"Since Before" is now available and it was worth the wait. The vinyl version is an elaborate package befitting the powerful music inside. We got a chance to ask singer and guitarist Jason Mohr about it. http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/jtarsince.html http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/jtarsince.html?30145 Mon, 21 May 2012 05:03:00 CDT Summerfest officials have announced additional acts that will perform at the new BMO Harris Pavilion. http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/bmopavilionmusic.html http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/bmopavilionmusic.html?30236 Mon, 21 May 2012 05:00:00 CDT The LoveMonkeys have been around for 20 years. John Hauser weighs in as to why. http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/johnhauserlovemonkeys.html http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/johnhauserlovemonkeys.html?30211 Sun, 20 May 2012 09:04:00 CDT Rise Against will perform with Gaslight Anthem and Hot Water Music at the Eagles Ballroom Sunday, Sept. 16. http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/riseagainstrave.html http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/riseagainstrave.html?30225 Fri, 18 May 2012 11:45:00 CDT It's been a sad week for music of all varieties. But here in Milwaukee, it's safe to say we'll miss our own Mark Shurilla the most. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/bobbytanzilo/shurillaappreciation.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/bobbytanzilo/shurillaappreciation.html?30220 Fri, 18 May 2012 08:54:00 CDT The large collective known as the Polyphonic Spree stopped at Turner Hall Ballroom Tuesday night as part of the third leg in their You+Me Tour. It is a fitting title for the tour, as their performance felt totally inclusive of the warm Turner Hall crowd. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/onmilwaukeecomstaffwriters/polyphonicturner51612.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/onmilwaukeecomstaffwriters/polyphonicturner51612.html?30200 Wed, 16 May 2012 12:38:00 CDT In the last month, saxophonist Andrew Love, one half of the Memphis Horns, died, and today, more bad news - Duck Dunn, the bass player for that stellar band, passed away in his sleep after a gig in Tokyo. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/onmilwaukeecomstaffwriters/duckdunn.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/onmilwaukeecomstaffwriters/duckdunn.html?30184 Mon, 14 May 2012 17:09:00 CDT Mark Shurilla, an intimate part of the music scene in Milwaukee, died today at the age of 46. Heart problems is all I know. This world is a sadder place with Shurilla gone. He helped a lot of musicians in this town and was always full of optimism and spirit, two qualities in notable short supply in the world of music. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/davebegel/shurilla.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/davebegel/shurilla.html?30187 Mon, 14 May 2012 15:21:00 CDT It's been a busy year for Milwaukee native and "American Idol" alum Naima Adedapo. Nevertheless, Adedapo graciously took some time from her hectic schedule and, jetlagged from her recent "Idolpalooza" show in Australia and assisted by occasional side commentary from her two little girls, answered a few questions for OnMilwaukee.com. http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/naimatalks.html http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/naimatalks.html?30176 Mon, 14 May 2012 14:59:00 CDT If news that local jazz musician and organizer Jamie Breiwick has yet another new release comes as a bit of a shock, you're not alone. The ever-occupied, constantly creating Breiwick is a musical force of nature. His new record, "Music of Thelonious Monk: Friday the 13th," is available only as a free download. Breiwick says the release wasn't something he planned. http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/breiwickmonk.html http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/breiwickmonk.html?30064 Mon, 14 May 2012 13:06:00 CDT Though Panalure is a new name in local music, the names of its members may be familiar. The group, which incorporates steel guitar, accordion and ukulele in its atypical American roots music sound, includes local music veterans like Ken Hanson and Michael De Boer, among its six members. http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/panalure.html http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/panalure.html?30089 Fri, 11 May 2012 15:05:00 CDT On Friday night the Milwaukee Mustangs hope not only to gain new fans but start a new music tradition similar to the Admirals. Country music's Justin Moore takes the stage after the game. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/justinmoore.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jeffsherman/justinmoore.html?30147 Wed, 9 May 2012 15:02:00 CDT In an attempt to pay homage to the great (Violent Femmes), Milwaukee duo Logic and Raze have re-interpreted the song and modernized it for a whole new generation. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/bobbytanzilo/hiphopblister.