Wooldridge Brothers

Thursday, June 24th

Peter Mulvey

Over the past 20 years, self-described city-kid from Milwaukee - Peter Mulvey has pursued a restless, eclectic path as a writer and musician - immersing himself in Tin Pan Alley jazz, modern acoustic, poetry, narrative, and Americana stylings. Relentlessly touring – his attitude is, "When you love what you do, you can work all the time," – he has also shared the stage with luminaries such as Emmylou Harris, Richard Thompson, Ani diFranco, Indigo Girls, and Greg Brown, and has attracted an audience that stretches from Anchorage to Amsterdam.

7:00 - 9:00pm

Wooldridge Brothers

The Wooldridge Brothers, originally from Indiana, were a vital part of the Milwaukee music scene in the 90s, releasing three albums and playing throughout the Midwest, as well as at national music festivals such as South By Southwest in Austin, Texas. Formed by brothers Scott and Brian after their earlier band The Squares had run its course, the Wooldridge Brothers incorporated elements of the early Americana genre along with the pop and rock craftsmanship. Join Tosa Tonight as we dive deep into the rich original landscape of Milwaukee music that the Wooldridge Brothers have been yielding for years.

A fantastic variety of mouthwatering food and refreshing beverages available at every show from our friends at Maxie's, Leff's and more. Please support our series and leave your coolers at home.

Copper Box

Wednesday, July 14th

5:00 - 6:30pm

Bluegrass All Stars

The Bluegrass All Stars is a group of fun-loving, veteran musicians whose roots keep them coming back to each other and Bluegrass Music. They all started out in deeply rooted bluegrass, but as the years went by the siren songs of other forms of music – and steadier paychecks – helped them to stretch our musicality. Thankfully, when they returned to their bluegrass roots they melded these musical experiences to produce the combo that is the Bluegrass All Stars.

7:00 - 9:00pm

Copper Box

There's a thread connecting the gutsy party polkas of the upper Midwest, the music of Esteban Jordan (the Jimi Hendrix of the tejano accordion) and Doug Sahm, the classic roots rock of Creedence Clearwater Revival, the new Latin wave of Los Lobos, and the zydeco power of Clifton Chenier. Copper Box, from Oshkosh, Wisconsin, finds that thread and puts it together in a genre-bending celebration that channels the rowdy communal feel of a small-town party. Accordionist/vocalist Danny Jerabek and saxophonist/guitarist Michelle Jerabek both grew up in polka-playing families, but after their marriage in 1997 they began experimenting with other genres. The result is a stage show that's a barrel of fun and is sure to pull in Wauwatosa area fans!

Jon Stone and the Wanted Men

Tuesday, August 3rd

5:30 - 9:00pm (Come early for all of the family fun.)

Jon Stone and the Wanted Men

Sort of an ironic name for an event run by Tosa's finest but the only thing arrested here will be your attention (rimshot). Jon Stone and the Wanted Men are a Tribute to Johnny Cash and the Outlaw Country sound made famous by the likes of Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson - to name a few. Prepare to do some toe tappin' and knee slappin'. Helping fill out the evening will be special guests - "Higbee Higbee" performing classic rock favorites.

Come celebrate Tosa's Night Out with your neighbors.

Enjoy family-priced hot dogs, brats and soda with your entire family.

The Screaming Orphans

Join us for a preview of Milwaukee Irish Fest thanks to the help and generous support of our friends at The Milwaukee Irish Fest Foundation. This extraordinary line-up of music starts off with Screaming Orphans - four high-spirited, musically-obsessed sisters with the good fortune to have been raised in the magic of Bundoran in County Donegal Ireland.

7:00 - 9:00pm

Red Hot Chilli Pipers

Then, join us for a high energy show - Scotland-style! Since the Red Hot Chilli Pipers walked away with the top prize on UK primetime TV talent show, 'When Will I Be Famous' in 2007, the Red Hot Chilli Pipers haven't stopped for a breath, other than to inflate their bagpipes!

Taking their signature 'bag rock' to the masses, The Chilli's have fast become a global phenomenon, rocking far flung shores from Bangkok to New York and everywhere in between.

As well as embarking on more international adventures, 2008 had also seen the band record a live DVD and album entitled BLAST! (released in October 2008 on REL Records) The Chillis have also been honing their stage performance with the addition of brand new elements which will leave you desperate for more and cement their reputation as one of the most exciting live acts around.

Achieving platinum sales in Scotland, the Chilli's debut album, 'Bagrock To The Masses' has sold well over 50,000 copies so far and received plays from the likes of Chris Evans (Radio 2), Chris Moyles (Radio 1) and Bruce Dickinson on his 'Masters of Rock' show (Radio 2).

Featuring the classic Red Hot Chilli Pipers sound - a fusion of traditional pipe tunes and contemporary anthems - 'Bagrock' includes the likes of 'Clocks' by Coldplay, Queen's 'We Will Rock You' and a rock medley of Deep Purple's 'Smoke On The Water' and AC/DC's 'Thunderstruck'. 'Flower of Scotland' and 'The Hills of Argyll' get a look in too, Chilli style of course!
