Alison Brown

Alison Brown is a Grammy Award-winning banjo player who's transformed how people think about her instrument. Once known primarily for bluegrass picking, she's expanded the banjo's reach into jazz, classical, pop, folk, and Latin influences through her work with the Alison Brown Quartet. Critics praise her distinctive sound and artistic vision—she even left a successful career in investment banking to pursue music full-time. This is an all-ages show at a Milwaukee venue, making it accessible for families interested in live music. Tickets start at around $41, with doors opening early in the evening. If you're looking to introduce kids to something beyond typical children's entertainment or enjoy live acoustic music yourself, this performance offers a chance to hear an artist reshaping her instrument's possibilities.
