"Strawberry Cadillac" is a fruitful musical offering
April is National Poetry Month and in honor of the spoken word OnMilwaukee.com checks in with hip-hop / rap artist and poet Melissa Czarnik. Czarnik released her first CD, "Strawberry Cadillac," last summer, and her love for Milwaukee is crystal clear throughout the 17-song collection. She performs with the Eric Mire Band on May 9 at Stonefly Brewing Co.
