Read moreREVIEW: Dr. Dog at Turner Hall Ballroom
It was Tuesday, May 8th, 2018 the night Dr. Dog came to Turner Hall to show Milwaukee what they were all about. The crowd was an eclectic amalgamation of hipsters, older folks, and somehow a group of 18-year-old girls. The beer was cold and the air was steamy with the early scents of spring, summer and a hint of patchouli.

Read moreAUDIO: Wisconsin – “Wisconsin”
Statistically speaking, most bands named after geography have generally been complete garbage. However, in the case of Kenosha native Joey Lucente’s project, “Wisconsin”, he bucks the trend by putting together some well-developed indie pop, with a feel as mellow as driving through rural some town with a name you can’t pronounce in the earliest days of summer. Wisconsin’s self-titled EP

Read moreKaleo – Concert Review
Last night, Icelandic rock group Kaleo made their sequel appearance to a sold-out Turner Hall in a glorious way.

It’s clear who this band draws their influences from by creating their
