South Milwaukee is blessed to have arts and entertainment options not typically available in cities our size. And it’s all due to the South Milwaukee Performing Arts Center.
Case in point: The BoDeans. They’re coming to the SMPAC on Feb. 24.
Learn more in this Journal Sentinel story and on the SMPAC website. From it:
The BoDeans are one of Milwaukee’s most popular and enduring bands. With the release of their ninth studio album, Mr. Sad Clown, they will be touring some of Wisconsin’s most outstanding theaters, including the South Milwaukee Performing Arts Center.
The show is specially designed for the intimate theaters they plan to visit and features founding members Kurt Neumann and Sam Llanas along with other band members. The band will be performing beautifully reworked classics from the BoDeans legendary catalog and songs from the new Mr. Sad Clown. Along side the music, the BoDeans will throw in a few stories to make this a truly memorable and special experience.
Of course, there are plenty of other events coming up before Feb. 24 at the SMPAC, including a Dec. 8 holiday concert by the Milwaukee Symphony Orchesta and the center’s 2010-2011 Performing Arts Series, which includes shows by Grammy-nominated blues artist John Hammond and local historian John Gurda.
And here is a list of past performances. It’s an impressive list — something all South Milwaukee residents should be thankful for and boastful of. I know I am.
