On Friday, January 17, 2025, Racine blues guitarist, Stephen Hull joins us in our studio theater. Stephen Hull gives the blues community exciting evidence that the future of music is in good hands. A Racine, WI native, born in 1999, Stephen Hull started playing blues at age 14 and never stopped, taking cues from Albert King and B.B. King as he developed his sweet, soulful guitar sound.
In February, we are excited to host TWO Grammy winning artists – composer and pianist Arturo O’Farrill and his Afro Latin Jazz Ensemble will make their Milwaukee debut on Saturday, February 1, 2025; and on Saturday, February 22, 2025 we are excited to host vocal ensemble Ladysmith Black Mambazo who are well known for their work on Paul Simon’s Graceland album. Both concerts begin at 7:30 p.m.
