Middleton
A suburb in the Madison area
Middleton's outdoor summer music scene runs casual, comfortable, and generally free. The suburb leans toward al-fresco listening, with three of its four venues putting performers outside when the weather holds. Capital Brewery & Bier Garten is open May through October and often hosts live music, typically drawing over 1,500 patrons on Fridays. The outdoor stage sits under a waterproof tent with bar and picnic tables, accommodating up to 1,200 people. The venue goes by "Middleton's Backyard." Hidden Cave Cidery offers live music most Saturday nights year-round, moving performers from the indoor tasting room to the outdoor patio when the weather cooperates. Acts range in genre but typically lean toward jazz, bluegrass, folk, and acoustic. There is often no cover charge, and a food truck usually appears the same night. Stone Horse Green hosts the annual Strollin' Middleton Jazz Festival, presented in partnership with the Arts + Literature Laboratory. No verifiable specifics on Louisianne's Etc. could be confirmed from available sources.
