Debonné Vineyards - a Kickoff to Summer Winery Season

 —  —

Debonné Vineyards, 7840 Doty Rd, Madison, OH 44057

Kick off your 2026 Ohio Vineyard season with Nooch at Debonné Vineyards. Debonné is located in the heart of the Grand River Valley AVA (American Viticultural Area). The region stretches 2 miles from the center of the scenic Grand River from the mouth of the river in Fairport Harbor to Rt. 45 in Saybrook, within 14 miles inland of the shore of Lake Erie. The growing climate is unique within the larger Lake Erie AVA due to unique benefits of the lake’s thermal protection from temperature fluctuations and unique air drainage that provides frost protection within the valley. Viticulture has thrived in this region. The unique terroir and ideal growing conditions are the basis of the world-class wines produced at Debonné Vineyards.

Not a wine drinker, no problem. Double Wing Brewing Co. is the beer division of Debonné Vineyards. Quality craft beers, made in our onsite brewing facility. The beer bar inside the winery at Debonné Vineyards features 12 taps with signature Double Wing brews and seasonal selections that vary. Our nitro tap is available for smooth, creamy Imperial Stout. The beer bar offers Double Wing Beers by the pint, pitcher and sample, as well as beer tasting flights to find your favorite brew. Numerous options are available to take home your favorites: growler fills, fresh-poured 32oz carryout cans sealed with our Crowler machine and a fully-stocked carry-out cooler with an assortment of Double Wing products in 12 & 16oz cans.

BANDS

Opener starting at 12 noon Nooch: This dynamic multi‑genre quartet hails from Northeast Ohio. They are known for instrumental takes on rock, funk, and fusion. They play everything from creative covers to their own originals, putting their creative spin on whatever they play.

Special Guest Deuce n’ a Quarter: They are a powerful blend of traditional and modern blues, delivered . Front‑man Brian Peters elevates their sound with award‑winning harmonica work, earning the Lee Oskar Best Harmonica Player award as the band reached the 2023 International Blues Challenge finals. Known for dynamic, crowd‑connecting live performances, they consistently impress audiences and continue to rise as one of today’s standout blues bands.

Headliners The Shootouts: They are a refreshing and vibrant blend of classic honky‑tonk, Western swing, and traditional country. Onstage, the band shines bright—their live shows are upbeat, polished, and full of personality, turning every performance into a celebration of true Americana. The Shootouts are a must see country band that Rolling Stone says they have the “perfect Rust Belt country”.

FOOD and DRINK

We are very fortunate to have The Island Grind on site, with not only signature coffee and lemonade drinks, but also a selection of homemade snacks, small plates and sandwiches. Two food trucks will be visiting Middle Bass for the fest on July 11th. Blowing Smoke BBQ will be making their mouthwatering BBQ the star of the show. They are known for their pulled pork, but their pulled chicken, mac & cheese burnt ends or trucker beans will not disappoint. Big Daddy’s Sausage House & More is a standout Ohio food truck serving hearty, flavor‑packed sausage creations, along with unbelievably savory comfort foods. Don’t miss the fried bologna or a chili dog with fresh cut fries. We are very excited that Yellow Springs Brewery will be joining us this year (more to come on their Middle Bass Island connection!). They offer a diverse and consistently praised beer lineup, blending creativity with drinkability. A must try! Wines will be available from Heineman’s Winery, Ohio’s oldest family‑owned and operated winery, which are made from grapes grown on South Bass. Heineman’s wines are beloved for their freshness, sweetness, and strong sense of place, offering an authentic island-grown taste you won’t find elsewhere.

MORE ABOUT HISTORIC LONZ WINERY AND FERRY INFORMATION n the 1850s, the Lake Erie islands were used for grape production, giving them their nickname, "wine islands." The Lonz Winery on Middle Bass Island has been a familiar landmark since the early 20th century. After the winery closed, the state purchased the complex and transformed it into Middle Bass Island State Park in 2001.

In 2024, the historic Lonz Mansion underwent a remarkable restoration and is open for overnight stays. Guests can immerse themselves in the rich history of the Lonz family and their iconic winery by exploring the self-guided tour on the first floor. The second floor provides a unique opportunity for visitors to stay overnight in a piece of Ohio’s history while enjoying the island’s natural beauty. Book your stay now.

The park grounds feature undeveloped natural areas, including wetlands, woodlands, glacial grooves, and Lake Erie shoreline. Visitors can also see the shell of the historic Lonz Winery and enjoy the convenience of a full-service marina with a Harbormaster building.

Access to the park is via boat or ferry. The park is staffed and marina and concessions are open generally from May 1 to October 15, longer if weather and ferry availability allows.

Nooch returns to Cuy Falls at CBG

 —  —

Chestnut Beer Garden, 503 Chestnut Blvd, Cuyahoga Falls, OH 44221

Join Nooch at what proprietor Michael Owens (also owner of Jenks 1929) likes to call his new dive bar. As the summer starts to wind down, we plan to play outback at CBG's "micro stage" (weather permitting...otherwise indoors) . Now refurbished with a hip artsy feel, Owens kept the bones of the original neighborhood bar that many CF natives would probably say "oh I ya remember having a beer at that place." Whether a CF native or not, join us for some retro brand beers with great Savory Rock, Funk & Fusion from Nooch.

Nooch loved last fall's gig at 8th Day Brewing so much we asked for a second date. Join us for great beer, delicious food from Sirna's (delivered from across the street), and Nooch's Savory Rock, Funk and Fusion. We will probably be in-doors, but with Ohio's weather lately...maybe we will have one of those awesome fall days and be able to play outdoors.

Band Member Bios

(Left to Right)

Bass - Ron Gero is an entrepreneur and the newest member of Nooch who rejoined the music scene as an Act II after playing rock in his younger years at many of the northeast's local clubs.  Ron plays in several area bands with vastly different genres and uses his spirited approach to 5-string bass to add meaningful depth to Nooch's tunes.  Ron also is our Venue Booking Contact.  

Guitar - Earl Clausson is a mechanical engineer by day and a striving guitarist as time permits.  Appreciative of a wide variety of styles, he has found himself drawn primarily to instrumental music.  In addition to being a co-founder of Nooch, Earl may occasionally be found playing surf rock in a couple other bands.  He aspires to have his guitar playing considered “not too shabby.”

Drums - Paul Feezel is a former IT management guy who has played many genres over his 5 decades of drumming in various bands.  From big band to British invasion and from Harry Chapin to classic rock... Paul always considered himself a "back beat drummer," until co-founding Nooch with Earl.  Now he has the opportunity to bring some funk and grit to the band’s fusion sound.

Keys - Mike Golden hails  from the NYC area where he played almost every type of music while gigging in the highly competitive "wedding band" circuit.  Decades of Top 40 hits,  jazz, rock and traditional ethnic wedding songs give Mike a huge pallet of styles and techniques to apply to Nooch originals and covers.  As a highly skilled IT professional, Mike is also the band's technical leader managing all of  Nooch's state of the art sound systems.
