MILWAUKEE, Wis. (April 18, 2019) – From classic jazz acts to up and coming country stars, Jazz in the Park presented by Educators Credit Union has something for everyone to enjoy on Thursday nights beginning May 30 through Aug. 29. The free concert series in Cathedral Square Park will start with the gloriously gritty and soulful Altered Five Blues Band on Thursday, May 30. Concert-goers can enjoy happy hour drink specials from 5 to 6 p.m. before the music starts up at 6 p.m. through 9 p.m.
This summer’s premier lineup features several Milwaukee natives, including Paul Cebar Tomorrow Sound on June 6, Bill Bonifas Electric Band on June 13, and ‘tropidelic’ DJ Plaid Hawaii on Aug. 8, with Brew City Bass. Coming from just a short road-trip west on Aug. 1 is The Jimmy’s, a powerhouse blues group from Madison, WI.
Following a three-week break in the free summer concert series from June 27-July 11, award-winning blues band Josh Hoyer & Soul Colossal will take the stage on July 18. Country hats and boots are encouraged on this new theme night as well as on Aug. 22 when the talented Abby Anderson brings some contemporary country flavor to Cathedral Square Park.
