From the organizer

Saturday, May 9th | Enjoy a new dynamic trio featuring vocalist Julie Thompson accompanied by Gare Hofstad on guitar and Keith Watling playing a dual role as guitarist and bassist. The trio plays a repertoire of jazz standards, blues, rock, pop tunes and even traditional or well loved folk songs. Thursday, May 14th | Enjoy original music by Anthony Deutsch in Father Sky: heart-song medicine-music for the masses. Milwaukee pianist-singer-composer Anthony Deutsch has old-soul wisdom and speaks to people about matters of the heart, and the mind/body disconnect that often separates us from our own nature and from Nature. Saturday, May 23rd | The Ukuladies are taking over the Allis! Delight in a family friendly musical gathering by 30 local women playing the ukuleles, including some banjos and mandolins. From Broadway classics to contemporary favorites, there's something for everyone to enjoy!
