I would like to see Oconomowoc becoming a real national center for great live original music. It is already appearing on the radar of many agents and artists, so I think we may be on our way!
In 1972, right out of high school, I got a fateful phone call where I was invited to play keyboards for a rock musical that was being put together in London, England.

Matthew Spransy – Twilight Concerts
I was honored with the opportunity to interview Matthew Spransy, who has had a profound impact on the Lake Country’s music scene over the years. Matthew has been instrumental in bringing together the community, specifically over the love of great music, by creating unique and unforgettable events for locals and opportunities for artists. The impact is so profound, that many would say he has put Oconomowoc ‘on the map’ in the music industry.
What began as a small group playing worship music on Matthew’s porch, soon turned into full porch-concerts for the community, featuring original live music by award-winning artists. These neighborhood events, called “Magic Mansion Concerts on the Porch”, quickly grew and became so popular that a larger venue was needed. Thus, the “Twilight Concerts at Fowler Park” was born. Between organizing the events, Matthew also spends a lot of his time working with and producing local artists and musicians.
It was a pleasure sitting down with Matthew Spransy in person to hear his story. His love and passion for music is evident throughout his life’s journey, and his dedication of bringing the joy he finds in music to the community is inspirational.
I hope you enjoy reading a bit about Matthew’s story as much as I enjoyed this interview. – Jessalyn Rich

Reviews for "Sorcery and Splendor: Exploring the Magic Mansion Oconomowoc"
1. Julia - 1 star
I had high hopes for Magic Mansion Oconomowoc, but unfortunately, it fell flat for me. The house itself was in desperate need of some renovations and maintenance. The decor was outdated and tacky, and the furniture looked like it came straight from a rummage sale. Furthermore, the amenities advertised were a complete letdown. The "swimming pool" was nothing more than a dirty, old bathtub in the backyard, and the "spacious rooms" were cramped and stuffy. Overall, I was extremely disappointed with my stay at Magic Mansion Oconomowoc, and I definitely would not recommend it to anyone.

Magic Mansion Oconomowoc was a huge disappointment for our family vacation. The photos online made it seem like a luxurious and grand property, but in reality, it was outdated and in need of a serious upgrade. The rooms felt cramped and lacked proper ventilation, which made for an uncomfortable stay. Additionally, the amenities were far from what was advertised. The hot tub was broken, and the game room had outdated and malfunctioning equipment. The overall cleanliness of the house was also subpar, with dusty corners and dirty carpets. I would not choose to stay at Magic Mansion Oconomowoc again.

I regret booking a stay at Magic Mansion Oconomowoc. From the moment we walked in, we encountered various issues that made our experience less than pleasant. The plumbing was a disaster, with leaky faucets and barely functioning showers. The beds were uncomfortable and old, and the linens were stained and worn out. Additionally, the noise level from nearby construction was unbearable throughout our stay, making it impossible to relax or enjoy our time at the property. I was extremely dissatisfied with the overall condition of Magic Mansion Oconomowoc and would not recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable vacation.
