That's really cool of him to do that. I've never been a big fan, but that's awesome in my book either way.

how cool is this? goes to show that The Pabst is at the forefront of Milwaukee music and concerts - and Mr. Farrell, although I don't dig Satellite Party as much as JA, is still one call - albeit crazy - cat

Pabst Pavilion

Published Monday, May 20

Thanks to Erik Larson`s 2003 bestseller, "The Devil in the White City," yet another generation is fascinated by the 1893 Chicago World`s Fair: Columbian Exposition. Despite its enduring - in itself somewhat surprising - popularity, little remains of this by all accounts stunning little temporary city. One survivor serves as the entrance and gift shop to The Pabst Mansion, 2000 W. Wisconsin Ave., and it is in increasingly desperate condition.

Front Street

Published Thursday, May 16

For a variety of reasons, I`ve been thinking about Front Street, which now seems so ironically named, fronting as it does onto nothing and serving as the ultimate definition of a Milwaukee "backstreet." In my mind, I see something much different that can be seen on the block today.

David Sedaris

Published Tuesday, May 7

David Sedaris is coming back to Milwaukee. The literary funnyman will be appearing in "An Evening With David Sedaris" on Nov. 1 at the Pabst Theater.

Tracy Morgan

Published Monday, May 6

As a stand-up comedian, Tracy Morgan has gained a reputation as someone whose shows are fraught with controversy. This perception became reality during Morgan`s show at The Pabst Theater on Sunday night.

Marc Maron

Published Sunday, May 5

After a week in which he released a new book and had his new comedy series premiere on IFC, Marc Maron capped it off with an extended stand-up performance at The Pabst Theatre on Saturday night.

Kelly Hogan

Published Monday, April 29

Kelly Hogan is one of the busiest working musicians around and on Sunday night, she reminded the Pabst Pub audience of why she is so in-demand with a marvelous performance that showcased all of her talents.

Aisha Tyler talks Archer

Published Thursday, April 4

I`m super excited for Saturday`s "Archer Live," the in-person incarnation of the hit FX show that blows me away every week. I`ll just throw it out there: "Archer," the animated spy comedy is not only the funniest show on TV now, but it ranks among the funniest shows of all time. Filthy, witty and beautifully drawn, it packs an amazing amount of comedy into every episode. In advance of the show, I spoke to Aisha Tyler (Lana Kane) by phone.

Emmylou Harris

Published Wednesday, March 20

The crowd at The Pabst Theater knew they were seeing something rare, a gem of a band, a star who usually maintains her well-deserved place center stage, letting her hair down and sharing a little of the limelight. Make no mistake about, in any sane country in the world, Emmylou Harris would be considered a national treasure and all her experiments are worth catching.

Ralphie May talks to OMC

Published Wednesday, March 13

Ralphie May is performing at The Pabst Theater this Saturday, March 16. OnMilwaukee.com caught up with him on the road to talk candidly about his family, his comedy and why he doesn`t want to be part of the "in crowd."

Amy Schumer

Published Sunday, March 10

Usually at any concert the opening act is designed to serve as a solid appetizer to get the audience settled in for the headline performer. This was not the case at The Pabst Theater on Saturday night as Amy Schumer`s opener Bridget Everett was a supernova that made Schumer`s set feel like a post-dinner piece of hard candy.
