The Milwaukee Pabst theater is one of the nicest regional venues to hear serious music. It combines old world craftsmanship and charm with great acoustics.

This is very short notice but tickets are still available for Madeline Peyroux tomorrow night at 8 pm. She will doing material from her latest CD which to my ears sounds like a cross between Billy Holliday and Nora Jones; laid back, medium slow grooves with nice melodies.
Just announced is Diana Krall Sunday June 28. Tickets go on sale 3/27 and are $55 and $75. This is during Summerfest so you could check out Summerfest during the day and do the concert at night, or make a whole weekend of it.
