We brought back our signature soirée last year to an overwhelming response and are already building on that success as we gear up for our return to the Harley-Davidson Museum on Thursday, March 5.
SoundBites 2026, made possible by our friends from Reinhart Boerner Van Deuren, s.c., will once again be the most incredible dining room in Milwaukee with a menu that's ... well, it's a little early to reveal that part. But we can lift the lid on the 13 restaurants scheduled to join us this year:
Of course, what makes this event unlike any other in the city are the pairings from our 88Nine and HYFIN DJs. In collaboration with the chefs, they’ll pick a song to accompany the flavor of the food — tastes and tunes, working in perfect harmony. In addition to that experience, here’s what your ticket includes:
General admission
• Snacks and treats from Hill Valley Dairy, Purple Door Ice Cream and Whiskey Brown• Premium whiskey tasting featuring Jack Daniel's• Silent auction with items ranging from arts and entertainment to food and beverages• Gift-card pull from local restaurants• Music from DJ DRiPSweat
VIP package (only a few tickets left!!!)
• All general admission items• First access to the whiskey tasting• Sparkling white wine throughout the night• A handcrafted, locally made cheese board
We’re already hard at work filling the room with great music and even better food, but we need your help to fill it with the kind of energy that will propel all of us through 2026. Get your tickets now!
All proceeds from SoundBites directly benefit Radio Milwaukee. The event is made possible thanks to the generous support of our sponsors: Reinhart Boerner Van Deuren, s.c., von Briesen & Roper, s.c., Ellenbecker Investment Group, Jack Daniel's and Ope! Brewing Co.
