It is a short list of performers who at 70 years old can command a stage for two sets and 30 songs without a backing band, as Kris Kristofferson did at The Pabst Theater on Tuesday night. Then again Kristofferson was never average at anything. Former Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart (right) isn't one to sit around and watch TV.
His new band, Rhythm Devils, which also features former Dead percussionist Bill Kreutzmann, will headline a show Wednesday night at the Riverside Theater. Milwaukee's Marcella plays live on WMSE at 7:30 p.m.
on Wednesday, Oct. 25 before its album release party on Friday, Oct. 27 at the BBC.
The album release party features a live performance by Marcella, with Bryan Cherry and Dave Tamkin opening. Oct. 20, 2006 While she had ?
Pure Imagination? on her first CD, Ellen Winters lets Milwaukee in on her ?Secret of Life?
with her second. Winters recently left her day job to dedicate herself fully to her music. At the age of 26, Grammy Award-winning violinist Hilary Hahn is one of the most compelling artists on the international concert circuit.
Beginning Thursday, she?s back in Milwaukee for a weekend appearance with The Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra. From the time Lindsey Buckingham walked on The Pabst Theater stage and finger-picked the arpeggio opening to ?
Not Too Late? from his new album ?Under the Skin,?
his audience was hooked. Giving "Gold Star," the new disc by Peter Buffett -- who is best known for his award-winning, mostly instrumental movie scores -- a spin, we were suprised to hear him singing pop songs!!
Willy Porter, Ian Anderson, Peter Buffett and more. It's all here in the OnMilwaukee.com weekly music update.
Check it out the weekly podcast with Bobby Tanzilo and Brent Gohde. Ian Anderson resurrected the classic rock band Jethro Tull Sunday night at The Pabst Theater, leaving a packed house gasping for breath and transporting them back to the days when Richard Nixon was president. 30 Seconds To Mars has arrived on the scene in a big way.
The band's critically acclaimed second album, "A Beautiful Lie," recently went gold, the video for "The Kill" won an MTV Video Music Award, and the group has avoided being labeled a Hollywood side project. It?s been 14 years since Lindsey Buckingham released his last album, ?
Out of the Cradle.? Perhaps if he had spent another year working on his new one, the aptly named ?
Under the Skin,? he might have come up with a more coherent, listenable work. Ethan Keller has been jazz/funk/groove staple in Milwaukee for years and his solo debut, "Face Light," is an optimistic and funk-filled ride through poetic exploration, religious inquiry and meandering guitars.
As the McCoy Tyner Trio, Tyner and his sidemen, Charnett Moffett on bass and Eric Kamau Gravatt on drums, the band performed an 80-minute set -? replete with two encores including one after the houselights had already been turned on ?- that left the audience exhilarated and ready for more.
Blues-rocker Patrick Sweaney has seen a lot in his 32 years. He's been playing, writing and recording music since he was a teenager. He's met and played some of his musical heroes like bluesman Andy Cohen and producer Dan Auerbach.
