Harry Connick Jr. Milwaukee Theater

Harry Connick Jr. Milwaukee Theatre Friday, Apr 6th. Need I say that this man makes the ladies swoon? At least I know that my wife swoons over this guy. Actually, I have seen his show in previous years and Mr. Connick Jr. brings a really good band with him. Since my wife plays his CD's, I can certainly hear that he's got some vocal chops.

Jimmy Buffett a second entry

I cleared the date with my boss and I'm going to Jimmy Buffett at Alpine Valley on July 28th. It's going to be one long day for sure. I don't care if it takes three hours to get out of the parking lot after the show. Perhaps I could get a nap in to prepare for the drive home to Milwaukee. If you have ever seen Jimmy Buffett at Alpine Valley, you know it's a madhouse of fun.

See you there.

Roger Waters does Pink Floyd

On July 2nd, I'll be at Summerfest. I'll be going back in time to the 70's when I buy my ticket, sit and listen to Roger Waters playing Dark Side Of The Moon at Summerfest. He's going to play the entire album (yes album, not CD) during the second half of his set. I'm a bit too young to remember when the album came out, but it continues to sell to this day. I have a copy on my IPod, and I have my brother's scratchy album. I remember hearing that album while hanging out on the deck above our garage way back when. I think my parents let me say "bullsh*t" when I sang along, without being scolded. In fact I remember hearing it on AM radio without being bleeped. The Roger Waters show sold out in less than 1/2 hour, so I avoided the lawn seats and bought my tickets at Ticket King. That one was a no brainer. I'm not sitting in the hot setting sun, or the rain, or the wind if it's off the lake.

Another worthy Summerfest person who loves to go to shows can be found here.

Summerfest show announced for June 30th

To quote another blogger "Ok Go and The Fray? Yes, I would like to (and have) seen them, but will they fill the Marcus on June 30?" This is the first iffy show for Summerfest. Saturday night at Summerfest will help, but it's going to be tough to fill The Marcus Amp with that line up.

For the kiddies

I'm a bit too old for this one, but they just made the cover of Rolling Stone. Fall Out Boy is coming to The Bradley Center in Milwaukee on May 17th. Are they worthy of a Bradley Center show? Are they that popular? Perhaps it's the music industry having high hopes of a successful tour. I don't think the upper level will have a single ticket holder for that show. Will The Bradley Center tap a keg for the chaperon that brings their 14 year old? Time will tell if this band is more than a blip on the radar.
