The Brew City Rockers started in 1993 after Incoming disbanded and Vince Misia, Rod Kleist, and Jim Fuchs decided to form a new band and brought Russ Zanow, former drummer for The Repeaters, into the mix. Along with Dennis Dostel on rhythm guitar, the band was soon playing clubs and parties. After a year, Dennis left to pursue his true passion, folk music, and Russ was offered a chance to advance his career, but it would take him to second shift. As luck would have it, the Greater Milwaukee Spectacular had recently disbanded and Jeff Knueppel was available and looking for a band! (Check out the Mullet!! at left) With Jeff came a new rhythn guitar player in Rodney "Royal" Frankovis. With the new line up in place the band took off! Soon the band was playing non-stop with regular gigs at The Music Box, Truman's, Nick's Nicabob, The Hop, and numerous other venues throughout Southeastern Wisconsin. The band also made frequent appearances at festivals throughout the state and Milwaukee area, including St. Stephen's, St. Gregory the Great, St. Florians, the SouthShore Waterfrolics and others. The keystone of the band's success was their tight harmonies and fun style, which made them a hit with their audiences. Over the years, the bands line up changed, but in 2005, fate brought Vince, Jeff, Rod, and Jim back together and the magic was renewed. With the addition of Paul "Buddy" Wobbe on rhythm and keys The Brew City Rockers were back. Early in 2006 while playing a gig at Bonnie And Clydes in waterford, a stunning brunette asked if she could sing a Patsy Cline song. After wowing the crowd and the band, Jill was asked to join the band and make us jamokes look good! Surprisingly she accepted! The following week, Pat Heagney joined the band on sax and keys, filling out the band and giving us the extra boost we needed to go to the next step. As fate would have it, over the last few years the band's line up has changed again. Early in 2009, Rod took a new position with his employer and he had to step down, Vince's doctor gave him a choice of the band or the job, Paul stepped down to spend more time with his family and helping to raise his granddaughter, and Pat left the band to devote more time to his family and shuttling his daughter for soccer. This opened the door for the band to bring back two former members and bring in a new male vocalist. Coming back to the Rockers are Steve "Hawkeye" Hennig on lead guitar and his brother "Mercury" Mike on keys. The brothers bring a strong musical background and an added dimension and direction to the band. And "Dancin" Darren Reiner, brings his great vocals and high energy performance style to the band. And the interaction between Jill and Darren is incomparable!
