Josh Groban burst on to the international music scene in 2001 with the
release of his self-titled album and hit, "To
Where You Are." His follow up, "Closer," featured "You Raise
Me Up," the tune that's made him a bit of a sensation.
On August 7, Groban comes back to Miwaukee with his "Awake" tour for a 7:30 p.m. show at the Bradley Center. Beninese singer songwriter Angeliqu Kidjo opens. Milwaukee's own Gintas Janusonis has toured often with Kidjo, so don't be surprised if you see a familiar face on stage.
Tickets are on sale next Monday at 10 a.m.
A life-long and passionate community leader and Milwaukeean, Jeff Sherman is a co-founder of OnMilwaukee.
He grew up in Wauwatosa and graduated from Marquette University, as a Warrior. He holds an MBA from Cardinal Stritch University, and is the founding president of Young Professionals of Milwaukee (YPM)/Fuel Milwaukee.
Early in his career, Sherman was one of youngest members of the Greater Milwaukee Committee, and currently is involved in numerous civic and community groups - including board positions at The Wisconsin Center District, Wisconsin Club and Marcus Center for the Performing Arts. He's honored to have been named to The Business Journal's "30 under 30" and Milwaukee Magazine's "35 under 35" lists.
He owns a condo in Downtown and lives in greater Milwaukee with his wife Stephanie, his son, Jake, and daughter Pierce. He's a political, music, sports and news junkie and thinks, for what it's worth, that all new movies should be released in theaters, on demand, online and on DVD simultaneously.
He also thinks you should read OnMilwaukee each and every day.
