Cream City Music Festival at Catalano Square
They don’t call Milwaukee the city of festivals for nothing—we grow ’em in this town like Idaho harvests potatoes. Another festival just sprang up in the Third Ward: The first-ever Cream City Music Festival will take place in Catalano Square, and feature national touring acts Sam Roberts Band and Gringo Starr as well as local favorites The Championship and Invade Rome. Roberts is the can’t-miss act here: An unapologetic plunderer of classic rock—his latest record, Love At The End Of The World, kind of sounds like Paul McCartney fronting The Who—Roberts is one of the best pop-rock craftsmen working today. Live, he's a big ol’ cheeseball—he’s been compared to Bruce Springsteen, but his excitable antics are more reminiscent of Peter Frampton. (Believe it or not, that’s a compliment.)
