Community Calendar

Some bands are static, solid, consistent. Death Is A Business has never been interested in that approach. It's a group with a nomadic soul, both in their travels and their sound. From America to Mexico to Peru, the world provides their greatest source of inspiration as they incorporate musicians and instruments from different locales to tell stories inspired by and for the people.

Join us at our Walker's Point studios for this global experience paired with a taste from right across the street, courtesy of Broken Bat Brewing. Doors open at 5 p.m., with the performance getting underway at 5:30 p.m.

For more than 36 years, Walker’s Point Center for the Arts has been a cultural staple of the Walker’s Point neighborhood and a powerful advocate for underrepresented artists in Milwaukee and beyond. As one of the city’s oldest and most beloved community art spaces, WPCA is renowned for providing high-caliber, accessible arts experiences for all — from bold exhibitions to youth arts programs. Like the neighborhood around it, WPCA is now entering a new phase of growth, one in which we believe the arts play an essential role in shaping responsible redevelopment and a shared, equitable vision for the future.

We celebrate 36 years of service under a full moon & on-board the vessel Harbor Lady alongside the supporters and community members that have been vital to our longevity and ability to carry out our mission.

Radio Milwaukee presents a special Studio Milwaukee Session during our Fall Membership Drive featuring Milwaukee native Buffalo Nichols! On his second album, “The Fatalist,” Nichols does things with blues that might catch you off guard. There’s 808 programming, chopped up Charley Patton samples, washes of synth. There’s a consideration of the fullness of the sonic stage and the atmospherics of the music that can only come with a long engagement with electronic music. But this is no gimmicky hybrid or attempt to turn blues into 21st century music by simply dressing it with skittering hi-hats. Catch Buffalo Nichols in Milwaukee before his show on Oct. 5 at Madison’s High Noon Saloon! This Session is FREE and open to the public on a first come, first served basis (max. 200 capacity). Enjoy a pop-up café hosted by Discourse Coffee before, during and after the Session. Don’t forget to contribute to our membership drive while you’re here! Can’t make it?

Radio Milwaukee and 88Nine present a special Studio Milwaukee Session during our Fall Membership Drive featuring Slow Pulp!
On “Yard,” — due out Sept. 29 — the Wisconsin-bred, Chicago-based four-piece nestles comfortably into pockets of nuance, impressions, contradictions — sonics and lyrics finessed together to bottle the specific tension of a feeling you’ve never quite been able to find the right words for. In that regard, listening to Slow Pulp can feel like being in a room with someone who’s known you so long that they can read your every micro-expression and pinpoint exactly how you’re feeling before you can. Perhaps this spawns from the band’s own shared history and chemistry; in various ways, the four of them grew up — are still growing up — together. Catch Slow Pulp at Radio Milwaukee before their show that night at the Back Room @ Colectivo! This Session is FREE and open to the public on a first come, first served basis (max. 200 capacity). Enjoy a pop-up café hosted by Discourse Coffee before, during and after the Session. Don’t forget to contribute to our membership drive while you’re here! Can’t make it?

Radio Milwaukee and 88Nine present a special Studio Milwaukee Session during our Fall Membership Drive featuring Grace Potter! Back in summer 2021, Potter took off on a solo cross-country road trip that would soon bring a life-saving reconnection with her most unbridled self. The Vermont-born artist spent the coming weeks crashing in roadside motels and taking time each night to deliriously transcribe the song ideas she’d dreamed up behind the wheel, often scrawling those notes onto the backs of postcards and motel notepads. After completing two more trips across the U.S. on her own, Potter flew to Nashville for a series of recording sessions that quickly gave way to her most magnificently unfettered collection of songs to date. Equal parts fearlessly raw memoir and carnivalesque fable, new album “Mother Road” is a body of work that goes far beyond the typical album experience. Catch Grace Potter at Radio Milwaukee before her show that night at the Pabst Theater! This Session is FREE and open to the public on a first come, first served basis (max. 200 capacity). Enjoy a pop-up café hosted by Discourse Coffee before, during and after the Session. Don’t forget to contribute to our membership drive while you’re here! Can’t make it?

Radio Milwaukee and 88Nine present a special Studio Milwaukee Session during our Fall Membership Drive featuring The Lemon Twigs! On “Everything Harmony, the fourth full-length studio release from New York’s The Lemon Twigs, the prodigiously talented brothers Brian and Michael D’Addario offer 13 original servings of beauty that showcase an emotional depth and musical sophistication far beyond their years as a band, let alone as young men. While they eagerly devour musical influences from everything and everywhere, they have somehow arrived at a cohesive and dynamic sound that speaks to our troubled times. Having recently worked with friends like Natalie Mering, with whom they appeared on the latest Weyes Blood album, they also collaborated with classic rock hero Todd Rundgren on his most recent album, “Space Force.” Rundgren, himself no stranger to eclecticism, says he can relate to their time-tripping approach to contemporary pop. Catch The Lemon Twigs at Radio Milwaukee before their show that night at Cactus Club! This Session is FREE and open to the public on a first come, first served basis (max. 200 capacity). Enjoy a pop-up café hosted by Discourse Coffee before, during and after the Session. Don’t forget to contribute to our membership drive while you’re here! Can’t make it?
