Summerfest Picks: Drew Olson
For some Milwaukeeans, bashing the music lineup at Summerfest is as much a part of summer as beer, brats and Bob Uecker. With a minimum amount of effort, though, you can find acts that fit your tastes. The Dropkick Murphys and bass player Ken Casey (pictured) will bring incredible energy to their show June 26 at the Harley-Davidson Roadhouse and Elvis Costello will bring the Big Gig to a regal finish with a closing-night show at the Classic Rock Stage.

In 1996, Duncan Sheik's single, "Barely Breathing," soared on the charts for months. Since then, the educated and talented Buddhist has dabbled into a variety of musical genres. In this interview, OMC gets personal with Sheik, and asks a plethora of questions including whether or not he's related to the condom dynasty of the same name.
