Brent's flying solo during this week's OnMilwaukee.com / WMSE Local Music Podcast, but nevertheless, has plenty of good music and information to share with all of you.
It's a Summerfest week, so we've got a few local acts to highlight at the Big Gig. You can check out Reverend Raven at 4 p.m. on Thursday, July 5 at the M&I Classic Rock Stage before Greg Koch and B.B. King. Brent plays "My Life" off his 2006 album "Big Blue," released by Milwaukee's Land O Blues Records.
If you like the Burbank Cartel's "The Leonard Jones Potential," you can get your hands on a free copy of the hand-screened "Without Translation" EP when the band plays Summerfest's Cascio Groove Garage on Saturday, July 7. Milwaukee's Fable & the World Flat and Scarring Party open the show.
Clamnation, who appears on the new WMSE & Stone Creek Coffee Community + Music compliation CD, plays the Big Gig at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, July 5 at the M&I Classic Rock Stage, with Paul Cebar and Los Lonely Boys. Please enjoy "Cabeza Rojo" off "Vol. 3 Malacology."
The Goodnight Loving is apart of Milwaukee's own indie craft fair, Art vs. Craft, this weekend. Catch the band on Saturday with The Trusty Knife, opening for Calvin Johnson at the Todd Wehr Center. And you're in luck, as Brent has decided to make this Tuesday another two-for-Tuesday.
OnMilwaukee.com staff writer Julie Lawrence grew up in Wauwatosa and has lived her whole life in the Milwaukee area.
As any “word nerd” can attest, you never know when inspiration will strike, so from a very early age Julie has rarely been seen sans pen and little notebook. At the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee it seemed only natural that she major in journalism. When OnMilwaukee.com offered her an avenue to combine her writing and the city she knows and loves in late 2004, she knew it was meant to be. Around the office, she answers to a plethora of nicknames, including “Lar,” (short for “Larry,” which is short for “Lawrence”) as well as the mysteriously-sourced “Bill Murray.”
