Live music is headed back to Lake Park with Musical Mondays and Wonderful Wednesdays, a pair of free live summer music series which both announced their 2022 music lineups today.

But both feature a wide variety of excellent live music, from local acts to national standout, music for advanced musical palates to music for the youngest music fans, from jazz to alternative country to zydeco to R&B to a blend of all those sounds and then some.

As much as it is a gigantic cliché to say that one has always had a passion for film, Matt Mueller has always had a passion for film. Whether it was bringing in the latest movie reviews for his first grade show-and-tell or writing film reviews for the St. Norbert College Times as a high school student, Matt is way too obsessed with movies for his own good.

When he's not writing about the latest blockbuster or talking much too glowingly about "Piranha 3D," Matt can probably be found watching literally any sport (minus cricket) or working at - get this - a local movie theater. Or watching a movie. Yeah, he's probably watching a movie.
