Summer festival (announcement) season continues on this week, as Bay View's Chill on the Hill joined the daily Summerfest grounds stage announcements and River Rhythms in unveiling its lineup of local music coming soon to the Humboldt Park stage.
Announced with the help of WMSE Wednesday afternoon, the schedule is packed with Chill on the Hill's signature variety of local artists – from the pros from Milwaukee Rep and the MSO, to the talented young musicians of the Bay View High School drumline.

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.
