MILWAUKEE River Rhythms, downtown Milwaukee’s destination for music on Wednesday evenings, welcomes Reverend Raven & the Chain Smoking Altar Boys to the stage on Wednesday, June 20th. The free concert series takes place from 6:30 – 9 p.m. every Wednesday through August 29th (except July 4th) in Pere Marquette Park on Old World Third Street between State and Kilbourn.

Reverend Raven & the Chain Smoking Altar Boys, winner of multiple Wisconsin Area Music Industry (WAMI) awards, specializes in traditional blues that features smooth guitar and hot harmonica.

Concert goers can expect a performance filled with nothing but passion and skill from Reverend Raven.

Miller products, Malibu & Absolut cocktails, wine and soda will be available at the Westown beverage tent with all proceeds going to benefit the free event. Patrons can also enjoy food options from local food trucks and restaurants.
