Episode Details

The Fifth Friday Music Fest, taking place on May 29th represents a key regional collaboration between Dave Willems, curator of Appleton's Mile of Music Festival, and Eric Krueger, managing partner of The Crystal Ballroom in Hilbert/St. John. This concert event acts as an expansion of the "Mile of Music Presents" series, bringing original, independent live music into Calumet County’s historic 1928 dance hall.

Listen in as Dave and Eric discuss with host Rick Sense, the Fifth Friday Fest event's organization, logistics, and its long-term significance for the local music community. The three talk about the performance venue from the artists perspective, what goes into producing an event like this, and what to expect during the evening's show.
