Studio Milwaukee Session Calendar

This is where you'll find the schedule for the nationally touring artists coming to our stage in the weeks ahead. All Radio Milwaukee members get opportunities throughout the year to attend, although the only way to guarantee an invite to every single one is at the VIP level or above. Take a look at what we have planned (or who you may have missed) and then head over to our membership page to get on the list for our next unforgettable session.

All sessions start at noon unless otherwise noted, with doors opening at 11:30 a.m. This schedule is subject to change based on artist availability. Click the artist name to hear any sessions that already took place or check out our archive of performances.

Studio Milwaukee at The Cooperage

Studio Milwaukee is going on the road ... but not too far. These performances from artists in town for Summerfest will be in high demand, so head over to our contests page for a chance to be there for the show. Good luck!

June 22: Dawes (4 p.m.)

Eight albums into their career, Dawes have established themselves as equal parts storytellers and songwriters, with compositions that provide listeners with a palpable sense of someone else's experiences. Formed by brothers Taylor and Griffin Goldsmith, the band released most recent album Misadventures of Doomscroller in 2022 and are in the process of putting together LP #9.

June 27: Brigitte Calls Me Baby (1 p.m.)

The music of Brigitte Calls Me Baby is equal parts elegant time warp and up-close exploration of our modern-day neuroses. The Chicago-based band ingeniously spans genres and eras, merging the lavish romanticism of mid-century pop with the frenetic energy and spiky intensity of early-millennium indie-rock.

June 28: Hippo Campus (1 p.m.)

Since the very beginning, Minneapolis’ Hippo Campus have tried to make sense of the world around them. They’ve always embraced the ride, the good and bad, trudging through together. Nearly a decade into being a band, Hippo Campus still embrace and are guided by the ethos of shaking it up, sonically or otherwise.

June 29: Amos Lee (1 p.m.)

Philadelphia-born singer-songwriter Amos Lee released his gold-selling self-titled first album in 2005 and has been known for his association with a long list of collaborators and touring partners, from Paul Simon and Bob Dylan to Zac Brown Band and Willie Nelson. Lee’s soon-to-be-released 11th studio album, Transmissions, continues to expand his sonic range while sharpening his closely observed lyrics that squarely address death, aging, and love.

July 5: Reyna Tropical (12:30 p.m.)

Reyna Tropical is led by guitarist, singer, songwriter and producer Fabiola Reyna (founder of She Shreds Media). Investigating landscapes of the tropical diaspora, Reyna Tropical is a musical exploration of intuition, transition, connection and continuation — a celebration of spiritual survival pulsing with the beat of all things tropical.

Recent sessions

June 14: Iron & Wine

Iron & Wine is the name that singer/songwriter Sam Beam uses to send his intimate and heartfelt indie folk out into the world. His deeply burnished vocals, keen melodic sensibility, and introspective, free-flowing lyrical point of view combine to give him a singular artistic vision.

June 7: Cloud Nothings

For nearly 15 years, Cloud Nothings have continued to hit the target, steadily becoming a part of the fabric of modern indie rock as we know it with a run of fantastic albums. This streak continues unabated with their latest full-length, Final Summer — an album that’s so assured, so instantly satisfying, that it forces you to pause and realize you’re listening to one of the great American rock bands in their prime.
