We’re going waaaay back for some Milwaukee nostalgia today. We’re cranking up the big band vibes as we welcome none other than the trailblazing bandleader Woody Herman, a true pioneer who led “The Herd” to jazz greatness. He was one of the featured halftime performers at Super Bowl VII. His band appeared for Frank Sinatra’s television special “The Main Event” and they performed on the album of the same name. Woody is from Milwaukee and will share some of his memories. He was set to appear at a new venue in Milwaukee. So, get ready to experience the swinging spirit of Woody Herman.
