McMillan Concert Series - Art Stevenson & High Water
Sep. 10th 7pm

ART STEVENSON & HIGH WATER have been keeping traditional bluegrass music alive in Wisconsin and surrounding states since 1993. Since then, they have released seven CD recordings of well-chosen songs and original compositions, all of which received praise from reviews in the media, and frequent air play by radio music show hosts around the country. The band's mission is to preserve the hard-driving traditional bluegrass sound, while including material from other musical styles. In 2021 High Water emerged from the pandemic with a new mission, and for the first time since 2001, a new member!

McMillan Concert Series - Yasmin Williams
Sep 17th 7pm

Yasmin Williams is an innovative guitarist and composer known for her unique compositional approach and expansive instrumental style. Her latest album, "Acadia", released on Nonesuch Records, showcases her evolution from solo performer to collaborative artist, featuring partnerships with notable musicians like Aoife O'Donovan and Immanuel Wilkins.

Williams' distinctive creative process involves "ruminating" on single notes until compositions naturally emerge. Beyond traditional fingerpicked guitar, she demonstrates mastery of multiple instruments including kora, harp guitar, banjo, and electric guitar. Her music, while rooted in folk traditions, transcends conventional structures to incorporate elements of progressive rock and experimental composition.

Authors @ McMillan - Jesse Brookstein, "Best of the Wurst"
Oct 1st 6:30pm

Author Jesse Brookstein will talk about his new book, Best of the Wurst. Wisconsin is famous for its world-class cheeses and its “beer state” moniker. But every Wisconsinite knows that no tailgate party or backyard barbecue is complete without a grill full of sizzling hot brats. Or Polish sausages. Or good ol’ Oscar Mayer wieners. From charcuterie boards to chorizo, sausage is an essential ingredient in the state’s cultural identity. In this lively, comprehensive ode to the link, writer and storyteller Jesse Brookstein embarks on a quest to show why Wisconsin is the sausage maker to the world.

Authors @ McMillan - Robin Shepard, "A Keg of Their Best"

Sep. 3 6:30-7:30

Robin Shepard, author of A Keg of Their Best, will talk about his new book. Wisconsin has long been known as “The Beer State,” and the history of its capital city brims with stories of brewing innovation—from the city’s earliest beer-makers and long-forgotten farmstead breweries to today’s experimental microbrewers and enterprising taprooms. In A Keg of Their Best, journalist and beer expert Robin Shepard offers an authoritative history of Madison’s brewing legacy and its key figures from the 1830s to the present.
