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 and are subject to change based on artist availability.
Aug. 22: Paul Cebar
Paul Cebar cut his teeth musically in the coffeehouse folk scene of the mid-’70s in Milwaukee and has grown into an indispensable part of the city's sound. He's released more than a dozen albums through his various projects, most recently the "funky, lyrically charged" Paul Cebar Tomorrow Sound.

Sept. 30: Alan Sparhawk
Alan Sparhawk has long been a prolific and versatile musician, a restless spirit constantly driven to explore new sonic and emotional landscapes. While he’s best known for his three-decade tenure as the frontman of legendary band Low, his many side projects over the years reveal a musician unafraid to experiment with genres ranging from punk and funk to production and improvisation.
Even within Low, Sparhawk never adhered to a singular sound or formula. The band was a dynamic collaboration — part dialogue, part romance — between Sparhawk and his wife, Mimi Parker, the group’s co-founder, drummer and co-vocalist, as well as its radiant, irreplaceable heart. Now, as a solo artist, he’s delving deeper into experimental and intimate sonic spaces, combining haunting melodies with introspective lyricism that explores themes of love, loss and resilience.
