Postmodern Jukebox

So, I am going to take a little departure from the normal blog here and share with you a group my husband introduced me to - Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox. This is a group that we need to get to the PAC sometime either on the back of their current tour or on the next. The good news is that they are coming to Milwaukee on October 30. Click HERE for tour dates in your area. What I love about this group is they take popular songs and flip it and take you back in time. The vintage arrangements are so clever and the musicians and singers are so talented. If that wasn't enough they also tour with an amazing tap dancer that will blow your mind with her taps. Well done. Below are some links and videos...

Symphony on the Rocks hosted by Vic Ferrari - Jones Park

Once a year some members of the Fox Valley Symphony play a classic rock concert with Vic Ferrari Band in Jones Park. The crowd turn out is always excellent and there are plenty of food and drink vendors for them.  Click here to learn more about Vic Ferrari Band including a tour schedule.  It is truly a fun time especially witnessing the members of the symphony having a blast "rocking out" (If you look carefully on the second video you will see a cellist leave the stage to walk among the crowd cello and all). Below are a few photos and a couple of videos. I did start closer but the recorded sound was terrible due to the high volume, so I sacrificed the visual for the sound. (note to self, bring the zoom lens next time).







the music was loud enough to hear clearly even back here
