Just a face in the Kenosha crowd: Local music heard in recent months

It’s been quite some time since I’ve shared glimpses of the music created, produced and performed here locally in Kenosha.

Whether it’s Union Park Tavern, Public Brewing Co., Rustic Road, Kenosha Creative Space or any of our local venues, there is never a shortage of opportunities to support Kenosha bands.

And while I’ve taken some time off from sharing that experience firsthand in photo and video, that doesn’t mean I’ve stopped going.

Therefore, below, please find videos from three local venues where I had the pleasure of seeing some of my fellow local musicians share their skills in recent months.
