Present Music Nation
June 5, 2015 at Hot Water Wherehouse. Concerts at 6:00pm and 9:00pm
(May 12, 2015 – Milwaukee, Wis.) The votes have been counted. The people have spoken. Present Music presents their season finale, Present Music Nation, June 5th, featuring two concert times (6:00pm and 9:00pm) at the Hot Water Wherehouse. Through the month of April, artistic director Kevin Stalheim released three groups of music choices totaling thirteen pieces for the PM Nation to listen to. Informed voters were then able to cast their ballots online and determine the final program, which will not be revealed until the night of the concert. “Choosing the music for a concert is like deciding which movie to go to,” states Stalheim in a letter to the PM Nation, “deciding what outfit to wear, choosing a country to travel to, deciding what to name your child, deciding which restaurant to go to, deciding who to marry.”With the sweet sounds of the Calamity Janes after each performance, audiences can look to get one final dose of new music and adventure for the season. This is your nation. The Present Music Nation.
