Part I
About this event
Jaguar Sun and Kurt Travis bring their Daisy Tour to Milwaukee's Cactus Club, promising an evening of immersive dream-pop and rock. Jaguar Sun, the project of Chris Minielly, blends influences from artists like Beach Fossils and Frightened Rabbit, creating a sound that's both nostalgic and fresh. Meanwhile, Kurt Travis adds his own flair, known for his dynamic performances and engaging stage presence. The Cactus Club's cozy atmosphere makes it an ideal spot for fans to enjoy these artists up close. Whether you're a long-time fan or new to their music, this show offers a chance to experience something special in a venue that feels like home.
From the organizer
Jaguar Sun is the solo project of Canadian multi-instrumentalist Chris Minielly. Brought to life in the small Southern Ontario town of Elmira, Chris took inspirations such as Big Theif, Goth Babe, Beach Fossils, Frightened Rabbit and Youth Lagoon and dove into producing music of his own. Now residing in Toronto Chris continues to record and produce from his DIY home studio treading his own line between Dream Pop, Rock, and Folk.

Part II · The feel

Loud. Conversation between songs only — plan around that.