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/bobbytanzilo/hiphopblister.html?30148 Wed, 9 May 2012 11:40:00 CDT Soulful blues outfit Tweed Funk is still a baby, formed just 18 months ago. But in that time, the quartet has become a household name in the Midwestern blues scene. Believe it or not, the group's already got a second disc ready to launch at a release party this Friday at Shank Hall. "Love Is" was co-produced by local guitar giant Greg Koch. http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/tweedfunkloveis.html http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/tweedfunkloveis.html?30092 Tue, 8 May 2012 15:04:00 CDT If anybody ever asks you if there is great music in Milwaukee, send them to see the Milwaukee Mafia in action. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/davebegel/milwaukeemafia.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/davebegel/milwaukeemafia.html?29986 Mon, 23 Apr 2012 14:11:00 CDT In anticipation of their April 27 album release concert at Turner Hall, Juniper Tar and friends played a special residency gig series at The Hotel Foster. This past Wednesday was the final show. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/onmilwaukeecomstaffwriters/junipertarblog.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/onmilwaukeecomstaffwriters/junipertarblog.html?29973 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 22:11:00 CDT When Nick Lowe initially took the stage Thursday night at the Turner Hall Ballroom, he didn't say a word. Starting off the show alone with a guitar, he launched into two numbers. Now in his early 60s, Lowe has been performing live for over 45 years and he clearly believes in letting his music do most of the talking. However, when Lowe did talk, he was remarkably engaging. http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/nickloweturner.html http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/nickloweturner.html?29968 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 13:02:00 CDT Lil Kim is making her way to Milwaukee, and she's coming to the Riverside Theater for a live show May 27. http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/lilkimriverside12.html http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/lilkimriverside12.html?29959 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 13:01:00 CDT Even though the Dandy Warhols have played together since 1994, the quartet from Portland is showing no signs of slowing down. Their new album, "This Machine" drops next week and again, the band heads out on tour. You may know the band from some of their catchy hits like "Bohemian Like You." Or, you may have seen "Dig!," a documentary that compares them with The Brian Jonestown Massacre, and as we learned, is completely despised by the Dandy's frontman, Courtney Taylor-Taylor, who we caught up with by phone. http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/courtneytaylortaylor.html http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/courtneytaylortaylor.html?29923 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 05:03:00 CDT A new Bob Marley documentary film is on the way and so is a two-CD soundtrack, also available on three vinyl LPs. They're released tomorrow but you can enter to win a copy of the CD set right here. http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/marleymovie.html http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/marleymovie.html?29922 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 14:25:00 CDT The Wisconsin Area Music Industry held its 32nd annual WAMI Awards Sunday, April 15 at the Fox Cities Performing Center in Appleton. http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/wamiawardshow12.html http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/wamiawardshow12.html?29914 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 09:16:00 CDT Wisconsin State Fair officials announced the final two Potawatomi Bingo Casino Main Stage headlining acts for this year's Wisconsin State Fair today. http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/finalstatefairacts12.html http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/finalstatefairacts12.html?29891 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 05:00:00 CDT Death Cab for Cutie played tonight at The Riverside Theatre with the Majik*Majik Orchestra for a sold-out audience. The show was a melancholy, energetic delivery of songs from past and present with an extremely dramatic ending. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/mollysnyder/deathcab2012.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/mollysnyder/deathcab2012.html?29912 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 00:19:00 CDT Most everyone knows that we are extremely fond of Old Crow bourbon, and over the past seven years we've accumulated enough Old Crow bottles to build a small hut. Last night was, however, the first time that we'd ever been asked to sign one! Yeah, it was one of those nights. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/onmilwaukeecomstaffwriters/junipertarresidency3.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/onmilwaukeecomstaffwriters/junipertarresidency3.html?29903 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 10:43:00 CDT This year's Record Store Day is Saturday, April 21, and The Exclusive Company will have free performances all day at its shops on the East Side (1669 N. Farwell Ave.), in Greenfield (5026 S. 74th St.) and in West Bend (144 N. Main St.). http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/bobbytanzilo/exclusiveinstores.