The Lowlands Group has extended its popular summer live music series at area restaurants through the month of September.
The music series features performances from a mix of best-loved and upcoming Milwaukee musicians in genres as diverse as bluegrass, jazz pop, reggae and country.
“Even though Labor Day weekend is already upon us, there is still plenty of summer patio weather to enjoy outdoor music,” said Eric Wagner, Lowlands Group owner. “We’ve got a great lineup of local musicians performing through the early fall, which to me is almost the best time to enjoy outdoor shows in Wisconsin.”
The full live music schedule will feature music from local artists including Acoustic Blu – Dale, Andy Braun, Sarah Day, Alyssia Dominguez, Brett Gaertner, Brooklyn Marti, Ben Mulwana, Orlando Peña, Red Rabbit, Nate Scheurell, Zach Seidl, Smoke n Mirrors, Tae, Jack Tell, and Jake Williams.
