Spring has sprung and April showers are getting mingled with snow in this weekend's forecast, so let's just stay dry at some indoor events, okay?
Here are five ideas for some rainy day fun in and around Milwaukee:
1. Trapper Schoepp CD release show
Here at Radio Milwaukee, we've been fans of Trapper Schoepp for awhile, and we're looking forward to the release of his new album, Rangers and Valentines.
Produced by Brendan Benson (The Ranconteurs), the new album will continue Schoepp's take on Americana with his imaginative storytelling with a cast of diverse characters.
The Anodyne release party Friday will be a homecoming following his recent overseas tour. Preview the experience with last week's 414 Music Live session HERE.