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/bobbytanzilo/exclusiveinstores.html?29896 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 15:45:00 CDT Summerfest may be Milwaukee's premier music festival, but it isn't the only gig around. Lollapalooza returns to Chicago's Grant Park Aug. 3-5 with a full lineup of bands, which the festival announced today. http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/lollapalooza12.html http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/lollapalooza12.html?29875 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 12:57:00 CDT DJ CK has gigged for house parties, birthday celebrations, bars and fundraisers ever since she bought a turntable two years ago and started "playing around with it." She got a little help from friends along the way, including DJ Old Man Malcolm. http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/djck.html http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/djck.html?29859 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 09:02:00 CDT Mason Jennings may be from Minneapolis, but he made it clear Saturday night that he felt at home in front of a supportive Turner Hall Ballroom crowd. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/onmilwaukeecomstaffwriters/jennings12.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/onmilwaukeecomstaffwriters/jennings12.html?29849 Mon, 9 Apr 2012 09:32:00 CDT Wow, Wednesday night was a blast. Again, we are amazed and humbled at the amount of people willing to come out and experience what we're doing during these Wednesday night stays. I'm pretty confident that by the end of this little shindig, we are going to each walk away with a handful of really great new pals. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/onmilwaukeecomstaffwriters/junipertarresidency2.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/onmilwaukeecomstaffwriters/junipertarresidency2.html?29840 Fri, 6 Apr 2012 10:44:00 CDT The annual Record Store Day is on the horizon, taking place on April 21, 2012. The event seeks to drive traffic to indie record shops, and most labels unveil a series of gems each year to drive customers. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/bobbytanzilo/omnivorerecordstore.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/bobbytanzilo/omnivorerecordstore.html?29801 Mon, 2 Apr 2012 15:45:00 CDT Though local hip-hop raconteur and OnMilwaukee.com contributor JC Poppe has put an end to his Milwaukee UP blog chronicling Brew City hip-hop, thankfully he's staying the course with his ongoing series of mega-gigs to raise money for great causes. Hip-Hop Hates Illiteracy takes place Friday. April 6 at the Cactus Club. http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/hhhatesilliteracy.html http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/hhhatesilliteracy.html?29684 Mon, 2 Apr 2012 05:06:00 CDT Why should you care about what you are about to dive into? Well really we don't expect you to, but we really love Milwaukee and have gotten an opportunity to see our city in a different light, one that has us really freaking excited. So every week, we will share some things with you about our music residency happening at the Hotel Foster on the East Side of our city. Buckle in, there are English majors in this band. (They didn't all graduate, but that's neither here nor there.) http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/onmilwaukeecomstaffwriters/junipertarweekone.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/onmilwaukeecomstaffwriters/junipertarweekone.html?29774 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 12:19:00 CDT A few weeks after Counting Crows' Adam Duritz was singing praises of Milwaukee's Field Report (formerly Conrad Plymouth) all over Twitter, the Milwaukee group is hitting the road for a West Coast and down South tour with Megafaun, and takes a couple tracks national via Spin Magazine. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/bobbytanzilo/fieldreporttour.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/bobbytanzilo/fieldreporttour.html?29764 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 12:43:00 CDT The Wisconsin Area Music Industry has announced its first music series, "Downtown Alive," to be performed the evening of April 14, 2012, the night before the WAMI's 32nd annual awards show at Fox Cities Performing Arts Center. http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/wamidowntownalive.html http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/wamidowntownalive.html?29721 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 15:38:00 CDT Just because Milwaukee UP is done doesn't mean that I'm completely going to fall off of the face of the earth. When I come across something that I think is cool, I'm going to share it with people, because that is still something that I feel is worthwhile. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jcpoppe/altoslogicraze.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jcpoppe/altoslogicraze.html?29720 Tue, 27 Mar 2012 14:13:00 CDT The Charles Allis Art Museum's musical series, Allis After Hours, will host an American Roots Music Series every Thursday this May. The condensed music series will feature a selection of local musicians working in the genre of American roots. http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/allisafterhoursroots.html http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/allisafterhoursroots.html?29701 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 12:40:00 CDT Classic rock musicians Donald Fagan, Michael McDonald and Boz Scaggs bring their supergroup, The Dukes of September to the Riverside Theater, Monday, Aug. 20. http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/dukesofsept.html http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/dukesofsept.html?29698 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 09:44:00 CDT "Traps," Jaill's second disc for Seattle's Sub Pop Records is due out June 12. Here's our first impression. