Wauwatosa's About To Be Invaded... By Scotsmen!

For the 2019 Tosa Tonight season, I have challenged myself to write a short post about the upcoming performers. Not only is it a good exercise for me, but with any luck, someone might read it and actually be motivated to attend Wauwatosa’s wonderful Summer concert series.

I also hope, too, to introduce the artists’ work, if not already well-known.

With that said, this might be the shortest Tosa Tonight blog post ever, because the 7th show of 2019 season needs little introduction: Scotland’s own, Red Hot Chilli Pipers! Known as “The Most Famous Bagpipe Band on the Planet,” these fellows will be kicking off their Milwaukee Irish Fest weekend - where they will play for tens of thousands - in quaint little ol’ Wauwatosa.

Are we ready for this, tosa? Because based on the number of RSVP’s and social media impressions, we might have to relocate to a larger venue. Say, Alpine Valley.

Just kidding. We’ll be ready, but make sure you arrive early and find a good spot. Plus, you won’t want to miss the opener: Irish guitar virtuoso, Shane Hennessy. To be honest, I’m looking forward to fireworks off of Shane’s fretboard just as much as the bombastic pyrotechnics that RHCP are sure to include in their show.

This one’s going to be huge, folks. Don’t miss it!

(Psst. A little secret, too: this is their A-Team. The RHCP have a few traveling incarnations to allow the entire world to see their fun show, but that group that's coming to Milwaukee is their top tier. The best.)
