiskies deliver acoustic-driven moments that feel immediate and real, music you can converse with or let move you.
Typical set experience includes:
- Crisp acoustic guitar and strong vocal harmonies
- Genre-spanning selections from rock, pop, blues, and country
- Engaging interaction through requests and song introductions
- A full-band sound that never overpowers lakeside conversation
Their experience and sound quality elevate the evening into something both vibrant and approachable.
Five Reasons This Saturday Night Stands Out
Set yourself up for a memorable evening with music and ambience in sync:
- High-energy acoustic parties grounded in vocal harmony
- Four-hour performance for full immersion in the night
- Dining and dancing space on the pet-friendly patio
- Food and drink pacing that matches the setlist tempo
- A night that feels social, spontaneous, and connected
This is a community night shaped by shared music, movement, and scenic views.