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/bobbytanzilo/jailltraps.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/bobbytanzilo/jailltraps.html?29697 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 08:52:00 CDT Expectations were high tonight for the Jane's Addiction show at the Eagles Ballroom. No one needs or wants to see a tired nostalgia show with bloated ticket prices and deflated entertainers. But no worries, folks, this was not at all the case with this evening's performance. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/mollysnyder/janesaddictionnreview.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/mollysnyder/janesaddictionnreview.html?29694 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 00:46:00 CDT Considering how quickly "American Idol" turned singers such as Danny Gokey and Naima Adedapo into local celebrities, it is surprising how little attention has been paid to Scott Dangerfield. While he was barely featured on the current season of the hit show, Dangerfield still made it into the Top 42 before being eliminated. Now back home in Milwaukee, Dangerfield is the lead singer of the five-member band Crash County, who performed Friday night at the Milwaukee Ale House. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/onmilwaukeecomstaffwriters/crashcounty.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/onmilwaukeecomstaffwriters/crashcounty.html?29693 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 13:19:00 CDT The idea of giving up the identity that I have cultivated over the last five years is a troublesome one. I have been an active member of the Milwaukee hip-hop community since 2007 and my love for the quality and quantity of output from its finest sources only grew that love. The part that music has played in my development is a reality that has recently become much more a discussion of my past rather than my present, and it is due to this attitude that I must end the run of Milwaukee UP. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jcpoppe/finalmilwaukeeUP.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/jcpoppe/finalmilwaukeeUP.html?29670 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 12:17:00 CDT Acoustic guitar royalty will be in town next week. California-based Alex de Grassi will be in residence at the UWM Peck School of the Arts, which has one of the top finger-style guitar programs in the country. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/damienjaques/uwmdegrassi.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/damienjaques/uwmdegrassi.html?29673 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 07:58:00 CDT WATERS, fronted by Van Pierszalowski - formerly of Port O'Brien - opened for Clap Your Hands Say Yeah in Milwaukee in December, not long after "Out in the Light" was released. Now, as the record has continued to quietly garner rave reviews, Pierszalowski and company are back to play at Turner Hall this week. http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/waters.html http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/waters.html?29571 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 13:02:00 CDT Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Bonnie Raitt and Crosby, Stills and Nash will each bring their new tours to Milwaukee this August. http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/raittandcsn.html http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/raittandcsn.html?29637 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 09:58:00 CDT They take jazz seriously at Wauwatosa East High School. And it's been true for more than a dozen years now, thanks to retiring teacher Rob Engl, who has served as the school's band director for 13 years. This year's annual concert takes place on Wednesday, March 21 and features the Northern Illinois University Jazz Ensemble, guest artist Wycliffe Gordon, former trombonist in the Wynton Marsalis Septet, and The Wauwatosa East Jazz Ensemble. http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/tosajazz12.html http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/tosajazz12.html?29514 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 05:07:00 CDT It seems kinda hard to believe, but when Hudson plays at The Estate Friday night at 9:30, it will be the first time any of the band's long-standing members - Matt Liban, Bryan Mir, Paul Jonas and Matt Meixner - have played the East Side club. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/bobbytanzilo/hudsonestate.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/bobbytanzilo/hudsonestate.html?29568 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 08:18:00 CDT The Wisconsin Area Music Industry announced the nominees for their 32nd Annual Award Show today. http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/2012WAMInominees.html http://onmilwaukee.com/music/articles/2012WAMInominees.html?29592 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 16:54:00 CDT For me, though, the star of the Concert for Eileen was a band called 1913. It's a band that is almost impossible to describe. http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/davebegel/1913benefitforeileen.html http://onmilwaukee.com/myOMC/authors/davebegel/1913benefitforeileen.html?29590 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 12:23:00 CDT
