Days before the Rolling Stones are expected to announce some concert-related news, a Beatle beat them to the punch. The Riverside announced this morning that famed Beatles drummer, Mr. Conductor himself, Ringo Starr is coming to Milwaukee in October to play the Riverside Theater.
The show is Saturday, Oct. 17, with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. and the show expected to begin at 8 p.m. Joining Starr will be his "All Starr Band," including Todd Rundgren, Gregg Rollie, Steve Lukather and Richard Page of Mr. Mister.
Tickets for the show go on sale starting Friday, March 27 at noon. Reserved seating costs $75, $95 or $150.
The legendary drummer's upcoming tour correlates not only with the March 31 release of his new studio album, "Postcards from Paradise," but also with Starr's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on April 18.
2008 marked the last time Starr performed in Milwaukee, playing a gig at the Northern Lights Theater with another All Starr Band featuring the likes of Billy Squier, Gary Wright, Colin Hay, Hamish Stuart, Edgar Winter and Greg Bissonette.
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.
