It was a fantastic day for live music by @canaryreeds of @uwmpsoa, performing at @hangoutmke. Very well done contemporary repertoire by outstanding young musicians in a place where you could get a latte OR beer and/or play ping pong, fussball, many varieties of card games, the gigantic operation game, etc. So much fun!

Our patrons are like gold to us... which is why @uptownart_sussex is hosting our next patron-only event, featuring @keithpulvermacher and his band! Uptown Art is a WMV patron... and we support those who support us!

It was great fun, having musicians play for the @drinkbrewcity Winter Whales beer tasting event this afternoon. Musicians were Scott Lowery and @justinjagler - a great representation of #livemusicwisconsin.

A little bit of branding, a little bit of ♥️: those who’ve helped WMV either as a musician in this inaugural year, or by meeting with @allymschweitzer and giving her tips on venues, patrons, musicians, etc... have gotten one of these.
Now six months since our first concert event, we’ll put it out there to our social media friends: have YOU got ideas for us? Direct message us, and we’ll set-up a time to talk... and to get you one of these. 😉 #CommunityThroughMusic

We are very pumped to be providing musicians for part of this @drinkbrewcity event, this Saturday. WMV will be sponsoring musicians in the Speakeasy at @bestplacepabst, from 12:00-4:00. Have you got your tickets? #drinklocalmilwaukee #livemusicmilwaukee

We were recently asked “so, what type of person is a WMV patron?” Our 23 patrons are people and businesses who believe in supporting musicians through putting live music out there as much as possible, paying musicians appropriately, encouraging the next generation of musicians, and building this community of live music.
These 23 patrons will be invited to hear Keith Pulvermacher and his band play for a special WMV patron-only concert this February. Want to be included in the invite list? Become a #WMVpatron. 😉 #supportlocalmusic #supportlivemusic #supportwimusic

When one of your patrons is a musician herself, who happens to have a fantastic NYE gig at a venue that is super supportive of live music... we are there. You support us, we support you - as much as possible! #WMVPatronLove #LiveMusicWI The Dots rocked the house tonight!

Merry Christmas! 🎄
We’re so grateful for those who’ve helped to shape our WMV community in our short existence thus far. As a result, we’ve revised our mission statement to reflect this. All the best to you and yours, today and every day! #WMVMission

[Oddly] beautiful December day, for checking out a potential venue for warm weather months.

One of the more endearing moments from last week’s Rockabilly Christmas, which helped to raise funds for @civicmusicmke, was when student scholarship recipients of CIVIC MUSIC MKE’s got up during the band’s break, with their teacher, and performed Christmas music for us. And they are both first year students! Very brave souls who did an incredible job; and then got to mingle with the pro musicians - Rockabilly Rebels - afterward. #WMVCommunity

What are YOU up to on Saturday, 12/28? We’ll be at @nostudiosmke, listening to music by @thebelleweather from 2:00 - 3:00. Fourth floor lounge... amazing view of the city, ridiculously good musicians. Join us! #wisconsinmusic #livemusicwisconsin
