The 90-year-old Nelson (91 when he comes to town this May) last played in the Milwaukee area last summer, when he brought his Outlaw Music Festival to Alpine Valley. He also performed at the Big Gig in 2017 and 2019, headlining the Amp both times along with his all-star Outlaw Music Festival, before coming back in late summer of 2019 for Farm Aid at Alpine Valley

As much as it is a gigantic cliché to say that one has always had a passion for film, Matt Mueller has always had a passion for film. Whether it was bringing in the latest movie reviews for his first grade show-and-tell or writing film reviews for the St. Norbert College Times as a high school student, Matt is way too obsessed with movies for his own good.

When he's not writing about the latest blockbuster or talking much too glowingly about "Piranha 3D," Matt can probably be found watching literally any sport (minus cricket) or working at - get this - a local movie theater. Or watching a movie. Yeah, he's probably watching a movie.
