Andrew McMahon With the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra

MILWAUKEE, WIS. — Singer-songwriter and pianist Andrew McMahon brings his blend of pop, rock, and heartfelt storytelling to the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra on Saturday, February 27, 2027, at 7:30 p.m. at the Bradley Symphony Center. The concert features songs from McMahon’s work with Something Corporate and Jack’s Mannequin, as well as his solo project, Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness, reimagined with lush orchestral color for an electrifying, deeply personal concert experience.

The MSO presale begins Monday, November 9. Tickets go on sale to the public on Wednesday, November 11.

Over a 25-year career, McMahon has moved through three musical projects, earning major chart success with Something Corporate and Jack’s Mannequin before launching Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness. In 2014, McMahon released his debut album under his own name and new moniker, featuring the breakout top 5 Alternative radio single “Cecilia and the Satellite.” He followed with the hook-packed Wilderness albums like Zombies on Broadway, which featured another top 5 single “Fire Escape,” Upside Down Flowers, and Tilt At The Wind No More.

Across his three projects, McMahon has sold nearly 2.5 million albums and surpassed 1.3 billion streams. He has performed at Coachella, Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, and Austin City Limits, and toured with artists including Weezer, Panic! At the Disco, Dashboard Confessional, and Billy Joel. In 2025, he brought all three of his projects together for his sold-out Three Pianos show at Red Rocks Amphitheatre.

His music and outlook have also been shaped by his battle with leukemia at age 22. In 2006, he founded the Dear Jack Foundation, which supports adolescents and young adults facing cancer. His story is chronicled in the documentary Dear Jack and his 2021 memoir, Three Pianos.

$1 per ticket will go to the Dear Jack Foundation, which provides impactful programming for adolescents and young adults diagnosed with cancer, helping improve quality of life and create positive health outcomes for patients and their families from treatment through survivorship.
