HOLIDAY SALE AT THE ONION STORE

Artist Ballini, Ogburn And Baumann

Marc Ballini and Ryan Ogburn have long had a weekly residency at East Side club The Jazz Estate, though the local musicians veer more toward jam band-style improvisation rather than straight-up jazz. Ogburn plays mandolin, and he and singer-songwriter-pianist Ballini started playing with guitarist Craig Baumann of the now-defunct Fat Maw Rooney in spring of 2008. But Ballini, Ogburn, and Baumann are more interested in providing a soulful backdrop for one of Milwaukee’s most laid-back bars, so the instrumental pyrotechnics are kept to a minimum most of the time.
