Var Gallery Presents: Augie Dougherty & Billy Bronsted

Billy Bronsted is a humble man from the Northwoods with a voice that fills the room and a smile that warms the heart. His midwestern kindness shines through in his sincere performances. If you’re scouring the pines, you may find Billy helping his family and friends build shelter, or hanging out in the swamp-side cabin he built while contemplating the nature of our existence. Most days, you’ll find him walking his dog before hitting the road to tell a few heartfelt stories. Billy Bronsted’s music is here to stay, keeping the Northwoods alive with the tradition of honest songwriting and seasoned guitar pickin’.

Augie Dougherty is a purely Wisconsin man and composer of folk, bluegrass, and country songs. His goal is to make you laugh, cry, and think about why. You'll often find him playing the banjo in Armchair Boogie or sitting in the woods trying to figure it all out. Either way, he's just doing what he loves.
