These are a few of our favorite things...

• Taylor Guitars
  Jonnie and Christopher exclusively play Taylor acoustic guitars. You should too.
• Elixir Guitar Strings
  The best guitar strings on the planet.
• What the hell is that drum Cousin Sean plays?
  It's called a djembe ("jem-bay"), it is an african drum, and it is awesome. According to the Bamana people in Mali, it's name means to "gather together in peace". We think it allows people to gather together in appreciation of Superior Acoustic Powerpop.
• QSC Audio Products
  Bockenplautz perform through a QSC K-10 PA system, and it sounds incredible. Thanks to the nice people at QSC for making it for us.
• Mackie Mixers
  On stage mixer with built in effects, this thing rocks.
• Best Place at the Historic Pabst Brewery
  Original reception hall for the historic Pabst Brewery in downtown Milwaukee, WI. This beautiful building features authentic Milwaukee ambience, great beer, and awesome people. One of our favorite places to play.
• Club Garibaldi
  One of the very best small rock clubs in MKE, and the best wings in town.
• Nutone Studios
  Downtown MKE recording studio where we mastered our live CD, "Sound of the Gusto" in 2013. Many thanks to Jeff Hamilton for his able assistance!
• Door County, Wisconsin
  The best thumb-shaped county in all the land. We're proud to say that we've toured there every summer since 2013!
