Milwaukee, WI

Last weekend we performed for the Strong Corp Reunion in Milwaukee, WI at the Frontier Center.  There were 2000 audience members there all ready to have a good time.  We brought our guitar player, Chris Vazquez and our drummer, Glen Schricker with us to perform our Dance Party Package.  The night ended with everyone dancing around and on the stage singing 'Don't Stop Believing' so loud the entire city could hear!  A big thank you to Glen and Chris for making the night a big success!

Below are some photos compliments of Glen.  The images of the event are from the first part of the evening during our traditional dueling pianos show.  The room was one of the most beautifully decorated venues we have performed in.  A big kudos to Underwood Events for creating a breathtaking atmosphere. 

 
The stage backdrop was absolutely stunning.  It was colors and images projected on a waterfall.  Plus, it kept the stage nice and cool!


There were two large screens on each side of the stage that roaming cameras projected our images.  I've never seen my head so big!

Another great shot of the screen.

Left a good job in the city...

The day after our show, we went to a Brewer's game!  Miller Park is a really nice baseball park with very devoted fans.

We also had a lot of time to walk around the city.  This is the architectural gem of the city.  The beautiful art museum.  We kind of think it looks like a ship.
